LOL. Well, you gotta admit, JS. I'm not as bad as Trev.
At least with me you get to see some diagrams and an explanation. 8-)

I have seen an easy way to overcome the problem of imperfect recoil and move on from a Point of Principle design
You can not impact a small mass into a larger mass (the mass of the wheel) and expect an energy gain without changing the after impact trajectory in towards the fulcrum and detaching a single weight from the frame of reference.
I see someone on Overunity has had the cheek to call his pathetic effort a gravity pulse motor - though to be fair in the title of his thread he calls it a pulse gravity motor. :-)
On reading his other recent posts it's clear he's an absolute nutter. So no competition there then, eh!

Thanks to the sims provided by Tarsier and the possibility of imminent disclosure by the Boys from Brazil, I have now got a move on and worked out a design for a Gravity Pulse Motor which is relatively easy to build and which given the necessary catches and trigger will harness the gravitational wind on a discontinuously continuous basis.
I suppose the action could be compared with that of a heart. That is continuously discontinuous.

Thanks to an explanation Jim gave on the workings of WM2D I now see that the failure of the simple pendulum to lock on to the compound pendulum exactly in Tarsier's Sim is an artefact of the program.
Trouble was that I spent so much damned time arguing about that trivial point that I nearly missed the elephant in the room - to wit, the failure of the two pendulums to lock together to form a single balanced beam.
