re: Gravity wheel concept...
...has as a starting point an observation: for a common flux power collector(wind,water),the flow and "wheel captor" are two visible ,but separate main "spare parts" .
For a possible gravity power collector this can be a suggestion...

...has as a primary mental representation,the fact that "the flow" and "the wheel captor" is an unique,common body.

re: Gravity wheel concept...
...has as a central idea,the suggestion that "the wheel" must "flow" :the "wheel" must be (represent),in the same time a "flow/fall".
We have so many wheels...but where is the flow/fall?!

re: Gravity wheel concept...
...has the same basic image,as a water-wheel immersed into a flow,on the riverside.
We have three main abstract spare parts:
-a fulcrum/support(riverside)
-a water-wheel
-...and separately,a visible flow(river),outside the water-wheel
Here,our problem,is to build a water-wheel,and to fix it on the riverside...
Gravity has two aspects:
-stability/statics/object's fixing
-unstability/dynamics/object's fall("flow")
We are interested about the dynamic aspect of gravity.
If we apply the basic image up-here,we have two question-marks,regarding a possible "gravity-wheel" (the fulcrum is out of question,I suppose...):
-to determine,release a fall/"flow"
-to imagine a self-running "wheel"
This time,it seems that we have two main abstract spare parts,only:the fulcrum and the "flowing-wheel"(the fall/"flow" is visible,also...but is "inside the wheel")

re: Gravity wheel concept...
... can have as a basic image,not a wheel on the river (constant velocity),but something alike a "wheel" on the sea-shore,collecting the power of surging waves (increasing velocity,as the gravity free fall).
We know that,there are many ways of changing energy from one form to another.
One way is using the energy of waves on the beach.
We can treat the gravity fall as waves of energy:we need to charge,store them as the incoming waves on a slope,at the sea-side.
It seems that usually ,the people play ripples,not wave... and the result is...not-self motion of the power converter...

re: Gravity wheel concept...
...can be a "relative" of a wave power station,on the beach,in all his amazing simplicity:
-wave capture chamber
-oscillating water column
All that we need is a "design translation"...capture"chamber" and oscillating "column" as a single spare part.
Best wishes! / Alex

re: Gravity wheel concept...
...has,as a main "actor"(symbol),a full up-down pendular fall in gravity.
The down-stroke of a pendulum,has some similarities with the incoming tidal waves...can be considered a gravity wave.
The term "wheel",maybe is not a clearly,definite expression:for a fish(body-tail),the tail is the prime mover.
For a possible gravity power collector,as a likeness of a sea-shore power station,we are concerned about big waves,not ripples(see "Wheel vs. lever" topic ).

re: Gravity wheel concept...
....is a general idea,a suggestion for a possible course of action to achieve a gravity power collector (the "classic" PM...).
It's a simple quickly made drawing,with no more or no less details ("spare parts").
Gravity free fall (v=g*t),it's not like a river flow(v=constant).
Gravity free fall has more similarities with a strong incoming wave to the beach (or a cascade...),and so with the simplified design of a wave power plant (capture element and oscillating element ).
A pendulum free fall in gravity is like an incoming wave to the sea-side.
A full up-down pendular fall in gravity is even more...
Maybe this "phantomatic" PM,has an extreme simplicity...as an electric L-C oscillator ?!

re: Gravity wheel concept...
.....can open an interesting question.
If the gravity free fall has some similarities with a strong incoming wave to a beach,we can have an equivalent design for a possible PM:the wave power plant(captor+oscillating "column").
If the gravity free fall is exactly as a water cascade (continuous fluid flow with an ever increasing velocity),then what can be an efficient,adequate design to collect the gravity power,so to apply this to a possible PM("closed" solid state "flow") ?!

re: Gravity wheel concept...
.....can open the next questions:
-how can be a "wheel" ,or something like this,that "charges" adequately the free fall of a high water cascade?!
-if we have it,can this be a suggestion for a possible PM/!

re: Gravity "wheel " concept...
...has an applicable interpretation at http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:Gravity_Motors as you can see:..."for a rotary device to *work* is to achieve a full 360 rotation,with acceleration between each complete turn".
This viewpoint counts upon a "full 360 rotation,with acceleration" .
Simply,a full up-down fall of a pendulum(fulcrum-rod-bob) ,achieves a 180 rotation,with acceleration...we have it so easy.
The next,and only step, is to keep going this motion to a full 360 rotation,with acceleration...nothing more.
So,let's think in a "pendular manner'...

re: Gravity wheel concept...
.....in a short,obvious expression :the "wheel"is in fact a lever,a variable lever (or if you like so much...a pulsatory two-spokes "wheel").
The plain,clear public demonstration you can find on youtube.com with "Cirque du Soleil" (the show with one man rotating a huge lever...).
Enjoy it...
If you replace the performer,with a simple movable joint mass,and if the lever is big enough....we can hope to arrive at a "self".

re: Gravity wheel concept...
.....playing gravity unbalance ( due to torque / arm difference , on the same side of the fulcrum...) at :
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Rgp6gcSaF2Y
There are a lot of opinions if this "classic" design is workable...on paper everything seems to be true , but the theory must be verified ( if not tempered...) with reality.
Maybe , the concept of this particular unbalance is not sufficient...

re: Gravity "wheel " concept...
.....resumes in a simplified symbol , as a pendulum with just barely enough energy for a full swing , you can see at :
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulu ... 190deg.gif
To play "enough energy " we need an in-out storage ( the best one is inertia )...and a variable counterweighted pendulum ("minimal wheel")...or an oscillatory leverage ("wavering" ) of gravity potential into motion.
To abridge the idea , take a look at :
