New member here. Saw some gravity wheels on youtube recently and have been fascinated ever since. I have some ideas about how a gravity wheel could possibly work, which I will attempt to make prototypes of.
I would like to know something though - lets assume that we have a working gravity wheel, how much energy could you harness from it assuming that it only spins about 10rpm? Thanks :)

re: Hello!
welcome Steve.
To many variables to answer your question. Diameter of wheel, amount of weight used etc.
I would have to say though if it only turned 10rpms., with no load attached,
it would have little to no excess power. Spend some time reading here.

Welcome to the forum. I have to agree with justsomeone. We would need more information to make an evaluation.

re: Hello!
This forum is mostly concerned with how to make that very first
"proof of principle" device. An experiment. A demonstration model.
Any machine that can just turn itself.
Don't even call it a prototype. (That might imply a production model.)
Don't even worry about "harvesting" energy.
Just find something keeps the wheel turning.
None of the other stuff really matters if you don't have that.

Welcome to the forum Steve C , i also heard about this forum from videos on utube nearly 2 years ago .
So if you build a wheel that revolves at 10 rpm , then you will see how much energy , according to Johann Bessler the wheel is simple , so simple that he thought he might not get any money for his wheel .
