: I said I wasn'toin to do this, but the reason murilo's machine won't work is because there is really no imbalance in the system. On side seems to be heavier but that is counterbalnced by the fact that the seemingly lesser side has to work harder to expand the weights to make them "lesser" in the first p[lace.
I see. so the 'stretching' effect at the bottom of the
lighter side has to fight the weight stack above it; all
that force concentrated on just 1 link just at the bottom...
(I think that's right... :*)
My new idea does not use any stretching/compressing, so
I'm cool there.
My Main core idea:
The force a weight CAN develop (on an arm,wheel,whatever) can be changed WITHOUT lifting or dropping it.
(Of course, it has to FALL to create energy)
This change is done with it's position within a system and the time it reaches that position (phasing).
(Of course OTHER things can change at that same position too!!)
:*)
