I was playing with increasing velocities by spiraling weights in a coil to see if I could derive more energy than from freefall. I put a BB in a tightly coiled copper tube , arranged vertically. It had about 20 feet of travel. When it came out the bottom after all that swirling about, it was barely moving!
BUT, it took a LONG TIME to get to the bottom!!!!
I propose that if you can slow the descending side you can have more weight than the ascending side.
Now how can we do that?
