Hello to all, glad to see everyone is still hard at it. Scott, I like the changes you've made to the site.
As many of you know I built a wheel several months ago that was big and heavy but would not work as built. The problem is momentum and angular momentum (I did'nt make it large enough),
I did'nt account for such things but all is not lost.
I have learned alot from this device and I now know that basically two types of "mechanical gravity converters"
are possible. One type is external, the weights working from outside the driven wheel(s). The other
type is internal, the weights working from within a wheel.
I have built the first type and it could
not move fast enough due to it's small size and the manner in which the weights acted on the wheels. A type "one"
mechanical gravity converter must be built very large in relation to the large amount of weight needed to keep the weights moving,
also a type "one" mechanical gravity converter does not produce much power but it does not produce much
noise either. According to my math if I rebuilt my first mechanical gravity converter and made it twice as
large with the same weights it could produce a whopping 0.03 horsepower or enough power to sharpen a pencil.
I am now in the drafting phase for my second mechanical gravity converter, this time I'm building
a type "two" mechanical gravity converter for several reasons. The first is that it should be
easier to build, smaller, faster, cheaper and have a better power to weight ratio. I'm planning
the overall weight to be about 500 pounds and produce about 0.5 horsepower.
I know some of you don't like this kind of information and perfer pictures and cold hard math
so I'll stop with my wheel stuff and move on. I'm sure you saw me refer to my wheels as "mechanical gravity converters"
and not "perpetual motion machinces", but are'nt that what they are. I know that they will break
down as all machines do, but I don't think that gravity can be extinguished or transformed unless the body
that is producing or conveying the the force is transformed or destroyed. In other words the wheels would convert the
gravitational force into mechanical force but not effect the body generating the gravity and
allow the wheel to work forever. So is gravity a collapsing feild that falls on or into a body.
If so where does it come from, is it the so called zero point energy or something else altogether.
