Preston Stroud - Abeling Gravity Wheel Replication Update 26-June-2010.MOV

......possible to make a perpetuuùm mobile if you have absolutely no friction. but you know you have, because even the weight against the air is a form of friction. and if you want it to keep running with a little bit of friction, you would have to pull energie out of nothing.....

[0123jeffrey]

.......obvious that you have loads of friction. all the tiny weels end stuff. why don't you try to make an invention that works at solar energie. it's still no perpetuum mobile, because their is more energie coming from the sun than you will produce, but it's at least efficient. it's just ........

[0123jeffrey]

it doesn't matter how good the idea looks! It's just a scientific fact that it is inpossible! i also see you are a very smart guy, but i don't get why you believe this can actually work. you are saying that you can get more energie out something than the amount you put in. it's just simple, energie doesn't disappear, and it surely doesn't appear. it's like having 2 rocks and trying to make 3 without doing anything. and this machine is surely impossible, because it's ......

Oh man !!

what do you do for living ??

your whole room is filled with these type of perpetual machines ...

but I just want to tell you( and I know people must have) that IT WON'T WORK !!

why don't you put your energy(and money) in building windmill or any green machine??..

my dear friend I am writing this because you seems brilliant ... and you are putting your efforts on wrong track ...believe me.. by adding more ramps to machine.. you are gonna add more friction..

[frank0067]

i was just thinking when you showed it diint move passed 1 oclock going up....to recut the grove to more of a helix circle contoured from the center to keep it fuid and keep pressure away... but i like to know how you get the weights up ... some kind of inner gear system?

[prestonstroud]

I have disassembled the Abeling Gravity Wheel so it is no longer available for testing.

If you have ideas for any gravity wheels that you want to discuss, please send me a private message. I will always evaluate an idea and if it looks promising, I am willing to build a test model.

[dadigitechman]

Hey, I have put Alot of thought into the gravity wheel and have a fairly frictionless design. I have to many projects on the go, are you interested in trying the idea out?

[Rotitomato]

I'ts obvious that once a weight hits the ramp, the ramp would act as a break. How to overcome this is the big question. At least you're not faking anything with your experiments, bedini and all. You deserve a lot of credits in my books.

[gconol]

I have to agree, wood is a terrible material to make anything that spins like a motor.

[valveman12]

This has been tried for centuries without success. It can't be done.

[mysql0]

@valveman12 People had tried to fly for centuries, therefore by your logic, the Wright Brothers could never have invented the airplane, and we don't have flying machines today. Therefore your logic of "Something can't be done if people have failed at it for centuries" is wrong, thus making your comment invalid.

[valveman12]

@mysql0 You obviously have no idea about Physics that are based on Natural Laws.

[MorskoyZmey]

Dude, your model is so close to mine.

But its too complicated.

PS

Wood is bad material about friction.

But if principle is workable, friction is nothing.

[lv0404]

Preston, dear man. Did you ever hear about friction? Where is the power coming from to overcome this energy loss without external force? It is amazing that you spent serious effort in these things. Get your calculator and draw some conclusions.... :-) How many Joules are lost in friction and where are these lost Joules regeined? Abeling is simply fooling the world saying that it worked for him...

[guruji243]

Try to increase more weight that overcomes friction it might work

[KirkMcLoren]

positioning mass fails due to symmetry. The energy to position it matches the energy extracted. A working wheel will not use this approach

[MrCamel43]

ok dont want to burst your bubble but you need to re-enginer this. first off your up and down geavitional forces are equal or close to it. Adding more friction with a second ramp will just inhibit its operation further. not to mention the friction caused by the centrifugalforce dosent help your design too.

[cris23dumi]

it has much too much friction

[MrBsbs]

awesome =) I cant understand why noone has made one that work yet(at least that we know of)... sounds so simple but guess not :)

[LegendaryThoughts]

Notice where the weight stops at in the top position.....Just cut off that little round spot that makes the top notch.The notch is not needed at the outer position if this is done.It would allow the weight to move where it already is wanting to.

[TheDavidshanker]

you need to perfect with only one weight

[jib1000]

Guess you flunked physics in high school huh?

[smde1]

You are really close to an very interesting mecahnical movement.

You need a pendulum that swings right at the point where you were moving the weights with your hand. Use a weighted axle to drive the pendulum sufficiently so that it will move the weight like you did with your hand and that might be very intersting to see.

[Godznrg4u]

Hey Preston, You are where I was 3 years ago. Dont bother with the horizontal ramp at the top. The problem is you lose the leverage from the arms when their on the ramp, and it takes quite a long run to get the leverage, Been there tried that...won't work. A lot of times it seems flawless on paper, but reality rears its ugly head. Good luck and God bless.

[jallaguri]

@Godznrg4u I believe it will not work on the paper. What you calculate on paper will very often miss a few critical issues. If the paper says that all the weights are mechanicly limited in altitude, you will never be able to calculate a working model on the paper - and definitely not in real life :-))

[jallaguri]

I cannot see the dissapointing part. The wheel itself prevents it to be a selfrunner because the difference in altitude for each weight in one revolution is limited to be the same all the time. The bottom line, you made a wheel that is preventing itself to run - like everyone else is, and has been doing during the past few hundred years. There will never be excess kinetic or potential energy as long the weights are limited to a given and constant change in altitude.

[User2718218]

@jallaguri You hit the nail right on the head. Each weight goes through the same up/down range no matter what. Without a frictionless wheel, which is impossible, it will stop running. Even in an ideal frictionless environment, you can't get any extra energy from it. The spinning wheel is charged once with rotational energy, presumably from someone's hand. There is no possible creation of energy.

[ABthehammer]

Greetings Preston

I see you are still hard at it and probably will be for life, but with different projects. Us tinkerers are like that you know. ;-))

[DrWhat2]

Thanks for sharing Preston. Nice work. A true inventor (eventually...!)

[BillPentode]

Super Great Work. Thank you for sharing.

Nice try keep on going. Thanks.
