Building escapement towers for 2 stage oscillator #1

[electrician725]

Bar joists may not be stiff enough, but it seems weight is not a problem with this device, so gussets would be an easy fix! GOOD LUCK RAY, can't wait for next video :D

Thank you Rob, for all the positive coments on this & my other videos.

You are correct about the bar joists. They are not stiff enough for frame work for this device. They serve no use in making the machine stronger.

However , There were 3 reasons for useing them.

1; Without the extra weight the 145 pound pendulum @ 2 meters "WOULD" turn over the main frame work (960 pounds).

2 ; They are mainly to hold the escapements at the right highth.

3 ; I use what I have on hand.

Thanks again

I See, much more to come!

Recycling is best, and you can always make it stronger with a few well placed triangulated members, ever see a race car cage? I'm sure you have, so think along those lines. You probably already are, Ray!

Dear friend, congratulations on the experiment. Simple and functional! I follow this subject two years ago ... Whereas a double oscillator with equal arms and cargo and also pendulums have equal weight in the system in balance ... Gravity acts on both sides of the lever, the neutralizing itself ... Thus, with a light touch on the side of the pendulum, WITHOUT moving it, deslocarmeos easily the "great" weight loading ... I will send you a complete text by email... Congratulations!!!

Wow Ray! I thought I had put a lot of work in on my project. Cant wait to see your results. Thanks

Dear Ray,

I just received this email,... FYI.

It say oscilation cause rotation. Interesting.

Who really designed the pendulum oscillator that Milkovic has claimed to be his invention?

While I am among those who admire the work that Milkovic and his associates have put into the development of the Two-Stage Mechanical Oscillator, I have encountered a documentation that the said invention has already been invented an has been in use around a century before Milkovic invented it...

nice work :)

Thanks

Great work there !!!

I admire your determination.

I too belive in the pendulum. Keep going, cant wait to see it in action.

[RHEAD100]

Thanks;

I checked out your site. You don't have any videos of any work you have done on the oscillator. Most people don't realize how easy it is to ckeck out.

The pendulum dose not have to travle inline with the power bar. It can tarvle perpindickuler to it. This means you can use a childs back yard swing-set. Or even a tree branch.

Great work, Raymond! andrea

It won't take long for you to determine the best moment to move the fulcrum with minimum work required. It may take a few tries to work out the distance which the fulcrum may be displaced for optimum efficiency.

See you in the funny papers,

Raymond, I like your style. You don't let assumptions get in the way of facts.

You didn't hear this from me, but mounting your pendulum's pivot point on a small, well lubricated trolley can improve your situation considerably. As your pendulum weight reaches it's zenith at each swing, the trolley can be moved in the 'opposite' direction for a well timed, though nominal 'investment'. One that is more than paid each time your 'stock' hits the bottom.

Good day and God bless,

Thanks Techstuf; I will deffanetly give that some concideration.

[WarzSchoolchild]

Techstuf's idea could be made with regular angle iron. incorporating a few Neo-Magnets in repulsion mode, 145 lbs would only require thin magnets. and have the angle iron tracks as two 'V' sections. frictionless. A self runner, would be a work of art! Go-4-It...BRAVO!

I'm working on Rodin coils at the moment :-)

[MarkTwist2]

Did you think on something like this? Search for "inverted pendulum" on youtube.

[Techstuf]

Yes, however what is not readily apparent in the youtube vids, is that well timed, lateral pulsatory input from the trolley can maintain the pendulaic action quite efficiently.

[Nabo00o]

Milkovic will be really proud when he sees this ; )

And absolutely, that's huge!

what is it going to do?
