Falling ball wheel with soft padding on one end

How Long Will Turn When Without The ball?

If people lived for 5 min then that would be fine. I hope he got farther on this project. Its a good start. Just change the simple config since the number of tubes disparate the energy way to fast. What about an odd number? There is also a little cheaper way of building called wood. Loved how well the vid was made. Most things where clear to see. No wires, or batteries to doubt its real operation. Cool beans bro!!

you are losing energy by sound and heat.

Padding will just stretch the force of the impact out over time, the net energy imparted by the impact isn't effected by the type of collision so long as the ball comes to a rest. You've just got another Bessler wheel, and as you can see they don't work.

It's clear u have no idea what an pulse/shock is compared to "smooth", read a bit about Tesla and his DC Pulses, you may change your mind

Alex, its simply a ball in a tube, gravity sends the ball back and forth as the wheel turns. soft impact on one side cushions the effect, a hard plate on the "drive" side, uses the impact to sustain momentum.

I too would be interested in seeing the run-time of the wheel without any balls.

What is the rotation time without any ball? I think its a good thing to compare the rotation with no ball so we have a base to compare the result.

Nice experiment btw

Very good, make I have instructions so I may try this?

Clear instructions would be benifit for everyone in terms of developement but also to help us understand more accurately the laws of our universe.
