Second look, it is 2 centrifugal actions not 4. But the fluid motion compared to Milkovic's is an nice improvement.

I sure would like to no more details on this device

@Yourfishman Ask away......Open source here. I had a serious case of burn out on this though I'm getting back in and have some improvements. I'll have a much better generating means using rear bike wheels on both sides as rotors. I lose way too much  energy in gear lash with the current setup but it demonstrates the potential.

Perhaps deeper study of both Milkovic and Finsrud's work will help guide your research.

Hello Techstuf. Your recommendation is fully noted and in fact Milkovic inspired me to move on this Idea that I had let go disbelieving the possibilities. The Finisrud device is something else altogether as I see it but could possibly provide some value. Thanks for the comment TS

Look at my magnetic pulse motor with magnetic pendulum effect. This can give 40% more kinetic energy with stator magnets.

This is good - all you need now is a hanging weight to provide a continuous power source and a rewinding mecahnism - and I think that you will something very useful -

Please check out my facebook page "Gravity, Escapements, Getting Off the Grid".

I think i see a way to slightly improve your device. I dont know how much room you have, but If it is possible you might want to turn the weights perpendicular to their current placement. I believe you will get better useable centrifugal force if you do. I believe your centrifugal force / center of gravity is lagging in your config. if the weights were horazontal i think your side to side force will be greater. Just a thought : )

@1quasar1

Cool, glad to hear you are going at this some more. My questions really has to do with the build and your components. It is hard to tell how you built it, and what you are using to generate your current? I guess it is galvanized steal pipe etc?

It would be cool to see a close up on how you built it. It is really a great design. I design one that used cables instead of the lever. It also had a 2 part pendulum. I do like your better than the lever.

@1quasar1

Your two stage pendulum is fantastic. I love that you are getting four osculations per cycle.

it looks like a good trade off, 4 smaller centrifugal actions than 2 slightly larger centrifugal actions. i see a whole lot of potential here.

I'm puzzled that you only have 2 videos on this device.

Have you gone any further with this?

im looking for a very old boat powered by a inertia drive devise., i cant find it and suspect it has been covered up. i need help finding it thanks.

[Techstuf]

Quite welcome. There is much to be learned regarding force over time dynamics, as both Finsrud and Milkovic models demonstrate. That their swing periods can be so far apart, yet each contribute in positive fashion, says alot.
