Easy Gravity Wheel

Showing an Easy gravity wheel idea. When right pulley with load on right unbalance the wheel from the left pulley with load inside so makes it turn with the next coming pulley doing the same. This concept will work if build with ball bearings and toothed belts or sprockets.
Thanks

It doesn't matter what path you have your mass take. They will *always* have to travel the same distance up as they do down.

All energy gained by gravity will be immediately reclaimed by gravity. Friction will then step in to ensure everything is a net loss.

@luminaeus so in your statement you don't agree with mechanics. Many machines use counter weights to work. This is a gravity concept.

[guruji243]

@luminaeus if two people of different weight sits on a seasaw ; the heavier side will move to ground no matter distance to travel down or up.

tho a lot of ppl will say it wont work. but i can tell you why (with out spitting out physics) its because you are thinking of the center of spin being the axis.... but its not, the wieghts are traveling along a different center of G, if you draw it out, the wieghts will be traveling along a different circle off set down from the wheels axis. so there is no off set of wieght from the axis that the wieghts are traveling, so it wont "run" but keep it up something new may work!

@1crazyfocker yes you're saying well but as I said before what if another wheel is added to this with sliding weights and this would be it's mechanical gear.

@guruji243

Hooray, fat guy side goes down. Hooray, you gained some energy in the process.

Guess what? It'll take a greater amount of energy to get the fat guy back up to where he was before. Aww, fail.

@guruji243

You're confusing mechanics with magic.

It doesn't matter how many pulleys or counterweights or whatever you tack on to a wheel. The end result is a fixed, closed path that all the various masses must travel. Do the math, you'll find that the energy gained on the downward side is exactly the same energy lost on the upward side.

The closest thing to a gravity wheel is a plain wheel. It doesn't work, but without added friction it will spin longer than yours will.

@julias344 dude thats such a idiotic statment...

do you even KNOW what science IS??

[julias344]

No one can make a working gravity wheel because science won't allow it

[julias344]

No one can make a working

@guruji243 thats fine, i dont know everything. i just tend to agree with firefoxik75, "So build it with bearings and belts and prove that everyone else is wrong... " my best wishes to whoever can build a working model first.

@crazyfocker I still say that this the inner mechanics of a gravity wheel. If to those outside wheels a free hanging weight in another sliding wheel is attached it will work.
