CloudSeeder Gravity Wheel on Fire, Process in 2-d:

I've got two hinges to put on it, very close to finishing. Here's a rough picture what I have so far from an end view. All arms are threaded rod. As it spins, the longer arm with the lighter weight is pulled into a higher orbit by the leverage of the heavier weight at the bottom.

Once I get the weights balanced correctly, as the longer arm passes 7 o'clock ccw the heavier weight being up top begins pushing down, reversing to pull the lighter weight up & in toward the hub for the ride up the right side; and so on round and round she goes. Total height about 32 inches.

The device, arms, backboard with eye screws used as threaded arm guides, all rotate with an extremely little friction. I don't guess this picture will be up to thread standards but if I happen to fall off some stupid scaffolding you'll have an idea what I was doing with leverage/centrifugal/weight and hmm, I guess you might call it an external or outer rim floating cam design:



The Guide Board called in the picture is the backboard that has an eye screw for each arm. It rotates on the dowel rod section of axle. It is shown at the side view so ya have to rotate it 90 degrees counter clockwise to have it behind the arms. The arms are strapped to a tiny nut coupling on the long end screw. It's quite frictionless also.

The counterweights aren't shown real good in the picture but they're to the left of the axle, hanging out to where they overcome the heavy arm pulling down. That raises the lighter long arm up... as it comes ccw past 12 o'clock... pulling the heavy weight in for the ride up.

Ah, the smell of less Energy War napalm in the morning.

Thinking about it too long could be hazardous to human health. I've got all but one hinge on, catching that tomorrow then start tweaking the weights til I get the balances right. I just don't want anyone looking into it too long. Might cause a stroke or sumthin'.

I made several construction mistakes, had to backtrack and do them over correctly. Otherwise I'd have finished it already. I used some liquid metal stuff on the arm axle (1 inch nut coupling that slid over the device main axle) and wanted it to have plenty time to harden before I went to messing with the arms & hinges. Then I noticed the whole arm setup was on backwards and would have been spinning clockwise had I left it that way.

hehe It looked so good when I put it on too.

Thanks for publishing the info, CloudSeeder
I like it.
You say "Total height about 32 inches".
Does this include the stand?
Any chance you amend the drawing, by indicating the approx. length of each section of the rods in the drawing? (I mean just the lengths you built it, before tuning/balancing the weights)
addition:
You will have to mount it on a very heavy stand in order to prevent it from toppling over during rotation, due to the eccentricity, won't you?

Construction Details for Floating Cam Gravity Wheel:

Two Systems Not Just One

The arrangement with the threaded rods is spinning on a nut coupling because it goes both directions => the nut coupling + arms reciprocates as one unit while the backboard~dowel rod axle system is spinning just one direction all the time (eventually, not initially, explained more below). This particular gravity wheel is a two-in-one system, a marriage of two.

Marxist: The actual total height is slightly less than 32 inches. I made it a bit extra tall to make sure the longest rod didn't come around and cut into the base board. The four pieces of threaded rod are => 5, 6 1/4, 8 and 11 1/4 inches. The nut coupling used for their support hub on the axle is 3/4 inch in length not 1 inch I think I wrote earlier. 1 inch would invite vibration.

The uprights: I bought some 3+ inch wide poplar board to make strong uprights but then I decided to use 5/8 inch dowel rods 18 inches tall... with several decent braces holding them to the board. I chose these small diameter rods so that when I make the video the device would not appear to be doing anything hidden by wide uprights.

You could avoid buying the 4 inch braces by using wider wood for uprights. As for needing strong uprights to control the eccentric forces nope. It's true you have two unequal shapes rotating opposite each other but their weights are all in a complimentary synergistic balance so it should not be throwing a lopsided energy outside the system. The energies being thrown are turning the back board by accessing the law of gravity pulling down HARDER the farther a weight gets from the axis and LESSER while closer in. This design looks wicked, I know, but it's an ultimate expression of dialectics, the unity of opposites, power without anger.

If excess vibration occurs that is evidence of inefficiency. There shouldn't be any violent vibrations, nor any nuts coming loose as the nuts are doubled with a lock washer in between to prevent movement. The wire I used through the hinges -and surrounding the threaded rods very tightly- could at high rpm's still possibly pull & vibrate themselves loose and go through stuff in their path. I wouldn't have it spinning in the direction of any windows. I don't expect mine to go that fast due to the poorly chosen rods being so heavy. Their extra weight should add extra inertia and slow it down.

Backboard ~ Dowel Rod Disconnected

I designed the backboard (3 1/2 x 16 lightweight oak) to spin freely -unattached to the dowel rod it spins on- in order to #1 show the device working and #2 find the sweet spot of all the device weights, rod lengths and so on. So the backboard is spinning disconnected from the dowel rod "axle" it spins on (with a dab of grease on the 5/8 center hole edges).

Backboard ~ Dowel Rod Connected

In "Real Life" you would want the backboard connected to the dowel rod, for driving a sprocket on the dowel. That would take energy out for driving a home power generator. Once we get the equation right ~the weights all chosen~ then all the weights can be increased by the same Factor to push a generator at whatever torque is needed to overcome generator hysteresis and friction resistances.

Axle construction parts order this picture, but
2-nut~locking washers~flat washer combinations
plus the metal sleeves inside the dowel are not shown:

That's the Basics for the 2008 Gravity Wheel

That's the basics. The nut coupler is over from the backboard a good ways, so the threaded rods are angled to where their weights are closer to the backboard. This is a good thing <> putting the center of gravity in between the rod assembly on the axle and the backboard. This should prevent wobbling. With better materials like lightweight alloy rods and a lighter backboard material this Gravity Wheel will only run that much better. I wish I could have found better hinges but the decorative brass was the best I could find. They seem to have a mind of their own, finding the angle they need to run. It isn't like they have any choice. The eye screws define them and the path they must take.

It was fun building it. I did so much bending & stooping around I strained my back
some so I'm typing instead of finishing it. But typing gets it into YOUR HANDS,
whichever ones wants to build it and improve on it.

We don't need Iraq crude oil.
We don't need Dubai crude oil.
We don't need Chavez crude oil.
We don't need Kuwaiti crude oil.
We don't need 1,000 new oil rigs off the coasts
or 500,000 windmills out in submarine open waters.
We don't need shale rock oil excavated out of Wyoming.
There is an algae being developed that makes better oil than crude oil.
Don't forget Okra. All the oil America uses can be home-grown replaced.
And when the wars stop the massive crude oil needs of the military stops.
That's where the oil hits the fan, the dominoes fall backwards & the toilet flushes upward.

IMHO. The Nations shall learn war no more.

Thanks Marxist:

@Marxist: Thanks for the good words!

Thanks for publishing the info, CloudSeeder

Hope the picture and dimensions put some wind in your sail. There's better ways & materials could be used I reckon but that starts the snowball down the hill... in the Sahara. I read some months ago about a system that spins and condenses water out of the air. Gravity could power that system for many people to have drinking water.

The anchor is up; now we'll see where it starts landing. My money's on you and Cloxxki, and SkyWatcher.

CloudSeeder, I dont frequently post this thread but I have enjoyed following it somewhat. But of late I find multiple postings from yourself regarding matters seemingly unrelated to the topic. In most forums this is often referred to as "spamming a thread".

I would ask that you condense and compose your posts somewhat, perhaps omitting subject matter that isnt directly related to the construction of a device and principles at play. Of course I can only ask, I have no authority here other than being a fellow patron of this service, and I do ask, because I am not accusing you of anything. I can see that you have put alot of thought into this, and perhaps someday you will have something to marvel at. So Im not here to B$#@h and moan, just requesting that you let this thread be shared by others and their ideas too.

I see you already have your own thread "on fire," perhaps this is a more appropriate section for some of your other insights.

Regards

[CloudSeeder]

That's a mouth full of comments Ren. The people who have read my posts have received many blessings. You did not. However, I'll see what I can do. I can solve future engines outside this thread and tell people how to solve cancer also outside this thread. So when they want to know these things they can come to you.

[ren]

I get my fair share of blessings Cloudseeder, though Ive yet to receive any from your comments. Perhaps I will re-read them and see if I can get something out of them. I can see I ruffled your feathers somewhat, which was not my intention. I simply wanted to address the importance of staying on topic, for the people involved and for those that may chance across this thread in the future. There is no tongue in cheek or sarcasm in my remarks, they are simple and genuine, without intent to mock or belittle. I make no claims to cures for cancer or future engines, I let my work do the talking of where Im at and have to offer. And since I am not following topic by discussing these matters I will cease posting in this thread unless it has something to do with the thread title.

If you have blessings to bestow upon the world for those who will listen then start the appropriate thread, for something like cancer cures you could post in the "Health, Fitness and Nutrition" sub section.

Regards.

[CloudSeeder]

Why didn't you just say you're pure as the driven snow then, instead of taking such as exhaustive way around the bush? You haven't encouraged me to search out your posts if these are examples.

I'll start a new thread in the future, not quite because you're ordering me to but because I decided to do so late yesterday. Thanks for taking time out of your day to explain to me why I'm so defective. hahahaha I think most people understand you perfectly without me making any comments.

[CloudSeeder]

My feathers stay ruffled friend Ren. They have been ruffled since 1989 when I saw how to design a system for getting electricity from induced magnetism off the point of a lightning bolt as it goes down a metal pole, without at all interfering with the lightning; simply by setting a large capacitive circuit parallel to the pole as it conducts 500,000 volts into the ground.

I have no doubt at all your life has many blessings, as do the lives of everyone in this thread quite without me. Spend a little time thinking about how regularly lightning-laden and lightning-spewing storms travel from west to east across the Gulf states. Recall the Maginot Line, then imagine vertical Maginot Lines of such towers linked together sending half this nation's electrical power into the Main Power Grid.

Yes, I'm "Off Topic" for mechanical engines according to Johann Bessler.
I am not however off topic for supplying our common needs for electricity.
So you think your life has been peachy without a lightning tower system?
Maybe it has and if so I am glad for you. But for 6,000,000,000 other people
it has been less peachy. I write and invent for them, not you 0.0025 percenters.

I'm about the business I have been assigned. Mensa people steer clear of me.

[Cloxxki]

I agree with Ren actually, most of your posts here are self-promoting spam.

If you come up with a mechanical enginge driven solely by gravity, you'll get huge credit for that. Your other inventions will need to prove themselve worthy any credit all by themselves.

I'd love to contribute to the FE community, but witht he drawings you've posted so far, I can do nothing. Don't begin to understand them, and any hints as to their meaning were likely be obscured by your self promoting ramblings.

What keeps you from concentrating the info and attention for this, your greatest invention ever?

That said:

To harvest drinking water from ambient air, do we not simply needs a big hole (duct) in the ground covered by plastic foil, and a bucket under its lowest points? 3rd world countries in need of drinking water usually seem to have plenty of infertile land to their disposal to set up lage-scale low-cost systems?

If there is a mechanical way to enhance condensation with a spinning device, I'll gladly help design a wind-, solar, or manually diven one from low-cost materials. 3rd world inhabitants tend to be most inventive in getting scrap materials to work for them, they'll build something cheaper and better themselves.

[CloudSeeder]

Well, that's kind of bad, but your lacking ability to understand plain English and then covering it up by blaming me is rather showing. It doesn't much matter if you can understand them or not though, not really not for you or Ren, because there are people in this world who understand them completely. They are the same people who stopped you from having my system of lightning towers in 1989 and a slue of golden harvest inventions since then, the people who want YOU PAYING THEM EVERY DAY YOU DRAW A BREATH. I could explain them exceedingly well and you still wouldn't get them. I could take a meat cleaver to my personal comments and you still wouldn't get them then either. I could draw pictures a BABY WOULD UNDERSTAND and you still wouldn't get them.

We live in a controlled world. As long as they can keep people from understanding all these new engines not just mine but all the rest of the guys here also, as long as they can hold out and stop all our great engines they think they can stop people from shouting PEACE AND SECURITY, thereby stopping Christ's Kingdom per the Bible scripture that says people have to proclaim it first.

Insult me all ya want dude, you are still screwed to the proverbial wall right beside the rest of us. Or haven't you ever wondered why so many great inventions can be shown all over YouTube and here on the Energetics Forum every shape, size and description, and yet we never get a one of em? Okay, so they let Kostoff through.

Big deal. One man allowed is just a giant carrot to keep dangling the rest of us hundreds perhaps thousands of great inventors over the lion pit. Or haven't you heard about the Truth Embargo? They are stopping a whole lot more than just UFO's. hahahaha As Bruce Willis says Welcome to th' Sewer Pal.

Quit whining at me and start praying; it's the only Hope this world has.

Tell me Your Plan Cloxxki:

I want to hear something out of you besides what I've heard so far. Tell me: When the people in control launch their Moon missions from all the new space agencies -that recently started into service in many tiny countries NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD EXPECT TO HAVE A "SPACE PROGRAM"- and they all catch a shuttle to the Moon and direct a powerful non-atmosphere-impeded laser down here at the Pacific rim ocean floor volcanoes to pulse-heat the Earth to explode, what'cha gonna do then mouth?

Once the Moon doesn't have Earth Gravity locking it in orbit they can propel their privileged Payees over to Mars. You have a helluva lot more stuff on your plate to think about than me.

We are all being set up. The reason I came here to show all my engine systems for FREE was to prove to my satisfaction my suspicions were correct.

Enjoy the flavored hemlock with the cutesy cellphone music.

[CloudSeeder]

Cellphones and iPods are little more than the trinkets they gave Indians for Manhattan. It's true what you said Cloxxki about my life story not being any more important than anyone else's UNLESS when I submitted the Lightning tower electricity system in 1989 I identified myself to them as someone they wanted to stop from inventing any further natural engines. You see, the last thing on EARTH they wanted at this time was another Martin Luther King martyr.

So sure, there's plenty of other people who have been over-prescribed meds that almost killed them and some that were killed. Am I any different? Only if they wanted to shut me up in a coffin with a mortician saying I died of the common cold, not that I died from doctors refusing me medical attention for 20 years. In early 2006 my lungs got so congested up it took emergency triage by a doctor who was filling in for my regular doctor.

I slipped through their net. And even then to make it through the night I had to beg a pharmacist for 15 minutes for a few pills to take me through that night. You have never lived with a target on you for decades have you? It has relevance. A mob contract on an inventor by doctors does have relevance.

Caucasians have a long history of wiping out whole civilizations. We're next. It can be a pulsed laser or a Hadron collider oopsie, doesn't matter. We are all marked men now buddy roe. Otherwise you'd be driving around in my mechanical heart-like engine running on air + steam I invented in 2003.

They'll have it on the Moon, and you won't. We're Indians now brother. Wanna come out and play? That's the line from Bulletproof Monk, the guy by now they think I am. I've gotten around some pretty long-lived assassins using a shared and very damning Patient Profile against me to warn off any new doctors I try from ever helping me.

I stopped going to doctors 3+ years ago. You don't want to walk in my shoes mister. Maybe we will meet one day before this manmade Armageddon is set in motion to look like the Bible Armageddon, with all the peoples of Earth praying to God to save them while they yuck it up riding a taxpayer funded spaceship to the Moon. You're right. I'm no more important than anyone else. But then again YOU'RE NO MORE IMPORTANT THAN ME and that's real bad for you.

We're all headed for the slice cheese department. Wanna ride? How about a web page listing these warnings and some engine designs they will have and nobody else per their plan: Real Time Right Now Energy no Big Batteries Needed PDF List for 2008 Warnings for End Times Watchers

Don't remember how to pray eh? Wow. Oh well, you have trinkets.
