I, Mechanical Engineer. Inspired by Peter LIndemann.

[bugler]

I begin in October my final year at the university to become a mechanical engineer. In theory I will finish next June (9 subjects left + project).

After I learned about the 911 false flag operation I run into the free energy movement and, of course, into Peter Lindemann's work.
I saw Peter's videos and I read Secrets Of Cold Electricity and other books and I wanted to fully understand what I was reading so I finally decided to go back to university and become an engineer.

I can't claim much knowledge learned cause everything has been theoretical and many times badly explained, but I am much better than without it.

I plan, if I have energies left to study afterwards Electronic Engineering cause without electronic skills there is no way to do much. Fortunately university tuition fees in Spain are cheap (1000€ per year + another 500-1000€ for books and private lessons).

Thanks Peter for your inspiration and knowledge.

Mechanical Engineering

Thinking about mechanical engineering, I did a little web research about control systems engineering. I was thinking maybe I could find some materials related to controlling the energy stored in springs, magnets, pendulums, etc. Obviously this is not exactly the focus of most participants here on this forum. However, this is ultimately the correct field for what at least some of us are doing.

Interestingly, the modern discipline of control systems engineering is, according to Wikipedia, a relatively modern discipline having its roots in the early part of the twentieth century.

My comment: The Swiss clock-makers were controlling potential energy long long before that. Call it what you may!

When I first joined this forum I was pretty much satisfied that perpetual motion and free energy were next to impossible but an interesting something to investigate. It was simply highly improbable. Now, it is simply a challenge to arrange the mechanics and control the motion of masses with potential and kinetic energy. Once you see the picture as I see it, it will amaze you in its simplicity.

The problem, of course, is that until you see it, it is not simple. In fact, even after you see it, it is not completely simple, because the flow of energy and the control apparatus is not all that simple and straight-forward. Still, the basic principle is simple.

Everyone that thinks harmonic motion, resonant systems and related mechanical knowledge is what you need to focus on needs to pay attention here. You are correct! Simple mechanical skills are all you need.

I'm starting to collect materials to complete a prototype, but if there is an interest in my discovery, I will try to share everything here in this thread.

@bugler, unless you show up and tell me to go somewhere else, I am planning to camp on your thread. I hope, as a young person, you will show an interest in my epiphany.

One last word before I post this entry. I regard everything I reveal here to be prior knowledge going back to the Swiss watchmakers. Anyone knowledgeable in the mechanical engineering trade can easily understand and build these machines. There is nothing here that I am about to uncover that is a new or patentable invention. All these things have been invented by other people in past history and have been disclosed by them to government patent authorities and others. All such patents and government licenses have since then all expired or been buried in paperwork and bureaucratic archives. This goes back to the days of the early clock makers and has been hidden by a massive disinformation campaign.

I have no intent to try and patent any of this. I believe you will see the obviousness of this mechanical arrangement and easily duplicate it for yourself. When you do, you can try and patent it and waste your money or you can spend your time showing your working energy collecting device and prove the energy vendors to be the greedy cartel that they truly are.

Are you ready to see the light?

The pendulum

In college, I got straight A's in all my science classes. Beyond that, I don't want to make any claims. Just consider what I have to say on its own merits.

A pendulum seamlessly converts kinetic energy into potential energy and back again. Every child that has swung on a rope or played on a playground swing understands the principle of making it work. Shift your body at the moment of greatest potential energy and hold on because a lot of force is going to try to make you lose your grip and the moment of greatest kinetic energy.

So, here is the first strategy to implement in our build. Devise a pendulum and at the end of the pendulum construct a platform that maintains a horizontal orientation as the pendulum swings back and forth. Two sprockets and a chain will do the job. If the amount of slop in the sprocket and chain seems to be excessive, replace the arrangement with three gears. If the pendulum is long, the gears might be on the large size! Some bevel gears or other arrangement may occur to you. Keep the platform at a right angle to the gravity vector so objects on the platform may be moved around with minimal impact from the force of gravity.

You will want to move a mass back and forth on this platform using your control mechanism. If your controller is an Arduino or other microcontroller, you won't have to make your pendulum very long. If the period of the pendulum is even half a second, the controller will be responsive enough to do what needs to be done. I see not reason why a mechanical control mechanism would not work but you might want to scale up the build.

Construction notes:

Good mechanical design is necessary. The potential energy of a pendulum can be quite large.

Do some calculations. Please share some calculation on this thread. I am going to try and keep my suggestions vague and generic.

If the mass of the platform is 20 pounds mass and the center of gravity of the pendulum is 3 feet below the pivot, What is the period of the swing action? What is the difference in potential energy at the top and bottom of the swing? Ignore friction and air resistance losses. Assume the CG rises to a point level with the pivot on either side of the swing. What is the absolute velocity at its maximum at the bottom of the swing?

The spring

A spring seamlessly converts potential energy to kinetic energy and back again. This is only true if a whole bunch of criteria are met. For example, the resting position of the spring and configuration of the spring vs. the resting load must permit the mass to move in either direction. Then, also, the spring must still be "free" at the maximum deviation and the load must be commensurate with the design limits.

All this is mechanical design and I'd rather let mechanical engineers deal with it. Nonetheless, let's go with the thought.

Let's make the moveable mass on the platform about 50 percent of the total mass of the pendulum, moveable mass and any portion of the control mechanism that we need to attach to the pendulum. Let's also say we want the mass to move from one end of the platform to the other end of the platform rather quickly. We need to know how fast or how many microseconds we have to do this. If we had no control mechanism this number would be half the natural period of the mass and spring.

Now, we need to decide how much time we have available to move the mass on the platform. The speed of the pendulum varies. It would be great if we could move the mass quickly when the pendulum is at the top of the swing.

We need to pick a number. Let's say that we will allow 1-2 percent of the total period of the pendulum to move the mass at either extreme. So, the total time spent during one complete period for the pendulum will be 2-4 percent. This may not be exact for an early build, but it will give us a number to work with. We can use this number to compute the spring constant for the spring connected to the mass on the platform.

Ok, let's do some calculations. If the total mass of the pendulum and all its attachments is 25 pound mass and the period is 500 milliseconds, the mass on the platform would be 12.5 pounds and the period of the mass and spring combination would be 10 to 20 milliseconds. What would be the spring constant necessary to make the period 10 milliseconds? 20 milliseconds?

[wayne.ct]

The catch and release control system.

The control system will catch the mass on the platform in a high potential energy state with as much energy stored in the spring as is available in the mass and spring system. A simple ratcheting catch would work. An additional motive force would then pull the mass and stretch the spring a bit further to replace losses in the mass and spring system. A finished design would use this additional motive force to supply the initial energy to the system to mass and spring system to make the system self starting.

In addition to catching the mass, the control system will release the mass at the appropriate moment in the cycle.

Additional note added here: There will need to be two sets of these as will be clear below.

Design question:

Sketch the operational sequence of the machine as you visualize it in operation. Post your diagram for peer review.

Operational cycle

Four steps comprise the operational cycle.

Startup: Move the mass on the platform to the left extreme with the left catch mechanism active and holding the mass in place.

1. The pendulum swings to the right.

2. The natural period of the pendulum should be known by calculation or experiment. The controller has in its control logic a timer synchronized to the swing of the pendulum. The timer is set to expire a few milliseconds before the pendulum reaches its extreme position on the right. When the timer indicates the appropriate time has been reached, the catch mechanism to hold the mass in its right extreme is activated and the mass is released from its extreme left position. First the spring, then the on-platform motor, moves the mass attached to the spring to the right extreme.

3. The pendulum swings to the left.

4. Again, the natural period of the pendulum should be known by calculation or experiment. The controller has in its control logic a timer synchronized to the swing of the pendulum. The timer is set to expire a few milliseconds before the pendulum reaches its extreme position on the left. When the timer indicates the appropriate time has been reached, the catch mechanism to hold the mass in its left extreme is activated and the mass is released from its extreme right position. First the spring, then the on-platform motor, moves the mass attached to the spring to the left extreme.

The cycle repeats.

I had a post typed but disappeared
The pendulum is the same as a coil being induced by an alternating magnetic field.
Cut it off before the opposite reaction shows up.
And don't use steel cores , they are like sponges that absorb the magnetic field, yes they will enhance , but they don't let go fast enough.
The trick is when to interrupt the induction at the right time?
Just me doing tests , maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks for your suggestion

Hi Shylo, Thanks for your suggestion but I don't see the relationship. Nothing I have suggested has anything to do with coils, inductors or magnets. Also, I don't see how I can "cut off" the pendulum before the opposite reaction appears. The kinetic energy of the pendulum is going to raise the pendulum CG back up to whatever height is required to reduce the kinetic energy to zero, if possible. Now, if it goes all the way up to the 12 o'clock position it will no longer be a pendulum, will it? I don't really understand what the trick of inductance might be because I don't see the analogy. I am open to suggestions but I don't get it.

[wayne.ct]

Analysis

I would like to suggest an analytic approach to resolving the issue of energy in the suggested system. The problem is this: I am not 100 percent sure I know everything about this that I need to know to do it. So, I encourage real suggestions and criticism. With sincere apologies to Shylo, I don't really want poor logic and crooked analogies. Please give real help or leave the thread to someone else. Aside from the control system, this is a purely mechanical approach. I think Newton, Faraday and other experimental thinkers could give me some real help in correctly understanding this arrangement.

I think it makes sense to consider where the CG is located at various points in the cycle. The pendulum must at two points in the cycle reverse direction. At those two points the kinetic energy is zero and the total energy of the system is identical to the potential energy of the system. I want to refer to these two points in the future so let's give them names. Let's call the one on the left A and the one on the right B. We will probably confuse them from time to time but from left to right they are A and B.

In the ideal situation, the CG is instantaneously moved in the correct direction but parallel to the horizontal. This does not change the potential energy of the system but does change the CG. The CG is, in each case, moved further from the pivot. The catch and release system keeps the CG constant until the opposite extreme of the pendulum at which point the CG is again changed. Each change is a mirror image of the other. However, is there not some asymmetry? Let's examine this in detail.

We need to consider the mass of the pendulum as consisting of two masses. Let's call the mass of the entire pendulum assembly M. Let's call the mass of the pendulum minus the mass attached to the spring M1. The mass attached to the spring we can call M2. The spring and possibly other components move in some way but let's say that all such can be lumped into M1 and M2 and everything will work in theory. We will do this to simplify the model and accept the small error that may be introduced by the simplification.

I should probably also try to justify the instantaneous shifting of the mass between its two extremes. I do this by imagining that I have additional catch and release mechanisms on the pendulum itself. I catch the pendulum at positions A and B, move M2 and then release the pendulum. I'll account for the energy consumption of the control system separately.

Now, perhaps, we can match the theory to a general model of the machine. But, where do we start?

I am going to stick to word pictures but I need to draw a sketch so I'll continue this thought in another post.

[wayne.ct]

Time for some trigonometry

OK, I see I need to apply some trig. My sketch tells me that the larger M2 is in relationship to M1, the more energy I am going to get from the system. I also see that the more I displace M2 the better my results will be. So, we have a few more constraints.

I think I'm starting to see where this may break down.

Let's give a name to the midpoint between the two extremes locations of M2. Let's arrange the masses that make up M1 around this center point so that the CG of M1 coincides with this center point. Let's call this point C.

Let's say that M2 is equal in mass to M1. Let's call the pivot point P, and let's say that the distance from P to C is L. Let's say that when M2 at either extreme, the distance from C to M2 is 0.9 * L.

With that picture in mind, the CG will most of the time be halfway between C and M2. It will be either 0.45 * L to the left of C or 0.45 * L to the right of C.

Now when the center of mass M1 is passing directly below P, the CG has not yet passed directly below P. However, when M1 is directly below P the CG has already passed directly below P.

OK, now I'm stuck. I don't see how this can not work but I also don't see how to analyze this. I'm going to go away and think about this some more. But, if you would care to try and analyze this and share your results, please do it. On the other hand, I would still like to build this.
