Thread 7. Links to Free Wheel Documents.

2010-08-23T15:00:00.005+03:00

I have placed all necessary information about the Freewheel in different documents contained in the links below. The Documents include:

1. Picture images of an already constructed experimental prototype revealing the mechanisms used to achieve the described operations of the wheel.
2. Diagrams used for analysis.
3. Detailed Theoretical and Mathematical analysis of the wheel.

As a guide, one will need to use the 'FW drawings' document together with the 'Freewheel Analysis 2' documents as they go together. The images give a practical Free wheel and are well described and explained in the 'Freewheel parts(images) description' document.
These links can be copy-pasted onto the address window of your browser and the download page will emerge.

I have noticed the problem with the file links I gave previously. Sorry for all affected by this. I have removed the files from that particular server and placed them in another one. This time there are no hassles. The links may be copy-pasted onto the address window of your browser if they don't work automatically.

Thread 5. Introducing The Free Wheel.

2010-07-11T15:00:00.005+03:00

I have been working on later designs of my machine and I now consider it okay to reveal some of the inner workings of my wheel.
The machine is named the Free Wheel. I would first talk about the principle which was used to attain perpetual motion.
The principle involves mechanical separation of the clockwise moment and anti-clockwise moments on a wheel structure. The principle piece for this is a cross-shaped structure which separates the two moments so that the anticlockwise moment acts on the vertical plane and the clockwise moment acts on the horizontal plane. This is achieved by joining two beam balances at the center to form the cross-shaped structure. At the end of each of the four ends, a lever is joined in such a way as to allow rotation in the horizontal plane. A system of gears is used to ensure that as the wheel rotates in the vertical plane, the levers joined at the ends of the beams rotate in the horizontal plane and at the same angular velocity as the wheel itself. Weights are then attached to these levers.
This can be sketched as shown in Diagram 1, on thread 6.

The structure has achieved the following:

a. As the wheel rotates, the weights attached to the levers also rotate but at a plane which is 90 degrees to the wheels plane of rotation.
b. The weights perpendicular distance from the wheel's central point of rotation keeps on changing. Considering a weight at the far-left side of the wheel, its beginning position has the maximum perpendicular distance for the pivot. It then moves with the wheels rotation reaching a minimum( closest to the pivot) when the wheel has gone through 180 degrees of rotation and going back to its maximum distance away after a complete turn.
c. Considering also a weight from a starting far-left position, its effect on the whole structure is felt as a direct force with an effective perpendicular distance of the beam's length (R)plus the lever's length (r) because the joint between the lever and beam(fulcrum s) is 'stiff' when the beam is in a complete horizontal position. However as the wheel rotates and the beam begins to go downwards, this joint looses 'stiffness' gradually so that the weight's effect on the wheel decreases to only the lever's length (r) after 90 degrees of rotation. At this juncture, the force of the weight is downwards, but it 'pedals' the wheel in the opposite direction(clockwise) through the system of gears. In this way weight on the horizontal beam has an 'imbalance' effect on the wheel but a weight on the vertical beam has a 'pedaling' effect on the wheel.

A closer study will reveal that the total imbalance effect of all weights mounted on the wheel is equal, but opposite in effect to the total 'pedaling' effect of all weights on the wheel.In this way the wheel is balanced. In essence, the net imbalance force is at a maximum when the beam is horizontal and reduces to zero when the beam is vertical. On the other hand, the pedaling force is at a maximum when the beam is in the horizontal position and at zero when the beam is in the horizontal position. When any of the beams is inclined at 45 degrees, both the pedal and imbalance forces reduce by a half and are equal.
It is good to note through all this, that the pedal force causes clockwise moment on the whole wheel structure and the imbalance force causes anti-clockwise.
As such the wheel has attained successfully separation of the two moments along the vertical and the horizontal planes of the wheel.
I will try to place explanatory diagrams on this blog to bring a clear picture.
For those who are new to this site, it would be helpful to read all of the previous posts on this blog.

Thread 4. Overcoming The Major Hurdle

2009-11-24T14:46:00.002+03:00

A common approach of attaining perpetual motion has been to make a mechanism whereby weights mounted on a wheel are made to draw closer to the main axis of rotation when ascending and further from the same axis when descending. This creates imbalance by the fact that weights further from the axis have a greater force of moment than those closer to the axis.
But a mechanism which causes weights to do this without 'outside help' always ends up achieving another fete which cancels out the gains caused by the unequal positioning of the weights. A look at many perpetual motion wheel designs will show that if weights are made to come closer to the axis, they also end up being more in number than those which are further from the axis and thus balancing the wheel. So the wheel from a first look seems to be unbalanced but a closer look reveals that it is balanced. The examples on this link below show this:
http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/museum/overbal.htm

That one day a perpetual motion wheel which beats science will be built, I am not in a position to tell. Kudos to whoever does this.This is not what I attempted.
You don't have to build a house to live in one! You can rent it.In previous perpetual motion attempts we have seen it has not been possible to create(build) power. This however, doesn't mean we can't attain perpetual motion. We can make use of some 'outside help' provided that this help is within the mechanism of the machine. What we are interested in is a device capable of rotating without the need of outside energy supply.
We therefore need to create an inbuilt mechanism which provides the power.

A good way of achieving this follows the following three steps:

1. Lets take note that a usual wheel will traditionally be balanced with the clockwise moment equal to the anti-clockwise moment. Usually also, if weights are mounted on the wheel, generally those on the left hand side of the axis of rotation will be responsible for the anticlockwise moment while those on the right hand side responsible for the clockwise moment.
After failing to design a usual wheel which has one of the moments greater than the other, I tried designing a wheel which dis obeys this tradition so that the clockwise moment is not caused by the weights placed on the right hand side and the anticlockwise moment by the weights placed on the left hand side. But rather, the clockwise moment was caused by weights placed on the vertical plane of the wheel and the anticlockwise moment caused by the weights placed on the horizontal plane.

2. Create a mechanism with two sets of weights whereby even as the wheel rotates, this fete is not lost.So that at any one time the weights on the vertical plane oppose the motion while those on the horizontal plane support the motion.

3. Such a wheel will still be balanced -as we've seen it seems not possible (as of now) to attain imbalance from the weights alone. If such a wheel attains constant imbalance, then energy will have been created, and this will not be scientifically sound.
However, this arrangement gives an opportunity to invlove some 'outside help' in producing the motion. The 'outside help' comes in that it is practical to create a means of neutralizing the weights on the vertical plane and reduce the clockwise moment without affecting the anticlockwise moment. One way is by the use of water and using weights; which have their density equal to that of water, on the wheel. This is because the weights on the vertical plane tend to occupy the highest and lowest positions on the wheel. If the wheel is partially immersed in water so that the weights on the lower side are in the water, then the clockwise moment will be reduced.
So long as all the weights mounted on the wheel exercise their force on the wheel,it remains balanced. However when the weights responsible for the clockwise moment are immersed in water, the wheel attains imbalance and the force of imbalance-which drives the wheel - will be equal to the total force of the weights immersed less the water resistance and other factors such as friction.
Consider, if an object with its density equal to water is placed in water, the force required to move it around in water is much less than the force required to lift it up in the air.One man,for instance, can push a half tone (500kg) boat or submarine when it is in water (provided he has a place to stand on), but cannot lift it up in the air!The difference of the force required to push the boat or submarine and the force required to lift the boat is significant. It is such a difference which causes motion in my wheel. It is adequate to overcome the various resistances and for economical use.
The wheel will always be having some extra force working in the anticlockwise moment than in the clockwise moment, thus perpetual motion is attained.

I seek credible people or organizations who will be willing to help me bring this revolutionary device into the market.

Thread 3. Common Mistakes and Wrong Assumption

2009-11-20T12:11:00.001+03:00

As I have been looking at most of the perpetual motion devices listed on the internet, I saw some of the mistakes I had done during my research and experimenting years as I sought perpetual motion. Most of these designs; like my previous ones, have flows- they are attempts which seek to contradict known thermodynamics, gravitational or motion laws.Without going into the details of these laws, I would generally state that we should not expect to develop a PM machine if we cannot find a way to provide enough energy to run the device. The mechanism to provide this energy has also to be contained within the device's mechanism and not from an external source. This leads me to point out what appears to me as the main mistakes done by most of our predecessors. I call the first mistake the 'push yourself' mechanism.

1. 'Push yourself' mechanism: This mistake is made by most of those who believe in perpetual motion. let me explain this analogy; you can apply force by your hands onto somebody else and push the person, but you cannot apply force by your own hand onto your own back to push yourself. In the same way a wheel cannot raise some weights or fluid by its own rotation- however easy the path of the weight or fluid looks and then be driven by these same weights/fluid going down. This would be in complete contradiction to gravitational laws of potential and kinetic energy. The machine I am talking about is driven by the force of gravity working on eight or more weights. If it is also to obey gravitational laws then there has to be an extra force to assist the weights on their way up apart from the wheel's own rotation.If the machine is to obey thermodynamics laws, the energy input must exceed the energy output.
The secret of perpetual motion lies in finding this mechanism which is able to tap into gravitational force and provide the required energy. The other main mistake is a wrong assumption made mostly by those who do not believe in perpetual motion.

2. That since energy is required to attain motion in a wheel, then it must be provided from an 'external' source. In a way this statement is correct as the term 'external source' is relative. Majority of those who do not believe in perpetual motion have purposely ruled out Gravity as one of the external energy supplies. More precisely Direct Gravitational force. Many have stopped viewing the gravitaional force as an energy source but only view it from a perspective of what they have seen it do. Because all we have seen is weights falling under the influence of gravity, the mental picture of gravity we get is 'falling weights'. People have no problem understanding how it can be tapped indirectly such as water falling freely under the influence of gravity but most will not imagine it would be possible to tap from the energy directly and with a mechanism that is not a 'push yourself' mechanism. This has in fact lead to a wrong perception of perpetual motion machine so that many scientists quickly jump to the conclusion that a perpetual motion machine must break the known scientific laws and become skeptical of such a claim.
It is important to first view the gravitational force as an energy source just like any other. Even when we cannot figure out how to tap into it, it still is an energy source-in fact one of the four main fundamental forces and it is possible to tap into it directly.

Thread 2. Comming into Common Understanding.

2009-11-19T15:50:00.001+03:00

I think it is first important to come into a common understanding as to what we are looking for. The term perpetual motion may mean different things to different people.
In the context of this site, the perpetual motion definition we would go for is what is given in the Compact English Dictionary:

perpetual motion

• noun the motion of a hypothetical machine which, once activated, would run forever unless subject to an external force or to wear.

I believe that all those who have been trying to come up with such a device have aimed at designing a device which can run/rotate forever unless subject to an external force or to wear.

Any device that rotates constantly losses energy due to friction as well as air resistance or other respective resistance given by the medium within which it is placed. If a perpetual motion device is designed to produce power for economical use, the challenge is greater: it has to produce enough to overcome friction and all other associated resistances, more power to enable conversion into electrical power as well as retain enough power to run itself.

The perpetual motion device which we are interested in is one that satisfies all these conditions.

Thread 1. Is perpetual motion possible?

2009-11-17T17:20:00.001+03:00

The search for a perpetual motion device has been a very controversial subject for years. There have been claims of inventions made but to date it has not yet been disclosed the secret for such a device - at least at the level of an industrial product. Ever since the claims by the legendary Johann Bessler about three hundred years ago and the demonstration of his perpetual motion wheel people have been split as to whether such claims were true or false.
There are those who believe Johann Bessler was a genuine inventor who truly unraveled the mystery behind perpetual motion while some others believe he was a fraud.
Well, I personally believe perpetual motion is possible.
It is with this in mind that I have chosen to put up my own blog to give sound argument and scientific prove that perpetual motion is not only possible, but also with all the effort by scientists and enthusiasts, we are on the verge of unraveling this great mystery.
I invite views from all interested in this topic, those who believe in it and those who don't. I will gradually display some of my personal findings after more than ten years of research and experiments into this subject and show why perpetual motion is achievable.
All are welcome.
