Perpetual motion machine using gravitational force - uses group of weights supported between two discs with separate axes so that weights are held such that net forces are asymmetrical

摘要

Mechanical rotation is obtained from gravitational force, or alternatively buoyancy, using a group of equal weights (or floats) mounted between two vertical discs whose centres are vertically displaced (D). The weights are cuboid and mounted to discs by pivots (6) mounted one at one corner of the cuboid and the other mid-way down one side. This form of mounting causes the weights to be held outside the radius of the discs when on one side of the disc centre line and, when diametrically opposite, the weights are held inside the radius of the disc. The weights therefore exert a greater torque on the discs on the down side than the torque required to raise the discs in their upward travel, giving a net rotational torque. The appts. may also be made to function under constant pressure in a liquid.
