ABOVE: Initial position in testing a composite design using balanced levers. Theoretically the sudden shift in weight could produce leverage. |
ABOVE: When the central difference weight for the left- hand unit is pushed towards the right, the first forked set of levers tips over, creating in this case less than the anticipated reaction in the right-hand unit, which has moved halfway, not enough to perpetuate the cycle. Note the string. |
ABOVE: A more detailed view of the right hand unit as it should be if the device worked. Note that while this design makes use of a support for the difference weight that is not attached to the forked levers (thus preventing the difference weight from entirely encumbering the device) the difference weight in this case does not roll, and its weight only contributes an initial push, rather than providing gravity force through the entire shift. It would be interesting to combine the forked lever design with a rolling difference weight concept, but I have had some difficulty in building any design with rolling difference weights with the materials that are available to me at present. |
