Motive Mass Machine: A Perpetual Motion Machine Concept Using See-Saws and a “Difference Weight” Applied to Alternating Sides by Various Methods-- EXPERIMENTATION PHOTOS PART 1 PART 2 PART 3 PART 4 PART 5 PART 6 PART 7 |
Principled Asymmetry Type 2: Theoretically the leverage arms with the blue-purple attachments would be thrown forward at the point where the counter-balance arms with the yellow attachments equalize the difference arm depicted in the lower right. The result--I hoped--would be a net gain on the horizontally disposed nature of the original wheel. Note that the leverage arms balance one another preceding and following the point where one is thrown downward. The motion of the difference arm is meant to counterbalance not only weight of the counterbalance arms, but also the weight of the opposite leverage arm, for the split second when the nearer leverage arm no longer counterbalances it. |

Note that as with the previous Principled Asymmetry, the device is certainly not perpetual, unless there is a means to attach it to a motor and somehow extract energy through its efficiency in rotation. Although I am not absolutely sure, it seems that with certain configurations of weight/attachments this device rotates more easily in one direction than the other. As far as I know, that is without precedent, if it is true (with the exception of ratcheted devices or others that intentionally impose friction in one direction or another).--2/4/07 For more on my theory about principled asymmetry, refer to: Principled Asymmetry as an Over-Unity Device |
A sideview detailing the same construction at the point immediately after one of the leverage arms falls. A spacer between each leverage arm and the rearmost rotating bar causes the arm to be thrown forward when the original principled asymmetry device is in a horizontal position. |
