| Perpetual Motion Concept Utilizing Tracked Weights and Ball Bearings on a Fixed Support Structure COMPONENTS Weights: All weights have an equal mass, and are attached by T- frames to ball bearings or wheels supported by the Rail Structure. Rail Structure: A structure made of metal or other durable material serving as a guide for the (theoretically) cycling weights. It has two parts, one to either side of the upper and lower T-frame gaps. There are also two separate zones: one curving, supportive zone for the rising weights, and one vertical portion for the free-falling ones. A Pipe Encasement may be used over the rising portion to assure that the halves are not separated. Gaps would be present in the vertical portion to allow that energy be extracted from the machine. T-Frames: Frames attached on opposite ends of each weight, reducing the effective gravitational resistance on the rising cable by applying ball bearings or wheels to the Rail Structure. When combined with the curving ramps, the result is that approximately three fourths of the ramped weight is supported by durable, fixed elements. Ball-Bearings or Wheels: Elements attached to the T-frames of each weight, preferably in pairs, so that at least one rests on each side of the rail for every T-frame operating. They are designed to reduce friction and drag while placing the majority of the weight of the rising weights directly into the fixed Rail Structure. Cable: A cable with tension strength sufficient to withstand the full weight of the free-falling buoys—or chain links of equal strength—allow cumulative pull from the free-falling weights to contribute to pulling the rising weights up the slope. Support Structure: Most machines will require a vertical support structure to maintain the curvature of the Rail Structure, and keep the vertical portion from tilting.
