NATHAN COPPEDGE--Perpetual Motion Concepts
NOTE and CAUTION on my diagrams in general:
All my diagrams were necessarily made at a time when I was
certain they would work. If I were not certain that they had value
of one kind or another, I would not have made them.
Because the purpose of the diagrams is, as I see it, to perpetuate
the dream of their specific instance, I can do no more than
apologize for the imperative language I inevitably use. The
imperative tone is meant to pursuade the reader not that the
concept works, but that it MIGHT work, in the broad and general
sense that perpetual motion as a whole MIGHT be possible.

Leverage

ABOVE: Type 4: A simple design using a crescent
assist bar to partially support one of two weights
on the upward slope

ABOVE: Type 5: Coquette lever device
What would seem more dubious has excellent
properties of example; Here the upper portion
applies added leverage moving leftwards and not
rightwards; the Coquette-like design is a way of
accomodating subtle vertical shifts ::
