How does the Tilt Motor compare to traditional attempts at a perpetual wheel? The simplest and most overused attempts at a perpetual wheel are vertically disposed so that weights must be lifted through a vertical axis and dropped through an equal and opposite motion. Since the energy used to lift the weights is equal to the energy provided by dropping them, all the energy within the system must be added from the outside. I have been theorizing that the case may be different with certain forms of a horizontal wheel using leverage to create a continuous slope. What principles theoretically create perpetual motion with the Tilt Motor design? While I have built no working model, crude experimentation seems to indicate that the weight of a rolling object is sufficient to tilt the surface upon which it rolls, especially through leverage backwards underneath a previous rolling surface, something I have thought may approximate a "double lever", i.e.the leverage is used to lift a point that is not underneath the surface, so that the movements of the rolling object are especially fluid. By using metal "feet" above a circuit of eight levers surrounding a tilting track, so long as leverage is sufficient to create tilt it may be possible to extend the slope, so that it may be seen that the action of rolling is not as directly related to loss of height as it is to the tilt of the surface beneath the object. For a more detailed explanation of the operation of the design, see my primary description of the Tilt Motor or the Diagrams page. You may also view my initial experiment at Experiments. RETURN TO N.
