NATHAN COPPEDGE--Perpetual Motion Theory Applied
How do my concepts theoretically overcome thermodynamical laws?
1. Rising and Free-Falling Buoys--Grav-Buoy 1 and 2
My first concept of the Rising and Free-Falling Buoys method (Grav-Buoy 1)
is a strong concept, but according to my calculations cannot overcome entry
resistance produced by large waterweight. Grav-Buoy (Iteration) 2, like grav-
buoy 1, makes use of a cumulative pull from practically the whole string of
buoys, meaning that it makes use of cumulative input. The problem of entry
resistance is drastically reduced through the use of a wide lower tank, which
distributes the weight of the water in the long and narrow upper tank.
(Grav-Buoy 1) Grav-Buoy 2 Crit
2. Fluid Leverage Wheel
This device makes use of tanks weighted by water in order to produce
leverage. A series of valves prevents water from leaking into the outer tanks
until after the triple feed tanks (at a lesser radius) rise to the top of the wheel.
Since it takes less energy to lift something at a lesser radius, the machine is
simply using the inherent energy of lifting more efficiently, through the use of
levers (which are meant to produce sufficient torque). Fluid Leverage Crit
3. Curving Rail Device
By using a semi-spiral ramp and vertical drop, it bears some resemblance to
concepts that make use of straight-sided triangular ramps. Although I am
somewhat skeptical of this idea myself, theoretically in this case the imbalance
could be sustained, since the full weight of the falling weights contribute to
pull, and rising weight is absolutely minimized. So long as the cumulative
falling weight remains greater than the force required to pull the rising weights
until the next weight falls, it seems as though it could be sustained.
Like the buoys concept, there is no resistance from the falling weights,
meaning that the entire pull of the falling weights can contribute to the cyclical
force. Deriving power from this device would be more difficult than in some
of the other cases, as there is no major wheel and the rails block access to the
weights somewhat. The path of the weights is also rather irregular,
complicating the use of pull cords as an application method. Rail Device Crit
4. Motive Mass Machine
This is a strictly unitary (modular) device, made up of a series of weighted
see-saws. Each is operated by a "difference weight" that can be moved to
alternate ends of a crescent or delta-shaped track, which is in turn mounted
over the pivoting portion of the see-saw.
I observed that a small weight applied at a short distance along the arm of a
pivoting see-saw does nothing, while the same weight applied proportionally
further can cause the entire thing to tilt. I supposed that the mass of the see-
saw may actually contribute to force, if the next difference weight is triggered
by pulley. Thus with the correct arrangement of pulleys, continous and
repeatable motion might take place at little initial cost (aside from
construction).
This is a rare case of extracting large and repeatable mass-movements through
the use of a small mass motion, and without electric power--what I call
Motive Mass. The track positioned in the center of each see-saw allows a
disambiguation--the difference weight only need be moved a little over half the
distance before it rolls the full length, thus improving efficiency and perhaps
making this device plausible. MMMachine Crit

5. Repeating Leverage Apparatus
This device takes advantage of the fact that weighted balls can roll a fair
distance horizontally without much change in vertical height. Thus they can
span the length of a lateral lever without losing much of the force associated
with height. The leverage force from that weight can then be utilized to force
one weight upwards slightly so that it repeats the process. This seems
especially plausible when we consider that the weight of the end of the lever
can be made equal to the weight of all the upwardly mobile weights, so that
the leverage from the single weight contends mostly with friction or the
minimum resistance necessary to keep the lever from self-activating.
