Continuous Motion

I have now come to the conclusion that any effort of any mechanism that does not add to the mechanism is very Bad. While this seems to be simple ........... it is not. If your wheel rotates freely, and you place a uniform number of weights on its perimeter the number of rotations is quite large. If you place your best thought out mechanisms in place and it rotates a lesser amount then you have taken away not added. So any action that is reducing the effort is BAD. To that end the only logical solution is not to take away any positive action. Well....... what is a positive action? Any action which contributes to the continued rotations. This being said, it is logical to assume that a single mechanism should be able to make the wheel rotate on its own, and when you add more of them in a harmony then they will benefit the whole. If there is not enough energy generated in a single mechanism to keep the rotation, then the addition of more of these thieves only slow it down quicker. There is a logical use of mass. To accelerate the mass and capture the increased energy to the mechanism. This Mass Acceleration Capture Device or MAC D is the logical conclusion to all. Do not allow the mechanism to waste any of the energy.

2010 The years of years

This time of a New Year always sets the stage for our creativity to come forth, and I am at this time busily involved in my latest wheel. The individual pieces for 8 major components is always a daunting task. To make sure that each piece is identical to the previous and not have any mistakes does test your discipline for sure. I make lots of progress over the New Years Holiday time and will keep on the journey as quickly as I can. There does seem to be a re-occuring theme for me and that is this......It is so simple that no one will want to pay me for it once they see how it works. In one of my early trials from Das Triumphant, I came so very close to a continuous movement that I have to come back to that test again. The simplicity of its movement and the overall feel was just felt right, but I was not able to see the other side. I believe now that first attempt was very very close, and by providing a little bit more space for the falling weight to do its work, the goal can be achieved. We are always hopeful that this is the one, and the death of hydrocarbons will finally be on the horizon
