Harvesting gravity 2
Please see my initial idea titled “Harvesting Gravity 1” or read below. Some have scoffed at me saying that with the addition of the extra weight and mass plus the driven load, that now the system requires expending more than twice the amount of energy on the upward side of rotation in order to complete one full rotation and that no energy is actually gained. Saying to me that it is now required to use even more energy than before it began. I believe that argument is incorrect, because if you refer to the provided diagram, when the imbalanced pendulum weight and mass is put into motion starting at point “A” for instance, that without any electrical energy applied and the rotor is able to move freely on the rotational shaft, it will drop and swing to a point opposite and slightly less than the initial drop, otherwise point “B”. Again, if it is allowed to freely move, the unbalanced pendulum attached on the rotor would swing back and forth from one side and then back to the other side, loosing energy from all sources of loss until finally stopping at the lowest position or point “C”. So in truth, when a pendulum weight is placed in motion from point “A” it will in fact swing, and the only true actual energy added will be that what is required to continue the unbalanced rotor motion from point “B” to beyond point “D” to begin another cycle of an input of gravity. In other words, by disconnecting the motor electrical propelling power at point “D” and applying power again at point “C” would still be adding extra unnecessary energy and yet still produce rotation with the use of gravity. It is O.K. to be wrong, and it’s O.K. to be right, but if you happen to be right, nobody believes you. Thank you so much for reading my idea.

Harvesting gravity 1
Through my studies of science, I have learned that gravity is in fact, a conservative force. So, why not utilize this abundant “conservative” force to “conserve” on our electric bills and use it to stretch out and to prolong our Earth’s natural resources that are now dwindling? Since it seems I cannot get anyone to listen to what I have to share with my prototypes and with the demonstrations of my linear magnetic propulsion inventions and magnetic propulsion motor designs, I want to freely give this design away to anyone with the courage to listen. So how do you harvest gravity? You cannot simply build a hydroelectric dam in your backyard or in your home that can harvest from the weight and mass of a large body of water, otherwise referred to as free energy, or can you? What would you say if I told you that there is truly a way to harvest gravity with many common commercial electrical motors built today? First, you must determine the size of the rotational motor and its rotational foot-pounds of torque output. Then, you must know how much rotational foot-pounds of torque that is required to drive the attached load. Next, you securely affix a pendulum like weight to the driveshaft of the horizontally (Securely, as it will be subject to vibration) mounted motor - Not vertically- a pendulum like weight that has a weight and mass that exceeds the weight of foot-pounds of torque of the driven load by a margin, but that does not exceed the maximum load of the motor being used. Next, set the motor with a pulse circuit control or simply use a limit switch to turn off the motor with the pendulum like weight at the top most point of rotation and a limit switch to turn the motor on with the pendulum like weight at the bottom most point of rotation. With this design, if you would please, envision a simple teeter-totter or a see-saw at a child’s park, and recall that it is always the heavy child that does all of the work. Please note that this will only work for low RPM devices, as the faster the rotation becomes, the less the gravity assist becomes and the more centrifugal force will override this effect. What you truly have is a motor that harvests gravity on the downhill slope, and turns on and only utilizes electrical current on the uphill slope (be sure to calculate for in-rush current with properly sized heaters), operating on electrical energy for only half of the rotation, utilizing potentially half of the energy than before. To verify and validate this design, simply use two identical variable speed motors, connect both to identical loads with only one utilizing the counterweighted pendulum and pulse or “off-on” interruption circuit. Place both motors at the same RPM setting and place a wattmeter on both circuits; what I believe you will see is that the gravity assisted motor does in fact use less energy to operate, it is truly harvesting gravity and the energy consumption is now basically the force required to rotate the difference of the driven load and the ballasted pendulum weight, on only half of the rotation cycle. If my permanent magnet motor designs cannot help change the world and make this a better place, maybe someone out there that has more resources than this enlisted man does, maybe they will eventually read this and make that change for me, for my children, for everyone. I believe that the Creator of our world truly gave us everything that we ever needed. Harvest gravity. It is free and abundant, and unless you plan on leaving planet earth, it is everywhere - day and night. Thank you for reading this, and I apologize if I did not know that it wasn’t possible, nobody has proven it otherwise.
