Did you know that in Hamel's book, it mentions that he built an
operating
device that used falling weights, but with no magnets? Three stacked
cones,made of plywood about 4 or 6 foot in diameter, each with a
circular
groove around the top. In each groove rode a bowling ball. To start it
going, the cones were tipped by hand. As they tipped, the balls would
roll
around, constantly keeping the cones off balance. Hamel referred to the
path made by the 3 wobbling cones as forming an "isotope line". The
cones
are kept moving by being continually off balance, trying to achieve
equilibrium, but never finding it.
I found this very intersting as it fits perfectly with what Mr.Hamel has
been saying about one of the primary principals of his devices. WEIGHT
INTO SPEED! Do you see it now! I can visuallize the thing running, it is
most intersting. It brings up an intersting question about the device. I
think everyone thought that magnets were what made it move. Judging by
this it may be more of a gravity inbalance. The magnets are a secondary
effect prehaps. It is them which produce the free energy and
anti-gravity, and what-not.
What I am try to say is that this could be built, and althought
it
won't make weird effects and stuff it would spin perpetually. This would
certainly be very cool, and then mabey we could add the magnets later to
get the weird effects. Small scale version aren't suppost to work of the
Hamel device with magnets. Hamel himself has told us this, but the cone
motor works differently and probably can be scaled. Also a combination
of these devices would work. For now I am attemping to build a smaller
version of this bowling ball machine. By taking away the magnets you
take away like 98% of the cost of build a machine so a big one is not
impossible. I myself am building small (with in 6" of pipe as max size)
An when I get something working I will post results and instruction for
recreation on the internet. As for now Good Luck anyone who is intersted
in this, please share your finding with us all. Also if anyone has
anymore info on this device, send it to me (post it here too) and we
will see what gets going (pun)!
Things I have discovered so far;
-Wobble space so be fairly small so cones don't get jammed in the pipe
and get hard to move, the cones should be able to roll around in the
tube VERY easily.
-Marble or ball bearings and other rolling weights should be farily
light as well, or things will not move (as you lose the broken line)
Best of luck,
