Hmmm... anyone got a clue about what the small gadget is - which is mounted to the bottom rail, just to the right of the main weight - and is moved slightly one every revolution by an elbow of one of the cranks?
This device seems to provide no obvious useful function - which probably means that without it, the thing would not work at all. -----Original Message----- From: a.ashfield Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2015 9:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Vo]:new images RAR Energia gravity motor The animated GIFs at http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:Animated_Gifs_of_RAR_Energia_Gravity_Motor_Mechanism show how it is supposed to work. The weight on the left moves away from the pivot point on the down cycle, increasing the moment. The weight on the right side is supported for some of the up stroke. Not worth the time to calculate what the actual result would be.
