Why Give idea away

What can I do with this idea that is possibly the biggest idea in history.

For over 5 years I have developing this idea. Thousands of thinking hours and calculations, countless conceptual drawings, many prototypes made from anything I could find from cardboard to old bikes, to making big steel wheel to hold an actual generator for testing.

I have done the maths as best I could and this idea does seem to work in theory. I cannot make a working model as to big and to costly, I also cannot do a working model using a computer, hence I cannot move forward and need people to challenge the concept.

There is no other machine like it and is totally novel in concept. I do not want any one person to own this idea so this is why I am giving all my ideas away.

I hope that there will be some serious effort put into the idea by mechanical and electrical engineers. I will not give my calculations as it is best for others to work it out.

A key point to remember is (and this is very important); what goes on in the smaller wheels do not effect the power/force required to turn the total weight of the wheel. There is only one motor needed to turn the whole wheel.

Am am happy to answer any questions as what I have given here in this blog is the very basics. People need to understand these first.

It is also very hard to put into words.

Abstract

Donnelly Machine



This novel invention relates to a machine that creates more electrical power than it uses to produce that extra power and yes you heard it all before, but this nothing you have ever seen (see videos). 

 I hope people take the time to review this innovation and think about the concept. Please keep in mind the torque required to turn the generators under load does not require more power than turning the complete main wheel weight. The only power needed is to turn the main wheel. This is due to the pendulums staying in the 6 o'clock position. If the pendulum lifted to the 8 o'clock position, then more power would be needed to turn the main wheel as the wheel is unbalanced on the negative side (up cycle).

 This wheel stays in the balanced position even when the generators are under load.

All I ask is that you don't take my idea and try and pretend you thought of it... 




The innovation (donnelly over-unity wheel) is described as a large 'Ferris wheel' or 'Falkirk Wheel' type machine (size is not small). To this main wheel it has a series of smaller circular rims/tracks that are attached in an equal and balanced way around the main wheel (this keeps the wheel perfectly balanced as it is being turned using a motor). 



Hanging from the centre of each of these smaller rims by way of a bearing hub, is a pendulum arm saddle. This saddled is two sided so it can hold a solid wheel/disk inside the saddle without the wheel falling over or rolling out. Sitting inside the pendulum arm saddle, is large weighted wheel/disk, this heavy wheel gives a means to hold both the pendulum arm down at 6 o'clock and the generator top wheel at about 1 o'clock (under load) as the main wheel turns.



This heavy wheel/disk sits in/on a track inside the saddle. This track stops the wheel from slipping as it is lifted by the top wheel when the generator is under load. As this weighted wheel is turned and lifted on one side (left) by the top wheel, it has to climb up the track (right). This lifting only occurs once the generator is loaded due to power being drawn. This lifting gives the weight needed to stop the top wheel from turning due to the load being applied to the generator (this weighted wheel holds the Nm of the generator and the weight to keep the pendulum down at 6 o'clock). 



The top wheel (that supports the generator) is fitted to the weighted bottom wheel only via a single connecting rod (like a steam train wheel). This top wheel that supports the generator is as light as it needs to be and does not need to be equal weight to the lower weighted wheel. The top wheel simply acts like a pulley and a means to support the generator onto the track (the giving friction to turn the generator drive wheel). 



Using gravity to hold the pendulum saddle arm in a lower fixed position (6 o'clock) as the main wheel is being rotated at a constant slow <5 RPM, the smaller rim/track circulating the pendulum arm is also rotating at the same slow RPM as the main wheel (as is fixed). As the main wheel and smaller wheel are rotating at the same speed, the generator drive wheel is in contact with the smaller rim and is turned at a higher speed due to ratio between the track diameter and the generator wheel diameter. I.e, if main wheel is turning at 5 rpm, the generator will be turning 100rpm as the generator wheel is much smaller.



It is claimed that the power being produced by the multiple generators (in the examples I use four generators and tracks but there are many configurations that could be used) is more than what is needed to turn the main wheel in a balanced state (the Falkirk Wheel uses very low power to rotate, as do large Ferris Wheels in balance). 

The machine does not need to turn both the main wheel and the separate generators; the only power required is to turn the main wheel. The driving motor used for rotating the main wheel only has to be powerful enough to turn the weight of the main wheel including pendulums and generators (starting up will require more power due to inertia). 

At first thoughts you may just rule this idea out as another impossible free energy concept because of various physics laws, and I can understand this, but think about the Falkirk wheel and that turning a wheel in balance does not require much energy.

If the pendulums went like this (lifted to the left) the machine would not work as the power needed to turn the main wheel also has to lift the unbalance weight caused by the pendulums being over to the left side (can clearly see this). This requires more power than the generators can produce as the load is very heavy (like pushing a wheel up a hill or trying to turn a Ferris wheel with everyone on only half the wheel)

As the I have invented the saddle (as per moving clip above), the pendulum does not lift to the side. This makes the whole wheel balanced so very easy to turn. The weight of the lower disk/wheel is the means to hold back the generator under load. The power needed is only needed to turn the whole weight of wheel.
Just a very quick look at output figures
In a very simple small scale four generator version using only 4 x 5kw generators (260Nm) with a wheel (including all fixtures) that weighed 10,000kg.

Would use less than 2kw to turn whole wheel at 5rpm with a worst case collective output of 10,000kw (over 50% losses)...that would leave 8kw of excess power.
