working free energy machine
Attention all of you back yard mechanics,,,
I did an experiment, where I let my electric wheelchair become a free energy device where I gained the power to go an additional 20 feet up a pretty steep hill, each time I travel up the hill at full speed, and back then down the hill slowly. I repeated this test 3 time, gaining a total of 60 feet before stopping the test Then I repeated the test a few days later, gaining the same 60 feet This was proof to me, that we have discovered a way of gaining free energy I also made drawings of how to build a stand-alone mechanism That I believe should be a way of gaining free energy power supplies ...

I don't get this. Are you saying you went up 20 feet, then coasted down, then went up 40 feet, and coasted down again, and then went up, etc. ? With the battery not losing any charge? As if the battery has enough power capacity I don't see anything Randi-worthy going on here.

Hi Joe.
I googled as you suggested. It doesn't look like you were able to convince people on that free energy forum, despite posting your message multiple times. Over here, you're more likely to find people who point out that the energy you can harvest by rolling down a hill is not greater then the energy you exert in driving up it in the first place. Still, welcome to the forum. |

Regenerative braking, presumably.
Not clear which part is supposed to be over 100% efficient yet, but have a sinking feeling it's just the high gear/low gear bit. <edit to add> Joe, if that worked, people with electric cars could charge their batteries just by alternately accelerating in one gear then braking in another gear. I think you need to do some basic reading on how electric motors and generators behave first. |

First of all, welcome to the forums.
You know what would be really helpful? Could you post a link to a video of your magnetic motor in full operation. That why we'd all understand you have a serious claim--one worthy of the $1,000,000 prize--and that you are not simply trying to hawk your $200 CAD drawings for something that doesn't work at all. |

I once at a quarter pound cheeseburger and used the energy from it to lift a 60 lb bag of concrete! 240X return!!
Match that efficiency !!! |

Oooooh. I just love free energy machines, especially the really clever ones.
This site does allow urls, but only after you've made a certain number of posts. Presumably the site you want us to look at is: http://free-energy.yolasite.com But I've noticed that in addition to this forum, you seem to also have posted it to these.... http://freeenergyforum.com/discussio...enerate-itself http://pub20.bravenet.com/forum/stat...12691&cmd=show http://www.overunity.com/6763/energy.../#.UOkWnM6PcwI http://www.overunity.com/11851/any-p.../#.UOkYxc6PcwI http://forums.cnet.com/7723-10152_10...sageId=5407194 http://www.godlikeproductions.com/fo...age2103527/pg1 And many more. Somehow, I doubt you'll have the time to pay much attention to the replies in this forum, but I'll give your machine a fair assessment anyway. From your webpage:
Quote:
Very disappointing. There's clearly no way this can work. The simplest explanation for why it won't work that I can give you (and there are multiple explanations to choose from), it's because the large pulley will impart much greater speed, but far less torque onto the small pulley. As soon as you add load to the small pulley (by drawing power from the AC generator to power the DC motor), there won't be enough torque to turn the small pulley anymore, and the whole thing will stop turning. |

ahhh, it's the old "big wheel turns faster and over a longer distance than small pulley hence generating more energy than it uses!!!!" gag.
Problem is, energy doesn't work that way. eventually, it won't be able to turn the wheel "as stated above" and eventually the battery will truly die and it will all come to dead stop. Have you tested it with no battery in place? I could get into the law of diminishing returns too (how a wheel twice as large doesn't generate twice as much energy) but that would be overkill |

The claim on the Free Energy Forum is that he went up the hill until it stopped (e.g. "dead battery") and then went down the hill in low gear and when he turned around and went back up again, he got 20 feet more distance than he got when doing it on battery power.
I'm no engineer, but I'd say it's pretty obvious - the battery was low to start with. The fact that he got 20 feet farther the first time, and the same each of the other two attempts (total of 60 feet he says), would say that the machine stores X amount of energy and that happens to be 20' + what was on the original battery charge. Joe, why don't you run your chair down the switchbacks in the Alps. Some of those are a total of 15/20 km, all downhill. If you really get more energy, you should be able to drive your chair to Paris. It won't happen, though. The clue is that you got the same +20 the first, second and third times. It's the same amount of energy, not more, on try 2 and try 3. |

I have observed that people working in proximity to prototype free energy devices appear to lose the capacity to write concisely. (Does this effect yet have a name, or any proposed mechanism?)
We should be alarmed by this. Should not such work be halted until it can be established how to protect experimenters? Roentgen and Curie managed to dose themselves with high levels of radiation without apprehending the danger. |

Have we established yet that the inability to write concisely is not a pre-existing condition? Their inability to write concisely may be a symptom of a condition that renders them more likely to work in proximity to prototype free energy devices in the first place.

I appreciate that Mr. Warrior has included safety warnings on his site, including:
"If this system is allowed to run freely, without having any outside drain of power, this system will overcharge itself, and may even explode." Which is at once a valuable tip to follow when operating any overunity or perpetual motion or free energy harvesting machine and some bitching free verse. |

A battery that is hot after high usage may appear to be dead, but after cooling down it can have a lot of charge. This happens all the time with cordless power tools. I suspect something like this. "Dead battery" is not an accurate way to measure energy use.

It pretty much goes without saying that the "free" energy the OP thinks he is getting is coming from the wheelchair's battery and, ultimately from the wall socket.
The electric wheelchairs that I have seen (a very small sample to be sure) do not have multi-ratio transmissions. They have a speed control that I'm pretty sure works by changing the voltage supplied to the motor, possibly simply with resistors, possibly by using more sophisticated electronics to do it with less loss than a simple resistor. Here is what I think might really be happening.: OP runs his wheelchair uphill at full power until the motor get's hot enough to trip the thermal overload that is probably there to keep the motor from burning out. He then coasts it downhill at minimum power, allowing the motor to cool off enough to allow him to climb the hill a little farther. Alternatively, if the OP really conducting his experiment with a low battery (which he does not make clear), heat, battery polarization or some other anomaly is making the chair stop before the battery is completely discharged. In any event, it's safe to say that if he repeats his poorly designed experiment enough times, he will end up stuck at the bottom of the hill with a dead battery. O f course that is exactly what you would expect a shill for Big Oil to say in order to suppress da twoof about free energy. |

The real breakthrough here is a chair with wheels. Imagine it -- a chair, so you can sit down, but with wheels, allowing mobility as well. This is huge!

I think the OP has left the forums. Mission accomplished: Spam forums everywhere hoping to lure the feeble-minded to buy his CAD drawings.
The JREF was perhaps not his wisest choice. |

Thanks. Great link. It reminds of my time as an amateur scientist when I tried to figure out why Gyro Gearloose's devices did not work. I retired from amateur science at around age 12, having concluded free energy devices are as likely to work out long term as the Beagle Boys' plans.

Cordless power tool batteries are thermally protected by a thermistor. It's simply a temperature controlled breaker that opens the circuit at a specified temperature that is low enough to not actually damage the battery. If a battery is genuinely overheated, its life can be severely shortened.

more reasoning for this free energy device
here I try to explain why this Miricle works
sorry for the length of this response but there are an aweful lot of reasoning that I try to explain this is a compilation of many answers that I have tried to explain Subject: free energy from the Bible ATTENTION all of you back yard mechanics,,, I did an experiment, where I let my electric wheelchair act as a free energy device where I gained the power to go an additional 20 feet up a pretty steep hill each time I travel up the hill at maximum speed, (10th gear) and then back down the hill at a slow speed, (1st gear) I repeated this test 3 time, gaining a total of 60 feet before stopping the test Then I repeated the test a few days later, gaining the same 60 feet This was proof to me, that we have discovered a way of gaining free energy ...

GEM = God's Energy Machine = Gift from God
Sorry, but I don’t believe that this is anything like a hooker
From any nation, continent or race This is a gift from God Evil forces have no doubt been battling to keep this hidden For who knows how long, probably since electricity has been discovered This is so simple it seems too simple too work But it does work, and it works very well You are using the change in size of pulleys To multiply the amount of rotations This is significant with electricity As more rotations usually equals more power with electric motors/generators I gave a collection of my answers to others earlier we need to get this info out to the Tribulation Saints I have a working free energy device in my house it is my electric wheelchair, or any electric wheelchair that has the drive gear settings changed to max torque,(1st gear) + max speed,(10th gear) WARNING = the pre-Trib started on March 14th, 2012 please google doorschristmustpassthrough + yolasite joe lynch one_christian_warrior(at)yahoo.ca please Google beliefstoliveby + yolasite |
