I'm a total fan of this type of energy production. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. I'm still working on my concept of a gravity battery. It'll be reset manually... I'm not afraid of some exercise. Who cares if it's not totally free energy? As long as it can get you through a tough spot, then it's totally worth the effort. If I can get a working model going, I may post it on my channel.
Yes - finally, someone who gets it 😀 My idea was to have many smaller weights, that you raise either by hand or with the help of pullies and levers. The trick is to find the best radio or size, shape, and weight so you have enough weight to last a month. I would not mind raising 50 weights once a month if it meant that I could produce my own energy. Once a week would be too often - you should be able to go on vacation for a few weeks at a time.
@@TheFreeInternetGuy, part of my concept will be based off of Rolling Ball Sculptures. They have an interesting way of keeping the balls rolling from the top down. The important part is the spiral ball return... simply genius! I will test different ways to control the fall of the weight to stabilize the flow of power generated and to control the amount of time needed between resetting of the weight. The design will be minimal with regards to moving parts to lower the risk of any points of failure. Keep up the amazing work!
@@TheFreeInternetGuy some of the best examples are made/shown on these two channels: David Morrell - Rolling Ball Sculptures and Copper-Gravity. Simply copy and paste the channel names and run a search on TH-cam. I look forward to what you come up with after you see these pieces of art in action.

I'm not an engineer at all but I've thought about the concept of something like this and would be super useful if you could have the generator act as a motor run by alternate energy source such as solar or wind. This would make this system work as a hands off gravity battery. I mean, as far as I know, motors and generators are basically the same thing, just different direction of electricity flow.
Hey, hope the project's going alright. I found this while thinking about a potential-energy-harnessing gravity generator myself. Do you think incorporating a gear train would work? That might help alleviate the issues of fall distance and time. Like a gear reducer but backwards... gear increaser?
That's a good idea. I was thinking about adding pullies as a gear train. Pullies would be simpler to implement than gears because you can make them yourself. You are right about the issues of fall distance and time when adding a gear train.
Can't you turn this into a heavier lifting to generate electricity and then the more resistance simulating heavier weights the more electricity? Then the buffest people will generate the most electricity! Think about it!
What if you get rid of mechanical advantage and use pumping water into a tank creating more weight easier. 5 Gallons of water weighs approximately 42 lbs. I can fit 60 in a small area in my basement and have 1 ton of mechanical energy. Then you need to convert the energy that a ton of water could produce. The higher you pump the water the more power you have. If you use creak water and pump it uphill 100 feet. Use a ram pump, solar panel, tractor pump, whatever you got. have multiple that cycle through pumping water to charge and when its reaches the bottom. Drain the water back to the source. In extreme emergencies you could you city water.
That is a good idea! One reason I chose not to go with water because concrete or steel weighs more for the same volume. But water is easier to lift gradually, while a solid block has to be raised in one go. As for lifting water, I have thought about evaporation as the "pump" with the use of plants and snails as the heat source. Snails? Snails can help speed up the decomposition and help create the tropical greenhouse effect that produces the humidity that condenses on the windows. If the "greenhouse" roof is tilted on the x and y-axis, the water runs into the same corner. Then the water could be picked up in tanks that could be lowered to extract potential energy, or may the condensed water drive a watermill? I know this evaporation "pump" is a tiny volume, but what if it could be optimized? It could save many resources used to produce a mechanical pump and the power supply.
After submitting my post, I tried to find some equation on evaporation and I found the link below that gives this formula: "=e^(0.0344*T F°) * 0.006 * (W% * 0.01/0.18) Where: T F° is the temperature in degree F & W% is the water percent of the mixture." www.researchgate.net/post/What_is_the_equation_for_water_evaporation_mass_transfer_in_a_closed_container/549c130bd3df3e63508b48a5/citation/download
Very interesting. Quick calculation: If a want to have 200W (average house consumption) during 8h (entire night). This will require to have 200x8x60x60=57 760 000 joules. This will represent 57760k/47k= 122 concrete blocks elevated from 2m of the ground. Is that correct ?
I get 5 760 000 - but I think you miswrote it because your result is still correct - 122 concrete blocks. That is a lot of blocks for not much energy. It might not be that feasible. Concrete might not be the best material, but it is the most available.
@@TheFreeInternetGuy oh yes, you're right, I miswrote the total, thanks for the correction. Yeah... too much block, my neighborhood will not let me do it! And anyway my wife neither 🤣🤣. I mean, 122 blocks are equivalent to 300tonne... it seems to be really really huge. Are we sure about the calculations??? 😅
The idea was that the next weight would only fall once the first weight triggered a release mechanism at the bottom. This prolongs the time in which the energy is released. Adding more pullies at the top would further delay the fall. I would produce less energy but for a more extended period. Imagine producing energy for four weeks with only a one-time lifting of the weights? Mechanical clocks using weights can run for weeks. It could be a combination of a flywheel and a clock mechanism, but I am unsure if it could work.
*Now type in '300 hp ambient heat free energy engine'. It has 1 moving part, runs off the heat from a road or the roof of a house. Weighs 82 pounds and they are holding work shops teaching people how to build them.*
If the video you are watching claims to give you 'free energy' 99.9% of the time they are literally magic trick fakes with hidden batteries powering the device. In the other cases you are just converting miniscule amounts of energy through heat or radiation that can only power an led if that. So generally speaking, 'free energy' is an automatic scam.
If you raise the temperatute of 200 litres of water by 60 degrees you now have stored roughly 50 000 000 joules. In a bathtub without lifting or dropping it thousands of meters you can extract 1200W over 12 hours (or 50 000 000 Watt over 1 second if you want big numbers instead of practically usable ones)
And how would you suggest that you to convert that energy into electricity? Carnot's theorem states that if a heat engine have a two reservoirs, one at 9 dregress Celcius (temperature at 1meter into the ground) and one at 60 degress Celcius (your bathtub) then any heat engine can not be more than 15%. This means, in your example, that you would only get 7 500 000 joules back.
Is this channel still active? Please reach out to me. I would like to collaborate with you on a project. Your most current comment states it's impossible for a free energy machine to power itself. This is completely wrong. The key is making comparable power on the trip up to be used in raising your weights. Don't listen to people who say anything is impossible. They juat have not figured it out. I use one very very large weight. At two thousand pounds of weight dropping i am realizing 0.014 kwh of power. It doesn't seem like a whole bunch. But its good to drop every fifteen minutes. Thats ninety six drops a day for a total of 1.3 actual kwh a day... On the down trip. The up trip makes close to the same power. Minus the power requirements to lift the weight wich we can discuss in a closed setting. The reason for colab offer is i love the way you reduced the fall height by spreading it out that was pretty ingenious. Currently my rig is over twenty feet tall.
I have been busy trying to make more time for this channel. It's not inactive :-) Thank you for your kind words. The distribution I was trying to achieve was the height needed. I was looking for a solution that could fit in an apartment, but as someone pointed out, it might take too many falling weights. :-) I was hoping to extend the falling time with pulleys, but that does reduce the power output. That way you did not need to raise the weight every day. In my example of a machine, I plan to let us humans do the heavy lifting with pulleys and levers. The thing I am thinking the most about right now is the electric generator itself. I would love to see your setup. Could you share a video or a picture that shows the whole setup? You could blur the details that you think are sensitive.
100 kg? It depends on the height it drops from and how fast it falls. Usually, you have a cable attached to it that runs around some pullies and, in the end, is connected to a generator. Thus creating resistance that will slow the acceleration of the weight. But let's calculate the maximum theoretical output with a fall of 2 meters: We store potential energy when we raise a weight of 100 Kg (m), 2 meters (h) above the ground. We calculate the potential energy(PE) like this: (g is the acceleration due to gravity - approximated as 9.81 m/s²) PE = m * g * h => PE = 100 * 9.81 * 2 = 1962 Joules. Now let's try to calculate the power ... and that is the tricky part because that is the part the I variable is dependent on the time it takes for weight to fall! And greatly depends on air resistance and friction etc. Power(Watt) = Energy(Joules) / Time (seconds). Now let's say the weight can drop in a vacuum and have nothing attached to it, and thus it drops to the ground in h = 0.5 * g * t² => 2 meters = 0.5 * 9.81m/s² * t² => t= sqrt((2 * 2 m) / 9.81 m/s²) => 0.638 seconds So dropped in a vacuum and nothing to harness the energy it would "produce": Power = 1962 J / 0.638 s = approximately 3074 Watts Waou! That's a lot! Except that we do not drop it in a vacuum, and we do need to attach something that can harness the energy. This is why we need to experiment - a lot - because it all depends on well our setup works. Is the generator efficient? and how low are the friction of all other parts? I would say maybe we can produce 100 - 300 Watts. But wait! A 100-300 Watts! Is, in my book, still a lot from just raising a weight 2 meters. It's useful for sure! The downside is getting it back up to the 2 meters - repeatable! That is why I thought about how to let one weight release the next weight and so on. But imagine having 100s of weights on the outside of the walls where you live? I could imagine that maybe the building would need some reinforcement if everyone living in an apartment block would like to do this. I do believe it would be doable. Some of them could also be on the inside of the walls hidden behind plaster boards with an access hatch or some other access mechanism to raise the weights again. I guess this is where our imagination must flourish and help us come up with ideas on where to put the weights and how to raise them in an easy manner. Hope it was of use to you?
@@TheFreeInternetGuy I am grateful to you, my friend. The result of the theoretical calculations is 3074 watts. This is a very good number. If we assume that 20% of the energy is lost due to friction and other factors, we will have 2500 watts left. This is also a very good number
@@TheFreeInternetGuyCan we calculate the energy resulting from the fall of 100 kg from a height of 2 meters, such as the method of calculating the hp torque (horsepower)???
Torque - is a mechanical aspect that I have very little knowledge about. Mathematically, torque (τ) is calculated using the following formula: τ = r x F Where r = radius of the wheel, and F = force in newtons(N). Newton is to me difficult to understand due to its units: Kg/m/s² - 1 Newton is 1Kg pr meters pr seconds squared (what does that even mean???). BUT longer lever arms (greater distance from the axis of rotation) can produce more torque for the same amount of force. The bigger the wheel, the greater the torque for the same force. I imagine that a bigger wheel means that the 100 Kg will overcome greater resistance and thus have better efficiency. This means that more of the energy from the falling weight will go into the generator. Then comes the question - will the generator used be able to produce the electrical power that is outputted from the falling weight? For example, a car alternator can have a specific rating of 90 Amps and 12 volts = 1080 Watts. It needs a lot of amps input and a specific RPM for this to happen. Increase the RPM, and you increase the power output - increase the amps in - you increase the output. More energy output means more heat that increases the resistance which decreases the power output. This is where it gets really complicated. So even if you drop 1000 Kg you might not get a lot of watts out of it. This is why experiments are needed to get a better understanding of how to build a generator that outputs the energy you put into it :-) Horsepower is that concept as Watts - its a unit of energy doing work for a certain number of seconds :-) Horsepower (hp) = Watts (W) / 746 - so 2000 watts = 2.68 hp :-)
That is a good idea, but I don't know how to build it. In addition to a flywheel, it would be beneficial if the fall of the following weight could be delayed, letting the flywheel do some of the work.
It is not a complete solution. Batteries would be part of the final solution. The generator would produce X amount of energy every time the weight falls. Still, if not all the power is consumed by household appliances, storing the excess energy in batteries would make sense. An inverter is needed to convert the DC from the batteries to the AC required by standard household appliances.
Dropping 1055 metric tonnes 5 meters over 12 hours will produce enough to drive an average home for 12 hours. You could also drop 5 metric tonnes 1055 metres over 12 hours for the same results (roughly 1200W over 12 hours or 50 0000 000 joule). Not a very effective way to store energy
Yes, it is buoyancy that I try to use in this video th-cam.com/video/ziciFv5N7H8/w-d-xo.html But I would like to understand the the equations around buoyancy before building. On the other hand - nothing beats experimentation :-D
An animation of a supposed free energy device works fine as an animation, but not in reality. Free Energy devices that deliver power and at the same time power themselves, are just not possible.
I never claimed it was free energy! This is a simple falling weight principle that then pulls a wire. Would you say en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GravityLight is a "Free Energy Device"? You should ask: "How would you raise the weights in the first place? And how would you get the weights back up?" It is the same principle as en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GravityLight The energy comes from whoever or whatever raises the weight. Imagine you wanted to boil some water and then raise a weight that generated the electricity for your water boiler. That could work. I suggest an oversized version of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GravityLight. Getting the weight back up is what I suggest in th-cam.com/video/ziciFv5N7H8/w-d-xo.html. Here the question is - how do you get the compressed air? You could compress it yourself or buy compressed air from someone. Think of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icebox - people selling you ice for your icebox back in the 1930s. Or we could change our natural gas distribution net to deliver compressed air like described here: archive.org/details/compressedairex03kenngoog/page/n53/mode/2up?view=theater.
@@TheFreeInternetGuy Getting the weight back up with compressed air! Ok, but what powers the compressor? Certainly not the gravity generator! This would result in diminishing returns. An external source would be needed to power the compressor. The Gravity Generator cannot power itself, i.e. provide power to the compressor, to lift the load and continue running. Using Natural Gas as compressed air has a few problems. 1. Natural Gas is extremely flammable; 2. Energy must be used to compress the gas for delivery and therefore, using energy to do so; and 3. If energy must be used to compress the gas from the source, delivered to your device, where is the benefit since energy was used to compress the gas in the first place? I realize gravity Generators are used today for energy storage, and run only when *_extra energy_* is required. Once the weights fall to the bottom, an external force brings them back up. I'm all for creating energy that does not require fossil fuels.
It's like a car - it needs someone to put the full in the tank. However, unlike a car, you do not need to go to the gas station since the air is everywhere. The air compressor could be driven by a bike, and you could get some exercise as a bonus.
The idea was that it should fit in your home - even if you live in an apartment. And you should be able to build it yourself without a special tool like a lathe.
Funny - where do I claim "free" energy-wise? Yes, you need to raise the weights. I did not say who should raise the weights or how they would be raised. That is another problem as is the generator itself. Nobody seems to wonder too much about that. Without a generator to generate the electricity, all the weights would not matter. One issue many do think about is that the cheap mainline generators do not generate electricity under 1500 RPM. This is not a problem when using a diesel/gasoline engine.
@@TheFreeInternetGuy sure, it stores energy. Does not create gravity. Does not produce energy from gravity. It's a storage. Just like your coffee cup does not generate coffee, it just holds it for a bit while it gets cold.

Raise weights by floating them to starting position.

So dropped in a vacuum and nothing to harness the energy it would "produce":
Power = 1962 J / 0.638 s = approximately 3074 Watts
Waou! That's a lot!
Except that we do not drop it in a vacuum, and we do need to attach something that can harness the energy.

Torque - is a mechanical aspect that I have very little knowledge about.

I imagine that a bigger wheel means that the 100 Kg will overcome greater resistance and thus have better efficiency. This means that more of the energy from the falling weight will go into the generator.
Then comes the question - will the generator used be able to produce the electrical power that is outputted from the falling weight?
For example, a car alternator can have a specific rating of 90 Amps and 12 volts = 1080 Watts. It needs a lot of amps input and a specific RPM for this to happen. Increase the RPM, and you increase the power output - increase the amps in - you increase the output. More energy output means more heat that increases the resistance which decreases the power output. This is where it gets really complicated. So even if you drop 1000 Kg you might not get a lot of watts out of it. This is why experiments are needed to get a better understanding of how to build a generator that outputs the energy you put into it :-)
Horsepower is that concept as Watts - its a unit of energy doing work for a certain number of seconds :-) Horsepower (hp) = Watts (W) / 746 - so 2000 watts = 2.68 hp :-)
@@TheFreeInternetGuy إإYes, you must try, thank you my friend
Flywheel on the side.
That is a good idea, but I don't know how to build it. In addition to a flywheel, it would be beneficial if the fall of the following weight could be delayed, letting the flywheel do some of the work.
No batteries?
It is not a complete solution. Batteries would be part of the final solution. The generator would produce X amount of energy every time the weight falls. Still, if not all the power is consumed by household appliances, storing the excess energy in batteries would make sense. An inverter is needed to convert the DC from the batteries to the AC required by standard household appliances.
@@TheFreeInternetGuy Now that's the battery.
Dropping 1055 metric tonnes 5 meters over 12 hours will produce enough to drive an average home for 12 hours. You could also drop 5 metric tonnes 1055 metres over 12 hours for the same results (roughly 1200W over 12 hours or 50 0000 000 joule).
Not a very effective way to store energy
Its not about storing energy. Its about producing electricity.

Yes, it is buoyancy that I try to use in this video th-cam.com/video/ziciFv5N7H8/w-d-xo.html
But I would like to understand the the equations around buoyancy before building.
On the other hand - nothing beats experimentation :-D
An animation of a supposed free energy device works fine as an animation, but not in reality. Free Energy devices that deliver power and at the same time power themselves, are just not possible.
I never claimed it was free energy! This is a simple falling weight principle that then pulls a wire. Would you say en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GravityLight is a "Free Energy Device"?
You should ask: "How would you raise the weights in the first place? And how would you get the weights back up?"
It is the same principle as en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GravityLight
The energy comes from whoever or whatever raises the weight.
Imagine you wanted to boil some water and then raise a weight that generated the electricity for your water boiler. That could work.
I suggest an oversized version of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GravityLight.
Getting the weight back up is what I suggest in th-cam.com/video/ziciFv5N7H8/w-d-xo.html.
Here the question is - how do you get the compressed air? You could compress it yourself or buy compressed air from someone. Think of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icebox - people selling you ice for your icebox back in the 1930s. Or we could change our natural gas distribution net to deliver compressed air like described here: archive.org/details/compressedairex03kenngoog/page/n53/mode/2up?view=theater.
@@TheFreeInternetGuy
Getting the weight back up with compressed air! Ok, but what powers the compressor? Certainly not the gravity generator! This would result in diminishing returns. An external source would be needed to power the compressor. The Gravity Generator cannot power itself, i.e. provide power to the compressor, to lift the load and continue running.
Using Natural Gas as compressed air has a few problems.
1. Natural Gas is extremely flammable;
2. Energy must be used to compress the gas for delivery and therefore, using energy to do so; and
3. If energy must be used to compress the gas from the source, delivered to your device, where is the benefit since energy was used to compress the gas in the first place?
I realize gravity Generators are used today for energy storage, and run only when *_extra energy_* is required. Once the weights fall to the bottom, an external force brings them back up. I'm all for creating energy that does not require fossil fuels.
It's like a car - it needs someone to put the full in the tank. However, unlike a car, you do not need to go to the gas station since the air is everywhere. The air compressor could be driven by a bike, and you could get some exercise as a bonus.
The idea was that it should fit in your home - even if you live in an apartment. And you should be able to build it yourself without a special tool like a lathe.
@@TheFreeInternetGuy
Does this mean you are going to build a Gravity Generator? If so, please make a video.
Grosse blague Rien n'est gratuit.... toute les 10 minutes ou toutes les heures, il faudra remonter la manivelle.....
Funny - where do I claim "free" energy-wise? Yes, you need to raise the weights. I did not say who should raise the weights or how they would be raised. That is another problem as is the generator itself. Nobody seems to wonder too much about that. Without a generator to generate the electricity, all the weights would not matter. One issue many do think about is that the cheap mainline generators do not generate electricity under 1500 RPM. This is not a problem when using a diesel/gasoline engine.
This generates nothing.
Care to explain what you mean?
@@TheFreeInternetGuy sure, it stores energy. Does not create gravity. Does not produce energy from gravity. It's a storage. Just like your coffee cup does not generate coffee, it just holds it for a bit while it gets cold.
