It's not really that revolutionary of an idea. Gravity energy storage has been used for over a century in form of pumped hydro-electric power plants that uses two things that the nature has already given us: heavy weights (water) and elevation (mountains).
@Curtis - Have you experimented with heavy weights yet, over 300 lbs? My guess is, the weights you're using are not producing enough torque to handle any serious load on a alternator/generator correct?
I want to make a tiny one that can charge my ecig when I go into the bush. Solar is not dependable. It would be so much easier to hoist a sack of rocks into the trees and have it geared so they take hours to come down and charge phones and other gadgets.
No one from the content creators answered my question؟ . What energy was produced from this project? What is the weight, height and power produced in watts?
the more you exchange energy the more energy you lose. Having another system that uses wind, solar, electrical or etc energy whose entire purpose is lifting the weights would be wasteful and it would be more efficient to design the entire generator around that prior energy source instead of having all sorts of conversions
Can you give some specifics please. what is the height? how long does it last? how much power can it produce and for each initial revolution what is the final gear ratio?
I've always wanted a gravity generator that could take solar dc input to crank up a weight, then drop the weight to output AC power. How much weight, and how high do you think it would have to be to create a single 120Vac ckt (about 2000 watts)? I just wonder why no one has produced something that can be setup on a property, and use 2, 3, or 4 weights so that 1 or 2 can be dropping producing AC power, while a solar input is running a chain fall motor or something to lift the others... Then the process repeats until no sun. Then you go on batteries/inverter for the night, and start over when the sun is back up.
It was never about over unity - since that doesn't exist. Its about storing energy when there is a glut and releasing it back when there is greater demand.
Exactly I’m using it to charge Ryobi batteries at the moment using the 12v powered chargers I can do 4 at a time!! Then a hoist with cable built in to use as rewinder… The hoist is very low watt so I can use 12v car battery to power it The math tells me I can use a deep cycle 200ah 38 times That has a potential of charging 65 4ah Ryobi batteries 4ahX65=260ah total reclamation…Maby
Se tiver uma turbina eólica pode subir o peso com o excesso de energia e quando não tiver vento pode descer o peso e gerar o que falta. Uma bela maneira de estocar o vento...
@@curtisstein2102 that arse hole that says it not gravity powered is a jerk off. Your machine is totally gravity powered. I would still wear a hard hat. They are like $15 at Home Depot. :) I love you. Lol your machine is awesome.
A competitive cyclist can produce about 200 watts an hour(minus chain, bearing and pulley friction). So, if he pedals it one hour a day, for 9 days, raising the weight, when he returns the energy he can toss a couple slices of bread. 😆😆😆😆😆
@@thomasollinger7922 you're saying a pro cyclist would only be able to raise the weight to a height that would produce 200 watts in one hour correct? Do you not think by using mechanical advantage you could increase how much man power could provide per hour? That seems to be your critique here that the time it would take to raise the weight isn't worth it.
@Z0mb13ta11ahase , I said competitive, not pro. A pro can do twice that going all out for an hour. Gear reduction or multiplication only decreases total energy due to increased mechanical drag. In any event, it's nowhere near free energy. It's not even a good source of green energy. Menards sells a wind turbine that generates 400 watts and hour. Hour after hour as long as the wind blows. Or, lots of solar panels. Best of all, if you have flowing water on your property, there are small hydroelectric units that really make good power. Just not puny humans.
@@thomasollinger7922 Again my man I'm not talking about total energy or whatever, seems like you're the one here looking for free energy, you didn't answer my question one person lifting the weight with 1 pulley would take a longer amount of time to "charge" the battery as opposed to someone who had a 5:1 ratio don't you think?
Basically you're telling the world you've invented the first perpetual motion machine I don't think so breaks the first law of thermodynamics energy cannot be created or destroyed but it's neat contraption .
but the mechanism begins with the weight at the top and ends with the weight at the bottom with no interference in between? how the weight got to the top is open to interpretation and obviously the person lifted it up in this case but in a literal sense the electrical generator is turned only by the kinetic motion of the weight in gravity and not the kinetic motion of the weight being lifted up against gravity. besides if you followed it back you could say "well, assuming the person ate bread a few hours before the video then their body was powered by caloric energy which in turn was powered by the sun so by that criteria this is a really bad solar generator?
I encourage second sense to expand the project thank you Working in a huge cylinder magnet weight the a charged coil to raise the potential over and over again
I would call it a gravity battery. Because you need to charge it first by spending energy to put the weights up there. Cool contraption!
Who would have thought this become the basis for gravity battery!

Find applicable components to fit your design specific requirements

. What energy was produced from this project? What is the weight, height and power produced in watts?
Does it have good torque?
Very Great !
Thank you 🙏
Ya good but would be better if it’s not a one way ticket. If u can have a system to return the weight back then it’s wonderful
the more you exchange energy the more energy you lose. Having another system that uses wind, solar, electrical or etc energy whose entire purpose is lifting the weights would be wasteful and it would be more efficient to design the entire generator around that prior energy source instead of having all sorts of conversions
Yes this is just part of the larger device
A person could just lift it.. put them in weight-lifting gyms =)
using solar or wind energy to lift the weight would make this a gravity battery.
(edit) even using human energy, this is still a gravity battery
Gravity battery

Hello sir... Do you have blue print on this project
Can you give some specifics please. what is the height? how long does it last? how much power can it produce and for each initial revolution what is the final gear ratio?
Their is another video of it charging a battery and running a USB fan

That’s an interesting idea to consider
Thats amazing!!! What is your final drive ratio?
PooTubeHD they are 1to 5 each
Seen the same idea on a larger scale over 8 years ago.
Great idea for a generator . . . . missing 5 components for over-unity.
It was never about over unity - since that doesn't exist. Its about storing energy when there is a glut and releasing it back when there is greater demand.
Exactly
I’m using it to charge Ryobi batteries at the moment using the 12v powered chargers

The hoist is very low watt so I can use 12v car battery to power it

@@curtisstein2102how to assemble such a generator?
The CIA: 🗿
Good effort but raising the weight again is the actual problem having no solution.
👍👍
Amazing, how are you making the drive shafts on each of the sprockets? Are these parts something I can buy at home depot?
Einewton they are bike hubs
Curtis stein how did you attach the small sproket to the big one?
Einewton they are disk brake hubs then I attached large sprocket to brake disk
@@curtisstein2102 how does the weight move up
@@gta-6837
Rewind the weight back up
Lila a grandfather clock
Put all the parts into a kit I can buy and assemble at home =)
imagina o trabalho que pra fazer essa engenhoca.
How much power per second you can get?
And what time till recharge?
1.5 hour run time with load with charging activated
See other video of where I have attached the DC generator and charge with multiple ports

Did you ever get any further with this Curtis? I dreamed of doing this when I was a kid
Yes see other video connect to a battery and fan
Ko hiểu cổ máy này để làm gì,mục đích của nó.
Wear your hardhat Incase it falls apart and the weight lands on your head.
It’s suspended directly on a 8 gauge steel pole. On outrigging at all

Gravity is not that great to store huge amounts of energy in a house. I think compressing air would work better (but we have heat loss of about 20%).
how much do you need for daily use?
@@danhard8440
How much energy or how much compressed air ?
@@En_theo my comment was from his stating " HUGE amounts " but how much do you really need for your daily or for just incase or for fun?

I'd imagine you'd use mechanical advantage to raise the weight not straight up hoist it up with 1 pulley.
@@Z0mb13ta11ahase , that only changes the speed of the energy return. Not the total amount saved. Watts produced X time delivered = power saved.

Its NOT gravity powered if YOU had to lift or crank the weight into place. To quote Toy Story, "That's not Flying, its falling with style."
but the mechanism begins with the weight at the top and ends with the weight at the bottom with no interference in between? how the weight got to the top is open to interpretation and obviously the person lifted it up in this case but in a literal sense the electrical generator is turned only by the kinetic motion of the weight in gravity and not the kinetic motion of the weight being lifted up against gravity.

@@kimmyhollis5245 Its not "powered" by gravity. Its stored energy released by gravity.
@@Robert08010 basically, the energy the guy exerted to lift the weight in the air, is the same energy turning those gears.
@@gamemylifeaway1112 Exactly. Gravity is the force that released the energy. It didn't create the energy.
