> The action/reaction force caused by weight compresses the springs in the upper section of the wheel and decompresses in the lower section. Using the centre as the pivot, this converts energy and reduces the frictional force in the opposite direction and facilitates the rotation. Using 10kg active weight, the mechanism is shown to generate a moment ranging from 7.3Nm to 7.8Nm.”
So perpetual motion machine?
- lokedhs 6y agoProbably not. It seems the energy comes from you lifting yourself up whenever you push down on the pedals. With this thing it'll just be a bit harder to do that.
- duskwuff 6y agoIt's certainly got the sound of one. Describing the technology as "weight to energy conversion" is particularly suspect.
