RAM PUMP RAM PUMP RAM PUMP ALERT! Elevate the whole mechanism a bit from the ground . install RAM PUMP below the water reservoir to get head pressure to cycle the RAM PUMP.... heck! install a couple if u need to ( need to experiment to get correct flow rate to upper reservoir). I don't know physics and math well but u could at least extend the time the mechanism can run for if not make it perpetual. A lot of playing with dimensions of parts but I think it could work.
In most of the videos I've made I use a solid material in the carriage of the Lifter. I decided to try something different like water. It has several advantages but one disadvantage is that once you empty the carriage of it's water you have to replace it. The water collected at the bottom of the water wheel has to be moved back into the empty carriage when it is lowered back down to the bottom. Once the carriage has been refilled then the carriage would be tilted back up the vertical support. This would be the recharge cycle of the gravity battery, making the potential energy ready to use. In the place of water one could use a loose material like sand. It would be much like an hour glass. Using a flowing material makes it easy to release the stored energy in a measured amount without multiple reducing gears, pulleys, etc.
@@bill-wr6tbYou have to constantly pump water into the upper tanks - I saw that it takes in water by itself, but there is a compressor. How many kW is it capable of producing - thanks
@@danielkovac2425 This is a small unit and is really just a proof-of-concept. I used a water hose to fill the tanks for this demo so that I could speed up the presentation. There is no compressor. Normally you would lower the carriage and fill it with water and then tilt the carriage up the vertical support. Once it was in position the water would be released so that it would fill the buckets and turn the water wheel. The water wheel turns the very small generator at the bottom. It produces enough voltage to power a couple of LEDs. So, that is only 3-5 volts. I would love to make one that produced a kilowatt, but that would take around 11 tons raised to around 120 feet and would only run for around 60 minutes. Gravity is free, but it takes a lot to make it work for you.
@@bill-wr6tb You don't have such a model that would give at least 2kW - I'm probably exaggerating, but some German company has a model but they blow air in there with a compressor - which is not very suitable. I saw some scheme where there was no water in the chamber with full tanks - but there was water in the chamber with empty tanks and it acted like Archimedes' law - that is, buoyancy was created - .Friend - thank you very much for your information, but the road probably won't lead there - it's a pity that I don't have direct contact with you - thanks

Silly thought... Set up as a triangle, vertical side is your up side, and you have the other two sides, which are the same length as the vertical side, pulling down, does that now give you a positive energy on the down side, and a negative energy on the up side? If you have 10 buckets going up, and you have 10 buckets on each leg of the triangle, would that give one a means of making the unit perpetual?
Thanks for watching. There are a lot of ways to extract the energy from a gravity storage machine, but unfortunately you can't get more out than you put in. I love to watch examples of perpetual motion machines. People go into such effort and often their machines are well built and fun to watch, but they don't work. I've built some like you suggest. My math calculations were just so perfect, perfectly wrong. But keep thinking and searching, I will. even though it is like the "pot of gold" at the end of a rainbow.
@@bill-wr6tb say you use solar to lift and store more fluid in a resevor during the day, charge up batteries with the excess, let it run during the night from the resevor or when the grid is out.... hows the efficency on it look?
i dont get it. what is the heavy bricks for? also it takes a lot of energy to put water in the totes on top unless its from the roof. also the pump would use more power than you would get right
The bricks are a counter weight when lowering the carriage. The carriage is around a hundred pounds and the counter weight offsets the wasted energy tilting up the water filled carriage. Plus when lowering the carriage it makes it easy to lower. Carriage weight minus counterweight leaves around twenty to thirty pounds to control when it is lowered. If the carriage and contents are to be dropped, as in many of my non hydro examples, a counter weight isn't needed. Pumps have a height that they pump efficiently. The amount of energy put into pumping the water back and for to the tilting action is a little over the energy needed to lift it. Unfortunately, it is not over unity ha! Check out the videos on my RU-vid channel or website to get a better understanding of how the Lifter works.. This video starts with the carriage and contents already up the vertical support.
that is overengineered, i think a ratchet mechanism with a simple dc motor powered by the solar panels, and some gearbox can lift the weight more efficiently, safer, and with less maintenance, this thing kills itself with all the jiggling and impacts and friction occuring at every step. you come back in the evening and everything is broken. 🤣
Do you think this would produce more energy if it were in the shape of an actual wheel? I'm thinking that there would be additional leverage created from the center axis point which would produce more torque. It's just a thought. Any relevant comments are welcome to enhance the knowledge of the RU-vid community. Pretty cool working concept!
The way you extract the energy from the raised weight is really up to builder. In this case a larger wheel would require more building material and the wheel would be large unless you let the water fall into the buckets from the storage height. The energy stored can be released quickly or slowly. The torque would be dependent on the amount of water in the buckets, the number of buckets and how fast you want to use it. Big wheel, small buckets, lots of buckets or small wheel, large buckets, less buckets. As long as the torque is enough to turn the generator you will be halfway there. Thanks for giving it some thought and watching.
Here I used a wheel, small, but it was large enough and easily controlled by varying the water rate hitting it and the delivery point is at the end of a hose. I like hydro. It is easy to vary and deliver the force delivered. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VKl2Yu8NVVE.html and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eNrZLC_Jyp4.html
@@bclifters Absolutely! The way you did this was very impressive and will be used as a guide when I get around to building this project in my own way. Maybe I'll even post it so the world can see it! Thanks again for posting.
Good work, improve loads shape, use Gym weights (shape in circle with a iron rod fixed in centre or rolling pin shape load ), it will improve movement of charge and discharge load, use u shape hooks on both sides chain for moving up and down of load to hold load easily, use at-least 5 or 6 loads on discharge lane side and use the discharge lane gravity power to shift loads up one by one in such a way tht when one came down and released, the time one is shifted up and released.
This video has just increase the market value for used Amusement park Ferris wheels!Oops did I just let the cat out of the bag? Great project dude keep up the good work! 👍
What about hooking a low powered water pump to it so the water from the bottom could be pumped back to the top heck maybe even a mechanical one using gears and belts then it could run continuously until the water evaporated 😏
Oh how I wish that was possible. Remember that the efficiency of your machine is less than 100%. You can't get more energy out than you put in. That doesn't stop the endless flow of ideas on how to over come this problem from showing up on youtube. (Spinning magnets and wheels, generators turning motors and motors generators, floating and sinking air filled containers, etc.) I like trying myself sometimes, just to see where the fault is. Keep thinking. 😎
Just found out about ram pumps they can supposedly pump water uphill The only catch is how to collect the water they gush out and how to divert it back to a tank that feeds back to the lower tank and it can then feed the upper tank you’d probably need 2 ram pumps no idea how you’d hook it all up but it may be possible
Kinda cool to bad u couldn’t have this setup then have the overflow fill the buckets on your invention to get more energy out of the water then if it were realistically possible to hook up that ram pump and it works pump the water back to the top and start the process over again or even power another gravity generator This stuff really interests me but I know true perpetual motion is impossible but near is until the flywheel looses energy or the battery slowly runs out of stored power until the motion is unable to power it anymore it’s still fun to see what people come up with Your invention I think is smart to bad it couldn’t be done in large scale to power cities maybe not even using water but sand or weights but it would still need a person manning it to refill the top reservoir but it could be a source of clean energy even if water ran to low to run turbines ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zHwSubmVYp4.html
I agree, these pumps are really unique. Watching them work, looks like magic. I thought there might be some way to use them in a Lifter, and you could, but if you have a flowing body of water then you have a ready made source of energy and there are several methods of utilizing it. Take a look at these and try to understand why they don’t work. Once you start seeing the flaws in these you will be able to apply the same logic to your own and other energy conversion methods that claim to be near or over unity.

I am certainly no engineer. But I really love watching your videos. And it is impressive to see on your website that you have done so much research and engineering to accomplish so much.
The containers hold around 30 gallons each. That would be about 480 pounds total (8 pounds per gallon). This would be almost 4000 ft-lbs at 8 feet. This converts as 1 ft-lb = 0.00037661609675872 Wh. So if the potential energy was drained off in one hour it would be 1.5 watt hours. The output is enough to provide voltage and current for several small LED lamps. Increase the height and/or the size of the filled containers and you will increase the potential energy available. Increasing or decreasing the flow rate of the extracted water will like wise change the amount of voltage and current coming from the generator. Once you determine the amount of output and time of use, you calculate the foot pounds required. From this output value the weight and height of the potential energy needed can be determined to produce it. So the calculated value is the ideal amount needed, but the generator produces back EMF when attached to a load and the loaded and unloaded torque needed to turn it has to be taken into account as well as the over all efficiency of the extraction process.
Belo projeto, no caso aumentar a quantidade de engrenagem para obter uns 7000 rpm e depois baixar para uns 3 mil obter torque para puxa um alternado e usar uma bomba de água para pega a água do recipiente coletor e joga pra cima, em um projeto de maior proporção ajudaria lugares isolados a ter energia.
No new projects yet. I did print out gears for a 90:1 transfer on the drop assembly and fixed the hold and release mechanism delivering blocks. Both fixes have worked really well. I'll probably put up some pics on the website (bclifters.com) before I disassemble it. Only real issue are the rollers on the blocks. These proof-of-concept projects are temporary. Parts and space get reused. Always hate to tear one down. I need a bigger garage.
Love the idea. Have you thought about using a liquid instead of concrete blocks? You could get a small solar panel w/ a battery and connect it to a water pump and your loader would be much lighter to handle. I hope this helps.
I used water in a proof-of-concept, storing solar energy using a Lifter. See this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Rp_7wIlgMCI.html and others on my youtube channel or website (bclifters.com) I like water as a storage material. It is easy and a bit more efficient to extract the amount of energy you want without going through a lot of heavy reduction gearing.
They are used as a counter weight when lowering the carriage. The carriage is around a hundred pounds and the counter weight offsets the wasted energy tilting up the water filled carriage. Plus when lowering the carriage it makes it easy to lower. Carriage weight minus counterweight leaves around twenty to thirty pounds to control when it is lowered.
Actually..I thought about gravity battery..ok..but your system being complexity... counter loading is acceptable...but better need roping ratio.. which is much effortless..so that...the main primover doesn't lose its possessed energy level...I had try s design..on paper..
