1) A high school student has designed a simple gravity drive that uses the energy from a small lift of a ball or coin on a wheel to create a large rotation of the wheel. 2) The design involves popping a ball or coin out of the wheel at a 10.55 position, allowing it to fall and drive the wheel most of the way around, then lifting it back to the 12.01 start position, extracting more energy out than was used for the small lift. 3) The student proposes that the design could be easily built by any high school and could generate up to 1kw per hour of power, enough to run a small device or caravan.

A high school build gravity drive.
I can beat Newton a dozen times over. This math cannot be beaten not by any engineer in
the world and every high school student will understand this one in less than 60 seconds.
Gravity drives are easy to build I have designed dozens that all work, and the math is
undisputed, some harder to understand but this one is simple. For schools to build.
If you tape a coin to a bicycle wheel at 12.01 position, the energy used is lifting the coin
from ground up the middle in a straight line, now if you let it go it will fall and drive the
wheel around to 11 o’clock correct? if it is a ball sitting in a socket hole and a solenoid
simply pops it out at 10.55, (its like popping it out with your finger)how far does the ball
now have to be lifted back to 12.01?
So you see the now small lift each time creates a 80 percent rotation output for a 20-25%
lift requirement each time. So more energy out than in, The ball simply rolls down a very
slight incline to the middle of the wheel level with about 10.45 on a clock, to be lifted back
up the short distance to start. Every high school in the world can build that easily. The
weight of a shot-put ball or similar would run out at about 1kw per hour, based on a
current wind turbine at higher speed but lesser power equivalent, really a science toy or
enough to run a caravan. It is envisaged that 2 balls can run simultaneously. The second
coming in as the other is opposite at 6.05
How do you build a lifter? I would simply have the ball that exits the wheel roll centre but
also rear, so it is now at 10.30 height wise but at rear position at 45 degree angle ramp to
the 12.05 position and simply use a second solenoid to fire it up the 20 percent into the
wheel. This way timing can also be automated.. The start position at the rear can also be
magazine fed, or more than one ball waiting to accommodate a fast spinning wheel not
having to wait for the first ball to roll down the incline.
