What's the big idea?

Since all the facts came out in the Q&A here’s the condensed version: We take 300 pounds spinning at 3600rpm (kinetic energy). Spinning a generator (electrical energy). Running a motor (conservation of energy). In an endless loop self and contained and self limiting. And for the second generation, I’m thinking we build in copper coils and magnets and have a built in generator. I’d like to thank the people at Start Garden and the people who made me think it through. Admittedly it’s a thought experiment. But no one has claimed that 5$ reward for proving it wrong. That’s a good sign. Thanks.

Describe the nearest player in your field.

I haven’t been through the patent records .But I don’t think there’s any competition for this one. I’ve been looking through the videos posted by my nemesis /ally Greg , there’s a guy in France who made a perpetual motion machine the size of a ferrous wheel . Massive overkill. And Greg’s project

How are you different from that player?

While Greg is * trying * to shoot holes in my idea but I may be able to help him . If it’s not too late seeing as it’s already built . Suggestions to follow in Q&A text .

How does this idea scale into a big business?

It’s begging to be a global company. Now that the cat’s out of the bag . Once we have the working prototype we could use plastic (Styrofoam) injection Machines to make the patterns . Then the sky’s the limit . Everyone can have one , plus one for the car . Buildings could have the upsized version .

Why are you the one to run with this idea?

Once I got the working prototype we can gear up for world wide demand. We can keep the maximum people working at the pant to see to the demand. I don’t want to get to far ahead but they’ll be plenty of offshoot jobs. Delivery people come to mind. And sales will skyrocket once it catches on.

What is a $5,000 experiment you can do to move your idea forward?

With you behind me I can approach these companies a pattern shop, a foundry and a milling shop. I can get estimates on the cost of the prototype. And if it falls in the 5K range seeing is believing. It could be done within three miles of Start Garden .
