Gravity Motor Set for Public Debut Aug. 24, London
Young group of scientists has designed a wheel that uses gravity and
the kinetic force of spinning arms and firing bullets to generate output torque
that can be tapped for work. Working proof-of-concept demo to be unveiled.
Notice:
SPEGG Demo Delayed until October 27.
(As of Aug. 23, 1:00 am GMT)
NEVER MATERIALIZED!!! |

On August 24 in London, Environ Energy plans to
demonstrate what present science says is impossible: a gravity motor. They
have been announcing the event since at least February of this year.
Energy companies, reporters, and large electricity users have been invited to
the unveiling.
Environ Energy advertises that they will be able to produce generators that
range from between 10 kilowatts, enough to power a home, up to 2 gigawatts,
which is the output of a large power plant.
The wheel is called the Waranlinc Wheel when on its own and called SPEGG
(Semi-Perpetual Electrical Gravitational Generator) when connected to a
generator. Environ Energy claims that "SPEGG uses no form of
conventional fuel to generate electricity. It generates electricity by
gravity and kinetic power only."
The Waranlinc Wheel is the brainchild of Courtney Bailey, developed over an
eight-year period from 1996 to present. Bailey filed a string of British Patent
Applications for the wheel and its subsystems. These applications occurred in
2000, 2001 and 2003.
According to Doug Derbes, who has been watching this company, the wheel uses
stainless steel external sliders, which are a linear air compressor pump.
The sliders compress the internal tanks, which then fire internal pnuematic
guns. The stainless steel bullets fired by these guns then rise to where they
are held to create gravity potential on the top of the wheel. The high mass of
the wheel and the high overbalance mass generate torque at low rpms.
At first glance, one would think that conventional laws of physics would predict
a net zero for such an arrangement.
Derbes claims that "the Kilowatt outputs available for the different sizes
are all based on well known mechanical engineering equations. The entire
Waranlinc wheel and its external and internal subsystems are a synthesis of
mechanical and pnuematic technologies. It is in essence a rotating air rifle
using an offset mass overbalance to achieve constant rotation."
"We have not created a new form of energy," says the Environ Energy
website. "All we have done is to take kinetic energy and store it at
one point (this has now become potential energy), and release it at another
point as mechanical energy. This is by way of gravity and kinetic
force."
The Waranlinc Wheel has 16 arms. Eight of the 16 arms has a
bullet in it, these bullets run backward and forward. When the
wheel spins, it avoids equilibrium. In other word one side of
the wheel is kept heavy at all times.
The main piston chamber spring is compressed on the up cycle and the
ram is locked. This is now stored energy.
The energy in the compressed chamber spring is released at the
firing point, propelling a bullet weight upwards to the to the top
where a one way gate is. This allows the bullet to go up but
not come down.
At the firing point the gate is kept open by two piston pushing down
on the gate arm. Once the arm is in the energy-stored position, the
piston reverts back into its hole.
The energy stored in the main piston chamber spring is made possible
by the large weight gliding up and down on the outer tube. The
weight is attached to a piston that run up and down in the hydraulic
chamber the kinetic movement of the outer weight is transferred via
the piston through a sets of rods and onto the main piston chamber
spring, which result in the ram arm locking (energy-stored).
The energy in the spring is released at the firing point when past
via two side rod, the two switch on the arm is pulled back there by
firing the bullet.
Starting the Waranlinc wheel is simple. The wheel is primed at
an angle, and the brake applied. This means the wheel is
unable to spin. Once the brake is taken off the wheel begins
to spin. To stop the wheel, you apply the brakes.

Environ Energy's website has a
page set up on their site where they will be posting videos on the day of
the demonstration. They are also planning demos in the U.S. and Canada in
November, then later in Asia.
The company's website says they will not be selling licenses, and that
dealerships will only be granted to financially sound companies. They are
leasing, not selling units, with service being coordinated through dealers and
distributors.
