input section

[webby2]

this is a pic of the sketcher I used to make the input section

with the appropriate modifications to the input section I think it will work just like the Skinner device.

With what I am seeing with my test-bed so far it would seem that the Skinner device was not using Earths gravity per-say but rather using a "broken column".

So many ways to play with this is kind of both fun and overwhelming at times.

Right now I have it setup so that I put an input in on one end and if I take a torque out of the other end there is a large load,, but if I take the torque out from the other other end there is almost no load increase,, kind of strange  

I had it setup so that I could combine 2 constant force inputs, say like CP, and have them provide an output that was not the same thing,, that is interesting as well.

I ordered parts to build 4 test-beds, the motors that I will be using as generators are not overly efficient but I hope they will demonstrate things good enough.

I have come to what my final design is going to be,, but things some times just go wrong.

One of my printers is having issues with quality of prints and the other one just blew its power supply,,, life

I have a psu for the one printer and made some tweaks to the other so that the prints are at least usable.

I have it setup up right now so that the system should be a standard through-put, that is what I put in is what I get out end to end with the output coming out around the middle of the system, I was looking into a feedback area to see what is what there, anyway, I did something stupid ,like normal, and all of a sudden the cost of input seemed to drop a lot, I could understand it from the other side from where I was putting it in but not from the side I was,,

Very interesting.
