Davis,
I agree. As a matter of fact, I don't see how anyone could go
to this site, study the contents, and think for a minute that it
is anything other than a scam.
I downloaded their AVI and used Premiere to loop a single revolution
multiple times for about ten seconds so I could get a closer look.
(if you want the MOV let me know and I will email it to you)
There is a gas powered air compressor sitting in the background
connected with hoses to a tank that's attached to the body of the
stand. The tank has hoses that connect to a cylinder at the bottom
which has a piston coming out of the top and connecting to the
flywheel.
The air driven piston arm is obviously pushing at timed intervals
to keep the flywheel turning. You can even hear the compressed air
escaping once per revolution.
Obvoiusly you could run a generator off the flywheel to power
lights because the wheel has an external source of power that
keeps it moving.
Even if they were to claim the wheel was doing all the pushing
on the piston, compressing the air, and storing it in the
attached tank, why would you need a running gas powered air
compressor attached to the same tank?
I also verified that you are correct about the site owner. The
public WHOIS information for this site is as follows:

Based on this one example I would tend to A) not believe much of
anything I found on this site, and B) avoid any site that made
such grand claims and offered them for sale for $15.95.
I mean, hey, if you were in it purely for the money then you'd
be able to provide a proven, verifyable working device to the US
patent office and then sell or license the technology for
multi millions, right? Why mess with a few dollars here and
there?
: Hello, I have just recently found some footage of a gravity powered rotating beam engine at
: http://www.fuellesspower.com/gravity.html
: HOWEVER, it all seemed to good to be true, my suspicians about the genuine nature of this claim and the extraordinary footage showing the thing in opperation were raised when I saw what looked like an air compressor behind the gravity motor, could this be the secret source of power? most likely. Not only that but this web site has many, many other free energy devices which it sell plans for and GAURANTEES all work! This sounded more and more like a Denis Lee or Joseph Newman scam every second. Not only that but I went to the Keelynet discussion board and typed in Rick Harrison, who is the inventor of all these supposedly working free energy devices and apparently Keelynet got together and bought a load of plans from him, none of which worked. They said as much on their web site, and Rick Harrison apparently threatened to sue Keelynet, Keelynet responded that they would be happy to go to court because it would give Rick Harrison a chance to proove that what he is selling actually works as claimed, Rick seems to have disapeared into obscurity after this.
