Hi, there. May I come in? This is still my best invented stuff to deal in the momment.Pls ask whatever you want. My very first proto is unfinished, unfortunately, due to budget questions. In this case, Andrew, there are no dark clues, gossips or triks. If someone finds avalanchedrive will not work, it's because he couldn't understand. This is my challenge, doesn't matter who says. A nice CAD draw should be also great! If you have anything to ask, pls do it. I'm pleasant to know about your interest. MY DEVICE WILL WORK, AND VERY SOON, I HOPE. IT'S A QUESTION OF TIME FLOW, NOTHING ELSE.Best regs. Murilo sp out/22
: I can't see any posts about this device, but it mystifies me. One thing is that the inventor never finished it. That's a clue. Did he realise something? Also, there are small hooks, and if you look carefully at the diagram, one of the wheels on the lower hub is coloured black, and that is the point where the hooked rods fall off and allow the chain to expand.
: I started out trying to understand this by saying to myself that it would seek the state of least potential energy, and thus end up with the compressed chain at the bottom, and the uncompressed chain at the top, like rocks falling through water to the bottom. But that can't happen, because the chain is automatically decompressed as it enters the rising column, which is guaranteed to only contain uncompressed links.
: Someone put me out of my agony? :/
