Ok, I think i see what you're saying; since they are the same weight the pull of gavity applied to the higher bag is not enough to overcome the pull of gravity to the lower bag, right??
Can you explain why it won't work? Or possibly how long it will work before the energy dissipates. I don't need true perpetual motion, just about 8 hours of it to get through the frost hours of the night.
yes, sounds like perpetual motion is the correct name for it. Thanks! The purpose is to generate wind to circulate air in a vineyard to reduce the risk of frost.
Think of the spindle as a pully, one bag goes up, the other comes down due to gravity. Is there a weight where the force of the...
The rope attached to the sandbags is wrapped around the spindle, as one sandbag falls it turns the spindle one direction. When that sandbag reachest the top, gravity pulls the sandbag down, propelling the other to the top and turning the spindle in the other direction.

Situation:
Two sandbags are attached by a rope to a spindle suspended off the ground 15 feet. When one sandbag is raised to the top and dropped it propels the other sandbag up. When the second sandbag reaches the top it falls and pulls the first sandbag back up. Assume the rope is short enough...
