First of all I would like to apologize for the crudeness of the picture, don't have many tools to work with or time at the moment so it is the best I could do. Of course this is just to illustrate the basic concept of what I am trying to get and there would be numerous flaws with this design...
Thanks for your contribution, Nascent Oxygen. The more responses I get the more I realize how vague I was with my question lol this is starting to get very specific. For my purposes, a modern turbine or windmill or such a device would not work. It does provide the function I asked for but that...
I will have to look into that in more detail tomorrow, Danger. I am not familiar with the inner workings of the device you mentioned. However, if that does not meet specifications I am beginning to form a concept in my mind that I will make a sketch of tomorrow that I will upload. Any critique...
The device would need to operate as long as energy is being put into it. I thought a device for converting a linear motion would have to have a back and forth motion to continue operating without becoming impractical as demonstrated by the wheel moving across a plane. The device would need to...
While that would work it would become very impractical after a certain point. The device would need operate indefinetley as long as there is being energy put into it. That would require a very very long plane.
I am sorry I should have stated the question more clearly. Let me give an example: I am pulling back on a rope attached to a device, the device would convert the backwards pulling motion into a rotary(or any other motion for that matter) motion and for instance spin a wheel attached to the...
I'm not sure what picture you are talking about, but if I am not mistaken the water would not actually compress(I don't think you can have compressed water under normal circumstances, but I am probably wrong), but rather the air in the pipe is pressurized. When the air is pressurized it will try...
I believe this may have been over complicated. I don't know a whole lot about physics (that's why I am here) but put more simply I believe the original question was where does the energy come from that increases kinetic energy and velocity. First, I don't think we can assume that kinetic energy...
Does there exist a device to convert a unidirectional linear motion into a rotational motion? I have only been able to find devices which do the exact opposite. I am probably missing out on some kind of key point here but I don't have much of a background in physics so please don't slam me too...
