23. Perpetual Motion
Extending
weights and water transfer
The stationary
sector gear, A, rolls the small pinions which, by a rod connection with
the following edge of the hinged weights on the periphery of the wheel,
tilt the weights upward and outward, making a preponderance on that
side of the wheel. The same operation also opens and closes a series of
water bags on the inner rim of the wheel, each bag being connected to
the opposite bag by a tube, thus adding additional weight to the
right-hand side of the wheel.
