Gravitator - home made tests

In this page I have collect home made tests that I have made. What I'm looking after these is to test different parts of Gravitator. Currently I have tested these areas

  • lifting up water
  • balance in Gravitator

Gravitator - lifting water

Below is a picture where I have fill two tanks with water and put 100 kg on these tanks. This system can lift the water up to 115 cm using two tubes.

In gravitator there is one force more to lift up the water - negative pressure. This is something that is not been tested but in general it will increase flow or height of this test.

Below is picture of the tube I used in this test.

Gravitator - balance tests

With these test I tested the balance of Gravitator when two tanks (canister) are

  1. empty
  2. little lighter (one liter) than the weight (1,5 liter) that move the water (the Pepsi max in these picture)
  3. full (5 liters water)

What I'm looking after with these test is the balance when the system should be in start position and start to lift water up. The weights (pepsi max bottles) are placed in this test the same way they are in my drawings.
In this picture the tanks are empty.
In this picture the tanks have 1 liter water, which is less than the weight (pepsi maxi bottles) that emulates the weight that lift the water up. With this weight the system will not work.
In this picture the tanks are full (5 liters of water). And it seems to me that the balance is right. Now the system is in the position where it starts to move water from lower tank (corner down left) to upper tank (corner up right without a tank ;) ).

 

So it seems that the tanks must have at least more water than the weight that moves the water.

Hopefully this proves something... This is the best I can do.
