Primary Corkscrew Device

October 7, 2019.

I cast a critical eye on magnet designs, but here is another of the very few for which I would entertain a mild possibility.

It is based on work by '7 Trumpets Prepper' (Youtube Channel) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=304hLNRuP0A

Essentially,

My variation has it that instead of a triangle of magnets uselessly directed at further magnets, instead...

A light counterweight at long distance would oppose a centrally-vertically-rotating corkscrew wire over a balance. The corkscrew would be at a shorter distance from the fulcrum and relatively heavy but not excessively so.

A stiff protruding narrow C-clasp would be fixed to the side of the corkscrew, mounted to some sort of side structure but not attached to the corkscrew.

As the corkscrew rises supported by the stiff wire, a horizontal protrusion radiating from the dead-end of the corkscrew horizontal and perpendicular to the spiral would follow a slowly rising circular track, also fixed around the mobile corkscrew.

However, when the corkscrew has rotated 360 degrees horizontally and the short end has risen to its height, the horizontal protrusion which is slightly weighted, reaches a point of free-fall (due to the limit of only slightly less than one horizontal loop), so that, since the heavier end no longer has the effect of 1/2 mass * distance, it is now able to lift the small counterweight on the end of the lever and return to its initial position, beginning the cycle again.

Note, It was found this device didn't need magnets.
