here's another interesting one... uses a pendulum to move a lever that does work without damping the oscillations of the pendulum... claims to output more power than is needed to maintain the pendulum swinging...
Excellent! Long video but well worth watching. Perhaps I can use this method on my boat to capture energy from the rocking motion and turn it into electricity. Thanks for posting it.
Very interesting to see that video. Yes on a boat or atop a very tall building, some of the largest buildings in the world use a pendulum to dampen the motion of the winds on he building and could be re-engineered to generate power to the building as well...Hummmmmm?
