"You absolutely can use gravity to augment a system and add power during its downward descent. Unfortunately you have to put energy into that system to lift the object in the first placed."
Yes I would lift the weight once myself.Drop it once and the system will auto engage and disengage.Gravity will do the work for the rest of the time. Im not trying to prove Im right. I need help and it seems plausible is all.
"You absolutely can use gravity to augment a system and add power during its downward descent."
So as long as the unit can auto engage and disengage we can augment the power conserved through gravity alone to rectify any loss through friction (pully system, Gears and clock spring metal fatigue --- a few ex) ?
My gear system wich has one gear that is like a drill bit moving the shaft back and forth and fully spinable due to bearing installed on shaft were gear connects.
