Counterbalance Mechanisms

Demonstrations of counterbalance mechanisms

[@Ponk_80]

I really love the old videos on youtube, they were so much more down to earth.

[@jackdanels7]

I was listenig "Eye of the Tiger" on Spotify, paused the music to play the video. My mind exploded...

[@bikefarmtaiwan1800]

Good job Gene! Very creative- no wonder you look as proud of your work as you do. Very interesting and useful.

[@tcratius1748]

They are great, any chance you would share in more detail how these work.

[@leepu747]

Very informative Sir. I need all details

[@RovanRCTube]

So you could repeatedly raise heavy objects with very little energy cost. Put a scale on a platform that would calculate the balance. Could be done with a simple micro processor, a scale and a stepper motor to adjust it.

[@kunalvyas8172]

lifts work with the same principle

[@melody3741]

Yeah everywhere that needs this already works this way

[@PatrykPabo]

superb, if you can please share more infos. thx!

[@heartminer5487]

not sure if I'm right but the mechanism could not adjust to new load easily on the fly. say if the pendulum is at the upright position, then adjusting for the compesation would take a lot of force.

[@Ponk_80]

wow science is so amazing

[@rodrigoruiz4345]

Gene, you are a hack!! amazing!!

[@garrettgallardo4812]

Wow awesome video. Is it possible to completely or almost completely prevent the load from shifting. Say jumping up and down I want the load to stay centered.

[@nicktollison3306]

I think the way you develop the adjustment is awesome! I am interested in building a counterbalance mechanism. However not exactly how you developed your linear model. I would like to create a counterbalance mechanism that moves vertical and set in any desired position. Is there a reference on how you build your linear model that you could refer me to?

[@MrDrewski1974]

HI. Did you find a solution? you can mail me

[@MarbleStairsIreland]

Hi Jene, Is there a charge for more info on your mechanisms?

[@MrPavaroti]

can I purchase the linear counterbalance mechanism?

[@mastermindnaveen]

How does this work?

[@ngoctuannguyen5968]

Can you please show me how to design the cam? Thank you very much

[@ianhickey4328]

how do i make one of these?

[@philippjonathan4699]

Hey, look great.... especially the rotary counterbalance mechanism... I am just wondering how the counterbalance spring force is acting to the rotary weighted arm ? ...since the spring doesn,t move... I would love if you could let me know how it works... keep thinking about it :)

[@Tadesan]

I would also like to know why the spring doesn't move. Referencing a patent number is a dick move. I hope you fail.

[@helpmeimconfused]

@@Tadesan what happened here

[@macknolen3286]

Any of the commenters here get a response or find any other resources for designing/building similar mechanisms?

[@dsdf5200]

если менять натяжение пружины, в нижней точке положения груза, для балансировки груза то, устройство будет работать как гравитационный двигатель.

[@lindaellison899]

cool!

[@genminthang_Khongsai]

Why am i seeing this now? Why not 10 yrs ago?

[@КатеринаДонець-б2с]

почему в первом случае пружина не двигается? как это может быть

[@kenschneider4039]

Hi Gene, I was wondering how you achieve constant linear counterbalance. I'm working on a project where I need to provide this type of counterbalance over about 40 inches of travel. Can your mechanism work for this much travel?

[@Shadow__X]

Probably a bit too late but he uses a cam with varying diameter to account for the increasing spring force while it stretches

[@heartminer5487]

did you look into his patent? it makes no sense how it could adjust to new weight and could still balance for 360. even in his patent description he says it couldn't.

[@Shadow__X]

@@heartminer5487 and how the spring didn't move at all while turning is really suspicious

[@heartminer5487]

​@@Shadow__X the stationary cam+spring was a second stage balancer for counterbalancing the adjustment force for the first stage counterbalance. it doesn't connect directly to the pendulum.

[@reevesrowan3861]

@@heartminer5487 What patent is it? I need to look at it

[@-T-H-E-H-O-U-N-D]

Gene I’d like to visit with you about your counterbalance mechanism. Would you reach out to me directly? Thanks

[@xerlexfores8936]

ilove it

[@ScaVeZZaClave]

uuuu... that's a fucking good work! well done

[@movax20h]

What is this magic.

[@jareddempster3614]

Guys you can google his patents...

[@PhuongLe-st5wd]

hi. What is the name of his patents? And where can I find them? Could you help me finding the link of his patents? Thanks in advance

interesting
