Question

Asked by: Ted Pittman
Subject: GammaMax Pulley system
Question: · The engine is connected to four chains which are connected to one chain.
· That chain is connected to a hook and a poly-cord (= Non-stretchable).
· The cord goes over a skateboard wheel ( which can rotate very freely).
· The cord goes to a second wheel and down through three rigid wires to a bucket of sand+.
· The weight of the bucket of sand (and support wires) matches the weight of the engine (+ chains).

 Dear Ted,

I am sorry but I cannot understand. What exactly is it that you think this video shows?

 It shows the top of a Gamma Drive device on one end and a bucket of sand on the other end.
The device + chains weighs exactly the same as the bucket of sand and its support wires.
