1939 Skinner Gravity engine startup and sync part 3

Getting closer to finally replicating the skinner gravity engine of 1939. tunned the mech up a little and it running like a sewing machine now much quieter then the first video.. Unless the motor is started very slowly the main shaft requires a push to get going, once spinning it quicky auto syncs with the mechanism. will add the extra weight at 90 degrees in the next video

the original skinner pathe news reel can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxIRaJlTD4Y

update…the original video was hard to disipher, it appears at first glance as if the shafts are wobbling side to side, and knocking the shaft off center at 0 and 180 degrees. This model faithfully does just that , and the machine weights do mover to their new center of gravity as a consequence…But it would seem that on the original the shafts are actually drawing an inverted cone in the air, with the point of the cone in gimbals…That would mean that the machine is tilting the table for all 360 degrees and not just 0 and 180 in my example..We are now making gimbals hopefully for video number 5
