Sub Notes
The Hydraulic motors used on the device's are used on bucket excavators, that need very high torque enclosed motors to churn up tons of rock.
The finished lever positions will require more R&D to find the best options.
There is so many variables and ratios that more R&D is needed to find the best options.
The First Path is the little energy that is needed to rotate the balanced lever system? that is less than 3.5% off its true balance, the levers weight on the lever pivots on one side of the wheel, would be equal and opposite to the levers weight on the pivots on the other side, and that a lever wheel will balance.
All of the falling levers energy's can be combined to drive the device, this is the second path, the falling levers kinetic energy's, would work together in unison to drive a 1 directional propulsion system.
The second path makes more energy than is needed for the first path.
This led to the discovered of the Multi Lever Phenomenon.
Turn a balanced Load, the multi lever system, and in exchange harvest all the falling levers kinetic energy's, it is just that simple.

The lever wheel pictured is less than 3.5 % off the true balance and takes a very little force to rotate.

Inventions that use my discovery, the Multi Lever Phenomenon,
The Falkirk Wheel Scenario's,
One
The Worlds most Efficient Hydraulic Pump.
Figure 1 copy.
1. See Figure 1, Scale up the wheel, levers, and weights, to match the Falkirk Wheels 600 ton payload.
2. Add hydraulic master cylinders to tap the levers kinetic energy, see figure 2,
3. Add the Falkirk wheels externally fed 22.5 KW drive system to rotate the levers, that is the first path (energy input start). This will start a cascade of falling levers, which is the second path, gravity's input energy, thus there are two energy inputs.
The Falkirk Wheel is driven by a 22.5 KW electric hydraulic pump that can produce 60 litres of 350 bar hydraulic fluid per minute, it takes 10 minutes to rotate the wheel 360 degrees, that then equals 600 litres of 350 bar hydraulic fluid to rotate a 800 ton near balanced wheel 35 metres in diameter one turn.
4. Add hydraulic high pressure swivels at each end of the lever wheel, for the hydraulic fluid to flow and return, this is to tap of the kinetic energy from the falling levers, that pump the hydraulic master cylinders, this is the second path, the input energy of gravity produces this kinetic energy input when the levers are rotated every 180 degrees. The lever system creates 1,587 litres of 350 bar hydraulic fluid per one rotation. To drive the levers one rotation only requires 600 litres of fluid. That then is a surplus of 987 litres of 350 bar high pressure hydraulic fluid per each rotation, this can be used to do work. This is a pump with an input of 600 litres, and an output of 1,587 litres, how many pumps can do that? but then again how many pumps are Gravity Assisted. The pump is over unity when looking at the path 1, input energy, but the pump is only about 50% efficient when path 2, gravities input energy is also added to path one. Thus there is no over unity, just mechanical advantage gained from leverage and gravity, this is responsible for the greater output.
Note, My preferred option is the Falkirk Wheel Scenario One, with a external supplied hydraulic pump and motors, and use the lever wheel as a Pump, and then use the surplus Hydraulic fluid to drive motors, to drive a electrical generator, it would be easer to maintain with less parts mounted on the wheel, it would also be easer to stop and start. I do not spend a lot of time on this invention, as I hope to supersede it with my new ones, but if they do not work, I will then perfect the Multi Lever Phenomenon, its still better than wind wave, and solar.
The Falkirk Wheel Scenario's,
two, prime and self drive option,
Shown below (figure 1) is an experiment that led to the discovery of the Multi Lever Phenomenon, if this lever system is scaled up to the size of the Falkirk Wheel, and hydraulic systems are added to tap the leverage force, then energy can be tapped from gravity, that means gravity is the input fuel that will be converted to drive Electrical generators, if you are sceptical then check out my calculations, and look at the hydraulic fluid volumes created by the levers, then look at the specific torque of the hydraulic motors used to drive the wheel, then see the Falkirk Wheel to see how very little energy is required to rotate a 35 metre wheel with a 600 ton payload for one turn, it takes roughly the same energy as it would to boil 16 kettles!.
Figure 1, shows the wheel at balance point,
1. Scale up this wheel, levers, and weights to match the Falkirk Wheels 600 ton payload.
2. Add hydraulic master cylinders to tap the levers kinetic energy, see figure 2,
3. Add hydraulic accumulators to store the levers kinetic energy's,
4. Add hydraulic motors to rotate the wheel with surplus toque.
5. Add an Electrical Generator to use up the surplus rotary torque ( free energy ), this then is 24 hour sustainable electricity generation.
Figure 2 shows the lever operated Master cylinders pumping system, wherein FP = the Fulcrum Pivot of the levers connection which takes the form of a full size bearing to spread the load, KS = the Crank Shaft that transfers the leverage of the levers to the Master Cylinders, MC = the Master Cylinders, that converts the levers kinetic energy into high pressure hydraulic energy L = the Levers, W = the Levers Weight, NRV = the Non Return Valves, PRV = Pressure Release Valves, these may not be necessary because of the force required to fill the High Pressure Hydraulic Accumulators.

L
The Levers Master Cylinders discharge into a high pressure Hydraulic
Accumulators that are part of a flow and return system, the system also
contains non return valves, and pressure release valves to prevent the
levers master cylinders discharging at low pressure. A low pressure
Hydraulic Accumulator is used as a sealed top up reservoir, to keep the
system sealed, this allows the hydraulic system and motors to rotate
with the lever systems on a static shaft.
Starting the rotary device. The device is rotated externally for one turn with the drive valves closed, this will charge the hydraulic systems, after this the rotary device will rotate by its self with one turn in hand, this is because the hydraulic accumulators hold enough high pressure hydraulic fluid to rotate the device one turn, and as soon as rotation starts levers fall and the high pressure fluid is replaced. There is more high pressure hydraulic fluid created than is required to rotate the device, so more hydraulic motors are used to turn this surplus hydraulic fluid into rotary torque to do work.
The lever Sums
Note, for all sums give or take 10%.
See figures 1 and 2, The primary leverage system comprises 32 weighted
levers, the length of each levers is 5 metres from the centre of the
fulcrum pivot to the weight, this make a leverage ratio of 10 to 1, the
weight at the end of the lever is 16.875 tons, that is 7.56 square
inches at 5,000 pounds per square inch of pressure, times 10 to 1
leverage this means the leverage force at the Hydraulic master
cylinders = 75.6 x 5,000 pounds per square inches (350 bar of pressure),
so the diameter of the master cylinder is 75.6 square inches wide and
its working depth is 20 inches or deeper, so the working volume of a
master cylinder is, 75.6 x 20 = 1,512 cubic inches x 16.4 cubic cm = 24,796.8 cubic cm at 350 bar of
pressure per master cylinder and there are 2 per lever, (the levers
operate twice in one rotation) so that is 2 x 32 =
64 x 24,796.8 = 1586995.2 cubed cm of hydraulic fluid at 350 bar, per 1 rotation of the
primary leverage system. That will drive 6 Hagglunds MB 4,000 Marathon
motors at half speed and half the torque, that would give 3,930 KNm (3,930 x 1,000 Newton metres) of rotary torque, see Marathon
motors fact sheet below. The lever wheel requires less than 600 KNm to
start the wheel rotating, so the surplus rotary torque can be used to do
work.
Note, also do your torque calculations, to see the large amount of imbalanced weight, that would be required to stall the 6 MB 4,000 Marathon motors, this imbalance could never happen because of the balanced nature of lever wheels, this is backed up by the multi lever phenomenon experiments.
The Falkirk wheel comparison
See Hagglunds motors and pump fact sheets below.
The Falkirk Wheel is driven by a 22.5 KW electric hydraulic pump that can produce 60 litres of 350 bar hydraulic fluid per minute, it takes 10 minutes to rotate the wheel 360 degrees, that then equals 600 litres of 350 bar hydraulic fluid to rotate a 800 ton near balanced wheel 35 metres in diameter one turn.
If my Lever Wheel is scaled up to 800 tons, and it would also be a near balance wheel, it must only require about the same amount of fluid (energy), as the Falkirk Wheel that is 600 litres of 350 bar hydraulic fluid to rotate it, but if my lever wheel is rotated one rotation, the lever system creates 1,587 litres of 350 bar hydraulic fluid, That then is a surplus of 987 litres of fluid per each rotation, and my lever wheel can rotate at 4 RPM that would create 6,348 litres of High pressure hydraulic fluid per minute, all of the surplus energy can be used to drive surplus hydraulic motors, to rotate the wheel with a very large surplus torque, the wheel can then drive Generators as well as self rotate, Free energy from Gravity.

Answers to possible questions
Where the Power comes from,
It is widely excepted that levers are over unity in force, but require a larger movement on one side, to create a smaller movement of greater force on the other side (leverage), the larger movement is free from gravity and counter balance in this device, so you end up with over unity in force, that is applied to a Hydraulic System, thus tapping the work done by gravity, and then using it to do work.
If the rotary device rotates slowly, then mechanical
advantage, (leverage forces ) is gained from gravity, this is because
the velocity of the force of gravity, can move the weighted lever section
a greater distance to create a smaller distance greater force
(leverage), thus a greater force is created that can do work. The
velocity of the force of gravity's 9.8 metres a second (Gravity's force
times distance travelled in time) creates the leverage force (the levers
force times distance travelled in time), this is due to gravity force
times the leverage ratio as gravity pulls down the levers on both sides
of the device, thus the leverage force is greater than the force
required to rotate the nearly balanced Rotary Device. Gravity has force
and velocity potential, force and velocity equals energy, energy is the Potential
to do work, this means no energy laws are broken. The sum of the
leverage forces created can be greater than the sum of force needed to
rotate the balanced device, look at the mass movement of all the falling levers
(all that kinetic energy) compared to the little energy required to
rotate the near balanced rotary device, this is not over unity but rotation
fuelled by gravity.
Note, if the velocity (rpm) effects the levers and the weights falling
with the rotation by the effect of losing weight (leverage force), the
opposite levers and their weights will have the effect of gaining weight
(leverage force) in equilibrium, so once the normal working velocity
(rpm) is established, the sizes of the relevant master cylinders can be
calibrated to compensate, alternatively chain link the opposite levers
crank shafts together in a reversing figure of 8, this will keep the
pairs of levers forces in equilibrium at any velocity. The aim is a
velocity of 8 rpm because there is a cut-off point when centrifugal
forces will destroy the leverage forces.
Note. Many levers are added together to make a Rotary Device and many
Rotary Devices may be added together to make a generator, which many
generators can be added together to make a power station, which many
power station can be added together to make national grids.
One of the main principles of my invention is that it
takes less energy to rotate a balanced load than it would to lift each
lever individually back to a working position. As the primary leverage
system is rotated, the levers on one side fall from position A, to
position B, but position B, is position A, when it reaches the opposite
side, so the levers are not lifted directly at all, they are simply
turned up side down again and again! they just keep on falling as
the near balanced primary leverage system is rotated! There for you must
look at the force required to rotate the complete primary leverage
system instead of looking at the force needed to lift individual levers.
Note, the above calculations have not taken into account the weight and
leverage of the levers them selves, or the friction of the hydraulic
cylinders, this is because it is considered the two will cancel each
other out. This would put friction losses at 10 percent with out
effecting the master cylinder output.
Note, You can basically pivot the levers anywhere on the rotary device
as long as they are in a balanced format, the restricting factors are
mainly their size and performance.
Note, the above calculations are based on scaled down models of the
primary leverage systems, using a number of different lever pivoting
options, one of the best option (see figure 1), less than 3.5% of the total weight of
the lever weights, placed at 2.00 O'clock on the rotary device’s outer
radius, rotated the device for half a rotation.
Note, to speed up the actions of the primary leverage systems and the
master cylinders, increase the lever weight percentage wise. This also
helps the levers falling with rotation, and allows the levers to be
shorter, and can reduce lever travel.
The Conclusion
The invention above are very complicated and engineering intensive in comparison to wind generators, however they would still be cheaper and more practical than, wind, tidal energy, and nuclear energy, and should be built as basis for more scientific research into creating 24 hour 7 days a week, free energy from gravity as my inventions prove it to be possible. See page one, The Hydro Kinetic Turbine, for the simple energy answer.
