I realized that while building your energy storage system you could be utilizing chained pulleys ("block and tackle") to increase your mechanical advantage, which would let you use a heavier weight! With a few more pulleys you should be able to store dramatically more power in a shorter tower. SmarterEveryDay has a fantastic video on pulleys if you wanna read up on it.

If you use a worm gear on the windmill input, it would automatically lock itself if there's no wind since worm gears can't be back driven. You could also use a governor to limit the speed of the locomotive so that excess wind energy could be diverted to the elevator while the locomotive is still running without the need for switching.

This could be enhanced with a bank of kinetic batteries, probably a 1x2 or 2x2 combination (i.e. when 1 is charged to the top it flicks a switch to charge another, and only 1 discharges at a time). Other comments have mentioned train operation and battery charging simultaneously, and use of water wheel functionality as well as combined with wind and gravity, with a few tweaks this could come close to a perpetual sustainable machine.

@BrickTechnology 2 жыл бұрын

That would be possible, you could add many wind turbines and many batteries and connect them with differentials, no switch needed. If one does not charge anymore, the next will charge through the differential. Water would work too.
