A hollowed out and rifled cylinder of metal on a 360 degree swivel with a horizontal axis (part A)

A male skrew counter-piece with a positive magnet at both ends (part B)

An arch shape consisting of an inner lining of magnets half positive on one side and negative on the other (part C)

(part A) is 10 feet long with a base diameter of 2 feet, and is hollowed for 1 1/2 feet of its diameter.

(part B) is 20 feet long with a base diameter of 1 1/2 feet.

B fits in A's hollowed out section; (like twisting the top of a bottle of soda on or off) B skrews into the rifled out interior of A.

The upper side and lower side of the lips of B's skrew design (the walls of B) are lubricated as is A's rifle grooves.

area 3 (the roof of B) and area 2 (the floor of A) touch and create friction as gravity pulls entire B spiraling down through the center of A. A lubricant, hydrolic or air cusion type pocket, between area 1 and 4 (the walls of A and B) keep entire piece B moving downward with less hindrance of momentum.

.part B twists through part A as gravity pulls it down
.when more than 80% of part B has passed through part A it reaches a point where part C, a large arch shaped negative magnet
.(2) pulls part B's magnetic end
.(1) causing part A to swivel on its axis represented by D a complete 180 degrees, at which time the process repeats
.as B passes through A it causes friction which is collected.

Have you created a prototype or it is an Idea at the moment?

If I pick up your idea correctly are you hoping to create heat through friction with this?

If you do you have to heat up all the elements of the device including any air or lubricant, which is energy wasted then you would have to produce enough energy to boil water and use the steam to turn a turbine.

Where will the water be heated?

It would seem to me that part of the device or all of it has to be in water to take away the heat?

How quick will the device make the turn as its fessible by the time a full rotation happened heat could have dissapaited from the top/bottom of the device meaning more of your energy has to be used to heat it back up again.

I love alternate ways to create energy its just that these kind of considerations and questions need to be raised/asked
