The final
testing I did on the Spiral Generator did not have the system working
as I had anticipated so I went back to the mechanical devices I had
built to see where I went wrong.
In going back to the mechanical devices I found that I could use some of my old test setups in a new way that allowed me as the operator to extract usable work from the device for no cost to me. It was this change in observation that I did not understand and therefor could not apply to the Spiral Generator.
I made a simulation of these conditions and interactions which I have posted on my forum, the link in the left pane.
