Abstract: An offset weight-powered engine uses gravity to create an unbalanced net moment arm on the engine to overcome the moment of inertia and to produce rotational motion which is converted to energy out of the system. Weights on rotatable arms extend from peripheral points on the main body of the engine, which rotates on a main shaft. The weights are held off-vertical during in a stable, but unbalanced, configuration, to provide leverage and create an over-leveraged situation. This creates a rotational force generating torque and allowing the system to generate power. The rotating weights are maintained in an off-vertical position by a control system. A rotating control assembly holds those weighted arms in position, rotating in unison with the weight arms with a main shaft parallel but offset from the main shaft of the main body, and rotatable arms fixed to the weighted arms and compensating for the offset.
