I'm an experienced mechanical engineer. I've designed similar mechanisms in the past, like a perpetual machine, a portable escalator, and a water-based motor for boats. If I'm selected to be the design engineer, I will include in my proposal different designs to let you have the option to select a design based on comparison of parameters. Please feel free to message me, if you'd like to discuss further details.
