CG Showcase of Overbalanced Wheel

[infringer]

hrmmm reminds me of that older guy overseas who built the gigantic wheel in his backyard errr can't remember his name for some odd reason.

Anyhow interesting concept I wonder if this design has anything in common with the paradox engine seeing has how there is many spinning mediums.

Gyroscopic effects have a lot to teach us yet I believe.

Great sucess ! So it seems to run much better the more units you have in this wheel !
Does it also work in WM2D ? It is such a simple principle, but you first had to find it !
I hope that there will soon be some people, who will try to build this in a real world model ! Many thanks.

If you have problems with WM2D maybe better use the other

It is also now a free physics simulator and is newer and better than WM2D and is constantly
developed and also there is an IPAD version !

Looking forward to see someone build such a wheel and test it out in reality.
Happy Christmas !

Lim and I, have good communication relations and he has animated a few of my older wheels. I will build a test platform for 2 chambers and test reactions in real time, to get the weight ratios adjusted and see if the shifts are as shown on the simulation at there proper time needed. This IMHO will help clarify the possibilities.

hi stefan

thks for the recommendation of "algodoo", i'll look into it

greeting alan

hahaha my initial plan is to wait til next year then ask either you or ralph again for test and build, but hey i got myself a Christmas Gift. Thks for the volunteer testing, hopefully miracle can happen (it's Christmas...LOL)

don't think there's any common with the paradox engine as those "many spinning" is just a layout of many wheels (doesn't matter what type of driven wheels, can be wind-driven, water, etc)
