Hi All,

Here is a little experiment with John H. Bramkamp ideas.

Here is some amazing footage of his actual ride at Luna Park/Coney Island/ 1920-29

The weights are a 31lb 24" diameter iron saw blade and 25lb weight 11.5" diameter. Using a small motor attached to a 10" arm running around the top can precess the weight of 56lbs with very little load to the drive motor.

The motion is amusing but on average there isn't any external work being done.

Cute.

But let me remind you: An "experiment" is a system whereby the Experimenter varies one or more Independent Variables and examines their effect on one or more Dependent Variables, controlling or equalizing all other "third variables", in order to establish a cause-and-effect relationship in the hopes of supporting or failing to support a well-formulated testable hypothesis.

In contrast to a "demonstration", which seems to be what is happening in the video. What's the hypothesis, what is being varied, what is the effect, on what dependent variable?

Whatever do you mean? Can't you hear the noise and vibration? Imagine the drive motor heating up? Power is being dissipated, that's for sure.

The Top as it was called. I posted about that a while back but I do like your test. I haven't got to any of my test I planned for it. To many trips to the VA.

Here is the string that I posted on Bessler's Wheel. I am still looking for the one here on Over Unity.
