Wheel vs. lever...

[iacob alex]

         Hi !

  Ok ! Let's say that this topic ("wheel vs. topic") is not substantial for us...

  Then,thinking that a wheel concept (or a lever one...) is made up,in a possible elementary design,as a repetitive addition of a certain number of identic spokes to a common hub,we can simplify our "search"...

  Now we have a single and final "minimum minimorum" type question:how is a spoke,a single one...

  This is all what we want,nothing more...

   ...as a face to face concepts counterpoise,to imagine a possible gravity device,is similar with the purpose ,to take away some power from a "frozen river" vs. to take power from a "free falling " spring/flow .

      For any wheel design,the free fall is allowed as much,as the distance between two successive spokes :more spokes,less free fall.

      For any water/wind mill,the first requirement is to have a free flow...

      For a gravity powered device , we have the same dependence !

......can be a "PM dilemma",in my opinion.

       This questionable attempt,was solved,in some way,in the art of flying.

       If you take a look at:   http://www.flyinggiants.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10595&page=4

         you can see,that an aircraft can use a propeller with a single blade...

       Then,why not to imagine, a possible PM with a single spoke!?

Why not just attach a flywheel to the side of the lever
Then you have the mechanical advantage
As well as the rotational momentum
