.....can be simplified , if we dismantle ,take apart all the arms of the wheel ( but not the two opposite ones !!!...) , the composite leverage of the wheel becoming a simple lever (age) problem put forward for consideration or solution  of a possible gravity continuous unbalanced ( SELF) motion.Play the size , also !

Mr. Ackerman never let the wheel spin more than 40% of a full turn. He always reverse it backwards a bit so it can rotate a bit more forward [ cw]  again and again. The wheel is heavier at the right side.

     So , if we dismantle the wheel ( but not two opposite spokes , only...) , the composite leverage of the "classic" wheel becomes a common lever(age)!...and let's hope that we can release the gravity free fall("flow")/unbalance , or "self"-rotation due to a continuous gravity unbalance (torque difference) on the same side of the lever's fulcrum...
