Are you making any headway with your project. Have been running back and forth offshore past few days. Don't have service 30 miles out, and too busy to post when around the dock.

When you get back to your project you might consider changing wiper motor. It might make life easier to have a more powerful motor for cogwheel. Having the ability to change rpm across a wider range should speed up the tuning process.

I also believe that you will need to draw power from the pma at a constant rate. If you are charging caps and then discharging you will have a constantly changing load. This will make it impossible to maintain the timing of your cogwheel. As you know in order to get the max potential you will need all 5 weights falling while lifting 1. With a changing load you will have to increase and decrease rpm of wiper motor in order to maintain proper timing.
