Jhula principle - increase speed by applying brakes.

Hi all, I made another model from prajna's last that is a perpetuun mobile.
The wm2d software have many glitches so the model won't work in reality as we all know.
We can't use the custom materials. We don't get trusted results as I probe with my model.

Edit: About the (Constraint[3].dv.r<0) is easy to explain. The result of this is True (Activated Latch), if not is false (Deactivate it). dv.r is the instant rotational velocity (if <0 clockwise and if >0 anticlockwise)

I believe dv.r is change in rotation of a particular joint (labeled Constraint['x'] where 'x' is the number label of the joint).

If dv.r is negative, it means the joint is rotating in one direction (counterclockwise I believe), and when its positive, its rotating in the other direction.

Correct me if I'm wrong on this Prajna.

Actually dv.r will return the rotational velocity of any object not just joints.

Well, I guess these models with no pendulum prove that it is simply a WM2D 'feature' that is producing the OU.  We're chasing rainbows again. It would be nice to be able to test designs based on complex pendulums without these misleading results.

Just noticed you are running Ubuntu. Cool.
