not if you add more extra balls waiting at the bottom

Correct Stefan,

But in this case you need more distance than 4:1 and you are back where you started, the equation does not change with distance.

Adding more balls at the bottom will not help, for every ball that drops on the right you have to lift another one to the starting position in order to get rotation.

Hi RMud,
I don?t know what you drawing up here,
but the only thing we have here is this.

Still a 3.9 to 3.6 advantage, if you slow the wheel down,
so it the red ball has enough time to go from the axis out to 4 x the distance !

Then the red ball has enough torque to lift the next yellow ball up onto the upper ramp.

G'day all,

Try the following experiment, as I did,

Cut out a cardboard disk, draw on it concentric circles. then stick a coin where the balls will be for a given position and observe what happens at the different diameters when you put a pin in the axis and let it find equilibrium.

It does not work.

This is the trouble with armchair math guys.  Even today,  there are physicist that
have troubles figuring out exact models for certain situations.

Being that I doubt anyone on this board is a high level physicist,  they are
only going to give halfa$$ equations that are way off-base. 

Plain and simple, the additional rolling and impact forces do affect the output
power.   There is no question about it.   

I understand impact forces on a whole other level, because of the martial arts
background I have.  I have managed to discover the secrets of short range
power - otherwise known as 'Explosive Force'.    No physicist to my
knowledge has ever modeled it.   Most artist cant even wrap their brains
around it, let alone have the ability to do it.
