G'day all,

There are a lot of people here that would prefer to call him Humburger, it might make him palatable to some :-)

Sorry Hum, couldn't help myself :-)

Hans, I have no beef with that


Sorry...nauseating huh?


Aiks, no problem friend...I take plenty of "stuff" around here.  Welcome to Wonderland!

hey guys I stumbled across this thread a week or so ago.
I has a look at the footage of chas's wheel

I enjoy these type of experiments so i built a computer simulation using 3ds Maxs reator.
I first created a wheel to chas's design with the weight of 2 balls on the out side and and 6 balls on the inside. This number because from what i could see only to ball would ever be on the outside at one time and then six balls would be on the inside wheel.

When i ran the simulation the wheel went no where, it was perfectly balanced just like in srawofni simulation.

So then from what i had seen in the thread i decided to make the outer wheel bigger. I then ran a simulation with 2 balls on the outside and the six balls on the inside and it began to turn up. At first i was like wow that pretty cool but then i realized the this meant it would now take the more balls going down to send 1 ball up. This is because the larger the outer circle the smaller the angle each ball going down will turn the inner wheel. For the wheel to work continuously you would need one ball up for every one ball down. 

So the result you will get is either a balanced wheel or a wheel that eventually ends up with no balls at the top.
That is my findings at the moment. If any one would like to input another method for me to investigate please do so.

One thing that make Chas's wheel seem impressive is the fact it starts turning the second he removes his catch thing. However the wheel is not already loading with balls. If it was it the first ball would just roll in and it should be balanced.

I'm sure all this has been said in one form or another by people in this thread but i spent some time playing with it so i thought id post up my findings. If my test method seems incorrect in some way please make a comment. Some of you might think grumble grumble simulation program but it worked very well and if you did your own test in a real world situation you should get the same result.

Thanks for reading and I'm happy to get involved.

@Hum.
I have been following the threads for a while: yet I have been rather lazy to post.
Being person on the business / operations side for innovative concept promotion I highly value your input here. It is not like I don't dream and have high hopes sometimes or anything, but there should always be people who have healthy amount of scepticism.
As a partly related example ? I have a numerous times situations when inventor makes a proposal for potential investors/partners where he concludes that a price for a unit of a product in the final outlet is 10.00 USD and electricity for production and raw materials cost ? 0.50 USD. And they are convinced that a company would make a profit of 9.50 USD on every unit sold.

Nice post, accurate findings!
