Please...Tell us how you would evenly space a cup every 29 degrees then on a 360 degree circle.  Only a whole number of cups, please.

I have poured and consumed two shots of Glen Livet, I am ready to hear your answer.

The point is, that there is additional forces when the ball is moving and
impacting the wheel  rather than just being gently placed there.

Hans, I believe in science.  But what you are doing is misinterpreting it
to your advantage.


Here is another idea I had, which might not work due to friction and
other complications...

If all the inner cups were slideable than you could use a guide track
to keep a lot  of the weight more towards the center.

red = guide rail
Green = slide pocket tracks

Right: 3.8637* 0.96592 = 3.7321
Left: 1+2*0.866 + 2*0.5 = 3.7321

Okay, you made the error at the right side !

there we have an angle of 14,5 degrees, as I said, I could do it with 29 degrees,
so 29:2 = 14.5 degrees.
so cos (14.5 degrees)= 0,9681 x 4 = 3.87

At the left side you were right:
1x sin 90 + 2 x sin 60 + 2 x sin 30  = 1+2*0.866 + 2*0.5 = 3.7321

So I still have an advantage of :
3.87 to 3.73

(Better that it's no longer necessary do do it...
Already proved that Campbell's wheel is not working. See above.)

Great idea , zero,
I guess this could work, if it is not too steep and the rolling friction
for this would be low.

But I think the Bob Kostoff device is a much better candidate for
an efficient gravity converter, as it uses the bigger centrifugal force
and converts this to energy output.

With this Kostoff device there can be much bigger power densities
reached with much smaller devices as you only have to buildup speed,
to maximize the centrifugal forces.
This can also be done in a small wheel, when it is build right.

Does anyone know, how to model a spring fixation mechanism in
Working Model 2D simulator software ?
Then this could be easily simulated with this.
I have to find out, how I could fix a spring in a compressed stage
and then release it 180 degrees later.
If anybody know, please send me a private mail.
Thanks.
