Not Half Baked - Half built.

G'day all,

This is nothing but a variation on a medieval flap wheel. It doesn't work.

Here is a two armed version of 30 square.
The Joints move.
There is insufficent weight displacement on this two armed version.
2 arms 1 to 30 square
2 arms 1 to 30 1 arm can be seen.

An enclosed 2 arms at 55 incrementing squares should be enough to displace weight to make the wheel perpetually rotate.

Ok... Here is the theory after playing with the two arms at 1 to 30 yesterday.

Pythagorean Triangle.


The 'alpha' or start number & 'omega' the end number of each square is different.


Instead of measuring the physical line, measure the energy of that line.

The energy is 30, 30, 30.

Make a 3 arms at 1 to 30 square interlocking them closed round the axle. Insert a spring that allows movement from closed 3 to open 5.

My closed arm from 1 to 30 are 7 thick, measures 22cm
22cm=3
Therefore 5 = 36 2/3cm
Install a spring that allows that oscillation.

Three in one, it looks like an ariel.

I am fairly new in this field but, I don't see any control of your machine. I am a blacksmith/armourer by trade of over 22 years and work with allot of moving parts duplicating the movement of the human body. I also know when a project is taking up to much time with little improvement. I would suggest to start with another project with more control, and then look back on this one to see if it is worth going back to.

I am working on a redo of my first project with hammer like arms, and to be truly honest I think I have solved the problem. This is the 4th time redoing it.

If you check half baked you will find one of my rejects, but there is still allot of control in it.

Thanks I'll check it out later tonight.

I started seriously rebuilding after I noticed the kick on this large 18 square arm, this was enmeshed with metal bars 11 thick. The math suggest (a=2,b=a+1 a^2+b^2=c^2=13) it should be two at 13 thick, and not 11 thick. I can no longer spend any money on bars, so I am working with the bars I have.
