Working reconstruction of Peregrinus?s Wheel having cross-like stator

[Humbugger]

Humbugger, please stay ontopic and stop your annoying skeptiszm.
The guy has also some other incrediable videos online, where the framerate
is faster and you can see it selfturning !

Sorry if my skepticism is annoying.  I looked at all those videos and they all seem like they could be easily faked.  I did not say there are faked, just that they don't really prove much. 

Speaking of other threads, would you do me the honor of replying to my last post over on the Chas thread?  It's about where we left off regarding adding up the torque arms on the wheel.

Thanks,

Humbugger

G'day all,

As I said earlier in this thread Scott Lang of leedskalnin.com has replicated some of Taras Levski's work.

In all his demonstrations Taras suspends the moving part of his device on a thread hanging from the ceiling or whatever. The only movement that Scotty noticed was the rotation caused by the thread unwinding. Thereafter nothing.

Make of it what you will.

The thread unwinding? Why did he wind it to begin with?

G'day Omnibus

In case you don't know, most yarns are twisted to hold the filaments together.

Yarns? What yarns? Why would he use yarns to begin with?
