How much weight is needed to create a certain amount of power?

Question to mapsrg,

How does your wheel produce rotation, what energy are you using to turn those little wheels of yours around?

Hans von Lieven

[mapsrg]

The smaller wheels,d,are free to rotate on the larger wheel,W......The smaller wheels have a magnet mounted on half there faces.These magnets interact with external magnets,2, in repelling mode to guide them around the paths shown.At top and bottom of rotation the smaller wheels are repelled so as to cause a continuation of imbalance  of the larger wheel............by either rotating to a path further or nearer the center of rotation of the larger wheel.

You need a very strong magnetic field to turn the wheel 180 degrees. How do you propose to cancel the opposing forces? And don't forget you have to do this top AND bottom. Where is the energy coming from to do this with? You only have 30 degrees of movement to gain the inertial energy and very little imbalance. I am being generous here and not count losses in friction.

I tested the repelling magnets on a small disc type wheel of 100mm diameter brought into proximity of a fixed external magnet and it was repelled to turn into its new path.I used ceramic magnets in the experiment.the disc was made of aluminum of 2mm thickness with ceramic magnets superglued to one half of its face and was free to rotate.

How do the magnets stay in their positions once turned??
