For simplicity reasons I had the balls just leave the wheel and roll on a track to there next position free from the rotation of the wheel. You could have them attached to the spokes but there affective mass would be zero. Once the ball rests on the horizontal ramp gravity is pushing straight down and the ramp is pushing straight up canceling any force thus leaving no directional force to move it to the right. It would maintain this balanced state. I could make a graphic if you would like?

This is where what I was saying about the smot having to be the source of energy because it is the only other "potential" source of energy in the design.

ok, thanks.
please do draw the correct graphic

also there is only one smot which would be located where the top center ball is at. this location would be the starting point for the smot.

Sorry I'm a little confused by this. Are you saying there is only 1 SMOT in the design at that's on the top? Or is there one for the bottom rail as well?

Here is a slightly better graphic. Did I leave anything out? Any ball that's on the ramp/SMOT will contribute zero force to the wheel by themselves.

well i guess you can try to use two smots one on top and the other at the bottom. but the original idea was suppose to be one smot which starts where the top center ball is at.
