magnetic gravity wheel

@ mapsrg:

Very ingenious approach there!  I have no idea if it will work or not but I have not seen that tried before.  Best of luck to you.

I made the wheel got it to work statically ,with the smaller wheels fixed in thier final guided positions.I set up the magnetic guides and they successfully repelled the smaller wheels as envisioned.The rotation points at top and bottom work as planned.The only thing that didnt work out was that the number and or size of the smaller wheels was not enough to overcome the force needed to continuously cause rotation,ie the force to turn the two wheels top and bottom of the larger wheel.With twelve 100 diameter smaller wheels it required an offset weight equal to one wheel at 3 oclock to work.I am now faced with rebuiding the whole magnetic gravity wheel with specs  to handle double the number of smaller wheels and allowing for these to be larger diameter if needed.I am extremely confident this will work....

A video of a test spin of the smaller wheels FIXED in repelled position to determine the effect.I used this model to try out all the factors effecting full rotation.

Way Kewl mapsrg,

Is this the whel from the april posts or the new one with double the wheel?

[mapsrg]

still to get all parts for new wheel
