@ spider4re

That's the spirit! All the "luck" in the world to you folks!

@ gwhy

Thanks man. I mean seem "dumb" for wanting to try, but i have this thing about believing when my own hands do it.
Your support to try is always welcome.

@ Mark69

An interesting blend of fulcrum and wheel, and that's what it's all about!
Try new, try different, try stupid (how many discoveries have been accidental throughout time?).
Try is the operative word!

I have a little issue with your graphic (like I should throw stones, right? ), but that's only because I don't know how you're envisioning the mag arrays to effect the lever.

Keep thinking and posting!

@BATMAN: what changed two months ago that made you start your patent application process ?
Did an idea from Archer make an old design of yours work ? Or is Archer's design conflicting with one of yours - prior art wise ?
BATMAN already has Wayne Corp. income, so obviously patent is not for the $$. Won't it prevent a worldwide spread of the device ?

Anyway we're all waiting for the videos . Technical plans are a bonus

Hi Archer
I don't really care but weight on ever side making the wheel drop is basic and something most know, I have said it about 10 times on this thread and didn't you have your magnets holding the arm up stopping it from falling back the other way if it was weighted on one side.
Like I said I don't really care and I beleave you didn't have your wheel weighted on one side,  I was just making the point that your magnets would stop it going the other way if it was to be weighted on one side.
Take Care Archer

PS: I didn't put this post to go at Archer, like I said I don't really care but I do like people to have the whole picture not half of it, yes Archer was right with that video about puting a weight on ever side but that was half the picture the half he didn't show was his magnets are designed to push one way so they would be stopping any arm moving back the other way, if its weighted the magnets would stop it falling back the wrong way.

Exxcom,

thanks for the input, I just crudely drew that while it was in my head.  I have just about the details figured out to how to place the magnets on the wheel.  But using a lever with a further distance from the magnet side will REALLY slide the arm way over.  I figure the magnets will be like a continous "fence" on each side of the lever.  Then you can have a contiual force always acting on the levers.
