@all

well i read and re read Archers description and i believe that the picture i have added is just about how he describes it.....or maybe im wrong but i dont think im far out!, i havent added any weights to the device as ive had a hard enough time trying to draw the dam thing with windows paint on my touchpad laptop

Archer if you read this post and see my picture and descover i have murdered your idea please forgive me

"Downloading instructions to site tonight, and full specs on the 20th machine or not."

Oh dear.  That doesn't bode well.  I think people would much rather see the machine than the specs.

@Chad, nice pic Chad, pics work better for me than endless explanations.

@all...soooooo the mags at 1 pull right ?.....and the ELECTO mag pushes at 7.......keeping the weight on the right side so the wheel wants to turn Clock Wise,........im wondering if there needs to be an electromag to push at 7, OR, can we simply use strong neo mags to do the pushing ?..what do ya think folks?.

how do you calculate the force required to overcome the bearing friction? Considering a common ball bearing has a friction coefficient of .001.

different problem:
given a unbalanced mass in a fixed position at the rim of the disk
how do you calculate the impulse force required to push the wheel past the 12 o'clock position when it is is motion. Assuming you apply that force at 7 O'clock
