[redriderno22]

the wheel itself can be one pound, one ton or 10 tons

it does not matter

its the added weight of the extended rod falling

but if you have a wheel that is one ton, you will have more momentum available to use

Hi all!

I'm Judas, currently still a student (electronic-engineering),
I life in that really smal country they call belgium. (who cares really?)

-Long time reader, first time poster- ,
been following from the top. Mighty interesting stuff here.


I'm probably not the first who came across this video, but thought I had to share it:

Wish you al the best of luck, never give up

Hi All
I thought I had seen it before this device has been around for I think years I know its been in the minatowheel group for ages and on the flying dutchmans site for ages, oh and it didn't work as far as I know, the only difference between the two is the connecting rods and will that change the outcome I don't think so but time will tell as of now I still have yet to see anything that makes me think this will work but I see I'm just one of a few that don't think this will work so what I think doesn't matter.
Take Care All

Well I hope this thing works for I cannot see any reason for someone to go through all Archer has just to fail, I hope he is right. I was wondering what would happen if you did this design on both sides of the wheel rather than just 1 side, why leave the backside of the wheel to do nothing? I would think you could get more out of it using both sides?

Weight does matter lol

wow now your going way off you will have to use other componnents that differ from a hard drive motor if you plan on using heavy weight not to mention the smacking action as stated...

If wieght did not matter we would not be adding weights to break this wall so to speak!!!

Weight accounts for almost everything in the design you have to use the proper strength magnets for your design as well based on what?

Yep you guessed it weight....

This is what I am getting at redriderno22 sure we all know you can scale the design but in order to scale it you must scale appropriately!!!!

Differnt motors differnt everything... Viola

I appreciate your effort and enthusasium and you were most likely still on an excitement kick as I would still be but... Yes weight matters...

Weight is also torque you could not slap a lightweight pinwheel out in the friggin yard and hope to generate as much power as a wind turbine because guess what there is not the torque to do so!!!!

hehe so weight does matter and it maters bigger then you expect.

Look then leap is my motto...

I think what redrider was saying was, the weight of the turning disk (to which the tubes are attached) by itself does not matter, if the rod weights themselves are adequate to do the job.  Weight matters, but you can have most of the necessary weight in the rod weights, not in the disk.
