I'm now also looking to convert this to 3ds max where I can use reactor to get it running.

Hi Broli,
many thanks for this animation.
But you did set the frames persecond just to 1 fps and also the weights did not move...
So is this a limitation to sketchyphysics ?

Why do the weights not move ?

Many thanks.

@Stefan;

Yeah it's pretty much a sketchyphysics limit. Since you can't set individual masses, so the wheightst could be 1g as far as it matters. Tommorrow I'll try out 3dsmax  .

@Alexioco: Any updates or news from your side?

Animation looked good, shame the weights were not moving, any how, we know how it works now.

Tomorrow I hope to get the rim for my wheel then attach the other wheel to make it a complete wheel, then all is left to get are the weights, and that will be the moment of truth, I would like to test different weights with my wheel but that wont be happening in a while so I will only be able to make a limited test, but it should bring forth some interesting results...

It?s hard to believe that if this wheel works the simplicity of it is amazing, my excitement will be un controllable.

I?m going to Venice this year, and I want my wheel made before I go so that if my wheel works, I can set my wheel off in my attic and leave it for a week, then come back, go into the attic, and just before I open the door to see if it still going it will be so exciting:p

Hi Alex,
I am going to do now another WM2D test.

Should all weights be the same or should I try different weights
inside the machine ?
Please let me know.
Many thanks.
