CALCULATING WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION ON A WHEEL.

very detailed

in the article they state calculations dont relate to torque due to gravity....

I was thinking that rpm would also effect the power as if the wheel spins at 60 rpm (1 rev a second) the power output is similar to that worked out but at an acceleration of 9.8m/s/s revs will increase to say 120 (2 a second) 180 (3 a second)etc...I will have to read up on this aspect.

The example of 24 wheels given above can have its output doubled by using wheel pairs and increased further by having another inner circle of smaller  smaller wheels of 100 diameter at a radius sitable for 24 of these.

since gravity is acting at 9.8m/s/s and the total circumference of the offset paths of the smaller wheels is 6.27 m then in one second the wheel would rotate 1.56 times.If this is correct then the output would be also greater proportionally...40.56 joules per second???
