The Road to Perpetual Motion

I am doing the experiments  and not only in simulation.

Have you??

@Hans:  Yes, I've done plenty of experiments on this.  It's the best way to learn.  However, you have to learn from the results you don't like as well as those you do.

Well, no one asked for my opinion but I feel compelled to respond.  The same science and physics that brought us supersonic planes and put us on the moon still says that a bumblebee can not fly.  According to the math, it cannot beat its wings fast enough to lift its mass.  Well, it does, I have seen it.

Hans has done more on this site to keep folks from going down dead-end streets, myself included, than anyone else on here.  So, when he publishes his own ideas about something "impossible", I listen.  Whoever said that this venture of Hans' could be historic, I agree.  I, for one, am glad to be able to be here to witness it.

Hans has never been one to go off "half cocked".  So, when he says this might be indeed possible, my money is bet on him.

@ Hans:

You have my complete attention.  If there is any way that I might be of help, please let me know.

Thanks Bill,

I feel honoured by your comments and by your confidence in me. Let us hope I can live up to it.

I value your support and your friendship.

Greetings

Hi Hans,

Thanks for sharing your ideas and efforts.

If the correct formulas describing every important phase of the total process are at hand (or in computer), then it boils down to "playing with numbers" until y = x (I can say this now that we have learned from your teachings of course  )

Then building the model could come with the calculated (and hopefully practical) masses and distances and speeding up the wheel by hand or an aux motor to test the sphere is able to reach height x again (in fact a bit higher than x to make gravity roll the sphere back to C).

Thanks again and keep up your excellent work.
