AB Hammer's gravity and keel grid

Thanks for posting. That is an intriguing simulation, and when thought about can give several ideas.

Problem sorted.

I am bringing up this tread again to start a change and to explore why so many wheel designs don't work. The gravity and keel grid is a tool for exploring wheel designs for possible builds. This is for already opened sourced designs to learn from. And we can explore why and learning from previous builds and ideas

For instance this wheel has shown up in many variation and none of them work. Here is the reason why. The dynamics of the weights transfer to the circle oval and other shaped ramps and act as the only wheel. What people are calling the wheel becomes the guides only.

Here is one of my wheels from the early days of building. Being of all steel construction and with advanced shifters on an old idea. I am posting this one to discus why did it not run. I already know, but different views could have a good addition to understanding the problems of gravity wheel approaches.
