I don't know how you manage that....: When I drag'n'drop the .swf-file into Firefox (or if I try to open it from within Firefox "Open File"), it just ask me to download or make me choose an appropriate program to run the file.

Maybe it's in the preferences... but if you've installed the player it just works.

Usually the plug-ins for Flash player are installed in your browser.  So drag and drop will play them.  Not sure if Firefox is different or if you do not have that plug in installed.  But it works for most IE users.

@ruggero,

Something like this (see attached). Of course, it isn't perfectly symmetric, has to be scaled down, has unwanted elements (rigid joints) and so on. It it were the acceptable rotor the only remaining part (extremely important) would be the track.

@mondrasek,

That's the problem. It isn't clear what proper methodology is and this is what the argument is all about. If what the proper methodology is isn't understood well wm2d being a tool isn't an argument. One think I'd do is compare two models under the same conditions but, as we saw, this works in favor of concluding that the sim confirms perpetuum mobile. Aside from a full fledged real life model, much more is needed if one is only to rely on theoretical considerations and sims.

Omnibus,

I can't read wm2d on a Mac X5 - sorry.
Quictime, AVI...well, allmost anything else would do fine...or even just a still image, please.
