Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

[CLaNZeR]

Knocked up a Bhaskara's Indian Wheel today. I know it is meant to have lots of little ball bearings, which I have to order but for now using a couple of small bearings in each slot.

Got some magnet ideas I want to try with it when it is mounted.

Off to make the base and uprights and will start a new thread to cover progress if any LOL

Cheers

Sean.

@mondrasek,

Thanks a lot. However, if that's freewheeling, then it seems to work just fine, unless there's still someting hidden which acts as a motor. Can you check it out? Thanks. (see attached)

Omni, that is messed up.  What you posted is NOT the same file that I posted.  When I open your attachment the balls are in different locations and there is an immediate collision error.  Did you change something or play with it before sending it back?

I downloaded what I had posted and it was fine.  I am attaching it again as a different file.  Maybe it became corrupt in download to you?  Or else it has to do with the version of WM2D you have vs. what I have?

@mondrasek,

Yes, I moved one ball up and put it on the first upper empty groove. This is the starting position which will cause the wheel to turn clockwise. That's the only thing I changed.

AquariuZ, question, how did you know that the white circle was the axle?

Sure, you know the post where you asked aquariuz if he was a fellow traveler following a star in a desert for 40 days, since he had the alpha and omega in his name. That was you wasn't it?

No, you must be confusing me with someone else. Sorry.
