Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

Hi Omnibus. Sorry I had to go back and try to find it. The quote was from Grimer;

"Who am I? A man from the west who has been following a star across the desert for 40 years. When I see a handle which begins with alpha and ends with omega what else should I think but that perhaps I have met a fellow traveller on the same journey."

Grimer isn't that a free masonry quote? From a possible member to another?

(Now back to your regularly scheduled topic.)

@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.

Omni, I guess in doing so you also broke one of the constraints.  The system thought the ball you moved was also supposed to be in collision mode with the wheel.  Since it was sitting on the wheel you had two objects occupying the same space at the same time.  So the sim blew up.  If you want to fix that sim, first click the ball (so it is selected), then hold shift and click the clear wheel (now both the ball and wheel should be selected).  You then go to the top pulldown menu "Object" and select "Do Not Collide".

If you are wanting to learn WM2D, please PM me the questions.  Or start a WM2D users thread.  I don't see why we should clog this thread with WM2D Q&A.

Fixed file attached.

Wot! Me a mason? That's a laugh.

Reminds me of the time when I was in a crisis meeting with Pilkingtons in no mans land (a Birmingham hotel) I was resisting their introduction of GRC (glass reinforced cement) pointing out that our research showed that after 5 years it had lost all its ductility and would fail. Long technical argument - unresolved. Their product champion, Dr.B. tried to browbeat me into agreeing with their interpretation of the results. I said,

"You're entitled to have your opinion Dr.B but you must allow me to have mine."

At which point he went ballistic, and finished up screaming,

"I'll hound you Grimer. I'll hound you. I'll hound you..."

Then he burst into tears.

One of the other Pilks scientists diplomatically suggested we adjourned.

I was told later that while we were all having a pee, Dr.B had said to our Head of Chemistry, Dr Gutt,

"That Grimer, he's a communist isn't he?" (I wore an astrakhan hat).

"No," said Gutt. "Far from it, he's a catholic."

(needless to say, after 5 years it did all fail)
