So again with no proof we are supposedly to accept. Right....

I feel your pain. All I ask you to accept is that he exists, that he has found something, and that he is on the level. It is frustrating nevertheless. At least he is Googleable now.

@ Dutchy, yea, looks like five holes, maybe to balance?, just a guess. I would love to get my hands on some more video or pictures.

Maybe insertion points for the weights?

In theory it would be limited by the (freefall) speed of the weight i.e. until the speed of the wheel matches the freefall speed of the weights.

Hmm, if speed of the wheel equalizes with the free-falling weight,  then where the driving torque comes from? What drives the wheel to that speed?
And how big that wheel should really be?

A large wheel spinning at those speeds? what are we talking here, 30000 Rpm? What do you think will happen to such a wheel? Can it be contained?

This is the issue why there needs to be a failsafe throttling system.

A LARGE (heavy) unbalanced wheel spinning at 30kRPM? No, thanks... (not made of glass, i hope?)

Well, that would certainly not be a gravity driven wheel...
