Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

@AquariuZ,

What cleaned up model? Did you change the error limits? If you did other non-physical things start to happen -- as I already said, non-physically slow motion as well as ignoring constraints. Things are not as straightforward as they seem with this wm2d either way (pro and con).

Integrator error, Frame rate.

@AquariuZ and @Cherryman,

Would be interesting to replace the wheel in what seems to be the working model (per @eisenficker2000 design) with a hockey-stick grooved wheel, to get a slight idea where @Dusty might be heading.

You did not reply to the fact that these hockeysticks seem curved the wrong way around on the long end

No, that doesn't seem to be the case.

That's why I'd like to try it with "proper" hockey stick grooves.

Something funny is going on with the seemingly working model -- the balls around 8 o'clock in the lower left part suddenly find more freedom and escape from the, let's call it, @broli's forced trajectory. The inverted hockey stick form seems to help in securing favorable timing. The balls on the right-hand side are always in fixed positions.

Fair enough. I would advise using Hans' method of trajectories to recreate the exact paths
