New Wheel Design

Alex,    All along it was your choice.  I respect the choice you made. 

Keep up the good work!

Now that I have posted it, i want to know what everyone thinks? the weight swings down from the axle to the rim of the wheel by letting gravity pull it down from the axle causing it to swing out, but the wheel moves so the swing goes up, the next step is getting it to swing up to the axle, maybe by the force of the weights hitting the top rim they can send a impulse to the bottom weight... there are some very interesting things that can be done with this, which I wil compose a complete detailed dexcription of what it does and what other things can be done...

Right, I have made my descision: Firstly it is a NONE RUNNER, but it does have its own qualities... I am going to reveal it just like I promised from the start, those who steal it for themsevles are an example to themsevles and others, I will think twice next time before I make a single post...

P.S I will not post footage of the arangement of weights at the moment, I will show you the movement that a single weight takes then thats all there is to know...


Black weight = Main Weight
Red weight = Assistance Weight (Not Essential, can work without)
Arrow = Direction of Rotation
Brown Peg = What the weight rests on when it flips itself up to the top

When the wheel is softly spun, the weighted lever swings out from the axle to the rim at the bottom of the wheel, by the time it has reached the rim, its at the top of the wheel, the weight then pushes down on the wheel, when the weight reaches the bottom, it carries itself to the axle as the wheel turns so to get back in the starting position that you see... when one weight is resting by the axle as you see in the pic, another weight next to it is resting on the rim (not shown), they keep swapping places so there is always a weight at the top...

I think it is nifty... Thanks for posting the idea, lets see if it can be modeled and tested..
