Weightless Weight

Yes, this is exactly how I had it in the simulation. It does not work the way Alex says.

Here are 4 screenshots of the simulation that show what happens under those conditions.

Exactly Hans....my life test build did the same.
Can you try a sim putting some weight on the left side, to document what 'lilhawk' was calculating?

lilhawk:
Yes I like circles...but I like spirals even better â€" especially when added to an Atwood connected pendulums.
The point I'm trying to make by using circle in this setup is, that the string/rope resting on more or less of the circumference (rim) may have some importance to the tension and distribution of force...

Nice calculation btw. You point at the same issue as mentioned in my latest post.
And I agree with your request: If anyone got a build that behave differently, we need some documentation to support such statement.

I'm sorry for over reacting, I am just getting upset about that everyone is using my design and telling me it doesnt work  all I can say is I have it here unless im mistaken in some way but to me it seems to be working...Alex

I completely understand your frustration, Alex.

Try to see it from another position:

We do not say that your design doesn't work!
We do not say, that you are not truthworthy!

What we are saying is, that our effort to try to replicate your design do not replicate your results.

To find out why this is happening, we try to examine possible differences on elements and vital details such as angle, lbs, pulley-size, measurements etc.

Finally, at this point your design is 'used' for evaluation.

This is equilibrium, as expected.

its strange why this is, its not different from that one Hans posted, that is really strange... Wander why, I made two that work... I will write about what i did then post it
