New Gravity Wheel Design BREAKTHROUGH MODIFICATION!

[Yortuk Festrunk]

This new design uses PULLEYS to increase the lifting power of the counterweights AND it simplifies the entire system by requiring NO COMPLICATED LOCKING/UNLOCKING MECHANISMS!

Is there a stop for the center weight that keeps it from going all the way through? Or are you relying on the friction of the smaller rollers?

If you had the center weight on a bearing track it would seem that you wouldn't need all of the smaller rollers at all. The larger rollers could be moved in and accomplish the same thing.

Weights on red pullys at basically zero degrees providing next to no lift to center weight ....even when they start to get to a useful angle to provide some lift, it will only be for 90 degrees( 45-135 degrees) and the 90 degree mark being max

assuming the orientation of the center weight is verticle, and masses are proportionate to size, the center weight would overpower the torque-action of the 2 weighted (red) pulleys, and simply stay at the bottom.    if the weight on the pulleys were increased, the center weight would simply stay at the top.
what is the intended 'function' of such a device?

Function? wtf, this is the gravity powered devices forum.

Once the weight gets to the top, the whole wheel turns 180° and then repeats the process.
