A Totaly Different Kind Of Overbalancing Wheel 2

[SPANG]

I feel I have no choice, but to try and build this device --------------- to prove, once and for all,
who is right, and who is wrong.
This will take some time, as I have various physical dissabilities, that need not be gone in to right now. I will also find it difficult to finance this project ---------------- another reason why I estimate it will take quite a while! Not too long, I hope!

Building one shouldn't cost much and not be complicated. I would like to do it also - just for learning. I already know the outcome if my calculator know how to work. Use LEGO. Instead of the tension design, it shouldn't make any difference to use a spring that force down the lower wheel via another hub through the bottom wheel.

Vidar,  Be my guest! And, Good Luck!
I don't know if you've realised this or not, but there is NO NEED FOR GRAVITY!
A 'TENSION'-rod can be used, to 'pull' down on the chains INSTEAD of gravity.
This means of course, this device can be used in SPACE ----- where there is
NO gravity. Just think, what that can mean for mankind!

I have several other designs, that I think will work ----- the problem here is,
which one should I go for?

P.S.   I'm glad you're thinking of 'having a go'.

For gravity type of devices it's best to use WorkingModel software. It's free and this way you don't need to spend any money on non working machine. Will try to do this tonight. If so, will post the results here.

Edit:
Actually, I've already started the work, but I've no idea how to realize those chains in WorkingModel. There is only rope here which you can connect from one point to another and that's all. Any idea ?

AIRSTRIKER,
                The use of chains in this design, allowes the force to be applied because the chain
(which has links), 'hooks' on to the teeth of the top sprocket, and further down the chain, to
'hook' on to the teeth of the bottom sprocket ----- I don't think it can be done with a rope, as it
has no links! How can one side of a rope, be made 'slack'?
I don't know how you'll proceed with this problem.
