Here is a fast device that uses an inverted pendulum effect (hand operated like Veljko Milkovic but in reverse and you have use of two) to operate from it's first build but now it is going through some changes in an attempt to self power.
The pictures are of its construction time period but I will be taking more for its progress of its changes. Also video is to come shortly when I correct the needed stand.
Note it has nothing to do with gurangax and the proof is here which was posted 10 days before his string was ever posted.

Now this was before I added the arms/elbows to create the inverted pendulum effect. Also this was before I cut and welded the axle so the slide arms could pass freely. Note these photos are about 3+years old. but I kept it around due to unanswered questions.
Forgive my ignorance, but how can one have an inverted pendulum?
The essence of a pendulum is that potential energy is traded for kinetic energy through the intervention of gravity, being a force of attraction between two bodies. If inverted, gravity can no longer play its role. It no longer restores; it makes matters worse.

Here is information on inverted pendulums
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_pendulum
The photos are of the construction and the inverted pendulums were added at the base pivots of the slide arms that you will see in upcoming photos. Which have went through several changes and have several more to come.

Here is the promised video of my project and different attempts will be done to it to see if I can get it to self run. comments are welcome of course. It is an open source project.

Springs, bouncing weights, and magnets devices are on my list for the next attempts to be published but I am sure not all configurations are covered.
Alan
In part 2 here, is to show how the slides react to the device. In this test, I added one weight to one of the slide arms. the one that has the over balance arm.

I am surprised that very few questions have been asked. This device/wheel may very well self rotate when the correct additions are added. I have some construction to do for the next video but it will be soon.

I was just looking at my part 2 video and I realize there is another wheel device in the background. It is something that was on the internet that I played with way back when I first started gravity wheels. It was a peace of junk but I found it again cleaning out my storage and just kicked it off to the side for I was not sure what I was going to do with it. LOL Can you find it?

No guesses? Am I going to have to offer a prize?

Taking into account that you make things like armor suites,, I don't think most of the things that I see in the background are what you are talking about.
Unless that new face piece on the chair is it or that, what looks like a buck on the right floor,, I think they are called bucks??? or the big stump,, you have me stumped :)

All the items in the background are what makes it interest. Most of what is seen are know a stake anvils. Now here is what came of the face plate on the stool. I also have a individual photo of the wheel device in question when it gets found.

Hi AB Hammer,
In your device, one should add more accessories to make it work dumbbell disc is mounted on a flat steel bar and hang it high into the available holes were drilled in the cross bar, it will do work as a pendulum clock! . . But I'm not sure it helps your device run for a long time! :D

The thing in the blue box like welder stand is a 3/4 HP buffing motor (you are looking at the end of it), and the thing with the spring is part of a metal cutting band saw (but it has a box of segmented chest plate parts on it). The steering wheel on my English wheel/roller is for adjustments of preasure.
Your next clue is. You will see it in plain view most of the video but it does come and go from view.

Since no one else is guessing I will tell you where it is.
It is at the back roller of the chair. Here is a close up of the device. (PS it is not worth duplicating) but you will see some accelerating feet on each arm. Improved a little but no banana. I do tend to make a lot of stuff out of steel.
Now back to the device of the string.

A message from the Terrible Twos
My granddaughter has a special gift for mimicking in a selective way. I wonder what she was thinking?

@ All
I turned the device on its side to work as a pendulum and made a video of it. I didn't talk in but I did put captions. It has a few effects to work from for some future projects IMHO.

Hi ABHammer !
Visiting your movies , especially : http://youtu.be/5I4NDGcj1UA , I like and appreciate your accomplishments...
Even so , why do you play an "inverted Milkovic " with a single disc ? ...what's your elementary image/idea , so to obtain a gravity powered self-running device?

I have 3 different devices I am building to work on this device. Now I have been increased on my disability I can afford to spend more time on inventions.
