Just tried another concept.. couldn't resist.. ;D
This one works better.
It is based on the "hefboom" principle.

Another one, more spokes.. more weight difference
Screenshot.
The weights are simply pushed to become levelers, the flywheel connects them all together.
I like that last one, although the first one is just as simple.
Wonder why they wouldn't work.
If indeed they don't, perhaps it's worth to investigate having a ramp on the lower right quadrant, leaving extra room rather than restructing it as most wheel choose to do.

Tnx for the input. I do think there is a problem with WM2D also, because i can not understand why it is capabele of turning counterclockwise by itself..
A ramp on the lower right corner? If the wheel turns clockwise.. What action will that ramp provide? I do not understand.

Just trying to think upstream. It's hip now to do it your way.
I thought a wider path 3-6:00 might also add some torque.
Not fighting CF as much, I brainfarted, rather giving way to it, at least at 3:00. Upper left then takes a shorter turn also.

I like
Hey alfimx,
Try LT3A1.wmd with circle body(12) mass = 10 kg
Wait and see what happend .....
Very instructive .... ;D

don't work

As the crucial barbell (which runs 8.00 o' clock - 2 o'clock) moves from
8.00 to 9.00, it will need work in order to raise the weight at the right
hand end by the amount that it will rise.
