@ Alex

Well I had to take a break from my metal work, the humidity today is tough.

Your questions fine. but it need to be a little better direction, just a little more body so to speak. IMO.

For instance
What is its function?, I would ask. How was it suppose to function?

Why doesn?t it work? , I would ask. How was it not able to function?

Then I would ask. What would it take to make it function? and then. How are we going to do it? (and this would be the answer we are looking for). As is we know it won't work, but then we ask ourselves. Is it a lost cause, to try to go further? Or, How far can we take it? and What can we learn from it?

Just a few more questions to add.
I will email you with other information. to set this up properly.

Ok Alan, ill speak to you about this on email...

What is its function?
To show that such designs are futile, they make for symmetrical art work!

Why doesn?t it work?

Because the ascending side always has a balanced amount of mass with  the descending side, It cannot lift the balls on the ascending side high enough for it to roll not into but over the axle, an equilibrium is caused.

What are its bad points?

Easeir to define by listing its good points! It has none.

What are its good points?
Symmetrical art work, some may call it "Pop-art"

Meaning of Bessler's comment on the machine?
In order for a weight to roll out on the descending side and in on the ascending side, the line must be rather straight or have a slope.

General comment on the machine;
This machine has no  power what so ever, it has more  dead zones than dynamic ones and it cannot overcome that which it doesn't even recognize as it cannot get there. An outside force to overcome static inertia will make it turn for  a short while, but it will not self-suststain.

(Alex: axle is spelled a-x-l-e not a-x-e-l, no pun inteneded but you have been spelling it wrong since the start of your forum visits.

oh haha thanks 
and thanks for the input

Hi Alex,
what is your wheel doing ?
Did you already get any weights ?
No pictures or videos yet ?

Many thanks.
