So, I've decided that a hanging weighing scale is not going to give me a valid positive or negative result.

I've instead started to design a vertical pendulum test and all I have to do use print out 4 more bearing holding blocks...

The blocks will hold the upper part with a cross bar threaded rod on bearings...

Then the bar will extend out to 2 more block where they will hold up the bar..

They will be supported by 2 rods each which will be anchored into a wood sheet..

The whole thing should be a swing..

So I've done some testing and I have brought it up to at least 1000rpm...but I am not observing a directed force that is noticeable...

At first I thought about changing the length of the load arms, increasing the load by 2x, and positioning the load at the tip...

But then I stopped and reviewed the centripetal force calculations...as it had been awhile since I've had to do them...

Force = m x r x (2 x Pi x frequency)^2

This assumes a uniform circular path...

So, taking this equation, increasing the rpm should increase the force exponentially...but also, the radius of the path can be important....

If we were to break this down into two parts, one being the outer radius of which the load travels on, and the second, the inner radius of which the load rotates round, we find that from lower to higher rpm, the amount of force from the outer to the inner radial paths is 1:1...

But if the inner load radius is increased to being greater than the outer radius, then I think there might be a difference then just increasing the weight or re-positioning the load at the tip but shorter than the outer radius...

What I'm thinking about doing is using split loads that would be longer than the outer radius, that would not interact with the center main axle.....

Checking my support structures I have found that the two cross bars would get in the way...so I have to redesign it to allow the crossbars to be out of the way....

All I have to do increase the height of the spacer (the triangular shaped stool) to increase this distance.... new load carriers that will withstand such forces and be long enough to be longer than the outer radius...and cutting new threaded rods to allow the increases (main axle, rotational axles (2 per quarter), and support structure rods (3long + 2 short per quarter)) , and I might do a little increase in efficiency design...

That means more freecad and more 3-D printing...

So, this might take some time....(1 or 2 months)...
