Perpetual motion?

RE the Wheel
Sometimes a call to an old Friends family is quite rewarding.Perhaps he had some photos of this Wheel laying around ?

Chet,
He never documented this experiment of his, and I am not sure any of his family members even knew about it, you see, he was always experimenting with all kinds of ideas when not engaged in his business, and I got the impression his family had a warm hearted patience with him but never really shared his passion.

One of his sons now lives there using the place for his tire business,  and it is quite possible the attic above the main garage where he kept his old wheel is still left untouched. I will check that out next time I'm in that part of Sweden.

On another note..
Whatcha mean "double decker"....{not a bus??]

Chet

Well, not a British double decker if that was what you thought, it is an old Volvo bus with another half  shortened and welded on top of it. It's actually a triple decker if you count the tiled sitting area on the roof. I built the bus at a time when I was dedicated into living in a rolling home.

But as you know, by getting older we all tend to get a bit more interested in comfort, and the bus is today merely a place for summer guests to stay. But it still starts at first try and the chassis and brakes are all fine. It has a small living room with a fire stove in the lower back end and a small bathroom complete with a bathtub just behind the driver cabin, and on the second floor the bedroom lies right below a wide roof hatch making it possible to sleep in the open.

Below is a picture of the bus taken in the midst of the Swedish winter.
