Latest Bhaskara wheel!

From perspective of Kozyrev theory the side, which contains more mixed fluid and bubbles should get lighter. From perspective of my own theory, the thermal fluctuations should enforce the keeping mixture in shaken state and thus more distant from center of mass, than the equilibrium, so that this side should get heavier, which is what we essentially observe.

Being that the bottles are sealed, they should weigh the same
Mix with the air inside or not.
Don't believe me? Put a half full bottle on the scale
Shake it up and put in on the scale again

MIT defines this situation as producing a net torque.

Here's how to do the math in a more simpler way


https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/gravitational-torque-about-point.417539/


the net torque (or effective rotational force) on the wheel can be calculated by
Defining the torque on one bottle 360 times around the wheel then adding up
all of them. (that's about as accurate as I care to get at the moment)


From this analysis it is clearly seen that the bottles cannot be placed symmetricaly
else net torque =0
There are also angles of the bottle in which net torque is considered insignificant.
Or so little that friction is likely to win out.
Approaching the tangential is not beneficial
Nor is approaching the axial
Thus our desired angle lies in between
I would think that it should be close to halfway between
The tangential and the axial
But that assumes an inherent symmetry between the bottles and wheel
Which has yet to be clearly defined.




This is laborious and repetitive not to mention time consuming.
It might be beneficial to come up with a computer software that could run these
numbers on every possible bottle angle, some of these physics sims can do this
I think. I have never messed with them but I remember seeing some functions
on other's videos that might be useful here.

Pulled the wheel off the bike and gathered some parts to build a stand
Next step is to remove the reflector and tire
Then throw this thing together and balance the wheel
Then I'll start adding bottles, first one to conduct some tests
Then two, 3 etc.
I'm planning for 7 bottles for now

My brother has the drill so I won't be able to put this
thing together until tonight, but this is my basic
Test rig

The brackets came off an old jeep, the wheel is from my bike
As long as I don't destroy it, I should be able to put it back on
So my total cost up to this point
Is about $10 of water and a 2x4


I will need to find some zip ties or a way to attach the bottles
I may try to come up with an adjustable angle mechanism
If it's not too difficult to implement
