Hi Larry,
Thanks for the reply.
Seems that I have it backward . Yes, it makes more sense to use the springs the way you mentioned.

Hi Larry,

Great, looking forward to your next drawings. Also, the two people that have created this machine before (Bob and Walter) have not been heard from since. Now it could be they got to close and the machine clobbered them or whatever, don't know. But it is best to keep everything open for safety.

Also, please keep in mind, that the latch has to occur at the end of the centrifugal slam before the springs can push back and loose the centrifugal force gain.

Hi Larry,
I went back and re-read the comments that you put together from Bob. There seems to be a couple of scenerios given that I'm trying to reconcile:

"The way to lift the weight to the opposit end is at the 4:00 oclock position an  arm from the centre, on a cam mecanisum to the end of the arm (2.5 ft) is forced around and lifts the linked weights 1" farther than 1/2 the total travel. Centricical force will lift it the rest of the way. It acts like a leaver 2.5" to centre and 10" past.The farther it pushes the weight from the bottom the easier it gets.The first 2" is the heaviest. "

Does this mean "the rest of the way" to the center or to the other end?

and:

"The unit works by raising the weight up to the top at the 12:00 o clock position and the lower weight follows as they are connected. A cam mechanism picks up the weight in the center of the wheel and raises them up approximately 4". After the cam, the actuator arm brings it the rest of the way. (8").  

So is it centrifugal force or an actuator arm?

Here he means to the other end.

and:

A cam mechanism picks up the weight in the center of the wheel and raises them up approximately 4". After the cam, the actuator arm brings it the rest of the way. (8").

Here he means to 1" more than half-way.

Picture it being slung like a skeet from the slinging mechanism but using the momentum built up in the Bob's device.

Checked some hardware out this morning. Thinking of using steel flat bar and the heavy grooved rollers that are used under a patio sliding door for the weight carrier. Got any better ways in mind?

Has anyone heard from Bob or what has become of his machine lately?
