@ zero,

Only one comment: do the math, pls and post it.
Tx,
Tinu

P.S If this is about Campbell's device, I guess it's time to prepare us closing the subject, with a clear verdict that it is not working. PERIOD
Any objection?
For any other 'improvements' and variations, I suggest starting a new thread.

Tinu,
I made the math, look above !

Tinu  I still have the advantage:
3.87 to 3.73

28.9 degrees is theoretical max, also your scoops must be divisable by 360, even if it was you didn't add the fraction of extra balls to the left side that you took away from the right side

180 degrees at 30 degree increments = 6 balls
180 degrees at 29 degree increments = 6.2068965517241379310344827586207 balls

28.9 degrees at 30 degree increments = 0.96333333333333333333333333333333 balls
28.9 degrees at 29 degrees increments = 0.99655172413793103448275862068966 balls

good idea with the SMOT ramp.
If Chas is still buying the real big ball bearings he could really use it and get it
overunity this way for sure.

I think the device can be much smaller like this?

It will be more complicated to drop the balls out of the smot in time.

The image also tries to illustrate to curve the ball inwards. Pulling the mass towards the center should accelerate the wheel.

My instinct says it should give more leverage as just leaving it on the rim you see.

I want to hear how Charles arranges a whole number of ball receptacles at 29 degrees each yet evenly around the wheel. 

I have been accused of inappropriate use of ridicule.  It is only fair that I be shown exactly why the idea of building the wheel with 29 degree increments is not ridiculous. 

Then I will voluntarily ban myself, cut off both my hands, pour the remainder of the Glen Livet into my eyes and light it on fire.  I promise.  And swallow the pill Hans is supposed to be keeping.

you still don?t understand...
probably you missed the physics lesson where the torque arm
calculations was done...

Of course the wheel has slots every 30 degrees.
Only my right left ball sits at 14.5 degrees above the horizontal plane
4 x distance away.
Very easy to calculate all the torques as I have done.

No more need to ridicule.
Still 3.87 to 3.73 advantage at 14.5 degrees and
when the red ball has gone down to the horizontal plane,
the advantage rises to 4 to 3.73, so the yellow balls
are lifted faster !

Exactly Stefan,

Yyou need an input of energy to make it work, but why do that? Why not use the energy you have to do something with rather than injecting it into a system that at best will only run but not produce work. Where is the sense in that?

Once again I have to agree with Hum.  The one falling ball is having to lift all off the remaining balls.  I've built a few gravity wheels and have used tubes in mine....none have worked.  I personally will not try to replicate another gravity wheel until I see one run for a full day carrying a slight load.
