Sounds great, I can't wait to see what you have done

Do not expect to much
It is a turning wheel only
If i can not link it here,i will send you the file by mail

I was walking back from college this morning and I gave my wheel some thought, when I did tests on my wheel I found that a lighter weight can lift a little more heavier weight because of the way the levers works.
Take note that weight C can only fall inward, and when it does, its push on weight D is strong because of how weight C attaches to weight D, also once weight C has fallen in, weight D cannot fall out because it gets trapped, therefore only a light weight (C) is necessary to move weight (D).
Keeping this in mind, lets now look at weights B and A, weight A again can only fall out, and its pull on weight B is strong again because of how the levers attach, therefore, weight A can be lighter than weight B.
Now we have studied this, here is the part that makes the effect even stronger still, by having a bar go straight through the axel, weights C and A are working together in shifting/driving weights D and B, which will in turn cause weight B to push down to the bottom of the wheel and the process will repeat?

Now here is the question, how do we compare the weights to each other? Well let?s go through it.

1.   Weights D and B must weight the same.
2.   Weights C and A must also weigh the same.
3.   Weighs C and A must weigh lighter than weights D and B

Next question, how much more heavy must weights D and B weigh?

Well to put it simple I would say this;

Weight D can way 5 ounces
Weight B can way 5 ounces
Together they weigh 10 Ounces

Weight C can weigh 3 ? ounces
Weight A can weigh 3 ? ounces
Together they weigh 7 ounces

So what we have is 7 ounces lifting 10 ounces.

This I believe will cause continues rotation, even with just two weights (first picture)
If we make a cross bar (second picture) then the wheel will be stronger still.

Any idea or improvements are warmly welcomed
