Alex's MT Combination

[hartiberlin]

Hi All,
so nobody found the pics in his disk cache or stored it ?

Well,
maybe we can discuss thus:

Here is again attached the basic pic.

Please tell me, if all the number:
1,2,3,4
are rods or if some of these are just ropes ??

and are X, Y, Z
fixed pins on the disc
or is for example Y not fixed tothe disc ?

This is very important.

Many thanks.

Regards, Stefan.

If all 1,2,3,4 are rods
and Y is fixed to the disc,
why does it make sense to have at all
rod 4


It only would make sense, if pinY would not be fixed to the disc.

But then , is 3 and 4 a rod or are these ropes ?

Okay, I made a quick GIF animation,
don?t havemuch time currently,
but so you can see, how it is supposed to
rotate ?

Will clear up this animation later and do it in WM2D.
Maybe someone can answer my above question ?
Many thanks.

It is allot harder to make work than it looks. You have to look at it as a center sliding weight, (which I have worked on and still look back at from time to time). So there for you will have to have almost double the weight shifting it than the weight shifted. Here is where the problem comes in, in a moving wheel. The ascending weight is falling back against the direction of the rotation and since it is almost the weight of the shifted arm, it alone can stop the turning, for it also moves faster from 9:00 to 6:00 point than the 12 to 3 point due to the direction of the spin and tend not to shift smoothly. That is where I was going to help you, how to smooth it's movement.

AB I would love your help, I would really appreciate that

No pictures of my wheel are on this forum, not one, you see my tests yes, but not my wheel, and by the looks of things you are all hungry for it, in that case I?m concerned, my wheel will work, no I am not embarrassed because of a fault, my wheel will first be completed then shown, not before...

MT 25 will not work, looking at that, there is somthing wrong about the picture...
