In my mind this would not work magnetic reactions occur a bit closer then pictured.

Even if it were out of scale lets say the gear pricipal itself would cause more drag.

While this is my belief please do try your idea unless something is tested implicitly no one can say for sure.

Even when something is rigourously tested some people even then fail to catch everything which is why we see knock offs of inventions which give you essentially more for less money...

Around 1 oclock is where we need extention I believe and around 7 oclock is when we need retraction

Where to I get this idea? Actually you think of it for a second spinning in an office chair start your spin with your legs out and spin like that then let that slow see how long you will spin with the extra drag...

Now start your spin and pull your knees more twords the center of gravity... Note the amount of time you spin you will feel the differnce in speed almost instantly....

Now add gravity and try this perpendicular the downward swing is free to get the most bang for your buck extend the arm and gain mor swing during the fall which is technically 12:00:01 to 6:59:59 but going along with archer We shall say 1:00 and 7:00 .

Hopefully this helps not that I gaurentee nothing it may just be pissing in the wind but hell worth a shot imho.

I feel like a UN peace keeper 

Yea gods! I hope not!
The "peace keepers" are the ones w/ the guns.

You guys are arguing about the same thing I think you just need to read each others posts a little more carefully.

You're right, we're kinda splitting hairs.

But welcome to the forums!

Please don't let my petty squabbling (but it was fun) make you think that this always happens in every thread. I just wanted to find out when we'd run out of "hair".

It's a great place to learn!

Enjoy!

It depends on the friction of the gearing, but it could work.

Give it a shot!

I edited your pic to reflect what might be a better arrangement, but think of the angle of the outside effecting magnets with north/south polarity more up/down as the magnetic field might not be quite as strong (as per the dusty You Tube example from this thread). Paint won't allow me to tilt them any less than 90 degrees.

ALL so IM thinking conctete  cast in place with a nice jig  this way it could be reproduced almost anywhere  once the layout [component placement] is established  cast everything in one shot  the tube channels would act as reinforcement with additional reinforce of course slide in slide out components  a nice cheap heavy very tunable [for balance] flywheel I like it !!   most gens start [making power]at 1100 -1750 rpm   so tip speed on the flywheel would be much slower   Chet

Um what is it again that you are trying to build?
