Roll on the 20th June

As it was raining yet again today grrrrr. I thought I would knock up a gravity wheel out of different parts I had laying around and will try some of Archers Unique ideas out.

Here is progress so far.

I have gone for 4 poles rather than 3 as the wheel I had already had the slots there. I may knock up a new wheel to mount the 6.

I used 8 small linear slides, one for each small arm. These will get linked together as shown in the last picture so when one side is in and the other is out.
I have mounted the bolts on the connectors at various heoghts and I am going to use the old metal flat Meccano as the links. This saves on height and should not look too messy!

I quickly got out the good old Blu-Tac to mount some ball bearings just to add weight.

Each end connector, gets a plate slotted in where the ball bearings are, will hold a Pole with a magnet on it. Will show that later as it comes along.









More to come

Cheers

Sean.

looking great clanzer. Your builds are always neat and tidy.   I just hope that you aren't going to test it so close to your old pyramid, you never know what kind of strange power might be coming out of it

Must admit that Bloody Pyramid is getting well in the way, it so big 

Think I might have to cut out some stainless sheets for the side and stick it in the the garden as an ornament!!!. Seems a shame to take it apart but it is in the way.

We will see LOL

Now that is really impressive!!!! Intentionally or otherwise it is in fact once he gets it running the perfect demonstration wheel because you can see everything withou concern for hidden items as the sceptic will be expecting when they see the wheels running.

well done.
