I like your wheels, they are like medieval wheels (a knights shield)

Add a cylinder and spheres machine to your wheels and you will have something that makes energy.

Well I posted another toy that likes to go around.

Morning allen,
I must say i am very confused about what you wrote about your test. I to use weights around the rim to counter act/weight the rim. I find it interesting that it only ran for a minute and a half without the arm. Most perfectly balanced wheels as i assume that would be without the arm would run for some considerable amount of time. Why did it slow down so quiclky w/o the arm.
I am not being picky but its in your thread on weights test w/ much explanation as to what the test is. Free flowing arm? spring weighted arm? If your starting to reveal your runner maybe you should start another thread? But if not then thats fine with me. I have your Youtube site in my favorites already 


I can guess that the weight of the wheel and weights creates considerable mass for a wheel of this size. Is this where your finger was attacked?

The test was very interesting and it is not the start of any of my serious wheels. I also spun it as fast as I could without the arm weight and it only ran for 2 1/2 minutes. Being only 10 inches it will not spin as long as a larger wheel of like design. I get an extra boost effect with the arm weight. That is was is important to this test. The reason I started posting these test is that people are trying to design wheels and have no idea of the weight effects that they are facing. The drop test is also interesting from the 12:00 drop it would go around and back up to the 11:15 to 30 mark. For a drop test that is a massive increase over any standard drop test, which means close. Now this is a possible application to help some designs for a possible continuous wheel.
