MT 27

[AB Hammer]

I did a version of MT27 on paper with a few improvements but never felt the need to build it.

Oke here's a video where it turns even more, about 2.5x. Now I know how it feels to be excited about a wheel alexioco  . Anyways there's room for lots of tinkering, currently it seems to spin this much only if the wheel is much heavier than the weights, maybe acting as some sort of flywheel to keep the motion going?

Edit:Somehow the sim in the file got destroyed. I made destructuve changes but I didn't even save yet it somehow saved it for me and the wheel doesn't spin anymore. I will make a more accurate model now though.

Interesting, I knew this wheel has some good qualities...

Well how about we look at it like this.

MT 27 Movement
MT 25 Movement

Now from this alone, what can we get out of it by combinding the two movements, lets all have a go then post your ideas...

Hi Broli,
this wheel is also slowing down as you can see on the rotation speed
at the beginning of the movie and at the end of the movie.
Better use simular weights for the hanging weights like the disk.
Or make the disk only 2 to 5 times
more heavy as the weights, otherwise you too much flyhwheel effect.

Regards, Stefan.

Hi Alex,
what is the heart shaped object ?
How does it move ?
Does it slide on a rod ?
What are ropes and what are rods ?
