I do all my first test without bearings, due to if they cant run without them, they won't be worth much with them. But your design has to have them doe to your mount. You can spray a little WD-40 into the bearings which will loosen them up quite a bit and then spin it fast to work out the click.

Well I won't show the mechanisms the worked it but I will show the wheel without.

Looks great !!
It already looks pretty unbalanced and as if its about to start turning.
Well the world will wait for the 'mechanisms'. You have already claimed that it works,  wonder what is holding you back.

no, no, no this is not unbalanced. The leverage on the right of 3 arm & hammers is quickly balanced by the 5 on the left. This is a common balance arrangement with 8 actuators. Look back at my drawing, you will see there are 5 rollers in a lifting state and only 3 in a leverage state. Also notice the spacing between the rollers, and the spacing between AB's arm & hammers;  see the familar widening of the gap between the leveraged actuators? His wheel is designed to rotate clockwise and requires an energy transfer to flip the arm & hammer over the top, no doubt the mechanisms in question.

Here is some food for thought:
If centrifugal force pulls the actuators out during high speed turns then there is no need to push the actuators to the rim. Is there a way to push them into the center and hold them there for half the cycle? Can this be done absolutely perpendicular to the rotation so that no negative torque is applied to the rotation? How much energy is required to push one actuator electromagnetically? If the actuators are magnetic, can we extract that much energy from multiple actuators using pickup coils? Has this concept been tried before?

Cheers,



p.s. Amazing what can be accomplished with some disassembled gear pullers

You are very correct. To show this wheel as is shows no secrets at all, except the bearings for the mechanism. As is, it can not run and with the 1st mechanisms in place CF taught me a valuable lessen.  I have put this wheel in 7 new variation of mechanisms. Some stopped the CF cold, but the shift wouldn't happen either. On this model I have 3 new designs to try but I put them up for I have much better designs. But since it was one of two wheel being my first. I still would like to make it work if ever possible without changing it to much. LOL
