AB Hammer design wheel for CLaNZeR to build

[AB Hammer]

Greetings CLaNZeR and all

Here is a possible design gravity wheel that uses a ratcheted pendulum and flip weights. This is not the any of the wheels that I am building. but it passes my drawing test to be a possible running design but there are never guarantees in this game. All are welcome to try, I like calling it the AB flip wheel, and it can be done with more than 4 flips as well but you flip units will have to be smaller from what is drawn.

Here it is the AB flip wheel design.

I don't get it.

How about this http://www.phunland.com/wiki/Home as a sim/animation engine?

Well broli

Sorry I draw like a blacksmith. Each of the flipper arms are simple rods bent or welded at 70 degrees and a 5 to 3 length difference and the shorter to have the heavier weight and the weight are 4 to 1 ratio. The pendulum need to be built with a ratchet on the axle where it catches in the clockwise direction and loose in the counter clockwise direction. The pendulum is extended far enough out to allow the weights to go behind it but the upper arm of the pendulum has a roller on a rod to help ease of the flip. Note here the mounting is on the flipper arms. This is to allow the best movement possible. The natural constant hitting will cause the pendulum to rock back and forth as well giving even more movement and ease of shifting possibility. The pendulum will have to be sized with the size of  weights to be used used.

This should help clear up understanding of my drawing.

Is the upper part supposed to be like MT 13?



As in that it pushes the weight so it gets up.
