Magnetic "Tip" Concept

[Oxygon]

Although not a wheel...

the design here is still based on the movements of weights relative to the axis...

I havent tested this...

but I dont see the problem of why it wouldn't work...

If you do, please feel free to share...

It looks like the arm would find an equilibrium with the moving magnet finding a balance between its weight and the attraction to the bottom magnet.  The attraction to the bottom magnet would also work against the weight of the counterbalance, adding to the downward force(gravity).  Null sum?

If I'm wrong let me know.

Here is a solution that might work though(after I have given it more thought).  Replace the stationary magnets with plexiglass, under which are those 'v' shaped coathangers that cause rolling magnet motion.  I cant find the reference...I will continue looking and post it later, if I can.  That way when the left arm is down, the magnet rolls toward center where it is lifted off the 'track' then up to another track which pushes the magnet in the other direction.

Maybe

Yes, I also don?t see any possibility, that this could work.
Why should the magnet at the left move at all ?

I think this could work if you'd change it a little.
Nice design?

I've also done some shifting mass designs.
