AMAZING New Gravity Wheel Design!

I have had several designs that would stop momentary or near stop for an action. One was for a clock motor. I have also used spinning weights but not with gears like yours seem to be. I will be curious on how your build goes. My personal goal is to keep it spinning to get use out of the speed and kinetic effect. So when do you plan on building it?

I like the design..

Just wondering.. it looks like it would stop in absolute balance (Dead point) when the black weight is in top position?  Why would it roll to clockwise?  Or vice versa?

That is a good thing for you to point out.

Actually, the picture shows a perfect vertical orientation. That is not necessary, in fact may be detrimental, for the operation of this system.

Instead of going from 6:00 to 12:00, it would have to go from slightly left of 6:00 to slightly right of 12:00.

This would place the weight at a starting point slightly to one side to ensure the wheel does not balance itself.

One potential solution would be to have the black weight segmented such that when it passed the upper rollers the hinged segment would 'flop' to one side. The direction could be influenced by a small counterweight or spring. A complimentary hinged segment would be at the opposite end for the next rotation.
