i look forward to your results. i had to put this one on my list.
but i have a few too many projects going on right now, and one very important one i must build before i can get to this one.

theres a lot of things about chalkalis' wheel that i find promising in the way that its designed. wether it turns out to be OU or not, it definately seems like a "learning experience" worthy of engaging in.

of course mine can't be to-scale. the radius of mine is only 20cm, and the triangle shape is of 1/4in plexi glass. I couldn't find a way to drive it the way he does, so I am going to drive it by the outside edge with one wheel that weighs 1/3 of the triangle flywheel which I think mine will have 1lb of weight attached. I have heard people talking about driving this from the center axle with a motor/generator combo, but from what I am seeing, that won't work at all like the original design. It seems like the outer drive force is very important so as to give a mechanical advantage over the generator at the center. I am seeing that the drive wheel(s) must also have a good mass to them also as he says in the plans. i should be uploading pics this evening.
