Dear raj,
An old idea (not tested) using Archimedes:

An interesting controversial approach:

Just one shot for showing a small detail but an important improvement. Sometime during a rapid rotation one roller jumps out of the inner rim. This is coming from the clearance due to the non perfect shape of the rim circle, one or two millimeters being sufficient for the trouble. Two rollers are no...

The slim doubler sub-assy, now completed.
The tripod and the center gear are sticked together.
A pin located on one of the tripod's arm will drive the end of the double elbowed pendula short arms.

Few shots of the next step of the building, in accordance with the latest animation. The purpose was to find a correct and reliable motion, with an acceptable level of friction. The next step now is the implementation of the tripod in view to fix the center of the doubler permanently on the main whe...

One more time: think simple!
The same doubler, more simpler...

Dear riortie, In that state I don't hope any torque. The pendula are here only for the constitution of a reference stable plane and to fix that plane as stopped as possible (second crown of the epicycloidal train) in accordance with the drawing 'engine400e.gif' above. In addition, what is not visibl...

Many thanks to Nobody for the encouragement. Another way to get a simple doubler: the Iarga concept (see the drawing and the post above) implemented in a new building. The four pendula are aligned with the vertical ground line (the shot introduced a parallax). This step must be completed with the ar...

Many thanks to Scott for the refresh of this fundamental geometrical property.

I was waiting on some comments about the position of the satellite. In the previous shot all three disks are stable because their center are in the same vertical keeling line. But what happens during the rotation of the main wheel? The satellite falls... So far we need a mechanism able to push perma...

Dear Raj,
remember this topic: http://www.besslerwheel.com/forum/viewt ... 2674#82674

After a long period of time where the priorities were a mandatory, I can return now to my studies. I spent recently some time in the far south of Italy (Lecce and Otrante) where I put on the paper some ideas (I brought with me no computer). The first drawing below is a scan of one of these notes. Th...

Here below is a detailed drawing showing the concept used in my latest wheel. The main wheel consists in two complementary sub-assemblies: a doubler and a primemover. On the drawing the wheel is supposed to rotate clockwise. The doubler includes four gears, one centered on the main axis, and three l...

Dear raj, Oops! I have lost a 'greenie'! Someone didnot like what I posted yesterday. Have I posted anything offensive to anybody? Don't be anxious, no one gave any red dot to you. I have observed in the past, when you give a certain amount of red dots to another members, this decreases your own num...

Dear raj,
Whatever the position of the axle, the contact between the red and green drums drives to a difference in the speed rotation with a ratio depending of the two radius.
But my question is first: how to oblige the black axle to remain at the same position?
