So I'm a fucking idiot, fine--------------------Sam

So; it was a bad idea. Please forget I mentioned it----------------Sam

If you fail to see the connection; it's fine with me------------Sam

jb,
Here's what I'm suggesting. If a pend. drives a wheel for 90 degrees / 1/4 turn, around the 3:00 position, it can easily turn or drive the wheel 4 quarters or one full turn--------Sam

An Idea, Pendulums are inherently well suited for 90 degrees of operation. I.E., 90 degrees is there best driving angle and, they can reset in the following 90 degrees. Could The "Great Craftsman Rule" be applied to pendulums? He was talking about quarters of a circle, maybe that's what he...

I'm afraid I'm stuck with the monkey----------------Sam

johannesbender,(jb), I prefer how to why. Why kind of implies that it can't be done. Anyway, I like how better. How to do it, I feel should be the question to ask. It has been allusive, to say the least. FWEIW, pendulums still remain one of the better ways to drive a wheel, if a way could be found t...

I'm getting nowhere with my rollers. I've decided to go back to pendulums. Maybe there is a way to use the new input drive to reset them--------------Sam

Tarsier,
Don't listen to me. I say things but I don't know any thing. Today I'm back to zero----------Sam

Once again; not working. At this rate I think the monkey has me beat-----------Sam

To@,
It's not complicated. The force of gravity is converted directly into mechanical energy-----------Sam

Some details, Drum diameter 11 inches, roller 5.8 inches, weight 5 pounds. The input drive Assy. will turn the roller 1.2 times faster than the wheel speed. I'm unsure what it will do, if any thing---------------------Sam ETA Correction. I should have said 1.2 times the normal speed of the roller, w...

No SHADOW, I don't think so; it was too big of a jump. Other things had to precede it--Sam

Fletcher,
Seams like a good way to do it to me. The simplest, the easiest and the strongest. I don't see the reason to ridicule him-------------------Sam

Georg, What can I say; I have to make my own mistakes-----------------Sam
