rlortie,

I think I see some ways to improve it. What if the sawblade were as small as possible? If all of the levers are the same and so is the ball system then if the sawblade were as small as possible then the lever weights could sit with ball system on the left. There doesn't even have to be a circle, it can all be ramps rolling along an axle. All of the weights on the left could come together in the same spot. I feel like I'm missing something. I wrote this response impulsively.

I guess I have "height for width syndrome" I guess.

I like the idea of a strong reload from a natural path of movement like on the ball system. See PPL.png to see what I mean. If there is a lever going straight out from the center it would be effected by the ball system greatly. It would be an interesting situation to try to utilize this strong position to load a weight into position. I drew a quickie (drawing 5) of a lever sliding along the powerful reload location and it lands further out. The black dot is a connection that it slides along.

I think the picture I asked you to analyze rlortie was out of proportion and drawn poorly. I like this one better that I made this morning wheelbluebackground. I think if you look at this, even if you don't like the idea still for arrache, it is much more believable than the previous one. Because it's drawn different it's like a completely different idea but it's the same idea just drawn better with more thought put into it.

I'm trying to get this picture to post right.

Hi Preoccupied, if you look at the free rolling weights, they look to be balanced. If you turn your drawing 10 degrees clockwise and look at the levered weights you will notice that you are trying to lift 5 weights with three.

This is an exciting new painting. I modified the design to add an extra weight. I want to draw it by hand and make a youtube video.

Green represents springs. The springs on the ball system pushes the ball harder. I think the green on the L was an error. The L is easy to lift at first because the weight is facing straight down. The L would become more difficult to lift later but if it can be done somehow there would be an extra weight there on the falling side further from the axle. Maybe there is a way a spring can help lift the L where I put the green dot.

If I add more and modify more eventually I might get a runner. If I don't try to how do I know I'm not missing something?

Hi justsomeone, you're right and I don't have enough leverage to compensate. I need to think more carefully.

[helloha]

I've made wm2d version of wheels based on your design, hope u don't mind

[preoccupied]

hello helloha, I don't mind. I need an app to view your wm2d. Can someone give me that app?

I drew a swastika working with the ball system. I think swastika is a gravity wheel and that mythology represents that it is.

I put a locking mechanism in place to hold the lever on the one side. It is supposed to lock when facing down and unlock when facing up. I show what I mean next to the wheel on the top right and left corner. This should keep the wheel unbalanced, it seems.

I made an animation (with two pictures LOL) for a youtube video of the swastika and ball system.

The buzzsaw blade was brought up in Raj's thread Preponderance autowheel because of their similarity. I think the buzzsaw wheel is a velocity capturer. If the blades are facing the same direction the faster longer outer wheel can set the weight onto the smaller wheel exchanging its velocity to it. And then on the opposite side the smaller wheel can drop the weight onto the ramp which will absorb the force of the drop. The larger wheel thus would pick up a static weight and drop an accelerated weight. I think because the inner wheel is smaller it will take more velocity and create new energy.

If you pull a lot of string out of a block and tackle you lift a little but on the opposite end if you pull on the block and tackle you pull a lot of string into it. Pulling on the opposite end to pull string in, how much block and tackle is necessary to prevent weight ??? from moving from 90 degrees? Jim_Mich said initially any amount of weight will begin moving from 90 degrees. At this point where initially any amount of weight will move from 90 degrees can block and tackle prevent that by adding more resistance?

Hi preoccupied ,

I am no mathematician , but as far as I know , ( we call the times the rope pass over a pulley on top and bottom a " fall " ) for every fall you will double the leverage on the block and tackle . If you have a straight forward pulley at the top and a weight on the bottom , the leverage is 1 - 1 , one meter pull down on the rope lifts the weight one meter , if you place 2 pulleys on top and one at the bottom , the leverage is 2 - 1 , 2 meters pull on the rope will lift the weight one meter , with 3 pulley's at the top and 2 at the bottom , you will have to pull 4 meters on the rope to move the weight 1 meter . If you count the number of fall's , it will determine the leverage you will have , so , not all block and tackle's will have the same output for the same input , it is like comparing gearboxes , if you do not know the ratio of the gears inside , you may not know how much " block and tackle " will be needed to move xxx amount of weight . We need both the amount of weight and the block and tackle ratio to determine the question you ask , and even then not all of us can give you the correct answer .
