I am a newcomer to this forum and haven't even begun to read all of the many threads and topics. I have been contemplating the Bessler wheel for about 20 years and dabbled in a few construction attempts. I am not a physics guru or trained mechanical engineer, but have built many mechanical and electronic devices over the past 40 years as chief engineer for a small electronics company.
Not being trained in the nuances of writing scripts or doing complex computations on moving bodies, I am using a very simple approach with WM2D to vet wheel designs that would probably be useful especially to beginning users of WM2D. If this method is of interest, I can outline it here or start a new topic as I don't want to derail this thread.
What I am doing in the way of simple vetting of wheel designs using what I think is a unique approach, may have already been explored here, and I have not yet found it in a search.
Your input on which direction to go with this approach would be appreciated, but so far as a newcomer, I'm a bit disappointed at the lack of a single reply.
Kind regards
eeman
Hello & welcome.
As this old topic is about WM2D and its quirks, it's likely your added method would become as hard to find as those other methods.
Please feel free to create a new topic about testing wheels.

I have a few questions about file sizes and file extensions for attachments but could not find anything on the FAQ listing.
I am interested in posting small video files of exported WM2D runs for those who do not have WM2d. The files would typically be typically less than 1 MByte per post and will usually be accompanied by the .WM2d file for those that have the program. I might also include a small .jpg file for a quick visual.
I will start a new topic for the method of testing I am proposing, once I come up with a reasonably good name for it.
I hope one of the moderators or someone could point me to where allowable file size and type info is located.
