The VimmyWheel is an example of an inertial drive mechanism.

I know of two examples of horizontal inertial drive mechanisms.
The following is one that has been discussed before on the forum

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx4LT3GZjlY

The other is the inertial motor driven bug with multiple wire legs, that popular
children's toy.

Have any members seen an example of a vertical inertial drive mechanism
or is the VimmyWheel unique in this respect.

Now I can get full wave rectification by allowing the carriage to run up hill,
switch to a parallel track going uphill in the reverse direction and so on.

This is where putting it on rails rather that tyres, say, has been so useful.
switching lines is second nature to railway technology whereas with road
technology I wouldn't have thought of this.

I don't propose to prove this experimentally though. I have satisfied myself
that the carriage will go uphill and that is sufficient. If anyone doubts this I
will happily video a demonstration.

So I have managed to get the PKE converted to Newtonian potential
energy which is half way to feeding in back into the wheel and so smoothing
out the wheel's rotation. In reality I only need to feed enough in to get it
over the top and with a wheel where wind and bearing resistance is a
minimum this is very little. One doesn't want to feed it all back or one
destroys the source of the PKE, which is of course the variation in the rpm
of the 360° pendulum.

More later.

The generation of the higher derivative energy can best be illustrated with
a coin rolling demonstration.

If you roll a seven sided 50p coin (the large pre-1997 are best) along a
smooth horizontal plane the coin will initially jump up and down with a
rattling noise. This is because though the diameter of the coin is constant
its centre of mass is not generally at the half diameter point. When the
coin is rolling fast enough the vertical oscillation of the mass centre is
sufficient to lift the coil free of the horizontal surface. The impact
when if falls back causes the rattling.

As the speed decreases there come a point where the rattling suddenly
ceases and the coin rolls smoothly.

This is the point where the vertical oscillation of the mass centre is
insufficient to lift the coin. It only varies the force applied by the
coin to the horizontal plane.

LOL - I've just realised how the DOMINANT FLYWHEEL (DF) works.

I found out from through following line of argument.

Notice that I have only relaxed the horizontal energy, the PKE energy, the inertia energy. I have relaxed the horizontal strain energy and allowed it to
be born as motion energy. I have made the horizontal strain energy manifest.

I have NOT relaxed the vertical strain energy. I have not made the Newtonian strain energy manifest.

A good example of the reverse procedure, turning vertical Newtonian motion
energy into vertical strain energy is given by the rolling action of a 50 pence coin.

The centre of gravity of the coin is still going up and down but this energy
is hidden as strain energy within the coin.

Likewise, with the VimmyWheel the vertical oscillation energy is hidden as
strain energy within the Ferris wheel.

Next, to consider how the strain energy varies as the 360° pendulum rotates
around the clock.

Here is a diagrammatic representation of how the strain in the pendulum rod
varies at it circles around its pivot.


At 12 o'clock all the compression vertical strain energy is the result of Newtonian Gravity (NG).
The 360° pendulum is only just starting to orbit around the centre so
Ersatz Gravity (EG), centrifugal action, is negligible.

At 3 and 9 o'clock all the tension horizontal strain energy
is the result of EG. There is no horizontal component of NG.

At 6 o'clock the NG vertical strain energy is now tensile but the majority of
the tensile strain energy is down to EG, centrifugal action.

On theface of things it doesn't look as there in any asymmetry between the
strain energy at 3 o'clock and the strain energy at 9 o'clock but then I
remembered a video I saw recently.

Go to 2min 21sec in the following Mentour Pilot video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l7XO42lmhw&t=4s

He states:

" ... it means that the propeller produces different amount of forward thrust
depending on if the propellers are going up or down ... "

Now a propeller and the 🎡 are somewhat analogous. One is
going round in the alpha-atmosphere field and the other in the
gamma-atmosphere field, the Newtonian gravity field.

... and then,

Below is a transcript of part of the lecture.

(50min 21sec)

However distasteful it is we now have to say the the object
has something more than mass. It's got a mass, and a mass only, so
long as we want to push it about in straight lines, weight it, accelerate it, and
so on.

But if we ever come close to spin it - it has another property all of its own
which corresponds to the inductance of a coil.

This is the updating of Newton's Law of Motion.

But I am not saying that Newton's Law of Motion is wrong. I am merely
pointing out that they are restricted to motion in straight lines and to motion
where there is no rate of change of acceleration
.
(Pointing to the ammeter) (51min 10sec)

No rate of change of current for Ohm's Law.[/img]
