Hi Sam,
Thank you for your post.
-------------------------------
I would suggest a somewhat "crazy" idea.:)
What would happen if we use two identical gravity wheels, (a) which are fixed to a common axis and (b) which work in opposite phase? That is, when the first gravity wheel's pendulum potential energy/centrifugal force is at its maximum the second gravity wheel's potential energy/centrigugal force is at its minimum. In other words, what would happen if we try to build a two-phase mechanical equivalent of a two-phase electric motor? Or to use three identical gravity wheels thus trying to build a three-phase mechanical equivalent of a three-phase electric motor? What do you think? Would this system work?
Looking forward to your answer.
Regards,
Topologically the wheels would be one. Any point on wheel One (Pa) would haveWhat would happen if we use two identical gravity wheels, (a) which are fixed to a common axis and
the same point on wheel Two (Pb).
The most egregious example of ignorance is
