A. I'll try an be less ambiguous and more insightful - I can not give you new information but I can repeat what I've said before about it .. the runner gaining energy to do Work is problematic to explain within the confines of known Physics without stored energy reserves needing replenishment - for a runner to output mechanical energy it must also use input energy etc etc - and that raises the question of where does this come from if not transferring and transforming momentum from earth system to wheel system ? - we suspect that runners were purely mechanical contrivances - therefore we expect that a large portion of their mechanical nature was down to implementing "simple-machines" which are conservative - therefore a runner must have an element of machines in its manufacture which are not simple-machines, tho mechanics per se, to bridge the gap to a non-conservative outcome so to speak - i.e. a mechanical method of reducing back-torque to give periodic torque asymmetry i.e. net positive forward torque conditions to cause a gaining of momentum and RKE in a runner - this could be considered the Perpetual Motion Principle, operationally embodied in a unique mechanical form !-f wrote:.. or perhaps the mechanics of Prime Mover shape transformation and recovery are so unique that the runner can not find the PQ position because it has an extra speed given forever kicking it on by the PQ, but that is even harder to explain rationally in known physics terms ..
And this might go some way to explaining why each runner is designed for a maximum unloaded operating rpm - proportions and by design - in that the higher the operating rpm, and considering the 'lag effect', the Prime Mover mechanism might well have to be unlatched and released earlier, morph and recover later, at various higher operating rpms etc ..
