I agree.
And for the or there is a big clue: Forget all the crap around it and focus the red highlighted.

For now, each one may still guess, Through what wondrous deeds This heaviness turns toward the center, And that one rises upward. x For in German I may not speak here, Nor open all window shutters; Yet willingly, more or less, I will add this Nota Bene:
So far there is only one way I know of doing this.
To beat CF you have to cancel it.
To cancel mean two wheels in separate directions and to get it to gravitate to center mean a lift through the middle.
Part of MT 48 which follows the marker MT47.
** Remember when I did the big study on the Ramelli Wheel with an Off-Set looped chain attached a few years ago now ? ..
It was the far end of a spectrum I was investigating and theorizing on ..
Generalized as ..
Mechanically Mitigating Back-Torque in a wheel to produce a Net Forward Thrust (Impetus) that resulted in a wheel momentum/RKE gain condition and which thereafter could not "keel" once set in motion ..
So I went to the far right of that spectrum of possibilities as I saw it, to get empirical evidence and set a benchmark/bookend ..
i.e. First step Torque Cancellation , or Torque Nulling , and then as a second step, ADDING BACK mass imbalance torque - could it be done so that a wheel could not keel ?
Ans .. NO, as the sims and mockups showed .. not with that arrangement ..
But the hunt and focus never wavered from any mechanical means to mitigate back-torque - as I believe this was the simple and logical goal of B. to find his "runner" - KISS ..
And then we have MT's 44 & 48 - so different from the others he praises - yet with additions of appendages and applications they can be runners - so the method of OOB isn't important (the one moves in and the other moves out) - the Prime Mover apparatus has always been the key to any OOB wheel being a runner imo .. and that allows for reducing/mitigating back-torque conditions by bringing into the system an unrecognised for its potential energy/momentum source, automatically replenishable, but not a 'fuel' per se, imo !
Happy hunting dax ..
