I am confused, are you sure you did not have me on your mind when you wrote this. I am either loosing it or lost it. I do not recall ever stating that I had a company as such. Nor do I recall ever writing the above quote or can I find it in any earlier posts.
There may have been some off the wall statements such as Kel-Lor Ent. or some combination with any of a number of members I work with behind the scenes. None of them would have contained the above wording.
To set the record straight I have no legal company, I am a retired shade tree inventer/ machinist who would rather make shavings than sit in a boat and drink beer.
I wish you would quit buying those weights from Wal-Mart, I have soul searched three stores for 2-1/2 pounders and only come up with one less than half the amount I need. :-)
At a $1.14 each it sure is a lot more cost effective than making you own. And remember there is no sales tax in Oregon.

The nice thing about building a big wheel with a lot of heavy weights in it is that, aside from maybe winding up with a working wheel, the inventor can also get a good "weight bearing" exercise type workout during its construction. Even if the device does not work, all is not lost since there can still be some long term health benefits from such efforts!

ROBERT,roflmao. At one time they called me " Canvasback." I had gotten knocked out in my first golden gloves championship, in 19 seconds of the first round. jim kelly I like "BUCKBOARD" better.
I've "discerned" an amazing "connectivity" between james "buckboard" kelly and Ralph.
And I would say that your discerning ability's have merit. The connectivity between James and myself has grown in a social value to good friends who are closer than a lot of brothers. Bessler and this forum introduced us, but has no relation on our trust and friendship for one another. I say this, speaking for my own feelings and not for the both of us.
We have found that our backgrounds and growing up has a lot in common. Even our Birthdays are only two days apart.
Or they could make a film about them, and call it "Brokeback Mountain 2" (only in America). I hate to interupt the backslapping of this mutual appreciation society - I have to ask James, where is this working wheel of yours?
Have either of you made any progress with your attempts to duplicate James' previously built working wheel?

I have my version of Jame's wheel literally attached to my shop wall. I have not been working on it due to other obligations. It is very close to showing extended run time on its own. At this point it will not maintain RPM or deliver any additional torque.
I still believe that the concept holds merit and am still pursuing it as time permits. James agrees that he is having memory problems and can not remember exactly what is missing. In the mean time I believe that some of Georg's trouble force may be the answer.
So Ralph, it doesn't work - that's what you're trying to say, right? And Jim can't remember how to make it work either, right? Errr... perhaps Jim dreamed a vivid dream or what?

More fancy flywheels.
What a dreary, disappointing outcome.
