New scenery for my brain

[evgwheel]

Just another thought to get away from levers, weights and over balanced wheels.

As a kid I have always be fascinated by the reaction to my pushbike gravity had.
My father explained it as follows; as long as your wheels are turning you stay upright.
When you lean over sideways you’re forcing the wheels to follow a different path and you go into that direction. Since then I learned a bit about gyroscopes and a wheel in motion etc.
For the next week or so I will focus on using that principal. There maybe nothing in it, but it may get my mind of perpetually going around in circles.
For now I will look at 8 wheels within one large wheel on 8 arms and slightly off-set to the rim.
The rotation of the wheels I would have to get from the non turning outer rim
The whole wheel should be balanced, but the turning wheels may force an unsuspected path (No I don’t REALLY believe it)

Hi Evg,

Gyroscopic effects are intriguing. Good luck!

You may want to search the forum for related posts. Go to the advanced search page here:

and set "Display results as:" to "Posts" and set "Return first X characters of posts" to 1000.

Then search for "gyroscope" and "gyroscopic." As of this post, you will get 65 and 74 hits respectively.

Best,

Scott,
Thank you for the above link.
I will get more proficient with using this forum, in time.
All the post were made before I joined, that is why I didn’t run across them

Also just looked at http://www.howstuffworks.com/boomerang2.htm
Not so much at the airfoil workings of a Boomerang, but more so at its other unique qualities.
Below honestly stolen from above link

So, it's as if somebody were constantly pushing the whole spinning propeller of the boomerang at the top of the spin.
But everybody knows that when you push something from the top, say a chair, you tip the thing over and it falls to the ground. Why doesn't this happen when you push on the top of a spinning boomerang?
If you've read How Gyroscopes Work, then you may have already guessed what's going on here. When you push on one point of a spinning object, such as a wheel, airplane propeller or boomerang, the object doesn't react in the way you might expect. When you push a spinning wheel, for example, the wheel reacts to the force as if you pushed it at a point 90 degrees off from where you actually pushed it. To see this, roll a bicycle wheel along next to you and push on it at the top. The wheel will turn to the left or right, as if there were a force acting on the front of the wheel. This is because with a spinning object, the point you push isn't stationary, it's rotating around an axis! You applied the force to a point at the top of the wheel, but that point immediately moved around to the front of the wheel while it was still feeling the force you applied. There's a sort of delayed reaction, and the force actually has the strongest effect on the object about 90 degrees off from where it was first applied.

One for the aboriginals (They could have invented free energy, but forgot to invent the wheel and a generator first, so they crashed it like Bessler.

IMHO, here's the problem. Shifting weights 90 degrees to gravity gives no net effect. What we need to do is find a non-conservative force that works in *the same direction* as gravity.
