Pay attention to the ascending side and watch closely for the are going out as though they where being blown. There is some air running it, but I would say it would make a good yard ornament.

Hi Alan

Thanks for pointing that out.

I am focusing on the possible air flow caused by the dropping paddles.

More to push some ideas around rather than this wheel. Which of cause is more likely to move by an air flow from a fan.

In a still air room what happens when a paddle drops?

A bigger paddle should slow the decent and increase
the air flow down in front and cause air to drop down onto the paddle
from above. The mass of air would have it's own inertia.

Also the paddle being slowed by the air should weight more onto
the wheel than a fast dropping paddle.

I believe increased air flow causes a reduction of pressure.
Does air temperature reduce with increased movement?

Dear Agor95,
In view to increase the suggested effect, you can include a gravity mechanism which twist each paddle of 90 grades at 6:00 and 12:00.

...hmmn?...at the level you suggest;...I think not..or at minium (imperceptible)

..out side of that, then psychrometrics should be a value to you.

Hi path_finder

If we work on the rule the wheel movie posted on the 27-04-2011 is a working wheel.

Then what is your thinking on how it works?

Regards Agor95

If you watch as it rotates, the weighted arms on the way up move back and forth like air is blowing against them.

Hi path_finder

It is a little different, trying to increase the air resistance of a wheel.
Normally resistance is the last thing we want.

If the paddles were pivoted and another weight was under the
paddle this would cause the increase you suggest.

Any extra weight would be useful to increase the speed of paddle drop.

Then a way to harvest the resulting air movements would be next.
