My first instinct says no, but weight can be mounted in many ways, with the forces to the wheel split between 2 or more points through levers....I keep thinking there has to be a combination. My mian idea is this:you cannot control a weight if not moved, but if you can control its torque sent to the wheel through multiple paths (and not cancel out!) to something external...you have something. At least I think so...thoughts, please.....
BTW, 'not moving' means moving a tiny bit, just to change how the forces rest within the wheel. Not to 'overbalance'
Is an O/U wheel possible with out moving weights?

re: Is an O/U wheel possible with out moving weights?
i would say that regardless what type of set-up one has, the problem is, the distance of the weight from the center (axis) remains the same unless you move the weight away or toward it.
Results first, theories second!
