I guessed the secret of the wheels.

I guessed the secret of the wheels.
I am from Russia. I guessed the secret of the wheels. The outer wheel served as a transporter. Internally wheel was loaded with goods. It broadcast a torque on the outer wheel, through the gears. The outer wheel spin faster. They deliver the goods on the internal. Thus loading it. It is very simple. :)

re: I guessed the secret of the wheels.
Welcome to forum.
Idea may be "simple"...but language of explaining is hard.
Many people will read your idea and not comment.
They do not see what your are saying.
You have new idea. Maybe good idea.
Do not give up. Please explain more.
Write many words. Explain in different ways.
Draw pictures if you can.
World needs to know your idea.

Sounds like the "buzzsaw"....
Sorry....I should have mentioned searching the topic "buzzsaw" and you will find pictures and explanations that may be similar to what you have in mind.

"There is no such thing as coincidence....be well"
There is a big difference between 'discovering the secret' and 'assuming that you have discovered the secret'.
At first glance, it would appear that you haven't thought this through at all. A small radius wheel inside a large radius outer wheel sharing the same axle could certainly be geared to drive the outer wheel. However, a gear is basically a rotary version of a lever, and it trades force for distance. The force of gravity acting on a mass inside the small wheel could provide the force to spin the outer wheel.
Depending on the gear ratio you choose, there are three scenarios I can envision:
1:1 ratio - this makes it no different to a locked up flywheel. The wheel will just keel.
Outer wheel geared to rotate faster - the increase in speed is achieved by trading force for distance. The outer wheel can only rotate faster if a much lighter mass than the falling mass is used. That means that once the driving mass has fallen, a lesser amount of mass has been lifted, and the process quickly stops after a few turns
Outer wheel geared to rotate slower - the decrease in speed means there is more force available, and we could probably lift a heavier mass than the falling mass. But, we can't lift it the same height in the same time that the falling mass takes. Therefore, instead of running out of mass, we run out of time and the process stops.
Correct me if I have misunderstood the concept, or if there is more to this than you have described.
