Hello !
So you have a working model ?
I thought it was just a theory ?
Lets see if I have got it right ???
Basic, example :
1 ball placed at 10 units (see-saw)
lift 9 balls at 1 unit the height of one ball.
the tenth ball is always "falling" from 9 balls height.
right?
The "problem " people mentions is that it would be hard to fit the ball under the "stack" because there is excactly one balls room, not a micro-meter more...right ?
But the force difference on the see-saw is then
n (number of balls in "stack")+1 / n
The work difference is
M(weight of one ball)* height of ball * 9,8N/ms^2
So then there is enough available work to make slighly more
room for the ball than the height of one ball..
Have I gotten this pretty right ??
Please show me if I am wrong !

: There is no problem with Rutkowski design .
: Wheels are turning 10-15 times per minute , only problem is that they stop under any load .
: I would like to explain a bit of theory and practical behavior in my gravity wheel .
: I think you did not go to extend of reading that theory to the end . Seeing just one drawing you form your opinion.
: Is very difficult to change the way people thinking from impossible to possible .
: Please understand I do not tray to balance any ball with one ball.
: That one ball is always of balance to the rest of them and that rest of them can be any number that is from division of the radius . Please do an experiment, take a seesaw , ruler and balance in the centre , one arm divaded in to equal parts by placing coins on it , now one coin left on the far end is havier to the coins stack just after center , and when seesaw arm is free to move you achieve motion, one down and the rest up.
: Your statement that it would not rise as high, is misleading because it will gain more height when we use scissors like liver.
: Everythink you can tray by your self and you will find out that physics is telling only 1/2 through and is very silence to the 1/2 in motion.
: Next comment about balls or wheels you stated that wheels or balls could not roll uphill.
: YES ! they do ! Under heavy load ,thay travel uphill with the load on the top of it and that is achieving by simple geometry.
: About 4 yeares ego I made demonstration to that fact on my lecture for the ASTRO club. Video is still available.
: Please rethink about my Gravity Wheel . Thank You.
