On more intersting (and on topic)matters, I tested parts of my
'separate weights act as one sometimes' idea on modeling
software, and it LOOKS like it may work. No, I did not model
the whole thing, I have the damn demo version of Working Model
and I can't save...
It's the '8 weights move down one and lift 1 weight 8x high'
trick with some features that seem to 'allow' it to work,
with perhaps 20-30% OU. (May get better as it revs up)
1. It uses no levers, at least in the usual way...
2. Weights in the wheel do not make it turn...
A few people here David+? have talked about getting
Besslers 'it'
(the main trick that allows PM?) here on this board;
I'd love to know what 'it' is... I have several ideas
involving spinning weights, balanced or not!
Perhaps we can talk in private? I just want to know 'it',
not design details.
Trust me, if this works I will post video of it!
