: So, from what I can see, it looks like both wheel assemblies turn in the same direction. looks like a belt reduction linking the two together to keep weighted wheels in the same direction. Believe it or not I have tried a configuration almost just like this, but I was looking for some inertial effects. never thought to try it horizontally and see what gravity would do.. I am starting to re-construct this device to run like Georg is doing. Why is nobody talking about this? Maybe Im in the wrong spot. You all are the greatest..
For me, I am having trouble 'seeing' what the parts do, what moves, etc.. from the pictures...
I AM happy that it's not my design!
(That makes at least 6 methods!)
