Another "workable" overbalanced wheel model on video:

Impressive but not frictionless. Will stop in 2 sec.

re: Overbalanced wheel with corner_ shaped weights
I'm sure with a bit of effort you can get it to turn for more than 2 secs Veproject11.
There are a few ways you could do this, the most effective is usually spinning it faster.

Ho I don't know an electric motor could be "workable" ;)

re: Overbalanced wheel with corner_ shaped weights
I love how you can whip up these table top models VP1. Always beautifully done.
I particularly like this one because it has all the elements and similarities to MT13 imo.
Except the internal artificial horizon is replaced by a simple external lower ramp on the ascending side (like MT12 shows) and an upper flip mech (a ramp analogue) on the ascending side.
A long time ago I experimented with ramp lifting ideas. IIRC even placing the bottom lift ramp caused the wheel to rotate backwards i.e. take the path of least resistance. Unfortunately the same with the top lifter.
No net benefit at my house ;7)

re: Overbalanced wheel with corner_ shaped weights
I stand corrected.
That would be way more effective, but it would be cheating.
Another way to get them to turn longer is to fix all the weights so that none of them move.

I think VP1 is making a difference and if he would like to help others get their concepts presented then all the better.
Also we do have a chance to see "workable" implementations of some designs.
As explained the objective is to get a presentation
in the form the inventor expects the concept too operate.
Using hidden solenoids, motors or spinning the axle with fingers are fine in
achieving this purpose.
If we upped the criteria to have only independent verified perpetual motion devices
then we would have a very short Youtube channel.
Keep on smiling.

re: Overbalanced wheel with corner-shaped weights
I agree - seeing designs as they might work in the inventors mind is a nice change from the run-o'the-mill YouTube fakes claiming success. VP1's workmanship is worth watching alone, imo.
