: Hi, Mr.Tim.
: How long have you been at it? You are John (not Collins) right?
: Just curious.

7 years off/on hobby, 3 years steadily intensifying research, small (but important) breakthroughs approx every 3 months. Current research has to do two different ways to 'force' a wheel to remain unbalanced (neither of which resemble the diagrams shown on John Collins "Theory" section of his website.)
The uni-directional wheel and symmetrical turning wheel use different principles of operation.
I 'specialize' in weight-and-lever systems (with which you can do amazing things with simple configurations.)
I am not 'John', or 'David', or 'Mike', or 'Vector', or 'Scott', I am
