: May be a hard question to follow up on but regarding what you wrote about your machine, were,or are, you being secretive about anything you wrote, or is what you wrote dead on to what you are making? Has anything changed?
: Sincerely,

The answer is yes, yes and yes...
Yes, everything I have written has been dead on, but yes I guess you could say I've also been somewhat secretive, or maybe vague is a better word, and yes some things have changed, although they're only minor things and not the whole design.
Just to clarify (I've posted several things in several places so I don't know if I've said this here)...
I have two designs... Design I is, without a doubt, an amazing example of how you can get OU out of a wheel. I have no doubts about it and neither would anyone else who saw it. I know I know.. but it's true... you'd hit yourself on the head and stare in disbelief. It's very cool. Problem is the physical prototype would be complex and costly to build, so I've been stalling. I finally decided to try and simplify it somehow so I can build one. I figured that if the "principle" worked in one configuration maybe there was another that would provide OU in a simpler design. I started working on Design II (which is the design I'm currently modeling in sim software.)
I have tons of calculations and equations verifying Design I, and I employed the same principle for Design II although I don't have the equations and proff yet for it... hence the need for the software sim.
So... you may hear me talk about different details and sound confusing... it's just because I'm referring to I or II and I'm confusing people (not on purpose.)
