Well, best of luck with the construction - it's good to see that you are actually building and not just theorising like so many others. But tell me Oystein - will you have much friction to overcome? Clearly you are moving your weights around with respect to one another...won't this lead to some frictional losses?

: It will be very soon !
: I have already made an demonstrator using the principle !
: It does not rotate, but it gives you almost double Work(M*A*D)
: back, than you put in.
: read my new WEB-site www.mamut.com/cfconverter
: The mechanican that I "hired" was willing to do the wheel for free, but he moved to scotland because of his job.
: I have let an very eager retired handcraftsman do the job.
: He could see that i would work, and refused to be payed.
: This is just 1 and a half week ago !
: I have spend all my time, with physics and math, to prove the principle, and have come up with exactly the same as measured in practical tests. It is actually possible to spend less work lifting a weight same distance, also theoretical !!
: I think it is just only this one configuration that alowes this. It is super simple, but it is hard to come up with, it is such an AHA thing...

: : Hi Oystein,
: : I've read your posts with interest and anticipation...just wondering how the work is progressing. Do you think it will be long before you can prove the concept by way of a working prototype?
