I have done some calculations tonight and it seems
my best wheel design (on paper) might be able to put out
200 watts of work using only 2 10 pound weights.
It is a theoretical 6 foot wheel running at 125 rpm...
Am I in the ball park here-or did I goof?
How does this compare with others?

Jeez...
It's barely enough to run a tv set!! assuming 100% conversion
to electricity of course...
