: Just out of curiosity, does your device look anything like the one I posted-The Liberotor? As we all know TOO well, there is an infinite variety of ways to arrange pressure/tension/force on a round object! I'm guessing that your idea is different and I hope it works! As a refresher, the design that I posted is essentially 8 disc-like objects with flexible, jointed pendulums on both sides of them, attached to the center disc axle-the axles on these are equidistantly attached to a larger wheel with chains or cables in a manner that the discs on the bottom half of a big wheel are all leaning on each other and moving slower than the big wheel and in the process tilting and untilting the pendulums due to short shafts that get in the way. The discs on the upper half of the wheel are leaning on the inside of the big hub of the wheel.*******This design is on file at the Unites States Patent and Trademark Office and is Patent Pending in my name. The design they have on file is more detailed and adjustable. For those who might be interested, No one can make money or profit in any way from this design or device without my permission. Just to let folks know. Thanks John
