: Hope that info answered your questions.
Yeah, looked good. Have some ideas as well, how about fixing the system to a heavier larger wheel (a grindstone, haha) so that is responsible for a smooth operation?
: The new design holds the pendulums (in this case) offset thru 360
: degrees rotation (they appear stationary and offset as everything else
: turns, but alas the "unicycle man" has shown back up, as the pendulums'
: weights hang below the 2X6's axle (a la Honnecourt).
: Smithy is at this time reworking the geometry to solve this problem as
: the pendulum designing and construction caused major burnout on this end.
: Hopefully the end product of this is a smooth startup and run instead
: of blast-o-rama and throw parts/pieces.
