Hi everyone! I tested my model - it use centrifugal force for raising weights passing by falling side of the wheel. I take some energy from it! But on the ascending side this energy has perturbed the circulation of the weights acted in pairs. I need some springs to prevent weights from hitting one another. Then the wheel could use additional force to turn, not deformation.
But it is the matter of the next summer (I built my machine in a hidden place into a shed in my garden 10 km from my house). It is hidden because of my family who don't like my hobby:))
