This is an update on the build. The disk is finished, so I will post a photo or two. Still have the stand and outer magnets to build.

This is just a prototype and will be used for R&D. It is not meant to have a long run time. Just long enough to develop the principle. There already are changes coming that allows the weight shift to be toggled to an inside rail.

Decided on open source after a message from Gadgetmall.

@Hope:

That's looking encouraging!

What size, type and strength of magnets did you decide to use on your brass "stems"?

Truesearch,

I will list what parts and materials were used after this device is further tested. I do NOT want anyone using their resources until the unit has sustained a run time. There needs to be other parts built this week to hold the magnets that cause the repulsion of the disks magnets (The A and B Side units). I will speculate that the size of the magnets do not matter as long as the weight shift can over come the center bearings friction. The transfer of the weights mass will be accomplished by landing each flex rod on a rail most inward for the 6:30 to 11:30 (A Side) and on the B Side an outer rail.

What IS important is that builders understand the principle the device is using.

Still working on it,

Richard Williams

@Hope:

I respect your opinion and appreciate your efforts to save others disappointment.

Looking forward to see what comes of your design

Can't spend time today due to conflicts in my schedule. I have decided to revise the disk to hold an inner and outer rail. This will allow the mass moved on the flex rods to push on the rails and give the device weight shift, more so than just flex.

Spend a lot of time today just replacing a lens on the BMW 525i headlight assembly. What a time consuming design to repair.

Thanks for your messages.

This is drawing one revised. It provides a way to transfer the weight to both inside and outside of the disk. This imbalance should keep the wheel spinning.

@Hope:

Anything new to report on your build??

Yes finally, I think this is very important for everyone trying to build on the wheel imbalance principal "You must shift the weight beyond the central point of the axle".

Ok with that knowledge we can all make them work.

The rainy season has begun on the island and I am up to my armpits with families needing me. EVERY thing including any days beside Sundays off is cancelled. I get home very late and start very early, some can pay me some can not, but they still need to dry dry. So off to work I go.

What I told you all about the weight shifting to the other side of the axle means you should have the weight move from the (Clockface example) 6-12 O'clock side to the 12-6 O'clock side. This perhaps is how others in past times have succeeded. Good Luck with all your builds. I am going to use this to revise my device and rebuild it. I didn't complete my first unit because I tried shifting small weights on a bicycle wheel and it made no difference until the weights passed the axle's center point.

Does this image illustrate what you are describing?

Use magnetic balls. South pole inside, North pole outside.

Hope · « **Reply #56 on:** September 15, 2013, 06:00:12 PM »

That is the idea in a way, the weights must be axis centered then when repulsed the will move beyond the center. This is great because the weights in the center can be heavy and will make the power amplified over my orginal thoughts.

the return of the heavier weights can be repulsed also.

Hope · « **Reply #57 on:** September 15, 2013, 06:09:36 PM »

Also the rods will not flex and the will push the axis weights to the counter balance side, revisions happen unless you are Tesla. This project is getting better all the time. I envision a long axle with a cylinder supported with spokes and the weights on the axis being repulsed to the opposite side to make imbalance. This is actually easier than the original design. Hopefully I can contact Sean for his thoughts.

Your comments and PM's are greatly appreciated. This project is moving along well, thank you.

Tubes mounted thru an axle hub from one side to the other with ball bearings just might be quite simple to prototype. What I am needing is more weight on the down going side. I think this design will work both directions by simply starting the rotation either direction. Can someone model this as a simulation? Thanks

@Hope

Unfortunately, I'm not experienced enough with any magnetic-sim to do anything
