Nice try Stefan. But that's not my answer. It does have something to do with energy conservation. and easy to build. If you are in Besslers time what would you probably do. We need to think out of the box. There is an easy explanation to this.

So any one else care to try? And I do think there is a magnetic apparatus which may help but not neccessary.

p.s I'll give the answer when I see more interested people like you here

Hi gurangax,

nice three-ball-design (your .doc).

in this stage, it will not work, as you also mentioned. You are invited to tell us your ideas. i am interested. So what are the "few techniques how to make this wheel unbalanced" ?

As i see, you read the Chas Campell thread. More at the end of this thread, he tried this snookers wheel. he takes out a ball and wants to carry it up the other side by setting it more inside rolling over a ramp. obviously you read this thread. we already discussed it in detail and it will not work this way. this snookers wheel is not his first wheel, which works in my opinion. but he is not sharing it. this gives you the chance to put in your competence.

Do you have a working modell already or do you have seen one somewhere in your country?

Kind regards,

Johannes

Gurangax,

The only idea that come in my mind to make the well work is the ball that go up must be as near as possible on the shaft while the other ball that come down need to be at the radius position. But I have no idea how you can do it without balancing the wheel!

Please tell us what you have found.

Hi gurangax,
energy conservation ?
I can only imagine conservation of the conversion of kinetic energy ( movement of the weights)
into potential energy ( stored spring energy) and pulling the weights back up.

When you told us,
you want to get a weight out of`the wheel when it is down,
how do you get it up again afterwards ?
Do you split the weights up into smaller parts and move them up in smaller weight pieces but more in
the same time ?
Or how should this work ?

Regards, Stefan.
