The energy or a rotating mass.........
A flywheel, after it is set in motion has a continuing motion all its own. We cannot forget this detail.
It has been my observation, to date..... that a teter totter cannot continue a motion. Exchanging positions of a mass are just that ..... exchanging of a position, which leads us to the active participation of a FREE FALLing mass. Only a FREE FALLing mass can
gain
the extra push that is necessary to continue a rotation.
a mass in Free fall is required An exchange of position, cannot give enough energy to continue the rise of one mass against the descending of another
To achieve the success that we all seek a tireless effort must be given

The WEIGHT of a single washer
The wheel has a set of rules of its own.
Careful attention to the dynamic and static balance is extremely important.
To actually get usable data I set up a mass of 5 pounds hooked to a chain. A single link of the chain is hung on the wheel from a short peg, the wheel is turned to a position where the weight is at the 3 o'clock position and released. The mass falls and a repeatable action occurs. From this setup we can see how many revolutions the wheel will make from different configurations. Making a change on the wheel can cause more revolutions or less.
This setup is an extremely effective and accurate method and is very consistent. I can make a change and drop the mass from the same position, and the wheel will tell me if I have violated its set of rules. As I record the effect of different ideas I can see if I am making progress.
My current wheel is 8 ft in diameter and will turn 93 revolutions.
The mass of the wheel can be put out of balance with the addition of a single washer. The mass of the wheel in rotation does not react like some of the ideas I had on a stationary mass. Progress is achieved through a tireless and unceasing march forward.
John...... if you are out there, I really miss the activity in your blog and look forward to your return. The world desperately needs the wheel. We must succeed. If I can be of service in any way......
