June 14th and still no working wheel in sight
With the June 6th come and gone, I was hoping that his anniversary would be a pivot point for the display of an actual working wheel. Heck.... I was hopeful that I would be the one, but I am still seeking. The 3 mechanisms that I am using are in place to provide the activity of the wheel, but it would not be difficult to use 5 of these mechanisms or more..... But so far, the place to get the required power to make them work WHEN I want them to work has been an elusive and perplexing situation. It fits with one of his clues that the weights all come to rest together that the extending scissors/stork bill is the only one that fits that scenario. That as the scissors extend the will move a weight to the rim of the wheel from the center. When they retract and have been made properly they all come to lay against each other. Taking this phrase (clue) out of context can lead to thousands of hours of intense research and development with some pretty weird events. But the stork bill extending scissors fits the clue perfectly. I do have a CNC mill, lathe and CNC router table and have found them pretty easy to fabricate. The key is that the holes must be perfectly aligned. Then the mechanism can perform flawlessly. It takes a small duration of force and turns it into a longer distance. Plus when extended it also provides a rotational force as well.
Now working on the collection of the required energy, and feel like I have made progress. I have now officially named the shop AWZ and of course............... I AM the Wizard of AWZ
We are encouraging our good friend John Collins to keep building, for it seems that he is the only one who understands the clues.
Really hot in the shop right now with no air conditioning its a sweaty situation
There is much to do and even more to tell...............
But for now I AM a Perpetuum Mobilist
