You have some frames, two weights fall onto these, one weight larger than the other. 16 weights in total. See "Toys Page"; Bessler explains it all here. Oh, and the angle of that side is also important; the angle is only for connoisseurs, but if you know, you certainly know what I'm talkin...

It's so simple. It's all about collision of weights into frames. I have figured it out, all my SIMS are working, from Algoodo to WM2D. As I strive towards achieving my work goal of creating a functional model in real life, every time new things happen so I get delayed. It's as if something wants to ...

Hi Shadow and Roxaway, Algodoo is originally developed by Emil Ernerfeldt, a Swedish software developer. The program was launched under the name "Phun" in 2008 but was later rebranded as Algodoo. The latest version I'm aware of is version 2.1.0, released back in 2013. While the program sti...

Thank you very much agor95, and a very happy new year to you too! I have spent Christmas revisiting some of my old simulations. Those of you who have tried to create simulated PM wheels have probably encountered the same problem as I have, namely that these simulations often produce incorrect result...

Thank you for your comments. I don't have a specific opinion on the subject myself, but I have just observed a trend on YouTube among scientists discussing the possibility of redefining the law of gravity. In the meantime, I believe we can all agree that the old saying 'what goes up, must come down'...

Yeah this gravity thing, it's a complicated matter. Maybe Bessler discovered something about it, that helped him build his wheel.

Hello fellow PM chasers! Here is something interesting about gravity. Gravity is not a force, and since there's no force pushing down on you, that means you are currently accelerating upwards. If you are hold an accelerometer steadily in your hand, it will tell you, your accelerating upwards. This i...

This video is already 10 months old. I have heard there is AI now that can mimic the image and voice of anyone to where you can't tell who you are talking to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvNvj7ku5pY Yes and there's this impressive new one you can try for free: https://voice.ai/ai-voice-changer ...

As long as AI only operates within the framework of our humanly adopted laws of nature, we will continue to receive the following answer (this from ChatGPT): Making a perpetual motion device is impossible according to the laws of thermodynamics. The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the law...

With your use of Algodoo do you think it's possible to have three pendulums limited by two side strings?

In a 2d simulation the pendulums should not interact.

Regards

Could you please clarify a bit further? Perhaps you could provide a sketch to help illustrate your point.

I think agor is right. I should leave with no warning, no words of farewell---------------------------- I don't want you to leave, Sam. You're actually building things while I spend most of my 'Bessler time' calculating and creating simulations. You've been a great inspiration to me over the years.

Here's how to convert horsepower to watts, if anyone should be interested. A power level of 1 hp is approximately equivalent to 746 watts (W) or 0.746 kilowatts (kW). To convert from horsepower to watts, multiply by 746. To convert from watts to horsepower, multiply by 0.00134. To convert from horse...

Ridicule me all you want! But on this forum you'll have to get in line. There are a lot of guys ahead of you-------------Sam

Sorry if you took it that way Sam, I don't intend to ridicule anybody. Some years back, I actually worked quite a long time on the above principle.

Aaah, ring and rollers, that sounds familiar!
Keep the ring at 5 o'clock and roll.... https://youtu.be/nJ7xo88Awyc

There was a spring like structure associated with the weights. Which was heard to make a recognizable spring expanding sound when the weights were reinstalled. The Merseburg wheel was a two-way wheel, and could be turned in either direction with a gentle push in the desired direction. That's where ...
