: Has anyone tried getting a wheel to be PM
: just moving a weight left/right across gravity?
: Never moving it in or out from the center of the wheel..

: vibration to pump up a wheel or pendulum...
This is actually a very good idea viper. Consider pushing a float in the water. The water will return the float after the use of force nearly rqual to the amount of force needed to push it down with, plus waves will be created that could be used to make other things move.
