: An idea based on the FRCM device...I think it's possible
: to make many individual weights act as 1 for a time, with
: an apperent increase in density.
: It's the old, always more
: weights on one side than the other trick-I think this
: idea will work well, but slowly and in steps, like a clock
: ticking...will post more later...

Pre-part2:interesting thought, you can have chain running
between 2 sprockets and yet have it always be slack...:*)

Part 2-
-------
More thought was done, this method will probably ran afoul of
leverage-if you use 8 weight'stack' to lift 1 the same height,
the 1 weight must be lifted 8 times faster...if you
'double up' the stack (NOT vertically, use horizontally or
staggered-also thought of 3-D spiral!!),
the weights can then only move 1/2
as far to lift the 1 up...(one off the bottom, 1 entering the
top...GRRR!
Or,5 weights working together take up 5x space,for
this idea to work, the stack can only fall 1 weight width,
while lifting 1 weight 5x farther on other side...
lowest weight on stack falls off, new weight goes in the top-
like a bucket brigade...
However, I am proud of one thing-my idea doesn't use levers!
Maybe this general effect has other uses...
