This is a new idea of mine,
which Working Model indicates is a well over OU contender;
I test modeled the important part tonight, you can mess with
various things quite a bit and have it still work well,
it's not too critical (could be OU by 200% or more)
It uses ideas from the FRCM device, with weights as
'free'individuals, then combined as 1 larger mass which
barely moves, even though the weights DO,
lifting the 1, or the few.-I really like this one!!

...BTW, Murilo, have you considered using
an additional chain to connect
the top and bottom wheels of your FRCM idea?
You could leave some slack at the top, or anywhere-it may
help if it does not work...
Also, It uses a strange variation on leveraging 1 weight against
another (5 weights balancing 1 5x farther away from
the fulcrum) lets just say there is more than 1 way to balance
weights off each other... :*) I know Bessler said it's
pointless to try it, but he just used A wheel...

PS-I'm really exited to see other designs working while
I make my own!
PPS-This could be fun, folks!
