: Hi John,
I pulled this from another site;
Marquis of Worcester first described the 'overbalancing wheel' (presumable before Orffyreus created his invention). He described a wheel with 2 rims, one inside the other. Weights attached by strings in such a manner that weights coming down shift to the outer rim while weights moving upward shift to the inside rim (where they are 'lighter').

Now I've read one of his wheels he describes, if he was as interested in all this as everyone else maybe he discovered the secret also? I say this because he gives only some vaugue details and ends it with basically saying ...so I'll leave it to you to guess what then happens. What is a little interesting in all this is the diagram of the pie sections IF they are actually arrows pointing to the center, point to what appears to be a rim within a rim.What do you think?
