I meant Wally's Wheel heating the water by a electrical heating plate in
the bottom of the water tank. The electrical energy coming from the DC or
AC voltage generator attached via the gear on the axle. Sorry if I wasn't
clear on my point..at 2:00am I tend to ramble ;)
P.S. I was thinking over the plans you posted not long ago on the Orffyreus
Engine design...what if you connected each weight on each arm to it's
opposite weight horizontaly across from it, via a large rubber band or a
metal spring. This might provide the wheel with a balancing action as one
weight slides down and causes the wheel to turn the spring or band helps
the opposite weight back toward the center of the wheel. Perhaps even a
straight metal rod would work...tho springs and rubber bands store energy
that can be released. My minds awash in no sleep tonight!
