: Hi Øystein,
: Thanks a lot for your post. I would like to follow up by posting the relevant discussion we had recently about this topic. Hopefully it will help catch people up on the ideas and illicit some responses...

excerpt from an email from Øystein - 1/1/2003
I have now done a more thorough description of my "double centrifugal pendulum principle".
Now you maybe will understand what I mean :-)
I can`t see why this at least theoretically is a Gravity harnessing principle !
-------------------------------------
I love the picture with this:a lot of what I am trying...
---------------------------------------
I have been playing with 3 things with my wheels:
1: Using pulley/cables to "redirect" force
to any other direction
2:Using weights balanced against each other,(easy to move)
but unbalanced to the wheel (possible with pulleys)
3:Having weights supported external from wheel for part
of the cycle (this seems most promising, but clunky-more soon)
I love this stuff!
