Hey hey! PG15 from JM's blog here. I was in IB as well, and I sooo understand what this is about. Lol.
By the way, did this ever work? I ask because it seems to be physically impossible. If the weights have enough rotational energy to roll INTO the orientation of the slot facing down, then it has enough energy to roll out of it; conservation of energy and all that.
Wow, PG15, what an honor! Yes, we did manage to get it to work eventually! (unfortunately, there's no video of that).
Kind of off topic, but just gotta say it's great to hear from you - I've been lurker on Gateworld for a long time, and an avid reader of Joe's blog =)
I talked with my friend (the guy who's blowing on it first), who said "Yes it actually works because a segment of it is flat, it provides just enough torque to counterbalance the rotational energy, or at least I think that's why it worked"
Heh, to tell you the truth, we never really did much rotation (like, wheels and stuff)in any of the Mechanics courses I've taken, so I'll take your word for it. You must've felt so good (and light headed) when it worked!
SHM!

@xjvzHD no you don't, its murder in disguise... the fun comes from lack of sleep and general insanity

@darkangelsapproved it was sarcasm. . . lol all the IB kids are book smart but socially retarded. lmfao
