In my previous question http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsHKwJRcx.7FuFV._U.6FlAjzKIX?qid=20061006180743AAME80I
I asked for feedback about the 1st version of the design.
Criticism was raised that the burden of the proof rests on me, yet I remain unconvinced that there is not significant conceptual proof.
If it is true as before that a weight applied to the uppermost end of a see-saw has the force to move another weight horizontally, especially on a track when each weight has wheels, it seems that the primary remaining difficulty is geometry, for as I have found before, when the see-saw tilts at 45 degrees, a weight applied at the uppermost end is sufficient to move another weight more than half of the distance, but not all the way.
Now consider that I have found a certain configuration using a triangular track and a less than 45 degree tilt that seems to solve this problem, especially when the cord is pulled horizontally by contrast to the tilted track.
