No bets. We will see. Testing will tell as the numbers only predict. They make scence, in theory. As does my theory. So like you say, it's right in the edge. The friction will be the main thing.. Each screw wheel sytem will only have 2 sets of bearings. With the contact between the two wheels making 3 points where friction will cause resistance(apart from the screw scooping the water at the bottom. Magnets could be used in the shaft and wheels so parts will not touch. Zero friction. But would the machine generate enough to power the magnets?

Something tells me that the balence is the key here and neutralises something. What.????, or at least minimises.

Ok, zero was pushing it a bit. Air will not hold it back as it wnt really be turning that fast. The water being collected at the bottom will. and could create a wobble if not collected the same time it drops.edit on 24-5-2012 by Wifibrains because: (no reason given)

Ok guys You have forced me to think more! I've come up with another design should my first one fail. I'm not saying this will work as it will deliver less.2/3 to be pressice. Can more speed be given to the iner circle somehow governed by the slower speed of the outer circle?
