Page 9, Square Bar Weights Not Beneficial


April 2, 2020

I am not so sure that the new pendulum weights are going to work out. I have both weights installed & I have replaced their pivot bolts with somewhat longer ones so I can get a full nut on them. I also had to reinforce the stops because they were getting bent. Since I have them set 90 degrees out of phase there is no way for the weights to contact one another, so I am using both planet gears without the raised pivot.
Forward thrust (with V3 weights) is present but is not as good as I was hoping. I may go back to the V2 weights.
