Wobble Wheel Maximizes AntiGravity Effect

My six inch Wobble Wheel that I have developed for polishing flat glass surfaces has a gyroscopic nature.  This is simply because it is a wheel and it spins between 1200 and 2000 RPMs. Any wheel that spins has a gyroscopic effect.  Which means that any spinning wheel also has gyroscopic precession.  Which appears to be a kind of antigravity.  If you would like to see what I am talking about check out this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeyDf4ooPdo  Just copy paste it into your browser if it doesn't click for you.  It is definitely way too cool!  Nonetheless this effect does make it easier to work with wheels that have less weight and greater gyroscopic precession.  To accomplish this it is necessary to transfer most of the weight to the outer edge.  Which I have done by designing the aluminum base with six large holes.  The polishing pad is also a simple ring.  Because of these two innovations most of the weight has been moved to the outer rim.  So the gyroscopic precession has been increased, including what appears to be also;...an 'antigravity effect'.

Does this interest you?  Would you like to own your own antigravity Wobble Wheel?  Just send me an email henrygroverjr@gmail.com
