Unreferenced date October 2010 Orphan date February 2009 The trundle wheel is a measuring device, a simplified form of a surveyor s wheel . It is commonly used by school children who need an easy way to find the rough distance from one place to another. The trundle wheel is composed of a wheel , a handle which is attached to the axle allowing the trundle wheel to be held easily, and a clicking device which is triggered once per revolution of the wheel. Trundle wheels are not as accurate as other methods of measuring distance but are a good way to get a rough estimation of a fairly long distance over a good surface. The Trundle wheel was invented by Hugh Boylan in the late 1970 s when he worked as a Quantity Surveyor for a small Irish Engineering company. There were patent issues with the device and after court proceedings the company won the rights to the patent. It works by having a wheel which has a circumference of exactly 1 metre, hence one revolution of the wheel equates to 1 metre of distance traveled on the ground if there is no slip. Every time the wheel makes a rotation, the wheel produces an audible click which is then counted and therefore the number of clicks that are counted by the user is approximately the number of metres traveled. Due to the design of the trundle wheel, it is not always moved in a straight line and this inevitably adds on extra distance to the final reading.

As the performers run around on either the inside or outside of the hoops, the whole apparatus rotates. Performers also do balancing type skills with the wheel in a stationary position. The Wheel of Death is said to have originated in America during the early 1930s and was also known as the Space Wheel .

File Snaefell Wheel.JPG right thumb The Snaefell Wheel, Laxey. July 2009 The Snaefell Wheel also known as Lady Evelyn is a waterwheel in Laxey , Isle of Man . The wheel stands in the Laxey Washing Floors washing floors in Laxey Glen Gardens , approximately 700 metres south of the larger Laxey Wheel . The wheel was unveiled with the name Lady Evelyn to mark the extensive work of Evelyn Jones in her support of the Laxey Mines Research Team. History The wheel was purchased by the Snaefell Mining Company in 1865. Built by Messrs Leigh and Gilbert Howell of the Hawarden iron works in Flintshire , north Wales , it was one of two identical 50 ft 15.24 m diameter wheels to be produced. By 1910, the wheel had come to the end of its working life at the Snaefell Mining Company and was disassembled to be sent to Bodmin , Cornwall . By the 1950s the wheel had fallen into disuse, and in 1971 the Cornish Wheel Preservation Society had acquired the wheel and dismantled it for preservation. The society later merged with the Trevithick Society , who are the current owners of the wheel. In 1976, the Llywernog Silver Lead Mine in Wales took the wheel on loan from the society though never reconstructed it. In 2003, an effort was started to restore the wheel to its home in Laxey and on 20 August 2006, the wheel had its official reopening ceremony and began turning for the first time in decades. To mark the occasion of the official opening, and in similarity to its big sister, a piece of music Snaefell Wheel March was specially written by Paul Dunderdale for the occasion and performed for the first time by Onchan Silver Band at the opening ceremony, with suitable fanfare.

unreferenced date June 2007 The magic wheel , or magnetic wheel is a wheel that continues to spin for a long time after being started, and is one of the earliest examples of an attempt at a perpetual motion machine . This device was invented in Middle Ages medieval Bavaria . It looked like a wagon wheel spinning on an axle, affixed to a base. The superstitious population of the time believed it spun by the power of magic. The mechanism of the magic wheel used several large magnet s lodestone s affixed to the wheel s outside rim, like the seats of a Ferris wheel . Each magnet was backed by a lead plate seat . An extra stationary magnet was affixed to the base. Each magnet on the wheel s rim was attracted to the magnet in the base on its downward approach, then prevented from turning over when the opposite pole of the magnet passed over in the wheel, thus being repelled upward. The magnets were not allowed to touch one another. This attraction repulsion maintained inertia efficiently, similar to a flywheel , such that the wheel spun from a very long time and was thought supernatural by some. Incorrectly deemed by some to be a perpetual motion machine , the magic wheel eventually comes to a stop because of frictional losses at the central bearing. Proponents of Zero point energy Claims in pseudoscience free energy devices have advanced the theory that the lead plating interrupts the magnetic attraction between the rim magnets and the stationary magnet in sequence, thus permitting the wheel to continue turning and bring the next rim magnet into position. However, the presence of lead dampens magnetic fields equally in any directions as a magnet s magnetic field field lines must stay continuous from pole to pole , and the symmetry of closed forces in the system means that no interaction ... necessary to keep the wheel rotating.

The Sagebien wheel is a type of water wheel invented by Alphonse Sagebien of France . It was one of the most efficient breastshot water wheel designs of its era when working on a low head of water, the Sagebien wheel could reach efficiencies of up to 90 in real world examples. Design Traditional breastshot waterwheels consist of a series of flat blades fixed to the rim of a wheel. The blades were typically mounted so they faced straight out along the radius of the wheel. Water from the millstock flowed into the wheel at a point on the side of the rotation, hitting the blades and imparting momentum on the blades. The weight of the water then pulls the wheel downward through gravity. The breastshot wheel thus extracts power from both the weight and momentum of the water. Breastshot wheels reached ...

When a wheel is removed for tire changes etc., the stud remains in the hub. Many automobiles instead use bolt fastener bolt s to do this, where removable bolts screw into the wheel hub. Wheel studs can be either factory equipment or Aftermarket automotive aftermarket add ons. Benefits of studs vs. bolts The primary advantage of wheel studs over wheel bolts is greater strength due to an increase in clamping force and resistance to loosening.

It is commonly used in attempts to prove the validity of telekinesis , by rotating the wheel using the power of an observer mind. The Gonzo Wheel is an adaptation of the Psi wheel used in psionics . Citation needed date June 2010 Construction There are several designs for the shape of the psi wheel, but the most common is an inverted funnel shaped pyramid. This psi wheel shape may be constructed by creasing a small around 2 inch by 2 inch square of paper or aluminum foil foil lengthwise, height wise, and diagonally both ways, then bending the square slightly along the creases to reach the desired shape. Another common type of psi wheel is in the shape of a cross made out of a thin sheet of metal such as aluminum or brass. The arms of the cross are anywhere from 1.25 to 2 inches in length, with a small dimple in the middle so that it can be balanced on something sharp. This wheel then balances on a small, pointed object such as a thumbtack , needle, or pen cover firmly planted on a flat surface. An object such as a thumbtack or pen cover can stand on its base by itself, however an object such as a needle will need to be rooted in another stable object such as an eraser , sponge , box , or bottle cap in order to provide it with enough stability to hold the spinning wheel on its tip one design even uses a bottle cap filled with J B Weld , a two part epoxy, to hold a needle in place. Sometimes such psi wheels are placed within small glass or plastic containers to prevent random bursts of air from causing spurious movement of the wheel. See also Crookes radiometer ... in 2004.
