i now have a video after simply programming the servo motors in the Lego car==>

I've been trying to run the math on the servo motor with semi-circle cam
at the moment I have:
K.E = half * mass * metres per second squared
so for the slow half of the revolution ==>
K.E = .5 * 10 * 5 sq
= 625 and took 10 units of time
fast half of the revolution ==>
K.E = .5 * 10 * 25 sq
=15,625 and took 2 units of time
so then we adjust our figures to the time it took
15,625/5
=3125
625*5
=3125
it looks good like that, ie. K.E cycle is 625(3125) slow vs. 3125(15625) fast
-- maybe we are moving forwards?

Heya fellas- still pushing to get this drive out to space
here's a demonstration of a ram wheel inertia drive. This type of drive can possibly be used as a propulsor in space. In my channel there are videos of my other models. It's a simple apparatus that uses the pushed weight to move forward, and it is brought back for another movement very slowly. This is repeated until a 360 degree rotation or rev is accomplished ==>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psj44SHX_ZQI also have a drawing of the rotary servo inertia drive done ==>

Best demonstration of a ram wheel inertia drive.
