I was trying to put a psi wheel together when i had a great idea!

Could we use a radiometer instead? it is enclosed and frictionless! Smile

I am going to get one. If you have one can you tell if it works?

Probably better then a pin wheel. Doesn't hurt to try, but I wouldn't get it if it's expensive.

I just realized that it's a multi tool, You can use it for sliding and rolling. hahah.

This is interesting. Give it a try and see if it works. Although I suggest just using a psi-wheel, its much cheaper and easier to get.

I always thought about getting one of those magnetic tops that I always see at the store. you could use it as a pendulum or a psiwheel, provided you're not balked by the weight of it.

I dunno.... the question I have is this: what's it's original purpose? I have no idea what a radiometer is for(guessing it's something about measuring radiation from the name, but who knows).

Assuming it won't be spinning at the drop of a hat by something(like wind, for a regular psi-wheel), I'd say that's a pretty good idea.

It absorbs sunlight and uses it in a simple propulsion system. Sumlight makes it spin. No moving parts, just the suns heat propells it. SHould be just like a psiwheel, but with a better way of convincing skeptics.

wont light skew the results?

wont scientists say its moving because of the heat from your hands

put a psiwheel under a glass

its just as good and it doesnt cost
170$

From what I know it spins from light, not heat, and it can be any light. The purpose of this exercise would be to put it near a light source and make sure it spins continuously. Then, make it slow down or stop with PK. It's known to science (or at least to me) that there's no way to stop a radiometer spinning other than depriving it of a light source, so it would be a lot more convincing than a psiwheel under glass.
