relay = bad

Think about the electro magnet holding a little peice of metal with the whole thing spinning so fast, that the little metal peice ends up weighing 1000x more than the electromagnet was designed to hold :?


this thing would have to be all solid state really and built in something that balances things correctly.

And i like solar, but its so inefficient and chances are really good that the sun wouldnt hit the wheels that often.

When you said something useful I was thinking more along the lines of a CUSTOM lazy susan (those things you put on your table).
