Other uses Wheel of death disambiguation Wheel of death File Pirates of the Sky 35.jpg thumb The Wheel of Death , in the context of acrobatic circus arts , is a large rotating apparatus on which performers carry out synchronized acrobatic skills. The wheel is actually a large space frame beam with hooped tracks at either end, within which the performers can stand. 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 . Some early versions were performed by a single artist and incorporated a counterbalance on the other end. Following fatal accidents, the apparatus fell out of favour for a time until it was re introduced in the 1970s under the name Wheel of Death . ref cite web url http www.sabungee.co.za wheel.htm title The Wheel of Death publisher G.

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. 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.

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 ... necessary to keep the wheel rotating. The magic wheel was an impressive invention for the Dark Ages , a time when even some European kings were illiterate. An early German woodcut depicts a magic wheel.
