Re: Official Ultimate Ascent Thread!
^Excellent post, Joe! Thank you!
Some follow up questions -- (1) what material did you use for the wheel? (2) how thick was it? (3) would you foresee any problems using a smaller wheel diameter and higher RPM, so that the speed at the contact point is the same?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
