the attached figure, taken from this link: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/file:walschaerts_motion.gif It is what I thought about the flight when I saw the two handles connected by a biella, because they were the means of locomotion of my times, when the president was already ahead with the years but not overwhelmed:Of course they are connected as you say but, from a rotating hand crank connected to another crank with a tie, you will never be able to have a regular motion transmission.
As soon as the uncertainty of the movement arrives at the dead point, it becomes absolute.
Moreover the speed is for a moment nothing, so you can't even put a flywheel that helps you overcome the stall.
said this, on the locomotive the system works because the wheels are synchronous because of the contact with the tracks?
the wheels of the locomotive, lifted from the ground, despite the masses in rotation not indifferent, wouldn't it work?
