EXPERIMENTATION
With the simpler design I felt obligated to find some basic
experimental evidence.
What I found was something my step-father already mentioned
once--the effective weight of a rolling object on a slope is
really approximately the same as usual. I had been hoping that
since it is easier to push a car on wheels, that the wheels on a
slope actually reduce the necessary weight that must be pushed.
Apparently this is not so. The only thing that is eliminated is
friction and related forces. Revision: Experiment 2 vindicated
that it is possible to lift something up a ramp at a greater radius.

LEFT: The ramp did not allow a
beanbag at a lesser leverage radius
to lift the beanbag on the slope.
Instead the beanbag on the slope
raised the other beanbag
somewhat. This was the opposite
of the result I expected.

may yet be a way to apply the
results of the experiment to a
different design.
