. From: http://my.voyager.net/~jrrandall/MintoWheel.html I converted the following four page article into PDF. It is a very good documentation of an actual experiment with a large wheel.   TMENMinto1.pdf TMENMinto2.pdf TMENMinto3.pdf TMENMinto4.pdf   "Why did this 20 foot Minto wheel fail to turn as fast as expected? Have you ever tried to fill a very large container with a small garden hose? It takes a long time for enough liquid to flow though such a small pipe. The pipes on this Minto wheel were much too small if they wanted it to turn at one RPM. They had so much pressure that they changed to a lower pressure freon. But they restricted the flow with small pipes.   I believe if a Minto wheel is properly designed, it would function just as Wally Minto said it would."   October 22, 2002 James R.
