I did go one step further and allocated the the counter balances to their
location on the e-shaft in order to getting a theoretical dynamic balance.
Since I am using a fly wheel with integrated balance weight, this was the
only way to get anywhere near a dynamic balance. When this is done, you can
put the whole unit on the knife edges and it should balance out static too.

Just a little note:
On the attached graph the designation of the counterweight on the bottom
right says rF,
when instead it should say mr. (mass of rear) In the formula it is shown
correct.
But I guess we all figure that out anyway.

How is progress Richard? Can we soon buy single rotor units? Or at
least the plans
and the know how therefore.

That is interesting Rolf. That diagram came from Yamamotos book "Rotary
Engine". Sorry I did not notice that sooner. Not only that my comments
were wrong too. Here is a corrected version I hope. Thanks for seeing that.
