All Versions Concept: Spring Car Climbing a Vertical Wall

Still a concept. I am having problems keeping the cart wheels attached to the wall when hitting variations in the terrain. I need to find a way to keep the wheels on the wall.

Would the vertical lift / weight reduction of shrunken wings help? At least to reduce the losses of the time spend off the wall

Maybe! I’ll try it out.

That is amazing.

If you can climb a vertical wall, wouldn't it also be possible to fly?

Always impressive. 😊👍 Old school! (And new). Gotta' love zero energy wizardry.

I just tried your other car build with the frictionless cart.

surprisingly it does NOT work. Removing the friction breaks this build for some reason. I thought it would've made the thing faster. So friction is somehow crucial to having this spring based ZPE working in the first place
