Abstract

The invention is a novelty device that appears to be in perpetual motion when in an active position. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A novelty rotational wheel, comprising:
 a wheel-and-axel system, comprising:
 an offset-axel, 
 at least three spoke members extending from and affixed to the axel and toward an outer wheel; 
 at least three legs attached to the wheel via pivot hinges, each hinge separated from each other at equal arcs about the wheel; 
 each spoke member coupled to a leg at a hinge; 
 a weight-pair coupled to each leg; and 
 an auxiliary wheel rotatably coupled to the circumference of the outer wheel. 
   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a battery-powered micro-motor coupled to the axel. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a magnet-driven micro-motor coupled to the axel.
