Dear Regner,
For what it is worth and without actually trying the experiment I would say
that the wheel would not move if suddenly jerked. However I think that we
have raised much more interesting points and at your request. Perhaps when
they have been dealt with we can consider your points. I think that sounds
reasonable.

I noticed this correspondence about my question about a spinning wheel
is under a completely wrong subject - -which makes this forum very
hard to navigate...
Anyway - this experiment has nothing whatsoever to do with proving
whether the Earth is rotating or not. The effect of a moving Earth is
far too little to be relevant in this experiment. But you are also wrong
about what will happen, when you give the wheel a jerking twist.
This experiment is about whether you can trust your intuition.
I'll give you some more time to ponder the experiment, before I reveal
what happens - you should really try, if possible...
Kind regards,
