Achieved!

It was impossible for this thing to work without compounding resonances from the springs.
The ratio between the rotation and the spring leangth/tention is key.

The springs cause the weights to bounce at a specific frequency.
this frequency causes the weights to almost hit the stoppers somewhere at the 9 o clock point
of the wheel causing a slight anticlockwise push.

I designed this innitially to see if the wheel would turn due to the arrangement of the
wheel and wieghts. this turned out impossible due to the forces canceling out.
In my frustration I tinkered with the spring properties in hopes to get it to turn.
I played with a starting rotation speed of around 3 rpm (activated by pressing "enter").
This gets it up to speed then the motor can be switched off.
It's only when I hit a sweet spot of rotation and resonance that it worked
but not in the way I designed.

the plot shows the speed of the pink ballancing weight. since the weel isn't perfectly ballanced,
theres a wobble in the sine wave but the general speed seems to be steadily increasing and
gets unstable around the 4m/s mark due to the imbalanced wheel. My second design is much
more stable. there will no doubt be a maximum speed at some point. this design can be vastly
improved since this is set in a vacume and outputs a tiny amount of power.

Resonance, like Nikola Tesla implied, is what makes this thing turn and even increase in speed.
