Hi


1. loads on any vehicle should be placed evenly along the chassis with a bias on the front whether it be an Artic or a Caravan - I fulfill this with bikes on the back of the van by ensuring that there is the maximum allowed on the ball all within the max weight of the axles.

I don't buy your very first premise.

If the load can be carried undistributed then instead of spreading it, you can place it just far enough in front of the van's centre of yaw, typically the axle, to achieve the requisite noseweight.
With a centralised load, its monent of inertia is as low as that load can be, therefore the natural frequency to yawing is as high as it can be. Definitely higher, probably enough to be out of harms way, than if that mass was evenly distributed as you assert.

Load is definitly not best evenly distributed, its best from stability consideration located at the point it could swing about. Hence the often stated requirement to place heavy items as near the axle as possible and as low down as possible.

If was be so kind as to give out free of charge in great detail and publish it on YouTube how many of you would have the ability to build it and set it up? Perhaps a handful but in fact all the world would be in on it making lots of dosh on the back of my hard won knowledge, my hero is Mr Tesla, the world owes him so much it beggars belief he died a pauper.

I did have some hope of success with this, however, if Mrs Teresa May or May not takes us out of the EU then it will have to be taken by some company out of the UK since we have no entrepreneurs left here and certainly no investment spirit/cash. The cost of living is about to go through the roof and no one has clue about tariffs.

And those 2 paragraphs confirm what I and others have been thinking and stating throughout the 9 pages of this thread!
I see someone else has used the term "snake oil" and I totally agree with them. Bluntly I suggest you either put-up some details or shut up.

It's not a smartphone. It's a simple mechanical device as described by yourself. You have failed to interest any commercial venture so you have nothing to lose by posting full details & pictures.
