RE: Physics Question
With no friction a wheel would continue turning in a vacuum indefinitely (even though there's gravity). A chain (or rather a smooth string with no ridges) on a spindle would do the same in the same conditions. Unintuitive things happen when you eliminate fundamental principles of physics, doesn't necessarily make the model useless, just limited.
