the wedge shape- like a sail - flys via Educated Hands along the Plane Line.
These wedge shapes form by the horizontal right arm and wrist, set into the vertical left arm and wrist (the cock-uncock of the transfer accumulator- #3) are whirled or driven (flying) as the striaght plane line is traced by pp3.
Two wedges - one horizontal and one vertical = TGM.
Dang- Tigers scored two runs. Oh well, up 5-2. still
so far, knock on wood (twice) wearing my lucky shirt and hat.
Is the word 'Wedge' specificaly used to imply that when the flying wedges are set, there is literally an imaginary 'wedge' jammed into this plane of motion ?
If this is the case, then does the right arm flying wedge freeze and maintain it's bend, while the left arm flying wedge allows the left wrist to cock and uncock which alters the size of the wedge ?
I believe that Homer Kelley selected the term 'Flying Wedges' very carefully.

here are two definitions:
Flying:
1. [n] an instance of traveling by air; "flying was still an exciting adventure for him"
2. [adj] done swiftly in or as if in the air; used e.g. of a racing start in which runners are already in motion as they cross the starting line; "a flying start"; "crossed the goal line with a flying leap"
3. [adj] hurried and brief; "paid a flying visit"; "took a flying glance at the book"; "a quick inspection"; "a fast visit"
4. [adj] of or relating to passage through the air especially aviation; "a flying time of three hours between cities"; "unidentified flying objects"
5. [adj] designed for swift movement or action; "a flying police squad is trained for quick action anywhere in the city"
6. [adj] moving swiftly; "fast-flying planes"; "played the difficult passage with flying fingers"
7. [adj] streaming or flapping or spreading wide as if in a current of air; "ran quickly, her flaring coat behind her"; "a fluttering scarf"; "flying banners"; "flags waving in the breeze"
8. [adj] capable of or engaged in flight; "the bat is a flying animal"
Wedge:
1. [n] a block of wood used to prevent the sliding or rolling of a heavy object
2. [n] something solid that is usable as an inclined plane (shaped like a V) that can be pushed between two things to separate them
3. [n] (golf) an iron with considerable loft and a broad sole
4. [n] a heel that is an extension of the sole of the shoe
5. [n] a diacritical mark (an inverted circumflex) placed above certain letters (such as c) to indicate pronunciation
6. [n] a large sandwich made of a long crusty roll split lengthwise and filled with meats and cheese (and tomato and onion and lettuce and condiments); different names are used in different sections of the United States
7. [n] any shape that is triangular in cross section
8. [v] squeeze like a wedge into a tight space; "I squeezed myself into the corner"
9. [v] fix, force, or implant; "lodge a bullet in the table"
putting two together:
Flying - done swiftly in or as if in the air
Wedge - a block of wood used to prevent the sliding or rolling of a heavy object
Construct a sentance(I could use some help refining this): Use the structural strength of a triangular shaped block of wood between each arm and the shaft (placed on the plane of the motion of each wrist) to allow this structure to create swift (uncompensated) motion in or as if in the air.

Check the video in the gallery under Lynn Blake called Dowels and Wedges. I think that is one where Lynn explains the shape, a TWO sided wege shape (Left arm and acc#2- it is NOT a TRIangle)that flys as accum#3 is released.
Yes- the right FW remains bent. Its wedge is the bend of the wrist and hand.
These pictures are great, but I still am confused a little bit. I know from the machine concept that the right arm should be a piston. These pictures clearly show a hydraulic arm which is powering these machines.
I think it is the mechanics that I do not understand:
FLYING WEDGES Example multiple sails on a sail boat.
Mechanical Push-Pull rams on hydraulic excavators mounted at 90 degrees to each other to position and hold the main beam.
The main area of confusion is the 90 degree thing. My original interpretation of this was that the right arm supports the left arm at a 90 degree angle to the primary lever assembly. Sometimes I think I feel this, but it is difficult because my hands are the tip of the triangle.
I am looking at sailboats and trying to see where the force is being directed to accelorate/power the boat. I can visualize the sail catching the wind then pulling or pushing the boat where ever the sail is attached to the boat (it also depends on where the sail is located in relation to the direcion of travel), and I can also see the big beam in the middle as being important; but I cannot see exactly how this relates to our flying wedges. It is getting 'less unclear', but you guys have helped alot.
I would really like to understand these flying wedges.

The KEY . . . it is Left ARM Flying Wedge and Right FOREARM Flying Wedge . . . Not Right ARM.
