In a motor designed to convert linear force into rotational force, the "Mouse in a Barrel" designs (Canadian Patent Application # 2,665, 419) utilize the walls of relatively small--radius "barrels" against which to press mouse wheels, in order to force the other wheels that share the shaft with the barrel to 'climb' a feedback chain, instead of falling away from it, as would normally be the case; and in turn to force other wheels to rotate and complete a feedback system that forces the 'wolf' set of wheels-compass, wolf, ox (in some designs, only wolf and compass wheels)-to remain in place, and to be induced to spin perpetually, or until force against the mouse levers is stopped or reversed. Because the mouse shaft and the wolf shaft (to which the compass wheels are attached) pivot on the same fulcrum, and the mouse wheels run against the wall of each compass at its extremity from the fulcrum, the compass wheel, and all other wheels that are attached to the wolf shaft, are compelled to move in like direction. The fixed reference/feedback wheels-either lamb-lion (lamb only, in one variation type), or dove-dragon-are the same size ratio as the floating feedback wheels: wolf-ox respectively. The following variations use a larger barrel wheel-one the extends beyond the radius of the "ox" wheel, and so is called a "compass" wheel-in order to acquire even greater leverage, which will allow the mouse assembly to turn the related floating wheels with less effort. Some of these variations also show "mouse lever" arms or wings, which serve to maintain a constant distance of the wolf shaft from the pivot shaft (sun shaft, or lamb shaft) through distancing slots, negating the need for "wolf lever arms". Although the motor may be utilized in virtually any attitude, and in virtually any medium, by convention, each single-ended motor design is shown having its pivot shaft to the right side of the page, and the swinging end of the motor to the left side of the page. This motor does not require fuel, nor even gravity, in order to operate, but only force against lever arms.
