If we have a circle rotating then a force v^2/r is produced but no net directional force exists as it cancels.
But if the wheel was not uniform in mass ie not rotating around its centre of mass AND the speed changes over time as a function of the "wheel"'s rotation angle could a net force be produced in a direction of choice? If not then could it be achieved by doing the above AND varying the centre of mass?
