In Motion - Rotating
Allow a moment for the 1.2 megs of images to load.
Watch 2 that are opposite each other, then the other two.
observe that each opposite pair sets up a back and forth motion
on a plane and the 2 oscillations combined describe a circle.

Collectively, the center of orbit of the four "eccentrics" defines
a circle for which the center point is the center of mass for the
frame the eccentrics are built on. That creates the force field.
There is no need to get "hung up" trying to accomplish great precision.
Just make it as accurate as you can, like within a milimeter, and make
adjustments
after you have put it together. Eventually, this will be the centerpiece
of a "flying machine" and this whole framework will be adjustable - to
control the speed and direction of the craft.
