I'm still away, but I thought I'd write a blog update about where I am with regard to finishing the wheel. I'm writing this on my mini ipad, so it's not so easy to write as on my PC at home! I'm posting this to try to show why I'm reluctant to give any information about my work to date.
A principle that I discovered more than a year ago has so far failed to aid me in reproducing a working version of Bessler's wheel, however my efforts to try to incorporate it has led to the discovery of another principle which lies at the root of Bessler's wheel. Both principles are essential ingredients to the successful completion of the wheel.
One is required to settle the angles through which the levers operate and the other is that most important configuration that overbalances the wheel. I hesitate, these days, to make any claims to know the secret, but I do know and understand why these two principles are so important to the successful conclusion to a working wheel.
When I discovered the first, I set to, building what I was certain would be the successful wheel, however subsequently the second principle revealed its importance...and explained Bessler's comment that one side is full and the other side empty.
I may not be able respond to any comments prior to my return but I will read them and respond when I can.
