I'm taking a break to finish my wheel - or publish details about its design.

This may be my last post for some time because I'm finding less and less to write about and I don't see much point in writing a post just to fill a space.  I shall return to posting when I have something I think is of value or interesting to say - such as an important update about my own wheel or someone else's, or details about my hoped for documentary or the publication in German of my original book, which is due out in October of this year; or details of the secret principle I have worked with for the last three years.

My own wheel project proceeds, albeit slowly, and I remain confident that I shall succeed this year, but who knows for certain? Not I. If my own success should magically arrive it will be proclaimed both here and everywhere else - so fear not that you might miss this extraordinary announcement - no chance!

I shall copy and past the 'legend in a nutshell' after these few words, in case anyone should arrive and wonder what went on here  So to all those kind people who took the trouble to read my thoughts and to sometimes post a comment, I offer my profound thanks and I hope that you will drop by occasionally to see if anything new has appeared on this blog.  I shall continue to read and sometimes respond to any comment which you might wish to make. Hasta la vista!

THE LEGEND OF BESSLER'S WHEEL.

The legend of Bessler’s wheel began in 1712 when Johann Bessler announced that he had invented a perpetual motion machine and he would be exhibiting it in the town square in Gera, Germany, on June 6th of that year.

Everyone was free to come and see the machine running and he would demonstrate its unique ability.  It took the form of a wheel mounted between two pillars and could run continuously until it was stopped or its parts wore out. The machine attracted huge crowds.  Although they were allowed to examine its external appearance thoroughly, they could not view the interior, because the inventor wished to sell the secret of its construction for the sum of 10,000 pounds – a sum equal to several millions today.

News of the invention reached the ears of high ranking men, scientists, politicians and members of the aristocracy.  They came and examined the machine, subjected it to numerous tests and concluded that it was genuine. Only one other man, Karl, the Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel, was allowed to view the interior and he testified that the machine was genuine.

There were several attempts to buy the wheel, but negotiations always failed when they reached an impasse – the buyer wished to examine the interior before parting with the money, and the inventor fearing that once the secret was known the buyer would simply leave without paying and make his own perpetual motion machine, would not permit it.  Sadly the machine died with the inventor when he fell to his death during construction of another of his inventions, a vertical axle windmill.

However, the discovery of a series of encoded clues has led many to the opinion that the inventor left instructions for reconstructing his wheel, long after his death.  The clues were discovered during the process of investigating the official reports of the time which seemed to rule out any chance of fraud, hence the  interest in discovering the truth about the legend of Bessler’s wheel.

My own interest was sparked by the realisation that an earlier highly critical account explained how the wheel was driven according to Bessler’s maid - an explanation so obviously flawed that I was immediately attracted to further research. In time I realised that there was no fraud whichleft me with the only other possible explanation, the wheel was genuine and the claims of the inventor genuine

The tests involved lifting heavy weights from the castle yard to the roof, driving an Archimedes water pump and an endurance test lasting 56 days under lock and key and armed guard.  Bessler also organised demonstrations involving running the wheel on one set of bearings opened for inspection – and then transferring the device to a second set of open bearings, both sets having been examined to everyone’s satisfaction, both before, after and during the examination.

The only fly in the ointment, so to speak, is the fact that modern science appears to deny that Bessler; wheel was possible, but my own research has discovered what might be called a loop-hole, a work-around that avoids conflict with the laws of physics.

    Did he state exactly when he invented it ! and what did he discover in 1711, in 2011 you or someone else said on the BW forum that he discovered it in 1711 !
    "Sadly the machine died with the inventor when he fell to his death during construction of another of his inventions, a vertical axle windmill"
    Did the inventor of the buzzsaw gravity wheel in 1909 have bessler's book with the instructions for the bessler wheel !

    Was there an organised conspiracy to suppress the bessler wheel !

    2. Bessler announced his discovery in June 1712, but between the announcement and the invention of the successful working model, he had travelled some distance to cure two wealthy patients, to earn money for his next trip which was to travel onwards to Annanberg to speak to the mayor and doctor of the town to ask for the hand of his daughter in marriage and to offer cures to the many townsfolk suffering from ergot poisoning. Then he travelled by coach to Gera to find a house for himself and his bride. The distance was in excess of three hundred miles each way in those days and he probably travelled on foot on his way to Annanberg to save money.

      There were people who believed that Bessler was a fraud and worked hard to prove it, without success.

  2. Best of luck John, we're all hoping against hope that you've got it..

    If the build doesn't work out and you want a second opinion on the principle before giving up on it, i'd be honoured to be of service... in full confidence of course.. i'm turning blue with bated breath to find out what you're up to!

    I'm about to embark on a new round of test rigs myself, to see if nutation against CF can cause axial precessional torque, and hence more CF, nutation, torque and CF etc. etc. Doesn't score too highly in terms of consistency with the clues IMO although as ever, there's always a way to selectively re-interpret things in favour of any conjecture... in this case i'm thinking perhaps the wheels in the Weissenstein prints represent components within the wheel, which itself is represented by the room they're situated in.. ie. the whole assembly depicted rotates, as well as the wheels themselves... "everything going around together". This i conclude from the left-hand side wall bracket - the rest of the mechanism to the right, stand and all, might thus be suspended upon it.

    Tonight i brought my first giroscope, and i'll try find some more over the w/e.. currently have low expectations, yet can't see why it won't work... and hence why we're compelled to build!

  3. How are you doing John? All the best for success!

  4. Yes, best of luck in your work, John.

    I'll have something to say about the objections raised by modern science against perpetual motion in my own blog.

    1. Arktos,
      good to hear from you - always appreciated your sound advice and good recommendations, such as Alejandro Jenkins on Self-oscillation - been a tremendous help in understanding the workings of the wheel. Still don't have a runner yet, though. Like your blog and looking forward to what you have to say about perpetual motion.
      Cheers,
      Mimi

  6. Hi Mimi. In the past you were interested in seeing some videos of wheels with preloaded swinging pendulums. Dave has posted some on besslerwheel.com in his thread " various MT thoughts ".

  7. Hi justsomeone,
    thanks for the tip - but I haven't been able to locate it (I guess I don't visit the forum often enough to be familiar with who posts where...). Could you send a link, please?
    Regards Mimi

  9. Hi John, thanks for your viewpoint. Believe me I value all criticism because it helps me to get a good look at myself as others see me!
    Please don't look at my confidence as arrogance. Try to believe with me that I might just have something which I will eventually share with you when the time is right.

    1. If you invent something you invent it sometime after you make the announcement that it is invented .

      Delete
    2. Johann Bessler announced his invention before he invented it .
      Newbies do not understand they are supposed to announce it is invented before they invent the working wheel, because that is the tradition .

  10. You are arrested for showing a fake perpetual motion machine and then burn the papers that prove it was not fake . That make perfect sense, who in their right mind would not burn them after being arrested.

  11. Copy and paste for a free physics simulation program .

    1. The algodoo program is the best program for simulating a gravity wheel I have come across so far . There is controls for adjusting everything in it , you can change materials, adjust weights and adjust the tension and strength of springs, it has a grid for measurements. And it is free to download and use .

    2. If I succeed with algodoo I will not use my computer on the internet ever again in case a hacker gets the secret off the computer.
      Or is there a way of wiping a computer clean of what has been done on it ?

    3. I got a response, my computer has been hacked , lol .
      Who done that ?

    4. What they have done to my computer, just cause i asked a question . Who was it - anonymous , MIBs or who .
