We live in strange times. Global warming leading to freak weather; heat waves, torrential rain, hurricanes, sumamies, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and each seemingly more intense.
We are told that greenhouse gas produced from vehicle exhausts and other fossil burning devices is the cause of the gradual warming up of our planet earth. But then there are some who blame it on the fluctuations in the sun’s heat output and can point to previous historical cold and warm periods each matched closely to the sunspot activity.
Regardless of who is correct, events seem to be conspiring to a point where we are about to become desperate for a solution to an alternative way of producing electricity. The burning of fossil fuel and its dangerous side effects is becoming an increasingly unacceptable risk to human life. The remaining sources of fossil fuels is diminishing and will either run out or be too expensive to recover. None of the alternatives are universally practical, be it solar panels, windmills, geothermal energy, tidal etc, etc. Each has its merits but each also has its negative aspects. Nuclear power is of limited benefit considering the difficulty of dealing with its waste products and its huge expense.

Global temperatures will continue to rise as long as we continue to burn fossil fuels, therefore electricity is the most important and user-friendly power source available to us today and tomorrow - if only there was a way to generate it without the need to locate in a sunny or windy or coastal waterway etc.
The following abbreviated exctract comes from an article published by the Union of Concerned Scientists
"To effectively address these growing climate risks — and ensure a reliable supply of electricity for years to come — we must take steps today to improve our aging electricity infrastructure and reduce the carbon emissions that are driving up the planet's temperature.
Ramping up renewable energy is a key component of this effort, both to make our electricity system more resilient and reliable in the short-term, and to curb climate change over the long-term.
Smaller-scale, more distributed power: Renewable technologies like wind-turbines and rooftop solar panels are small, distributed, and often weather storms and heat waves better than conventional power plants. If individual turbines or solar panels are damaged, the impact on the grid is far less than if a large coal or nuclear plant goes off-line."
Small-scale generaters looks like a perfect description of Bessler's wheel.
We need to solve the puzzle of Bessler's wheel now, and stop burning fossil fuels as quickly as possible to bring global warming to a stop. Clearly it will be like trying to bring a huge ship to a stop but we have to start soon and the sooner the better.

We are onboard with your evaluation John, with your intimate knowledge I was hoping that your insights into the construction would be a key to finally figuring this thing out. All these years that you have spent helping us all to understand his thoughts words and actions have been a lightpost for us all to use. If not a working wheel, then when is your next book to be published.... Keep the faith my friend, I know that together we can figure this out.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gravittea, my own wheel is making good progress, it’s just me that is taking so long! I have so many things that require my attention I seem to be taking for ever. If I was a gambling man I’d bet on me succeeding soon,just don’t ask me how long! 🤔
DeleteI fear once the secret of Bessler's Wheel is revealed, a vast amount of trees will be felled so people can make their own.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I say this? During WW2, people in France were running their vehicles on wood gas, produced in homemade gasifiers, the government had to ban the practice because too many trees were cut down.
Yes I think you could be right Stevo, but all that plastic floating about in the ocean could be an alternative?
DeleteJC
You know John, I'm dumbfounded as to why plasma gasification plants are not in common use to generate electricity.
DeleteThey can burn almost any fuel, normally rubbish that's usually sent to landfills. The temperature of the flame produced is 9 times hotter than the surface of the sun, so pollution is almost zero, and all that's left at the end of process is small black, hard clinkers that can be mixed with asphalt for road surfacing.All that plastic would be an ideal fuel, solving two problems in one go.Industrial gasses can also be made if a carbon based fuel is used.
It seems that the concept of plasma gasification plants is good but the technical problems such as those encountered at the Air Products plant at Teesside in N E England has caused the company to exit the waste to energy business. See https://waste-management-world.com/a/air-products-to-ditch-plasma-gasification-waste-to-energy-plants-in-teesside
DeleteHopefully the problems can be resolved and a very good idea turned into successful business,

I was thinking recently that in disaster stricken areas of the world the Bessler wheel could be used as an emergency power source, because the Bessler wheel is so simple and easy to build from readily available materials.
ReplyDeleteIt's not about the Bessler wheel. It's about access to unlimited free energy. The principle used in the circle J. Bessler explains how to get to it for the good of all mankind.
DeleteAmen.
Bessler proved he was not interested in the "good of all mankind". He greedily sought payment and when payment was not given, he hid and eventually took the secret to his grave. This is the complete opposite of someone having the best interest of mankind.
DeleteI think that he took the secret to the grave is propaganda that originated from those who stopped the Bessler wheel from coming out.
DeleteI am not sure... unlimited power sounds dangerous to me to be honest.
ReplyDeleteI asked myself should we really do this?
What if someone exploits this? What if we are about to unleash something very bad for humanity?
Yellow . Should we do this? You think wisely. You're absolutely right.
DeleteBessler was deprived of dignity as an inventor and threw history into the trash.
Now we're digging in this trash. I think that none of us is doing it for glory.
Here, the need for wise people with a great heart for a human being.
Bessler's rule is dangerous but in a fool's hand.
Despite this, I think that there is a need for a way to use the unlimited power to reveal to the world and we will do it because we look boldly into the future.
Amen.
What like the Atomic bomb? No one in there right mind would release something that would obliterate the human race, oh wait they did. Or Cern create a small black hole whats the worst that could happen (yet to be seen). Free energy to the masses get us out of this money slavery machine.
DeleteGreedy capitalists had coal to sell, they knew that the Bessler could furnish unlimited power if it was scaled up and more weight added, so they suppressed it, they were threatening to murder Bessler, had him followed everywhere, if he tried to get out the secret they were going kill him, in the end he was building one and was going to share it openly with everyone and the next thing he is dead. And here we are today being told the lies that he greedily took it to the grave.
ReplyDeleteDo you think he was pushed? That would be a story.
DeleteI think there was no suppression back then. Most probably, most people (except a few) were jealous of him.
DeleteCapitalism is what we are, Derek. No one forces us. The naturally tendency of human race is greediness. Capitalism is just the reflection of who really we are.
Wait a minute. Cern works badly. The black hole will not be because the principle on which it works is different from the J. Bessler principle. I think Cern is a great failure of science because it is faulty. It is a pity for time and money because they are looking for something that is not there.
DeleteThe principle of J. Bessler is real and that is why learning should be able to begin to develop again.
Amen.
