Johann Bessler’s GRAVITY Wheel.

There are still a lot of people who accept the view that gravity could not be the sole provider of energy to Bessler’s wheel so here’s what I believe.  First, I am satisfied that Bessler’s wheel was genuine.

Sometimes it is helpful to look again at the evidence.  I am fully aware that his wheel could not have been a perpetual motion machine because they are impossible. However this presumption is dependant on there being no requirement for an external energy source.  I used the word ‘presumption’ because that is how it was suggested perpetual motion machines were supposed to work; no external energy source.  This is also known as a closed system’.

It doesn’t take genius to see that this is impossible, no energy in = no energy out, therefore  no work done.  If we accept that Bessler’s wheel worked then we should consider what sources of energy were available, and to help us we can see what the inventor said about it.  He told us that the weights themselves provided the perpetual motion.  This can only mean that his machine benefited from the presence of gravity.

Of course we’ve all been taught that gravity is not and cannot be a source of energy. But when I read that I always think to myself, but not saying it out loud, yes not directly, but water wheels and hydroelectric stations benefit from streams of water falling from higher ground to lower ground to drive electricity generators, for example. They benefit from the presence of gravity.  Bessler’s wheel benefited from the presence of gravity too.

It’s also a well-known fact that historically, virtually every would-be inventor of a pm machine ignored the suggestion that gravity could not be an energy source - that you can’t just tap into gravity and use its energy.   Not just uneducated people, but highly respected men such as Leonardo da Vinci, Robert Boyle and the famous Indian mathematician, Bhaskara II, all designed mechanisms which they believed might work, even Sir Isaac Newton left a perpetual motion sketch.  They weren’t put off by the idea that gravity could not be used, maybe it was never considered.

All forms of energy relate to motion, so when something is in motion it has kinetic energy, or sometimes it can have potential energy, or stored energy.  Energy is often defined as the capacity to do work. Gravitational energy can do work, it’s routinely measured to assess the amount of work it has done in a particular instance, so the only reason that I can see why it is taught that gravity cannot be a source of energy is because no one has ever devised a mechanical method which allows weights to fall and continuously be raised again while rotating a wheel, apart from Bessler.  It has been extensively and relentlessly argued that it is impossible, but Bessler’s evidence suggests that this is incorrect.

We can extract energy from windmills, but only if the air is moving.  No wind, then no energy.  Waterwheels remain stationary in still water,  You cannot extract energy from gravity if gravity is not moving anything, but you can if gravity moves something and makes it fall.

So you cannot tap gravity as source of energy directly, but you can if you have a medium in between gravity and the wheel, and in Bessler’s wheel it must be the weights.  Gravity makes the weights fall, causing the wheel to turn. A mechanism which can allow itself to fall, under the influence of gravity, and still manage to reset the fallen weights must be possible, and it must be Bessler’s solution, because the solution requires it to be so.

I’ve been writing the same argument for at least ten years, see my other web sites, and still few get it or accept it and yet it is pure logic.  Bessler got it and so can we.

  1. John, you keep conveniently ignoring the fact that one of Bessler's wheels should be able to work in a spinning centrifuge out in deep space where there is no natural gravity present.

    It was not the Earth's gravity that was supplying the energy that Bessler's wheels were producing, it was the mass in their weights and levers. As that energy was taken from them, their masses should then slowly decrease over the many millennia if a wheel could be allowed to continuously run without breaking down. If its weights and levers were missing or present but massless, then one of his wheels would just sit there motionless no matter how strong was the gravity field it was located in.

    Yes, gravity can certainly help a wheel release the energy stored in its weights and levers, but it is not the source of that energy and there could be other ways to help a wheel release that stored energy stored that don't require the use of a planet's gravity.

    1. This sounds like Ken’s idea again. It doesn’t go near to explaining the acceleration and speed of any of Bessler’s wheels. It is absurd, to put it politely.

    2. Can you give a reference to that fact? And which one of the wheels do you mean?

      It is practically impossible. You don't seem to understand the coriolis effect. If it wasn't for this effect we probably already had rotating space stations.

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3D7QlMVa5s

      Besides, gravity is provided by the Universe not by the planet. The planet(mass, size) is nothing more than a parameter in the equation for the gravitational acceleration which drive the wheels.

    3. John Collins, I completely agree with you. The only thing; may I suggest, try not to refer to gravity as energy. Gravity is a force. It's the force of gravity times a weight that gets you to kinetic energy. Do you see what I mean? You need the two to gether--------------I know I'm splitting hairs.

      The only reason they say perpetual motion is impossible, is because they don't know how to do it. What scientist is willing to admit that he is ignorant?? Sam

You are making it worse with each message you post. Maybe I should start writing reviews on the net of your book under different accounts in which I will make it clear that you are a complete lunatic not worth reading a single word.

      By the way, the first anonymous post is also you and I expect that you wonder how I know but it is not that difficult. You are just not smart enough to comprehend that. Honour John’s request and stay away. If it wasn’t for him you wouldn’t even have been able to write your book you dickhead.

  2. You are one hundred percent right John. Gravity is the sole source of energy. A debate about that would be futile. Any alternatives would be merely speculation and unreal. The energy a BW produces is defined by its mass, size and the gravitational acceleration.

    Those who cannot grasp that will sadly not be able to contribute to a solution. We should ignore them and not try to persuade them to believe it. They need to see to believe and will demand physical prove. As long as we can't, they won't budge.

    You say that energy is related to motion. I would like to rephrase that. Motion is the simplest form of energy that exists. Absolute motion does not exist and all motion is relative. Therefore absolute energy does not exist and all energy is relative(potential difference). Within the wheel (drum) there is another wheel (the rotating disc). This inner wheel is swinging within the rotating drum. So relatively to this drum this inner wheel is constantly producing energy(motion). That is why he calls the inner wheel the principal part of his machine.

    2. Is there any other reference to this? This comes to mind:"It's well known that countless people throughout all ages have
      sought the secret of perpetual motion, but no-one (apart from
      myself!) has ever found it. What were they seeking? All the wise
      ones were looking for the same principle ( of "excess weight") that
      I have described, and they sought it in things that were already
      familiar to them. They sought to bring a wheel into a state of
      motion, such that, without the need for winding, its innate virtue
      would keep it revolving as long as its materials might last."
      Seems to me Bessler is telling us that he found the machine in a familiar place (to him the Bible) and this:"Do you see? These foolish ravings of my enemies will be held up
      to total ridicule by all intelligent people, who, with true
      understanding, have sought the Mobile in a place no different
      from that in which I eventually found it. Let the envious soul first
      describe to us what he thinks a true Mobile should be, what sort
      of device one should give that name to, and what he would be
      prepared to give for one - or let him actually produce one - and
      then we can judge the matter. In the meantime my machine will
      be called the PRIMUM, and it will also be called Perpetuum. The
      enemy in his madness can call it what he likes - my machine is
      the selfsame device that my enemies were unable to achieve." Seems to me there is something here.

    3. "These foolish ravings of my enemies will be held up to total ridicule by all intelligent people, who, with true understanding, have sought the Mobile in a place no different from that in which I eventually found it."

      He found it in the "Mechanical Universe", nature (some religious people like Bessler like to refer to God). It can exist despite everyone rejecting it but only under very strict circumstances (the laws of perpetual motion). That's why it's so hard to find. You have to find the right needle in a very big stack of needles.

    4. cwforshort quoted Bessler: "In the meantime my machine will
      be called the PRIMUM, and it will also be called Perpetuum."

      Since his one direction wheels, by self-starting, did not require a push to start them and did not require external energy to keep running, they were actually an effect without a cause. There could only be one thing like that in the universe which was referred to as the "primum" or "prime mover".

      To a Christian like Bessler the primum was something that God brought into existence after creating the matter of the universe to get everything moving. It was God's way of winding up the clockwork of the cosmos so it could start running and that could only be done by an eternal divine being with supernatural abilities. Then, along comes Bessler's wheels built by a mere mortal human that appear to have some of that primum in them! Is it any wonder why he thought the secret of the perpetual mobile had been given only to him by God Himself?

  6. A bessler wheel in a spinning centrifuge in space is powered by the artificial gravity...

    Energy is energy...

    Whether it is derived from natural or artificial gravity...

    But stating that the mass of the weights in a BW is gradually being converted into energy to power the BW is hard to imagine...

    This can happen only in Ken's fantasy world...

    Or in his followers' dream... for that matter...

    Because there is no nuclear fusion or any such chemical action taking place inside a BW...

    Blowing wind is the force behind a windmill...

    Running or falling water keeps the waterwheel or the water-turbine running...

    Falling weights keep the BW rotating...

    Gravity is the source in both these cases...

    But the million dollar question is how does this happen?...

    Firstly, the weights attached to the levers swing...

    Then when these weights reach the bottom point due to gravity what further happens is the mystery...

    What makes these weights go up on the ascending side?... how does the resetting happen?...

    Well, the falling weights on the descending side partly assist the lifting process on the ascending side...

    Is it enough to lift and trip the next cycle?...

    No...

    This is where the bessler magic occurs...

    An ingenuous method created by bessler make the weights go up effortlessly and perpetuate the cycle...

    How does this happen?...

    This is the billion dollar question?...

    A harmonious fusion of the effects of gravity, inertia, Angular velocity, CF and CP forces come into play...

    This ensures that the BW runs non-stop...

    Surprisingly here gravity too joins in enabling the lifting process also...

    Such is the beauty of the design...

    Can we attribute the energy source of BW to gravity here entirely...

    Again it is a big NO...

    But without gravity or an external equivalent force you cannot expect a bessler wheel to flourish...

    1. yes, some people think CF and gravity are the same. not true. big dfference. that example with the two flipping wheels proves gravity did not supply their energy. it had to come from somewhere else.

    I agree you May not have really made fun of me but others like marinus and Ken have taken advantage of it very much and you didn't object...if you find someone unnecessarily trying to malign someone else here why do you keep mum?...and, this is what I don't actually
    understand about you...if tomorrow someone tries to finger you do you think I will keep quiet?... never...

    For example, recently when JC sir was annoyed with Ken did you see how I pleaded with JC sir not to be harsh with Ken for his mistake?...

    Bessler Wheel research initially looks very simple but later it turns out different...do you know why so?...

    I found that only Andre sir understood me very well...you can refer the blog posts of 2010...I don't know what happened to him...JC sir should tell us what happened to him...

    How close are you at solving this bessler mystery...

    You will find me entirely different from Marinus/Ken...I mean I won't disappoint you dear...

    1. He was never very clear about the working.

      From das Triumphirende;

      "As long as it remains outside the center of gravity, this upper weight incessantly exercises universal motion from which the essential constituent parts of the machine receive power and push."

      "Special trials have demonstrated for eyewitnesses that this mechanical wheel is a self-rotating system of several heavy bodies and will be as long as the bodies remain heavy and the universe exists."

      But you might conclude that he hints to it.

    4. FWIW : IIRC the word 'gravity' is a relatively modern word common today in our vernacular. It didn't exist in the lexicon or vernacular of B's. time. So you wouldn't expect him write that it was a 'gravity wheel', as we say today.

      If you read a more full context (additional to that provided by Marinus "remains outside the center of gravity") it is very clear that it is indeed a gravity wheel that B. refers to.

      DT p191 .. NO, these weights are themselves the PM device, the ‘essential constituent parts’ which must of necessity continue to exercise their motive force (derived from the PM principle) indefinitely –

      - so long as they keep away from the centre of gravity.

      To this end they are enclosed in a structure or framework, and coordinated in such a way that not only are they prevented from attaining their desired equilibrium or ‘point of rest’, but they must for ever seek it, thereby developing an impressive velocity which is proportional to their mass and to the dimensions of their housing.

      Takeaways ..

      1. Motive Force derived from the PM Principle/Law.
      2. So long as they keep away from the centre of gravity.
      3. (Weights) prevented from attaining their desired equilibrium or ‘point of rest’, but they must for ever seek it.

      Here's the Latin from DT p27 ..

      (quoad nimirum extra centrum gravium remanet) translates as (namely outside the center of gravity remains)

      Here's the Old German from DT p27 .. (as best I can read it)

      (so lange sie nemlich ausser dem centro gravium bleiben) translates as (as long as they stay outside of the center of gravity).

      Additionally there is Karl's Attestation DT p194 : "is a revolving wheel, which is able to run, by means of its own innate momentum."

      Quite simply .. the wheel is an always Out Of Balance Wheel aka a Gravity Wheel.

      Tho there was no way in Old German or Universal Latin to simply say Gravity Wheel. IMO.

    5. "NO, these weights are themselves the PM device, the ‘essential constituent parts’ which must of necessity continue to exercise their motive force (derived from the PM principle) indefinitely so long as they keep away from the center of gravity."

      This translation could have been much better.

      Bessler acknowledges that the weights are critical to making his wheels run. That makes sense if they were not hoaxed which they weren't. But then we read that their "motive force" or torque is indefinite or constant because they "keep away from the center of gravity"??? That translation makes no sense.

      If they were located at the ends of levers near the outer rim of wheel's drum then all of a wheel's weights were "kept away" from the wheel's center of gravity which was close to the center of its axle. It should have been more accurately translated as "the torque of the wheel is due to the center of mass of the weights staying away from the center of rotation of a wheel which was located at the center of its axle."

      Small mistranslations or poor translations of lines from the Bessler literature have been sending Bessler pm wheel researchers in wrong directions for over three hundred years now and will continue to do so without better translations. I don't blame John for that because he didn't personally translate them. They were probably the best available at the time but subtly influenced by the translator's preconceived notion of how Bessler's wheels worked.

      One must also keep in mind that any of the written clues we have were intended by Bessler to be as general as possible and virtually useless for understanding the internal details of his wheels even if one has perfect translations of them which we don't have yet. Without those internal details we can only progress so far and then no more. When those details become available, then the debate will end and the effective building will finally begin.

      He mainly meant the difference between his one direction and two direction wheels. The two direction ones were more complicated mechanically and needed a lot of adjustment to be able to run properly.

    5. Yes, although I have a slightly different view on it.

      His Law of Perpetual Motion is nothing more than a set of design rules to geometrically positions some weights and levers enclosed in cases.

      If you know those rules, you will be able to build a wheel in which all the forces are cancelled out, and added, at exactly the right place, and at precisely the right moment, so that the torque will be at maximum.

      The fight is not over yet, we are still fighting.

    1. It seems that Bessler's first Gera prototype wheel was only 36 inches in diameter so that's a starting size you might want to consider. It's small enough to fit on a table top so you can conveniently work on it. Yet it's big enough to have enough torque to, as Bessler said, barely be able to move itself. The torque will be low but his prototype eventually increased its speed to 60 rpm's or even more.

    No magnets/batteries either...no any other fraudulent means is suspected...

    1. Anon 13:15 you are 100% right about the need to keep raising the center of gravity of the wheel's weights as the turning wheel tries to lower it and that takes constant energy from the wheel mechs. Sounds so simple but finding the mechs to do it certainly is not as I learned the hard way over many years.

      But during the official testing of the Merseburg wheel the witnesses reported that they saw Bessler struggling with the weights near the rim of the drum as he removed and then replaced them. Those weights had to be located there.

  19. Well, I just checked the status of the parts I ordered, and wouldn’t you know, it’s going to be delayed for a day or two. So, I’ll just hurry up and wait. Anyway, we’ll see how things go in the coming days.

    I look forward to putting this gravity powered machine together!

    1. I would suggest that one should form the wheel concept in mind first then match it the clues provided by bessler and if things look overwhelmingly true and then only orderthe parts for the build...

      There is no point in building whatever comes to mind...

  20. Suppose all the gravity force that is affecting a rotating BW suddenly vanishes what would happen?...

    Would the wheel come to a grinding halt or will it carry on its rotation due to its inertia?...

    IMO it should gradually stop rotating...

    Does this scenario help to prove the wheel's dependençe on gravity?...

    1. If it had mass but no gravity, then it's friction would slow it to a stop. If it had gravity but no mass, then it would immediately stop from friction. If it had no mass and no gravity, then it also immediately stop from friction.

  21. Well, if gravity suddenly vanished, we could jump as high as we wanted to....and keep on going! So, as long as the earth is here and remains forever (Ecclesiastes 1:4), then we can use the earth’s gravity to pull down on the rotating weights to keep our wheel in motion until the parts wear out and need replacing.

  22. Bessler Wheel totally depends on the swinging and falling weights inside it for maintaining it's perpetual spinning motion...

    And, the swinging levers that carry the heavy weights and the falling of the weights further require gravity badly to maintain their respective functioning...

    Thus we can comfortably summarize that BW cannot function without the support of gravity or any similar force...

  23. If an astronaut in deep space wants to operate a BW successfully there to run a generator, how can he go about it?...

    IMO, he would require a thick magnetic platform on which he can errect the BW..

    Since there is no gravity there the magnetic platform would act like gravity...

    Of course, the weights would have to be made of Iron...

  24. Sam, The current wheel you are working on, is that also 30 inches? How long are the pendulums? At what distance from the center of rotation will the pivot be?

    1. Hi Marinus! Yes, 30 inches; it's a wheel from an old exercise bike. There are 4 pends., 6 inches long and are on a radius of 7 inches and weigh 2.5 lbs. Fortunately, evenly spaced holes were already there, so I took advantage of them. Thanks for asking.
      The **Idea**, is to push them out on the down side. Not only do you have to swing them out, they have to be held out for about one half revolution. Simple, right?? Sam

    3. Thanks. What’s that? Never mind, a just googled it. Looks great. A bit like how we celebrate the kings birthday over here. Everything turns orange and half the country is drunk. Don’t think it will be much off a party now due to corona.

      You ever had any thoughts about just three pends? It would be like the AP wheel . If you can get that to run then you might add “crossbars” to speed it up.

      Delete
    4. Marinus, Yes, good question. With 3, the pend. can be longer but fewer of then. I don't know which is best. I got off on the idea of pairs; one being closer to the center and the other farther away / even numbers, if that means any thing. I think of it as having two crossbars. It's just filled in, in between them.

    6. No, don’t give up on the pairs, but look at it in another way.

      This is from another translation from Das Triumphirende:

      Unlike all other automata, such as clocks or springs or other hanging weights which require winding up or whose duration depends on the chain which attaches them, on the contrary, these weights are the essential parts and constitute perpetuum mobile itself; as from them is retrieved the universal movement which they must exercise so long as they remain out of the centre of gravity; and when they come to be placed together, and so arranged one against another that they can never obtain equilibrium, or the punctum quietus which they unceasingly seek in their wondrous speedy flight, one or other of them must apply its weight vertically to the axis, which in its turn will also move.

      -/-

      The weight CAN ONLY be above or under the axis. They work in pairs, one or the other. Above the axis it’s probably closer to centre then when it’s underneath. The wheel is the lever, or the PRIMUM, as Bessler called it.

  25. Just as an aside for a while from this blog's topic of gravity, how's everyone coping with the COVID-19 pandemic? Do you think it's for real or just a big media hoax?

    We just got notices from our local bank yesterday telling us we won't be allowed in the lobby unless we make an "appointment" in advance and then only to open an account! We all have to use their drive up window whether we have a car or not!

    Lots of theories going around. First we were told it was just like another flu and would come and go in a month or so. Now we're being told it could kill one million Americans which is like double the US losses in World War 2! One lady said she thinks it's a biological weapon attack by Iran. The US government health agencies say its fatality rate is about 2%, The World Health Organization says it's 3.5%. Some virus expert said it's more like 6%. Supposedly it actually showed up in China in 2002 and slowly started to spread there but was ignored until recently when the number of cases there shot up suddenly.

    We were first told we shouldn't be in a crowd of 50 or more people and even then stay at least 6 feet from the nearest person, now it's a crowd of no more than 10. It's being recommended that anyone over 65 not leave their house unless absolutely necessary. If you are infected, you could have no symptoms for up to a month but could still infect others during that time. This virus spreads like wildfire according to the people working in hospitals and kills quickly. There's no vaccine for it and probably won't be for up to a year from now.

    Bars, churches, restaurants, sports arena, and theaters are all shutting down in one state after another. The New York Stock Exchange had a loss in the Dow of almost 3,000 points yesterday which is the worst one day loss in the history of the US stock market. People's 401k retirement plans are rapidly turning into 201k retirement plans.

    It was originally only supposed to last a month or two and our president first denounced it as a media hoax to mess up his reelection chance. Now he wants $850 billion to fight the virus. Their talking about having the army build huge 1,000 bed field hospitals all over the US to get the infected people showing up at local hospitals out of those hospitals to free up beds in them for incoming patients.

    Could it cause a recession? I heard one financial expert say this could be the final straw that breaks the camel's back of the global economic system and triggers a global depression.

    It was thought it would all be over in maybe two months. Now their talking about all this lasting as long as through this August and changing human society forever.

    I don't know what to worry about more. This or climate change!

    2. I think if you use common sense you'll be ok. Avoid crowds and anyone that looks sick. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth when outside. Before getting back in your car to come home, use some hand sanitizer. Make sure your immune system is strong by taking some extra vitamin C and zinc. Even if you get it there's an 80% chance you can recover at home. If you are sick, then don't go to work and risk making everyone else sick.

    3. Update. There's talk that the government might send every adult in the US a check for $1,000 so they can spend it and stimulate the economy to keep it from sliding into a recession.

    4. Update. Just heard one expert say he thinks COVID19 will kill up to 2 million in the US by the end of August because we're still at the very beginning of the epidemic in the US. So far it's in all 50 states and has only killed about 100. US response is still sluggish compared to what's being done in Asia and Europe. Many Americans think if they just ignore it all, it will go away. The virus doesn't care what they think.

      Over in Europe it's killed 500 in Spain and 2500 in Italy so far. France has banned all nonessential outings and the EU all nonessential travel. In the next few days the mayor of New York City could issue a "shelter in place order" which means the average person can't leave his residence or he will be fined. The virus has now been seen in about 140 countries around the world.

      The young "Millennials" in the US still aren't taking it seriously and continue to gather in bars and at parties. They think they are immune because they are young and healthy. But, there are cases of children starting to show up with the virus. New evidence shows a person could still be infectious even after he's recovered from the virus!

      More talk about a stimulus check for everyone in the US. I just hope we're all around to spend them!

    7. I'm wondering about all of the "Spring Breaker's" who will be flooding back into the US carrying the virus with them after weeks of drinking, drugging, and unprotected sex in various foreign countries. Then there's all of those feeble, but still independent living seniors shopping at supermarkets and hanging onto shopping cart handles loaded with the virus.

      Those with the worst symptoms of covid-19 will need to be put on ventilators giving them straight oxygen in intensive care units. Right now we only have about 62,000 of these machines in the US with maybe another 8,000 in storage. I heard one expert say we will need around 100,000 or more AND the trained technicians to operate them which we don't currently have. Hopefully, the Chinese will have about 30,000 of them that they don't need and they can sell to us. Maybe they can also send over some technicians to operate them for us and bring along plenty of the test kits they use over there to find out who's actually infected with it.

      Wonder how long it will be before all Americans will be required to learn Chinese in our schools? The Chinese have been learning English in their schools for most of the last century. Soon it will be our turn to learn their language!

    8. Update. I just saw a report that US hospitals are so unprepared for this pandemic that they are actually being forced to tear up sheets and sew them together to make their own surgical masks to protect their nurses and doctors from being infected by incoming corona virus positive patients. What's next? Making their own ventilators?

      The governor of California just requested that 8 million in the north of that state "shelter in place" and only leave their homes if absolutely necessary and then only while strictly observing all of the precautions to prevent virus spread. Of course, if it was an order, then they would have to feed all of those people and supply them with their various medications.

      A government economic expert just said that all of the businesses closing up could raise the US unemployment rate up to 20%. That's just 5% below the peak unemployment rate of 25% during the Great Depression of the 1930's!

      The latest news from the New York Stock Exchange shows another 1300 point drop in the Dow so far today. The trading day isn't over yet!

    10. Update. The US Senate is close to approving a $1 TRILLION dollar bail out package to rescue the US economy before it collapses any further. The "budget hawks" have been gagged into silence this time. $500 billion will be in those checks we're all getting to stimulate the economy. They will be for at least $1,000 each, but might be more. Sounds good, but most of that money will go to pay off everyone's past credit card debt and what little is actually spent will probably mostly wind up stimulating the Chinese economy. Many in the US are concerned that presidential candidate Bernie Sanders would turn us all into godless socialists if he ever got elected! Guess what? The corona virus has already done that! Also, don't think you're getting free money. You'll be paying it back eventually with future taxes assuming that the US economy ever fully recovers.

      Everyone first thought the epidemic in the US might only last two months at most. Then we turned a bit pessimistic and were predicting it would at most take to the end of August to burn itself out. Now it turns out that the government is planning on it lasting 18 MONTHS or to the fall of 2021! There was even one expert who said that this virus might not be seasonal like the flu but will be here year round infecting people in waves.

      You want to run in and get a quick test to find out if that fever you have is due to corona virus so you don't put everyone else in your family at risk? Forget it. Whether you get the test or not depends on who you are, where you are located, and how much money you have! All of the professional athletes are being tested whether they have symptoms or not. That's so their billionaire owners can to make sure they are in good shape so they can keep the money rolling in from televised sporting events. The average person won't be tested unless he can prove he's been in contact with someone else who tested positive. Good luck proving that!

      More and more "young and healthy" people are showing up in hospital ER's with severe symptoms and 4 out of 5 were infected by others who had no symptoms! Italy had a record one day corona virus death count yesterday of 375 people. They had only been averaging about 300 deaths per day. New daily records are slowly being set in all countries that are infected. Many still don't take the pandemic seriously and won't until they or the people around them start dying off.

      The US Auto Industry is closing down all plants in Mexico, the US, and Canada until at least the end of this month and maybe much longer. The Dow on the New York Stock Exchange dropped below 19,000 points yesterday. By the end of this week, it could be below 15,000 which means it will lose about 50% of its highest value in only a few weeks. Still think stocks are a great investment?

    11. Update. I heard a rumor this morning that was a little bizarre. I tend to believe rumors because most of the time they are true! There's a company in the US right now that specializes in making ventilators which our medical people say we will need tens of thousands of in the coming months as the corona virus pandemic worsens here. That company makes about 100 of the machines per week and these machines are complicated electronically and mechanically and are expensive. They have a huge backlog of orders now that will take months to fill. Sounds good? Yes, if you live in CHINA because all of their back orders are going to be shipped over there!

      However, GM may put idled workers back to work making ventilators on their assembly lines. It will take months to switch over the production. I wonder if the machines will have the same GM logo on them found on the front grilles of their cars? That would be cool! Then for showing your appreciation for being saved by the machine, you make your next car a GM model.

      Trump gave a press conference today and mentioned that there's a "game changer" drug to fight corona virus that should be available in a few days! Pharmaceutical company stocks quickly spiked. Then a reality check showed it was more "fake news". They did recently test two drugs used to fight HIV AIDS but they were ineffective against corona virus. There is a drug used to fight malaria, which is caused by a parasite and not a virus, that in the past seemed to show it could inhibit the corona virus from infecting cells. That was in a Petri dish. Whether or not it will work in a human is unknown and will take up to 6 months of testing to determine.

      As soon as the reality check news got out, those who cashed in on the spike in the pharmaceutical company stock price quickly sold off and counted their profits. They now wait for Trump to announce his next bit of encouraging fake news to make some more money in some other industry. Any good news is used to buy in and ride the temporary spike in price per share up and then quickly sell out leaving the late comers to take the losses as the price sinks back down again. These are known as "sucker rallies" and the rich just love them. Amazing how many suckers there are in America that think they are going to make a killing in the stock market. They are eagerly welcomed into the market by the brokers who profit off them based on their buying and selling and could care less if they make any money by doing that and the rich who continually feed financially off of their stupidity and wishful thinking. They'd be better off buying lottery tickets!

      About those $1,000 checks the government is supposed to be sending to us all. There's a catch. They will only go to "taxpayers". If your Adjusted Gross Income was less than $12,000 per year, then you did not pay any federal income tax and are not a taxpayer. You don't get a check. If, however, your AGI was $100,000 per year, then you do get your check. Seems like all of the "help" going to "the people" will mostly be going to those that don't really need it! So what else is new in America? Meanwhile, plenty of low interest, bale out loans, funded by taxpayers, of course, will be going out to the various corporations to keep them from defaulting on their corporate bonds and being forced into bankruptcy.

      Boeing, the largest aircraft and defense manufacturer in the world, will be getting a 60 billion dollar bail out loan, courtesy of US taxpayers, to keep them from going bankrupt.

      If you are exposed to the virus, you have a one in five chance of having to be hospitalized!

      I used my bank's drive in window today. You have to put your bank book and withdrawl slip into a plastic canister and then put it into a slot. It is then sucked up a pipe and travels a hundred feet to the teller who you can see over a tv screen. Somewhat of a pain, but the bank's lobby is closed for routine transactions for the foreseeable future. I then went shopping at two supermarkets. One had half of its shelves almost or completely empty and the other store was closed early because the chaos there before I arrived had cleared all of the shelves!

      Tomorrow ALL domestic air travel in the US will cease. Trains could be next!

      Spain is the fourth country to have more than thousand dead’s. More countries will follow the coming days. This is going faster and faster. In the Netherlands we had yesterday more than 400 new infections. The greatest increase since it started. They fear that most of the counties follow the path of Italy that has currently more than 41.000 infections and 3.400 dead’s.

      In the end, when this is all over, we might look back and see that China had the most effective defence. They were building extra hospitals like crazy. And what are we doing here in the west? We are trying to save the economy.

    15. I just heard some interesting news.

      Months ago the Chinese knew that a corona virus pandemic was coming our way and deliberately started to hold back on their sales and shipments of those surgical masks to the US that our healthcare workers need to protect themselves from infection while treating the sick here. Now that the pandemic is here however and killing Americans in increasing numbers, suddenly the Chinese have plenty of masks to sell us...of course, at a much higher price than they were before the pandemic hit us!

      Anyone who thinks the Chinese are still Communists is sadly mistaken. They are now beating the money hungry American capitalists at their own game!

      Americans are now getting more and more annoyed as they realize how really unprepared this country was for such a pandemic despite MONTHS of knowing in advance that it was coming. There's only one word to describe that...INCOMPETENCE!

  26. It's real and it’s just nature, taking revenge. I shouldn’t worry about it. You just have to sit it out and meanwhile consider the world around you because this is a historical event that has not happened since the black death. Look at it from the bright side. I am currently on a three week leave and it might even be extended. I’m in Amsterdam and we are a few weeks ahead of the US. China seem to be not spreading anymore.

    Most important thing is to slow the spreading to spare healthcare. They can't cope with it right now.

  28. Hi

    About small topic here: Will BW function at all in outer space? The answer will be - yes it will work if met all needed conditions for that.

    I posted to John one picture about one of my tests with my "BW" in space. I Hope John can put this picture up here.
    In this test are used "BW" (the mechanism is hidden behind circle like cover), lever, motor and BW counterweight + there is no gravity involved.
    BW has mounted on one end of the lever. In the other end of the lever is mounted the exact same amount of mass, as much BW itself weights.
    The lever is fixed from its center axis to a stationary imaginary background. This center axis acts/is as/like a motor, turning lever with continuous and steady speed around its axis. In this way, all BW and its inner parts are (sorry, have not found correct English word here for this, so I call this with next) "in the act with" centrifugal force when lever turns around its axis with an ideal speed.
    BW wheel starts to rotate as soon lever will start to reach its ideal RPM.
    There is visible one weight path (red line), it draws quite a nice figure with his movement in this artificial gravity.
    If the motor stops spinning the lever, also BW will stop shortly afterward.

      Just go to photobucket.com and set up a free account there which takes about a minute. Then upload your wheel drawings there and post the links here.

      If you have a Google Gmail account it comes with a Google Drive account with something like 10 gigabytes of free storage space and you can put the drawings there. On your Gmail page just click the Google App symbol at the upper right corner of the page (it looks like a 3 x 3 square made of dots) and then hunt around for the Google Drive icon (it looks like a triangle made of three colored bars) and click it. Then upload your wheel drawings there to "the cloud" and post the links here.

  29. Why not just have the weights situated at a 90 degree angle to the axis so that the force that's acting upon those weights can keep the wheel in a constant state of imbalance? I mean, no matter where the weights are located on the wheel, they should all be applying their force at right angles to the axis.

  31. Is a geared or sprocket driven Roberval Balance Gravity Wheel not possible? I seen a picture on overunity.com that seemed like it would work. But, many a people say that it is impossible because no matter where that levers are placed, it won't turn.

    So what's the problem?

  32. Mechanically, gravity's just a uniform acceleration, and, being constant, it's the same up as down, hence a closed-loop trajectory sees a mass accelerated and decelerated in equal proportion, for no net gain in momentum.

    Yet Bessler's wheels gained momentum, despite being statorless; furthermore, he insisted this was a necessary condition for ANY 'true' PMM, in other words, he'd generalised the principles of mechanical over-unity to the accumulation of reactionless momentum from gravity, and it is THIS that is the inherently over-unity process.

    The only way to break the symmetry of 'momentum in' vs 'momentum out' for a statorless closed-loop GPE interaction is to apply a rising vs falling time asymmetry; this causes a net loss or gain of momentum per cycle. It could be applied via the kiiking principle (ie. by applying the ice-skater effect to speed up a lift or slow down a fall), or simply via 'classic OB' - radial lifts with angular drops. All else being equal however, these momentum gains do not break energy unity.

    Input / output energy unity is only broken when the input energy cost of momentum is speed-invariant; a condition which can only arise in a statorless system, wherein the reaction mass / inertia (if there is one) rotates around with the wheel, such that their relative speed is always zero at the start of each reactionless acceleration / momentum gain cycle. This fixes the per-cycle energy cost of momentum to an unchanging value, that does not increase even as their net velocity continues to rise each full cycle.

    Thus the net input energy scales linearly, whilst the output KE squares with velocity, hence there is always some threshold velocity where those two plots intersect - the 'unity threshold' - below which the system is under-unity, and above which, it is over.


    The problem is in achieving that condition mechanically. As a physical proposition, it's plain sailing. But actually trying to implement it in the real world, is HARD..!

    Not least is the problem of 'G-time' being inverse to RPM - the faster a system rotates, the less time weights spend rising OR falling each cycle, and so the less KE is collected from their fall. Gravity does not rotate around with the system! Yet this simple intersection of basic spatial and temporal constraints is the singular cause of the fact that momentum yields from gravity NECESSARILY diminish by the inverse square of RPM, thus causing net input PE to track output KE per the KE equation..

    ..what this means is that the momentum source CANNOT be passive gravitation! Passive over-balance alone is IMPOSSIBLE without an effective GPE asymmetry, which for its part is DEFINITELY IMPOSSIBLE!


    It means that the momentum gains came not only from gravity, but were augmented - and increasingly so with RPM - by a series of internal reactionless accelerations. These culminated in the impacts heard from the descending side of the wheels.

    This isn't speculative, just the bare facts that must apply here, from a physical / mathematical point of view.

Every cycle dissipates 75% of the input PE in those subsequent impacts, yet it's the same amount every cycle, too, and the 25% that DOES get spent on acceleration is ALSO constant, regardless of RPM.. and thus a linear PE evolution, for a KE output that squares with RPM..

      This 25% p/c accumulator corresponds to a 3:1 ratio between the two inertias in the reactionless accelerate-and-brake cycle. That most likely translates to a basic system containing four equal masses / inertias, which are somehow unilaterally-accelerated one at a time, before impacting and sharing back their momentum gains with the other three. This dissipates 75% of the KE, the remaining 25% causing a momentum rise the KE value of which keeps increasing with RPM.


      This is the only physically-plausible solution.

      It definitely alters Earth's resting state of motion.

      Consider batting a ball connected by elastic cord, whilst ice-skating - if you could bat reactionlessly, you'd still be propelled forwards by the deceleration phase, so you'd accelerate a little each cycle. The work you're doing is constant per cycle, as is the per-cycle acceleration.. yet the KE value of those constant equal accelerations is squaring with rising speed.. Yippee free energy... but what happens when you wanna actually cash it in? To do so, you have to stop.. by braking AGAINST something.

      Now just loop that scenario for the angular equiv. - Bessler was DEFINITELY applying momentum from gravity * time, to the planet. He almost-definitely caused the 1717 Christmas storm.

      Covid-19 kills fast - you go to bed feeling lousy then die in your sleep - but at least it leaves a few doors open downstream eh.. If ever there were a time for openness..?

      If i end up unable to work for a fortnight you know i'll be making another stab at meeting those simple mech. conditions..

    3. “Mechanically, gravity's just a uniform acceleration, and, being constant, it's the same up as down, hence a closed-loop trajectory sees a mass accelerated and decelerated in equal proportion, for no net gain in momentum.”

      True. But the, unknown, mechanism in the wheel act as a rectifier. Just as an escapement in a pendulum clock. It changes the “sign” of the force at the right moment. That’s where the gain in force is coming from and can mathematically explain the surplus of energy that causes the wheel to turn.

      Delete
    4. Marinus, It's true, gravity is the same on both sides of the wheel. But, the wheel ISN'T the same on both sides. Think of it this way. On the down side the weights stick out farther. That gives them more mechanical advantage than what they have coming up on up side. The theory of it at least, is ghastly simple.
      However, I concede trying to find a way to do that is a real bitch!

      Delete
    5. No I don’t think it’s the leverage. The secret lies in the forces acting on the masses. On the up side of the wheel the masses are in freefall. There are no forces acting on them. The force of gravity is cancelled out because the masses are swung upwards from underneath the axis, due to a slight OOB that will become worse and worse as the wheel accelerates.

      Well, at least, that’s what I think.

  33. Can we make a pledge to create a successful BW By the end of this year?...

    We have gone through too much doses of comments from all angles...

    Yet, it appears we have not come to any solid understanding... most of the time we act like novices...

    We haven't even finalized the number of weights...it ranges from three, five, eight and so on...

    As per bessler's clues it could be eight... but why not we begin with four?...

    Geometrically even number is symmetrical considering the clues...

    It is not necessary that an odd number such as five is required...I think the fifth is being taken into consideration for imbalancing the wheel... the imbalancing takes place automatically during fast rotation... there is lot of swinging happening... things are really fast inside during rotation...

    All the lever-weight units have to be equal in size and weight...

    The wheel's outer frame has to be sturdy enough to withstand constant bombardment...

    Let us make energy while the gravity exists...

    ReplyDelete
  34. Just like a jig-saw puzzle it falls into place... one fine day...

    That's right... when one gets right picture of the internal mechanism of BW...

    This is so because of its simplicity...

    Even before starting the build you will be extremely sure that it is the one...

    But then, why is it so elusive?...

    Because, no one is on the right track...

    That's why it is always wise to compare the concept first with the clues...

    Another wise thing is always start from the scratch... not with the clues in mind or others concept initially...

    Originality, counts... everyone has is own opinion and all the ones are not necessarily correct...

    Common sense can easily find out who's right...

    Sometimes, it is found the moment someone makes a suggestion it is instantly cheered and encouraged...

    And sadly, very valuable hints go unsung...

  35. Why does it have to be a Bessler wheel? Why can’t it be a (Suresh wheel), or a (Marinus wheel), or how about a Perpetualman wheel? Actually, I like the sound of that last one.

    But seriously though, I know I will never be able to figure out how Bessler made his wheel. But I’m confident that I can design a wheel that will be my own creation. It may not look like Besslers will but it will be gravity powered. Isn’t that what we’re trying to achieve, a gravity power wheel?

    Does it really have to be designed after Besslers clues? And please don’t jump to conclusions and think that I’m putting down Bessler or anyone else. I was just wondering why can’t we all just work on our own gravity powered devices.

    I’m only asking this question because I have a unique design in mind and I truly believe that it will achieve the desired results once it’s built. But of course, I’m still waiting on my parts to get here.

    1. "Why does it have to be a Bessler wheel?"

      I never believed that Bessler's design was the only way to build an OOB wheel. There could be many ways. All you have to do is figure out a way to keep the COG of the weights always on one side of the axle as the wheel turns. The problem is that as the wheel starts to turn, the COG immediately begins to drop and your design, whatever it is, must immediately compensate for that and keep raising the COG up and do it at the same speed that the turning wheel tries to drop it so the COG stays in one place relative to the floor of the room with your wheel in it.

      That gets you into designs that involve some sort of mechanical connections between the weights that controls their shiftings around inside of the turning wheel. Those shiftings have to somehow be gravity activated and automatic and also happen faster and faster as the wheel picks up speed. You are going to need some sort of combination of levers, rods, springs, cords, and so on to do it. Will it be simple? Maybe. Can it be complicated? Why not? All that really matters is that it works! If it does and you could go back in time and show it to Bessler, he might slap his head and say in German "Why didn't I think of that?"

      You might have an idea right now that you are very convinced will work but it could only be an idea that dozens tried in the last or the 19th century and realized was useless but they didn't bother to record it anywhere and no one knows about their many failures with it and never will. This applies to any hot new design you see being discussed on the web. All we really know for sure at this point in time is that no one has a working real wheel that they can show all of the inner parts of and can put on a clear glass table and let others walk around it and see everything inside of it working together as the wheel spins away. That has been the situation from the moment Bessler destroyed his last wheel to the present. We can only hope it changes soon.

  37. There is only one way of achieving a successful gravity wheel... the bessler's way... I learnt this the hard way... whatever gravity based wheel you build finally it will end up as the BW...

    Please note that we are reinventing a superior wheel... the actual wheel invented/discovered in ancient time revelutionized the world...

    We are not sure how the reinvented wheel would fare...

    I can think of New toys based on bessler Wheel appearing in the market...new devices pertaining to agriculture sector...new power generation systems... show pieces on the domestic front...and so on... the list is long...

    So the ultimate credit should go to the most misunderstand man, the odd man, the peculiar man, the paranoid man... Bessler...

    He should have the last laugh...

  38. We cannot ultimately conclude that gravity only can run a bessler wheel... because we don't fully know how gravity is used by bessler Wheel... Come to think of it, we don't even understand gravity completely...

    Logically we know that BW is a device that defies gravity...

    On one side of the wheel gravity is helpful but it is not so on the other side...

    Infact, it is simply trying to stop the wheel from rotating on the ascending side...

    In other words, it is not helpful completely...

    Magnetic properties can be beneficial...it must be possible to run a bessler wheel or improve its performance by using external magnets below the descending side...

    Then you may even call them as a high breed BW...

    Magnets can come in handy in a place where the gravity is scarce or completely absent...

    Even great ones like Newton sir or Einstein failed to fully define gravity...

    Wind involves rapid movement of air molecules...and so is water... but it is not so in gravity's case...

    You need to device a mechanism whose parts behave like air or water molecules in motion...

    Then you can see how bessler wheel benefits from gravity...

    We really lack the bessler brain...we fail to notice that others failed...in other words...we are not different from others...


    This is the main reason why 300 years have passed and it is still eluding us...

  39. Gravity-only wheel is just impossible. Thousands have failed, John will fail, you wil fail if you pursue the same path.
    Bessler himself said that he used some springs. There must be an additional component other than gravity. May be he stored energy in the springs? I do not know. I am pretty sure that machine involved more than gravity.

    This level of distrust to science is also unfounded.

  40. "Magnets can come in handy in a place where the gravity is scarce or completely absent..."

    Magnets could make a wheel that would turn in any position in the Earth's gravity or even out in space with no gravity. Ken B gives a design for a permanent magnetic motor at the end of his book that looks like it could actually work. It uses magnets whose fields have been distorted in such a way as to push against each other and always produce a torque on a rotor's axle. Like his design for Bessler's wheel, his permanent magnet motor also has a design that I haven't seen before. It would be much easier and cheaper to build than even Bessler's smallest wheel and could have more torque than the Kassel wheel but be as small as a microwave oven! It only has one moving part which is its rotor. He thinks a larger one could drive a lightweight automobile up to highway speeds and the driver would never need to stop at a gas station again except for occasional repairs.

If he has he will become almost as famous as Bessler and if he has not then I don't think he'll really be considered to be a crackpot. He'll just be another guy who made a bit of a stir and maybe got some people interested in Bessler and his wheels who never heard of him before. I wish him luck as I do any one chasing the secrets of pm and Bessler's wheels. The more ideas we have the better and the more sims of them made the better. Sooner or later someone's got to find Bessler's "simple" design unless it was all just a big scam and we've all been chasing after a fairy tale for the last 300 years. I can't even believe that could be possible although some of my friends are constantly telling me that is exactly what has been happening.

He's found dozens of previously unknown clues in the two portraits and they all point to that particular wheel he shows in his youtube video. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens when others simulate the design. If they also work you'll see a lot of builders tripping over themselves to be the first to make a working prototype.

      You will quickly realize on this blog and every free energy type site that everyone has their own pet bias and if anything new comes along from someone else that does not agree with it completely it is immediately ignored or ridiculed. Also, everyone thinks only he has the answer and everyone else must just be a delusional nut case. Most likely, all are delusional as everyone else has been since Bessler and will continue to be. They just don't know it yet and most have various ways of making sure they will never have to face that fact. They do that by finding excuses to never actually finish a wheel or if it's finished to never fully test it. Others have all sorts of calculations and drawings that they know show a wheel that will surely work if it is built but never get around to building it themselves or having someone else build it for them. Others, the "armchair philosophers", just talk endlessly about what the solution must be and don't bother doing any calculations, making drawings, or building anything. For every pm chaser who actually builds something there are dozens who never will and probably can't because they lack the ambition, skills, or minimum equipment and materials to do so.

This whole condition suddenly presented itself without warning two years ago. It is believed to have been caused by a extremely unpleasant experience she suffered at Uni. She was unable to feed herself, control her bladder, walk or even sit up, and lost the use of her left arm, which the developed dystonia. She is making very slow improvements and she is so tough, but she needs to her family as often as possible. So my wheel is taking shape but very slowly, for which I apologise.

    8. Maybe the real reason for JC's "inordinate delay" is because he has become a victim of the Mr. Lepard Spots 2029 Prophecy! It is indeed a very powerful prophecy and more like a curse meant to turn all of his efforts into failures. To overcome that so he can start getting some successful results with his wheel, I recommend that he consider carrying a lucky talisman of some sort with him. I know several people who experienced dramatic turnarounds in their situations when they gave it a try.

      Since Bessler attributed his luck in finding a pm wheel that worked to God and the number 7 is lucky and associated with God's place in the heavens, John might try wearing a talisman like this one to help him. It should be worn continuously day and night for maximum effect. If he cannot wear it on a neck chain or bracelet, then it should be attached to some item he always has with him like a key ring or pants belt with a clip.

      Maybe John should wear three of them to triple his luck? Can't hurt. Seems everything else he tries with his wheel isn't working. Lol!

      In the first DT portrait, Bessler's thumb and index finger of his left hand form a number 7. Maybe that's a sign to future people trying to duplicate his wheels to wear that number as a talisman or lucky charm? I'm going to have to see about getting some of them! Maybe if I make and wear a necklace with seven of them that will finally get my wheel running!

      I just noticed that if you make a 1 x 2 rectangle and then draw the number 7 along its shorter top side and through its diagonal, then the angle inside of the 7 is about 63 degrees. Could this be an important angle for the levers inside of Bessler's wheels? Why is Bessler making that particular number with his fingers???

    Thanks for the link to the YouTube video concerning the Roberval balance. That was really interesting and for a moment there I thought it would really work. And I know many people throughout the years have been trying to build a device based on the Roberval balance and still haven’t figured it out yet. But, I’m not going down the same path that JC is on, I’m taking a different path and adding a new twist to the Roberval
    balance gravity wheel machine that I’m going w build.

    So with that said, does anyone know what would be a good cement to use that doesn’t have gravel in it? I’m going to make weights for my gravity wheel but I was wondering if there’s a powdered type cement without a lot of gravel in it that you can just mix with water.

      They have a fine grain cement with powdered vinyl added to it that is waterproof when set and used to repair cracks and leaks in in-ground swimming pools. It might be just what you are looking for. It hardens with a smooth finish and won't crumble when rubbed. It's more expensive than regular Portland cement, but worth the price. You might try calling a place that supplies materials for swimming pools and see if they have it.

    But the revolving planets do prove that gravity is the enabler...

    If you really ask me, I can say that solar system was not designed by bessler and that is why they are slowing down...

    Because, the mechanism that is in the solar system lacks one more critical component that bessler employed in his wheels...

    There's a way to trick gravity...

    And, this is known only to bessler...

    It is double benefit principle in bessler's system...

    And, this is what is not being understood by most here...

    It makes it possible to both assist in falling and lifting of the weights...

    It is not found in their vocabulary or boos authored by them...

    Bessler story has survived even to this day...

    Those who don't fully investigate this can say anything...

It was a simple mechanical manipulation to maintain constant imbalance in his single direction wheels. No trick involved other than creative tinkering and thinking. Anyone can also find the solution if they apply themselves for long enough. Oh, it might help to know some basic mechanics and some working familiarity with physics but not a prerequisite. It was that simple.

      I agree that, if anything, Cf and Cp were factors that limited how much torque B's wheels could produce as they accelerated. But, oddly, these forces could also have a valuable purpose. By limiting the maximum speed of a free running wheel, they kept it from turning so fast that it tore itself apart. They did that by interfering with the swingings of the levers inside of the drum which then made the CoG of the weights move closer to the axle center to reduce the torque on the axle. I'm also a believer in the KB wheel and think it shows how that would happen as the Cf delayed the inward swinging of the ascending side levers between the 6 and 9 oclock parts of the drum. As soon as that delay starts, the CoG of all of the weights will begin to move toward a location under the center of the axle.

      As for SK he obviously has some need to come here to continually philosophize and won't be showing us anything because he probably has nothing to show. Maybe he thinks he serves the purpose of encouraging others to look for solutions and in the direction he thinks they should look? Actually most people posting here are also doing that but in different ways. I just wish he'd start single spacing the sentences in his comments so we don't have to scroll down a page to read them all.

  53. Yes, I agree with you fine?

    Whatever you say is right and I am wrong...is it okay now?...

    Are you happy with it now?...

    Recently, I revealed about children playing...

    And, there was no adverse comment about it...or even a slight lauding..

    I would like to know why there was no reaction from any quarters...

    Was I wrong there?...

    If I wanted to cheat anyone I wouldn't reveal my identity...

    You guys don't know whom or what to rule out...

    A simple thing such as that tinkering which amazed Karl is not known to you guys...

    And when I want to convince something I am trolled...

    This is what happened with bessler and that is why he took it to the grave...

    Sometimes I feel there's no point in reasoning with you...

    It took me so many years to learn and you want I should reveal it immediately...

    The problem with social media is that it can make by even an innocent man to appear as a fraud...

    Whatever you say is true and the other is wrong...

    Another thing is that we are not face to face and it is just impossible to convince anyone this way...

    They don't know with whom they are talking...

    There is something known as she, experience, common sense, etc which differs from person to person...

    All this is not considered...

    How do you know for sure I am barking up the wrong tree?...

    What do I gain by boring everyone?...

    The simple tinkering and that's what I am also talking about is...

    I want to convey something but it is being wrongly understood...

    Lot of understanding and patience is reqd...

    I appreciate Yellow sir...he has posed this challenge now...

    We should brace up and prove him wrong...

    And that bessler was right...

    Go ahead if you want to believe believe and if you don't believe that is okay with me...

    Even Bessler, Jesus or Buddha couldn't convince everyone...

    After all I am an ordinary guy...

      Yes. That would be much better than jerking everyone here around with vague hints over the next ten blogs and even then not finally revealing anything. If you know the real meaning of the "children play..." clue, then just say it and see what others think of it. Some may agree and some may disagree, but at least you will get some feedback. Maybe after you read what others have to say, you will change your mind about what you think it means. It could happen. Are you afraid of that possibility? Many here think you are.

  56. I am done with Algodoo. Its to coarse, I can't build my design with it. Here you can find my final simulation.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBW9wJkOtrM

    Which made my think. If Bessler's wheel rotated unloaded at 40 rpm. Then where would the radius be where the masses always would fly out. At witch radius would there be equilibrium? And where would that be under load at 20 rpm?

    I's about forces so;

    Fg = m x g
    Fc = m x w^2 x r

    m x g = m x w^2 x r
    g = w^2 x r
    r = g / w^2

    At 20 rpm the radial velocity => 2pi x rpm / 60 => 40pi / 60 = 2pi/3 = 2.09 rad/s

    r = g / w^2 => 9.81 / 2.09^2 = 2.24 meter. Within this radius Gravity wins.

    At 40 rpm the radial velocity => 2pi x rpm / 60 => 80pi / 60 = 4pi/3 = 4.19 rad/s

    r = g / w^2 => 9.81 / 4.19^2 = 0.56 meter. Within this radius Gravity wins.

    Outside this radius the masses will fly out.

    Whatever the secret, it must be close to the axis. In a free running wheel its the only place where gravity still has effect.

    4. @ Suresh. The correct translation is children playing among the pillar WITH HEAVY clubs (or marbles). The insertion into the sentence of LOUD is an incorrect inclusion by the original translator. This was discussed a couple of blogs ago.

      Delete
    5. But whatever the translation quality is the pillars are the levers and children are the weights...

      That's enough for us to get a start...
      You can't expect more details from clues...
      Bessler used levers to which weights were attached and they swing and produce those banging sounds...
      This much is clear without any doubt...
      But this alone won't suffice...
      Yellow Sir is right...
      Just using levers, weights and gears isn't enough...
      You need your ingenuity to tackle the rest...

  57. Hello Fletcher; Regarding your note on this blog,13 Mar. 20:11, Thanks for your comments! To see the two drawings that were posted on John's blog, visit my website: besslerwheelquest.com Would very much appreciate your comments on this design!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Hello Richard .. firstly I appreciate that you are obviously invested in this idea. You've put much thought into it and by your website notes have experimented with it also. You will have a better understanding than most of how it will perform. That said you have asked specifically for my opinion, rather than starting a Topic at BW.com where others also with similar experience with such designs could comment. On that note I have built many sims of both MT's 24 and 25 in earlier times, which are fundamentally the same mechanical principles. To that end I also tweaked each design as best I could to perhaps enhance its performance etc etc. This made no improvement on their overall operation. I won't sugar coat it but the design as it stands is a dead end and another example of a 'false' PM wheel mechanical principle i.e. no continuous asymmetric torque is produced to cause it to accelerate and maintain an RPM. However not is all lost imo. N.B. apparently there were lessons to be learned from them. Let's take a look at what B. wrote to accompany those woodcuts (wiki page translator Mike Senior).

    No. 24 This invention ought not to be scorned. It consists of separate levers with weights. Between the weights are small iron poles with hinges. The poles fall inward when the levers close.

    There is something one must learn first before one can grasp and correctly understand the good quality of the invention.

    No. 25 This is the previous model except for some differences. It is sketched with longer poles. There is something misleading about the diagram, for the poles, when coming out, must not project so far out but must bend somewhat further inwardly.

    There is more to it than one supposes; one must study the diagram extensively.

    Here's what JC's earlier than wiki original MT hardcover said (translator also Mike Senior).

    MT 24. There is, however, more to explain about it before you will grasp and correctly understand its good qualities.

    MT 25. There is more to this than one might think. Mark my words.

    Obviously, depending on which translation you place more stock in, there is a lesson to be learned that confers good qualities that you must first grasp.

    In my last Topic at BW.com I discuss what those lessons are imo. In short nothing to do with the imbalance factor of these designs. But like the MT9 groupings with the lever-weight Jack Effect then both MT 24 and 25 can operate in a somewhat similar manner to the series hung together lever-weights i.e. on the down-going side the pole (hinge) is displaced outwards, just as the lever-weights of the MT9 groupings are also displaced outwards. That is the similarity and the only thing of importance to be gained from MT's 24 and 25 imo. And therefore that is the only lesson (imo) to be learned and grasp to understand their good qualities. IOW's a finger pointing back to the MT9 groupings and their actions. You can read my thread comments in that Topic to find out where I believed it lead, in essence, if interested.

    1. Ken B made a very short sim of MT 24 back in July of 2016 that showed it was possible to get the weights and levers to shift as Bessler said they should. But, that action did not result in the CoG of the weights being keep on the descending side of the axle. All the wheel does is rock from one side to the other. Here's a link to his 10 second youtube video of his sim:

    2. Yes, my sims did the same. With or without spring assist etc. They are easy mechanical principles to build in WM2D. And for Richard's benefit you can change the mass of objects at will to explore the mass ratio's between the Primary and Shifter weights etc as you call them in your website.

      BTW for those perhaps still wondering why I said MT25 was a finger pointing backwards to the MT9 groupings I'll elaborate.

      Firstly, the only action of consequence for both MT's 24 and 25 is the hinge/pole/primary being flung outwards on the supposed down-going side as said earlier.

      Secondly MT24 has 8 mech sets while MT25 has 4 (retrograde simplicity). Yet MT25 (the basic model) comes after MT24 (the more complex). Hence look backwards !! And look for some similar action !!

      Delete
    3. Agreed. Richard's addition of springs to MT 24 will not make any difference. Also, he has the rope wrapped around the axle or a pulley riding on the axle and Bessler said in a working pm wheel nothing is stationary on the axle. To me this means all of the works of his wheels were out near the rims of their drums. Many have been sent looking in the wrong direction after reading a bad translation about the axle being full of holes and assume that ropes went through the holes in it from one side of the drum to the other. I think it should have been translated as the DRUM is full of holes referring to the holes in the cloth sides that were used for inspection and covered over with larger cloth patches to hide the inner mechs from prying eyes.

    1. Once you disclose it publicly without a patent then anyone can copy and use it and not have to pay you a penny or even credit you with the idea for the invention. They could if they wanted to but are not legally obligated to do so. Also you cannot sue them. But why would you want to patent Johann Bessler's wheel? It was his invention, not yours!

    3. @anon10:05

      If that wheel in his youtube video is actually Bessler's wheel because he can show it is based on Bessler's DT portrait clues, then it has been disclosed, courtesy of Ken, and is now in the public domain and cannot be patented. If genuine then the design is also three centuries old which means any previous patents if they did existed have expired by now even if they do show up somewhere today and Ken would not have been able to patent it. However, improvements to it could be patented. In fact if another OOB wheel comes along that even resembles the basics of that video wheel a little then it might be not be patentable. You got to have something different enough that works if you are going to get the patent examiners to agree that it's a new and useful invention worthy of a patent. It can take years of fine tuning the claims in your patent application before it is accepted and your patent granted and even then about half are never granted. It's a long and expensive process in most cases and no where as easy as one might think.

    4. Right. Marinus said something like that at 08:13. But if he uploads a working sim which is completely different then Ken's, then he has from that date a whole year to patent it. I doubt if he will, given his statement.

  63. WOW Fletcher, great and helpful comments! Thanks. I don't see that (continuous)torque is necessary. My build gives smooth torque impulses each half cycle of the crossbar. It should be possible to transfer this to the rimstops using flat spring "fingers" to give smooth acceleration. 2) In my drawings M.T. 25 continues your"retrograde simplicity " just one more step and uses just 2 mechanical sets on the crossbar, fulfilling the simplicity requirements for mechanism design.

I don't think it has anything to do with Bessler's wheels but it is interesting. One poster under the video said he tried it and it didn't work, but maybe his model was a mess for some reason.

    Do you really think Bessler used a couple of pendulums, levers, gears and got the result?"

    When the various BWs were being exibitted... Some people wondered like Yellow as above...
    But many more did believe bessler indeed was able to make a wheel spin using weights and levers...
    And even to this day skeptics exist...

    What we need to take into consideration is that the matter was inspected by eminent persons then and was finally cleared of such doubts...
    And, this fact should not be overlooked by us...

    If an additional force was really used then it couldn't have gone undetected, by any means...
    Even if some pre-stored energy was employed it couldn't have passed the two months test...

    Our general understanding of Bessler suggests that he was an honest man with a divine mission...
    He was God trusting...he even claimed to have obtained the idea through some divine intervention...
    This also goes to show that he was not cheating...

    The maid's testimony angle also does not speak of involvement of any additional force...
    If we take Karl's observation into consideration and his trust on bessler you won't notice anything that would indicate use of some additional force...
    Also, the available clues and bessler literature too don't indicate use of extra power source...

    Most of the post bessler researches till date largely focusses on how bessler managed to tap gravity by mechanical means against the accepted fact gravity force being conserved...
    And not exactly on trying to find out what other additional force was involved...
    We don't find any code or a clue suggesting use of an extra force...
    JC sir too has worked very hard and finally concludes it to be only gravity... though he hasn't succeeded in finding out that mechanical arrangement...
    All throughout his life bessler maintained that the weights were the important components in his wheels and this would only mean it's dependençe on gravity...
    If an additional force was used then there would have been telltale signs like sounds of gas release, exhaust gas, smells or even strange noises...

    Bessler tried to hide the wheel's interior view from public glare and could it have been for protecting the secret mechanism or some trickery?...
    Obviously, it was the unique mechanical arrangement...

    Coming to the ground realities... gravity is a natural force still not fully ascertained...
    Even experts are not in a position to say totally howg works... the very presence of matter or mass creates the gravity force but not fully explained... matter squeezes spacetime...
    But whatever it is we just can't undermine gravity...it creates tides...it keeps heavenly bodies in motion...and in cluster form...it can bring down a building, an aircraft in flight and even a spacecraft in orbit...

    The simple question is, can it not spin a simple wheel erected on a stand just a little above the ground?...

    It is just a matter of imbalancing a wheel...by ensuring that one side is always heavier than the other...which can be simply achieved by clever mechanical means...
    If this is so then why so many years have passed without someone coming up with a solution...

    It is because that solution or the mechanical arrangement is unique... only one of its kind... generally not used anywhere in the existing machinery... there's is just no reference point...
    It involves certain custom engineering of the wheel's internal components... nothing very sophisticated...
    And yes, bessler managed to make a stationary wheel to rotate non stop using just basic physics principles of lever advantages and laws of motion...

  67. I have been thinking. I do that a lot lately since corona, nothing much else to do. About Algodoo. It is a great learning tool for students trying to understand physics. If you get your hands around its interface you can build really nice simulations that mimic the real world. Of course it would be just rudimentary and nothing compared to wm2d.

    But, if Bessler’s secret is revealed we will know how to utilize the force of gravity to produce energy, just by using a simple mechanical principle. After the revelation it probably will be taught to students in school. Who can then learn and demonstrate this principle with, Algodoo. And why not? After all it is suposed to be simple.

    So, I am not done with Algodoo. I have found that the default grid size of 4 can be changed to up to a hundred. I have set it to twenty and that works fine (half cm). No, I cannot build the design I have on paper because it’s only 60cm diam. I have to think big and scale it up. So my Algodoo wheel will be 6 meter.

    Another video of my Algodoo work. It has five simple mechanisms and seem to match the anvil clue and a lot of other clues from the portrait that might not be immediately obvious to those who have not studied the portraits.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHwTgcScrEM

    I highly recommend everyone to give Algodoo a try. It's free!

    So for my next exercise I will choose a simple MT drawing. This is going be great fun. More than I thought at first sight.
