This task we have each set ourselves, to discover the secret of Johann Bessler’s wheel, absorbs many of our waking moments, involves us, divides us, challenges us and yet we love it, are obsessed by it and cannot resist the draw of being the one who finally succeeds in unravelling the tangled web of clues, codes, hints and numerous drawings all designed to fixate our minds on the final answer.
This, I know, applies to me and many others and yet this whole dense perplexity drives us forwards in spite of the scientific orthodoxy that what we seek to achieve is impossible according to the laws of science.
The reason we continue to research and develop ideas in our unending pursuit of the truth about Bessler’s wheel is because, despite the wall of scepticism that greets our every suggestion, we firmly believe that there is the strongest documentary evidence that Bessler’s so-called Perpetual Motion machine actually existed, was thoroughly examined and tested over many years, by hundreds of people, most of whom were highly sceptical about the inventor’s claims. Not a single person found evidence of fraud.
Not only that, but Bessler himself gained mostly notoriety and yet despite being hounded throughout his life, never gave up on his firm stance that he had only told the truth that his wheel was genuine. His pain and anguish caused by his detractors can be easily detected throughout his self-published books. His constant refrain is that he is attacked for his determination to convince people that his claims were valid. He identifies three ‘enemies’, and they in their turn continue to make demands which he refuses to accede to for fear of revealing the secret of his machine.
So here we are, living on a planet which it is believed is being slowly cooked by the carbon dioxide emissions generated by our own actions in burning fossil fuels through various means over the last two hundred years or so. Numerous ingenious solutions are offered but all are expensive to produce as well as maintain. All have serious disadvantages of one kind or another, yet throughout these pages we constantly press for the minimal acceptance that we might have a potential solution, but there is no one of a senior respected position within the scientific community who dare take that, admittedly dangerous step, in favour of a complete and thorough examination of our case.
The results could have a dramatic effect on the problem of global warming. It is roughly estimated that even if we stopped all carbon emissions today, it would take a about 1000 years for temperatures to plateau but nevertheless the steady decrease of emission that would stop even a tenth of one degree would slow or reduce the effects we fear, such as sea levels rising, strange weather anomalies and population migration.
