Someone emailed me to ask me why I didn’t visit the Besslerwheel forum any more and why was my blog silent about my work?
Well I visit the forum everyday but find that I have little reason to comment. I have rarely come across anything that hasn’t been commented on countless times in the past and the authors seem to be very few in number these days, although they sometimes have excellent discussions with interesting topics.
There is a lot of commentary on the English translations done for me by my friend Mike Senior, not so much finding fault as much as trying to squeeze extra information from the translations using modern translators. I have no objection to this, it might be helpful, but I recall Mike’s advice to me when he agreed to translate everything.
The text was written 300 years ago in a foreign language by a man who was born into a peasant family. No criticism intended, but his culture would have used colloquialisms, slang, numerous idioms and of course common terminology - unknown to us. Nuances in meaning vary in all languages including German and English. So using Mike’s translations provided in a form which he believed gives the most likely meaning is probably as near as we can get to Bessler’s thoughts. Not that Mike didn’t make mistakes , I’m sure he did, but in my opinion it’s still the best we have. Modern translators use modern German as their baseline - I doubt they could use the German of Bessler’s day to get modern English - even the English of the 1700s differs markably to today’s language.
Visit this website for numerous examples of how English word meanings have changed or even reversed their meanings. It’s called semantics and it is common to all languages.
The other question about this blog - why is it so silent? Good question, I hoped too have some real answers relatively quickly.
Time passes at an ever increasing speed and my intention was to have one final go at building a working model of Bessler’s wheel, before my 79th birthday, but it seems to have been blown off course by the winds of time. I thought that with all the rain we’ve been having, I could work on Bessler's wheel in my garage/workshop secure in the knowledge that working outside on my wife’s exterior plans was out of the question. Oops, I had forgotten a list of interior jobs I had promised to deal with asap. Anyway to quote from “Gone with the Wind”, the last line of the book reads, “tomorrow is another day”. So tomorrow has come…..a bit. Now I’m able to spend, at least some time on the wheel, I believe there are no more excuses left for me but to finish this job once and for all!
So from now on I’ll be working on it, but continuing to fulfil my other commitments, by working round them, hopefully. I’ll have a better idea of a finishing date after a few days.
Thomas Edison said, “I have not failed, I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” I guess the same applies to me/us, but my confidence in this design is high and even if it doesn’t work, I will share it here in case anyone’s interested. I do think it is the same as Bessler’s but rather than try to explain it I’ll simply post photos and videos of it once it’s ready. This is not a new design for me because I’ve been studying it for almost a year, but there have been minor alterations and adjustments to make, not to mention the old pieces of previous mechanisms I’m using up which require extensive alterations.
But perhaps these are just excuses for my procrastination? Maybe I can always find other things to do, which I convince myself, are more important, more urgent ….and easier! Or as someone suggested, the reason for the delay is apparently, that I fear the outcome which will end in another failure. That at least is not true, I always anticipate success even though, like Thomas Edison, I’ve found 10,00O, ways of making a stationary wheel. I’m just getting older and it takes more of an effort to keep working, but I’m definitely going to finish this one as soon as I can.

Part 1 of 2:
ReplyDeleteWithout further delay, here is the new clue I promised to reveal a few days ago which, as I previously mentioned, can be found in the DT drawing showing the two full face views of the Kassel wheel's drum.
If you look at the two titles above the wheels, one in German and the other in Latin, you will notice that there is a PERIOD punctuation mark at the end of each title! In almost all titles I have ever seen, no period is used because it is unnecessary. Periods mean that a full stop must be made at the end of one sentence to then be followed by the beginning of the next sentence. But, in a one sentence title there is no next sentence and a period is not used (however, other punctuations like an exclamation point or question mark may be used).
I kept asking myself why Bessler put those two periods at the ends of the titles when I remembered that he often used things like periods and decimal points as geometrical points at the beginning or end of a line segment or actually on the line segment itself. It turns out that is exactly how he used them in that DT drawing!
For the left side drawing of the drum, the next point in a line segment extended down from the period at the end of its German title is the center of the wheel's axle and if you continue to further extend that line segment (which I colored red) downward, it will end at the center of that rope pulley bolted to the floor below the drum (note that my illustration showing this is located in Part 2 of this comment).
Next draw another line segment from the place where the window pane frame pieces cross over to and through the center of the left wheel's axle and then out until it reaches the missing portion of the drum's outer circumference which I've added to the empty space available for it in the right side drum's drawing. That line segment is exactly oriented at a right angle to the first line segment from the title's end period to the center of the floor pulley.
You can then add two additional red line segments, one starting from the lower left corner of the left side drawing and the other from the top of that left side drawing where the shading on the back wall turns from dark to light, that each pass through the center of the left side wheel's axle. Now, if you locate the eight points on the outer circumference of the left side wheel's drum where these four red lines intersect and then connect adjacent ones with shorter line segments (which I colored yellow), you will see that they form a PERFECT OCTAGON!

(Continued and concluded in Part 2 of 2)
Part 2 of 2:
DeleteA similar treatment is used on the right side drawing of the Kassel wheel's drum.
You get your first line segment by extending a red line down from the period at the end of the Latin title through the center of the wheel's axle and onto the other side of the drum's outer circumference. The line segment at a right angle to that one is gotten by extending a red line segment from the bottom of that out of place Roman numeral "i", which Bessler uses for the Arabic numeral 1, on the left side wheel's drum through the center of the axle of the right side wheel's drum and outward to that drum's outer circumference.
The remaining two red line segments are gotten by extending line segments from the bottom point of the triangular lock at the bottom of the left side wheel's drum and the center of the left top metal ball weight on the right side wheel's compound pendulum through the center of the right side wheel's axle and onward to the opposite sides of the drum's outer circumference. Connecting the adjacent intersection points of these four red line segments with the outer circumference of the right side wheel's drum with short yellow line segments then forms ANOTHER perfect octagon!
Here's a link to the illustration I made that shows the two perfect octagons that are formed inside the two drums shown in that DT drawing by the interconnecting yellow line segments:
https://postimg.cc/T5Xm4FZW
Notice that all of the corresponding yellow sides of the two octagons are nearly perfectly parallel with each other. This repetition of the octagon shape was Bessler's way of telling us that this is a genuine clue of his. It must have taken much effort on his part to place the elements into this DT drawing that would then allow the two octagons to be found and oriented as they are.
Meaning? At a minimum, I consider it proof that his Kassel wheel, and most likely all of his other wheels, used eight parallel sets of radial supports inside of their drums which extended from their axles all the way out to their outer circumferences. Assuming that he would have wanted to place the "perpetual motion structures" that powered his wheels into the strongest and most rigid portions of their drums, the implication of this clue is that all of his one direction wheels used eight such mechanisms and his two direction wheels would have used sixteen such mechanisms if their larger diameter and thicker drums contained two side by side and "back to back" one direction wheels as many believe.
If we could make an x-ray photograph of one of Bessler's wheels, we would most likely see that their weight carrying levers' steel pivots formed the corners of a perfect octagon inside of the drum.
Perhaps there are other interpretations of these two octagons I found in this DT drawing, but at least this hard to find clue can now give students of Bessler's wheels something new to consider.

Ingenious SoS, but I have completely different interpretations. Good work though .
DeleteJC
The framework does not mean jack s.
Delete@Paul
DeleteYou are right about the force those weights would exert on the drum's frame as they went under the drum. At a drum speed of 26 rpm's the centrifugal force must be added to the mass of a weight at that time. I used an online calculator that says the centrifugal force acting on a 50 pound weight moving at that speed is about 69 pounds. Adding that force to 50 pounds gives a momentary total downward force of 119 pounds. That's a lot of force to apply to a wooden lever and any steel shaft type pivot it would be hanging off of. They'd have to be fairly strong to withstand it. Maybe he used metal levers?
Thanks Mikey Ned
Delete@SoS
DeleteI hate to have to dampen your enthusiasm, but that flourish is just a separator that Bessler inserted between two drawing titles that were in different languages. It only appears there because that was the only place in DT where it was needed. It's just some flowery little squiggle design he made up. There's no deeper meaning to it and I wouldn't waste my time on it if I was you.
Sorry, SoS, but I agree with anon 07:52 that it's just some sort of floral squiggle Bessler used as a separator for the same title in two different languages. I would have just used a thick black vertical line, though. But, if you can find a different interpretation of it, I'd like to read it. Here's a close up image of the squiggle for everyone to study:

Part 1 of 2
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone has their seatbelts tightened!
The casual dismissal of that DT drawing flourish as just a "squiggle" Bessler used as a separator of the same title in two different languages certainly sounds plausible and I'm sure that almost all who noticed it in the past came to the same conclusion. I, however, recognize it as a nice example of what I call a "Bessler Mind Trick". I define them as some feature in a Bessler drawing which seems, on the surface, to be one thing, but, in reality, has a hidden meaning that only someone who is really into studying Bessler's secret pm wheel design would have any hope of truly understanding.
It may look like a separator for the German and Latin drawing titles, but there really is no need for such a separator because the fold between the two halves of the drawing could adequately serve such a purpose. For those who think it's just a meaningless floral squiggle, then you needed to have first rotated it 90 degrees counterclockwise before jumping to your conclusion. If you had done that, then you would have seen that, rather than some flower blossoms and leaves, it's actually three EYES!
There is a single eye by itself and then a joined pair of eyes. Whenever Bessler shows any kind of eye or optical device in a drawing, it is his way of telling the astute reader to very carefully study whatever the eye was looking at or the optical device was pointing to. In this case I believe the single eye is an instruction to carefully study the first left side wheel drawing and the pair of eyes is an instruction to carefully study the second right side wheel drawing. When I obediently followed those instructions from Bessler, I found the two octagons he intended for me to find in the drawings!
The pair of eyes has a small projection in the corner of one eye that points down to what looks like another separator between the two wheel drawings. That separator consists of a thick black vertical section and three thinner white vertical sections to the left of that thick black vertical section (there's also a thin white vertical section to the right of the black vertical section, but I don't need to use it in the following analysis). Many who read DT over the centuries may even have thought those vertical sections to the left of the right side wheel drawing represented a simplified cross section view of the room's outer wall containing the window that is shown in detail to the left of the wheel in the left side drawing. For reference, here is a link to a quick ms paint illustration I made to show the details of what my analysis of that DT flourish revealed:
https://postimg.cc/6TpKHXp4
What clue was Bessler giving us by pointing the eyes down to those vertical sections? My best guess is that the thick black section, because of its color, represents the dark linen covering on one side of the Kassel wheel's drum. The three smaller vertical white sections to the immediate left of that thick vertical black section would then each symbolize one radial support piece attached to the drum's axle. I've numbered those white vertical sections 1, 2, and 3.
Sayer of Sooths
(Continued and concluded in Part 2)
Part 2 of 2
DeleteIf, being a two direction wheel, the Kassel wheel's thick drum contained two one direction wheels placed side by side and back to back, then one of those wheel's eight perpetual motion structures or weight carrying levers would have been placed between the eight number 1 and 2 parallel pairs of radial supports and the other wheel's eight would have been placed between the eight number 2 and 3 parallel pairs of radial supports.
To have the two one direction wheels as close as possible to each other inside of the drum so as to keep its outside thickness as small as possible (which Bessler managed to get down to about 18 inches), both one way wheels' eight levers would have had to share the eight number 2 radial supports which would be attached to the middle of the section of the axle hidden inside of the drum. That extra stress on them means that those eight radial supports would need to be thicker and stronger than the others that were in contact with the outside linen cloth coverings on the two full faces of the drum and that explains why that middle white vertical section in the DT drawing that I numbered 2 in my ms paint illustration is so thick compared to the other two white vertical sections that I labeled 1 and 3.
Well, I think this is enough from me for now, but before leaving, I just want to say that I sense that what I've managed to find so far in this single DT drawing is really only a small fraction of the total number of secret clues that it actually contains. It's like an iceberg where we, so far, only see the smaller part above the water's surface and the much larger part of it is still submerged and out of sight, but awaiting discovery. As my time permits, I will continue to look for more clues in it and when I find them, I'll be back to reveal them if I think they are important enough.
Farewell until then, everyone.
Sayer of Sooths
PS. You may now all unfasten your seatbelts. I, however, will continue to always carry my good luck talismans with me. I'm convinced that I would not have found those double octagons in the DT drawing without them!

Hello anon 13:22
DeleteI did save a copy of that Merseburg wheel octagon but I had a hard drive crash last year and can't find it anywhere on a backup I made of some of the past images linked to on this blog. However here is how I remember you found it:
https://i.postimg.cc/QdRHCxGs/merseburg-octagon.jpg
You used the parts where those uprights for the pendulum supports crossed the drum's rim and also you had to drop and use a vertical line down from the box of bricks out the window. When you connected the dots you got a perfect octagon.
I'm not sure if SoS was the one who found it, but I do remember he pointed out that the top parts of the pendulum supports used looked like the letter H. He said that H is the 8th letter of the alphabet and that meant Bessler's wheels used eight levers with weights inside of them. That seemed to fit in with the symbols of the swinging pendulum and the weight out the window.
I vaguely recall John getting angry that people liked the octagon better than the pentagon he claimed he found in the drum and he started to delete their comments! At the time he kept saying he welcomed other opinions here but it seemed like only if they happened to agree with his.
@anon 01:13
DeleteThis crude woodcut engraving made by Bessler to show how Borlach thought Bessler faked his pm wheels may be close to what his Draschwitz wheel actually looked like: It doesn't look like it has an octagon hidden in it anywhere.
https://www.mediastorehouse.com/p/164/orffyreus-wheel-man-4370948.jpg.webp
However, the Draschwitz wheel had three pins at one end of its short axle for continuously raising dropping three wooden stamps. Its drum was about 9 feet in diameter.
That engraving was made by Bessler and is in DT. He "copied" Borlach's engraving, with some changes to the original Borlach engraving. Borlach visited and saw the Merseburg wheel in operation and then made his engraving and comments about it.
DeleteThe Borlach drawing shows the drum shifted over toward the right end of the axle which was where the Merseburg wheel's drum was attached to the axle. Bessler's version in DT, however, places the drum in the middle of the axle which is where it was attached in the Draschwitz wheel. Bessler had to do that on purpose, but I'm wondering why.
DeleteMy mistake! The Merseburg wheel's drum was attached to the middle of the axle unlike the drum in Borlach's version of the Merseburg wheel which shifted way too far to the right. I think, however, that the Draschwitz wheel's axle was much shorter than the six foot long one used on the Merseburg wheel. Bessler's version is the more accurate one.
DeleteOr alternatively, as mentioned many years ago, the above single figure represents the one-way wheel, and the lower double figure represents the two-way wheel
ReplyDeleteI was anticipating a revelation coinciding with my own work done on these illustrations, but to be honest I was relieved to find nothing of the sort. I was relieved because I plan to release everything as soon as I’ve finished my last attempt to build a PoP model which I’m certain is similar to Bessler’s. SoS’s discoveries make fascinating reading but they are not, in my opinion anywhere close the real revelation I’m planning very soon.

John wrote "...I plan to release everything as soon as I’ve finished my last attempt to build a PoP model which I’m certain is similar to Bessler’s."
DeleteWe all heard the same thing from him during the last months in 2023 leading up to his "Big Reveal" that took place last new year's day 2024. All we got back then was a hasty and disappointing last minute release of a few poorly drawn Paint sketches that told us next to nothing. None of the promised photos or videos were ever provided. What little his sketches showed involved a lot of pulleys and scissor arms that looked unworkable.
Some here are predicting he'll be dropping all pretense of trying to actually build anything by the beginning of this summer and then resign himself to becoming just another armchair philosopher when it comes to Bessler's wheels. Whenever he finally does that, he will most likely keep going on and on about pentagons for the rest of his life while dropping occasional teasing little hints about the new clues he's finding to prove Bessler used such a design. If a working replica of a Bessler's wheel using eight levers ever does come along, he'll insist that it cannot actually be Bessler's design and will keep pushing his pentagon approach on anyone who will listen. Admitting one is wrong about something is not an easy thing to do especially after it's been stuck in one's mind for a lifetime.
Lets see , since the page is not flat but has a fold line lifting up a bit in the middle across , the two lines projecting in to the left side drawing from the right hand side drawing angle's would be completely different , destroying the notion that the geometry extends as drawn to the right !
DeleteLet me clear it up a little more , if the page is pressed down until it is flat in the middle , the left part will move left and the right part will move right , so the angle lines extending from one side to the other would be moved and not connect the parts drawn.
DeleteThanks for the comments, but time will reveal the truth and I think you will all be pleasantly surprised that I’m right and all these speculations are just fanciful illusions.
DeleteJC
Imo , I find it interesting but I don't really pay much attention to these type of finds , anyone who is part or was part of BW forum would know that there has been numerous geometry figures shown on bessler's drawings , people have and still are exploring such avenues , but i never actually see anything worthy of a second look or further investigation for myself , figures on their own mean nothing to me personally , but each their own.

If that happens, then we will have to give John a new title to replace his old one of "John, the Great Disappointer" because if he stops building, he'll also stop making future promises he can't keep and then inevitably disappointing everyone and making them angry at him. I'm now proposing a new title for him then which will be "John, KING of the Bessler Wheel Armchair Philosophers"! Sounds much better to be a king than a disappointer.
We must now await his future coronation and ascent to his well cushioned throne. Upon reaching it, a golden five point crown will be placed upon his sweaty bald head for all the world to see:

DeleteYou make some valid points, but for me at least half of the enjoyment as a pm chaser lies in the quest itself. I will never regret all the time and effort I’ve expended in this hobby, because it’s kept me alive, curious and busy and out of my armchair! My mind is full of possible solutions, and not just about Bessler’s wheel, but other ways of generating electricity. So, ‘je ne regrette rien’ as the song goes, I have no regrets - even if I fail.

Delete"We need to hear more from those that quit and why they did."
Ok, here's my brief story. About six years ago I saw a video of a permanent magnet motor being demonstrated. It was putting out hundreds of watts of power! There were some sketchy foreign patent drawings online by the inventor and I decided to build my own version. Over the course of about five years, I must have put in thousands of hours and spent thousands of dollars. What did I get for all of that? Absolutely nothing! It left me feeling drained and duped especially when I found out later that the inventor who had all kinds of grandiose plans for his revolutionary free energy machine, suddenly disappeared along with his "working" prototype. Then everyone was saying it had to have been a hoax powered by hidden lithium batteries! Apparently he had been collecting money from people to help him start a factory to perfect his device and bring it to market so every home could have one.
I quit my search about a year ago, but lately I feel this need to start up again. It's almost like being a recovered alcoholic who has been "dry" too long and can't stop thinking about heading toward his nearest liquor store so he can go on a week long bender! I will never touch magnets again, but I am considering some sort of gravity only device. I'm fascinated by the Bessler story and also what I've seen in this blog. This time around, however, I will limit myself to only a single year of trying. If I get nothing after exactly one year, then I am out of it for the rest of my life. I would advise others to put a strict time limit on whatever approach they are using. If it doesn't produce results by then, then either move on to some other approach or quit.
I don't quite understand the regret argument , i can assure everyone what drives a PM seeker is everything other than regret , it is a fascination with everything new they learn , it is the satisfactory feeling of accomplishment when their new found knowledge is applied in the real world , tinkering and exploring physics ,searching for all the wonderful secrets held in nature.
DeleteWhat is special about PM seekers is their ability to move on failure after failure and never feeling bad about any of it , because soon after , a new discovery would immediately consume any feelings of failure .
Dear reader , sorry to let you know , regret is for people who do something morally wrong .
I tend to disagree with that. They might put on a positive looking front, but one failure after another, year after year has a way of wearing away at a person's enthusiasm and hopefulness. And, of course, constantly being told by family members and the scientists of the world that they are delusional and wasting their time does not help matters. They experience a kind of unique bondage. They can't make it work, yet they can't let go of it and move on. That must create a constant state of anxiety in them that cannot be relieved.
DeleteI've often wondered if pm seekers are really masochists who are, through their futile hobby, unconsciously punishing themselves for some self perceived inferiority. Maybe they, who are almost always males, came from families where the parents, particularly their fathers, put them down because they could not do well in school or on jobs? I wonder if anyone ever bothered to do some sort of psychological study of them to see what really motivates them.
Do you realize that if any of the things you say were true , PM seekers would have stopped seeking hundreds of years ago .
DeleteSome people are made of tougher stuff than others and can endure more suffering for a longer time. Those "veterans" over on BWF and other sites around the world are made of the toughest stuff to have lasted so long as they have. Maybe 99% of the others being less tough dropped out years ago due to boredom, frustration, disability, or death. But, even all those veterans will eventually follow the same path unless they are lucky enough to find a working design..
DeleteI suspect if it was not for the single case of Bessler, the total number of pm seekers nowadays would be only about a few percent of what it actually is. His one case acts like magnet to pull people into the quest. But, what if it was all just a big hoax that he happened to be lucky enough not to get caught committing? That would mean over the last three centuries people have wasted millions of man-hours of labor for nothing! Everyone here will immediately say it can't possibly be a hoax because we read this or that in such a such a letter or some translation of one of his books. But, maybe there are other documents we haven't seen yet that, if we did, would immediately convince us he was a hoaxer?!
Without a final working wheel that performs like his were reported to, there is no way anyone can definitely say at this time that he was not hoaxing. Right now, claiming he wasn't a hoaxer is just an opinion with nothing to back it up. It is like having faith in some weird religion's "teachings" because one heard some cleric preach it in church somewhere. It really means nothing as far as reality is concerned. All that matters is results and, so far, there are none when it comes to Bessler's wheels. All we have are dozens of different opinions and a lot of wishful thinking.
I think anyone considering trying to solve the Bessler wheel mystery should keep that in mind before he even starts. If he does, he'll be taking on a high risk gamble that could waste a tremendous amount of his time, energy, and money and maybe even be detrimental to his physical and mental health and his relationships with his family and friends unless he's incredibly lucky enough to find success and relatively soon after he starts. God only knows how many others lost that gamble over the centuries that we don't know about. It could be millions for all we know!
@anon 13:11
DeleteI have to agree with you that no one can at this time absolutely prove that Bessler was not hoaxing. However, I can accept that he was not hoaxing based on probability. What is the probability that he was hoaxing and also to make it look even more believable, he hid all of those clues that SoS is finding three hundred years later in his drawings? It seems very unlikely to me that a hoaxer would go to all of that extra trouble. Why do something like that for a hoax? But, it begins to make sense if we believe that he did it so that the secret of his genuine pm wheel would not be lost forever if it was not sold and he eventually died. I think I would be willing to bet my entire life savings that he was not hoaxing. Not my head, though.

Delete"Without a final working wheel that performs like his were reported to, there is no way anyone can definitely say at this time that he was not hoaxing."
Even if someone gets a pm wheel that works like Bessler's did, that doesn't prove Bessler's wheel was not a hoax. It could be possible that other genuine wheel, by coincidence, just happened to have the same performance as Bessler's hoaxed wheel. We need to find enough clues to give us the actual design of Bessler's wheel so we can see that it matched that of the later genuine pm wheel which would then verify that Bessler's earlier wheel was not hoaxed. Hopefully guys like that SoS can find enough clues to tell us what design Bessler actually used. It's too bad we don't have some piece of any of Bessler's original wheels to study because it could tell us a lot. A single lever would be enough and, who knows, maybe one is sitting in some museum right now in a display case and nobody knows exactly what it is!
Yes JC, I agree. It's as if SoS has arranged for his followers to post complementary comments every time he appears!
Delete@JC
DeleteHmm...I think the secret of SoS's popularity here over the years is that he keeps things very simple and makes everyone feel like an amateur numerologist when he suddenly appears and reveals some new clue to us. Your clues tend to be too mathematical and harder for people to follow and understand. Most won't even bother to read them because of that.
Last year you said you were going to get away from that and show us more drawings, photos, and videos, but you failed to keep that promise. SoS on the other hand arrives, drops tantalizing hints about some amazing clue he's found to get everyone's attention, and then reveals a nice surprise clue to us which is always new and interesting. Some of your clues are over a decade old already and still have not led to a working wheel which is probably why many don't trust their validity.
Also, he has that hocus pocus psychic element added to everything he does which makes his fans think he has magical powers to bring them ultimate truths. He gives everyone an entertaining magic show why you give everyone a boring geometry lesson!
I think you would do well to study his methods and try to copy them.
Like any good messiah figure, he always promises to return in the future with more wonders yet to be revealed before he takes off to tend to his offline life which makes it sound like he 's ascending back to heaven or something. That gets everyone wondering when he'll return and what he'll be bringing with him when he does.
I think he'd make a perfect cult leader if he wasn't here! Lol!
Lol! Sounds like while John was telling everyone here how a top hat is made, SoS was busy pulling rabbits out of that hat. The kids here just love all those cute little rabbits!
