Recently I speculated that Bessler might have found two different solutions to his wheel, but I’ve been doing work on this idea and whether it’s true or not, I could neither prove it nor disprove it.
But I did find an alternative to the scissor mechanisms which is better. It’s simpler and reacts quickly to an alterations to its horizontal angle. Also it doesn’t lock up at each end of its travel. I’m not ready to share yet, I have minor improvements to make, but as always, confidence is high! I wish!
I think that Bessler was offering advice on using scissor mechs but knowing that their action was desirable but not perfect, so look for an alternative that was better.
I’m still working on my personal conviction that Bessler’s wheel had five mechanisms - or five or nine. I know this idea is universally dismissed among us, but I have my reasons for continuing down this path.

A recent comment pointing to a no longer live blog which mentioned me and my books, was a pleasant surprise and it prompted me to take a look at my stats. I copied and posted them below. It’s reassuring that so many people are interested in this subject.
I admit that after 17 years those numbers, accumulated since February 2009, should probably be much higher. But I’m still pleased that each month’s figures are good.
