July Update

My biological father came from a long line of courageous and determined people, I probably don’t have his flair for adventure but the family motto is 'Dum spiro spero' (While I breath I hope) and that suits me just fine.  I’m a firm believer in Johann Bessler’s claims about his perpetual motion device. I recognise his determination to hide his clues about his wheel within his published works, in the hope that one day someone will succeed in deciphering that information, long after his death.  This would lead to world-wide acknowledgement of his achievement.  So as long as I have breath in  my body I will continue to bring to the public's attention the work of this amazing and clever inventor.

I have read about all the latest alternatives to fossil fuels, nuclear and solar power, wind tidal etc; all the new electric power engines, and their variants, ingenious but very expensive - but it still seems to me that there is and will be a place for Bessler’s gravity enabled generator. Time will tell, but I think Bessler’s wheel will prove to be the cheapest machine to generate electricity.

So where am I with my own model of Bessler’s wheel?  So my latest offering has some crucial changes, but still using five mechanisms.  The clues I’m using were found within his drawings and also in his text in more than one book.  One problem in interpreting his clues lies in their ambiguity, but one can work through the alternatives and hopefully come up with his intended meaning.

As soon as I’ve finished this latest model I’ll post pictures, if it’s working or not, I’ll also show for the first time exactly where I obtained the information about the actual configuration of the wheel. This is because I’m moving home soon and will not building any more wheels, although I shall continue to promote Bessler’s wheel.

One of the most convincing features of this search is the incredible amount of coded information that Bessler inserted into his published works (note that I always say ‘published’ because his Maschine Tractate was never published and although it contains information it wasn’t aimed at us)

His use of a number of ancient coding systems including some of his own invention, means that there is still a huge amount of deciphering, decoding and interpreting remaining to be accomplished, in addition to much of my own efforts.  I’ve pointed out the various places which obviously contain coded information, but apart from some minor work in identifying it, I remain unable to decipher the inventor’s meassage, 

I hope that with the publication of a working Bessler wheel, there will be flood of both professional and amateur code breakers all hoping to be the first discover what Bessler had to say.

Bessler routinely provided back-up clues to confirm deciphered information when achieved, and it takes a small effort understand the clues and what they mean.  Unfortunately it’s my experience that many people don’t bother to work out the clues from my explanations, preferring to go for something requiring the minimum amount of intellectual reasoning.

I’m always optimistic that his wheel will be reconstructed, maybe by myself, or someone else, but sooner rather than later!
