You guys do realize that this design is based on MT135 & 142 ?


" Further demonstrations regarding the possibility and impossibility of perpetual motion

NB. May 1, 1733. Due to the arrest, I burned and buried all papers that prove the possibility. However, I have left all demonstrations and experiments, since it would be difficult for anybody to see or learn anything about a perpetual motion from them or to decide whether there was any truth in them because no illustration by itself contains a description of the motion; however, taking various illustrations together and combining them with a discerning mind, it will indeed be possible to look for a movement and, finally to find one in them. "
- Johann Bessler, cover page of Maschinen Tractate

When Bessler died,  it is said he took with him a simple secret to how his device works.     
Are there any theories on what his secret was?

I don't think it's important anymore what he took with him ... it's more important what he left behind . I have a certain way of looking at the information and I'm progressing . Some have noticed it . But as long as we search for that magic lever principle we will not find it ... it's just not that simple I don't think . But anyway I suppose that was a rhetorical question ? How can you be sure that the animation I have presented here is not representative of what Bessler took with him ? It had to be something behind that cloth...and it was quite noisy I have heard . This is not just happenstance , I have several reasons to favor those drawings .
