< Estimating the number of cross, weights, quarters.... >

using the following for reference
- using the Draschwitz Wheel 9.3 feet
- 4 pounds heavy rolling weight, roughly about the size of coke can
- reason to use rolling weight is that swinging weight can cross over to the quarter of
another swinging weight, so it's rather difficult to make an assumption, but rolling weights
unlikely to cross over each other path
- human of height 1.8 meter for comparison to the wheel and weight

using the following method
- estimating the number of quarters by evenly distributing the weights around the edges of
the wheel
- give different estimation how wide the quarter will be
- the more cross the better a.k.a the heavier the wheel will be

< A "Child & Club" Interpretation of Bessler Wheel >

"The levers loaded with heavy weights as viewed from the side, may be compared to side
views of many children playing with very heavy clubs among tall broken columns. The
strongest of the children cannot lift the lightest of the clubs. Still, each child can swing (or
you might call it "step" as it uses a club as a "leg") from the top of one broken column to
the top of the next broken column by positioning his heavy club on the ground
between the two close columns and holding on to the handle end to swing over to the
top of the next column.
Then he rotates the handle end of his club to maneuver it between his current column
and his next intended column so that he can again "step" or swing a small angle over to
the top of the next intended broken column. "

take note: give an estimated time frame for the child swinging and club rolling would roughly
take around 2 to 5 seconds, which is in serious conflict with the wheel running above 50
rpm, or 26 rpm (around 1-2 sec for 1 revolution). There is no time for the weights (child and
club) to complete their expected movements.
