Analysing of Bessler's Clues 01.
"The machine's power was directly proportional to its diameter"

- the larger the diameter, the more power it has
- in other words, the smaller the diameter, the weaker it is
- take note: it did not mention the increase in power which result in the ability to turn the wheel, but should most probably be related either directly or indirectly
- so, if the diameter is very small, meaning very weak, can the wheel turn?

Hi,

May I point that power is the product of speed and torque ? And, that speed is caused, and only caused by the high of fall (not by the weight) ? So, of course the power of a gravity wheel, if any, is mainly caused by its diameter. That's why most of experiments don't work : prototypes are often too small. Weight can't counterbalance insufficient diameter.

I don't know if a gravity wheel could really turn... but it seems to me as obvious that only a big one could turn.

P.S. sorry for my poor english. That's not my native language...
