The Bessler Wheel, mystery solved.

[gauschor]

Well... time is up! Where is it? 
Should I assume the "working prototype" only existed in a (bugridden) software application? Disappointing...

It is in the same place and state that his 2008 claims were back then.

Well here we are on June 2nd and not even an excuse and no replicators either.

100. TK's Wager: (TK's post below)

Ok, you want to play, fine. I'll play.

How about making a little wager?

I'll bet you that you will not show any working device. Ever, but let's put a time limit on the bet, say, one month plus a few days. Call it June 1. If you haven't shown a real working Bessler-variant wheel by June 1, I win the bet.

Let's say, if I win, you make a one hundred dollar donation to your local no-kill animal shelter or neuter-spay program. If, on the other hand, you win.... then we all win, because you will have Saved the World from the Tyranny of Big Oil. And I'll make a hundred dollar donation (of my now worthless money)  to you or the charity of your choice.

(Drawings and theoretical calculations DO NOT COUNT without a functioning prototype. You are claiming to have something that works... and I say you do not. So show your working device, not a drawing of it!)

101. Gurangax accepts wager:

Wager or not, I still will disclose it before your said time limit. Anyway I accept this wager.

So... the time limit has been agreed to, it has come and it has gone. The terms of the wager were agreed to and accepted by Gurangax. No real working Bessler-variant wheel has been demonstrated by Gurangax, or anyone else. Not even by the fellow who almost had a heart attack when Gurangax showed him whatever he does have.

SO... I am declaring that Gurangax has officially Lost This Wager.

Gurangax, please make your donation of 100 dollars US to your local no-kill animal shelter (or spay-neuter program) as soon as possible. Within 7 days would be fair, I think. I expect you to post an image of the donation receipt by the close of business on June 8 or before. Please make the donation in the name of "Nikola Tesla".



(Actually, what I really expect is that Gurangax won't honor the bet and that he won't be posting anything. )
