The Bessler Wheel, mystery solved.

[AB Hammer]

There is always a cost,, even in an open path.

Yes there is always a cost. We just have to figure out how to get more value out of our expense.

I know about this part TK,, it is not in how high  things are , nor is it in actually how far they move from start to finish,, it is in how much gravity they use up,, I know, confusing term, but that would be that change in gravity that is not replaced or recovered.

So what did it cost the surfer for that free ride?

I fully believe that gravity is a conserved field,, that does not mean that it can not be used.

I ask you as well,, So what did it cost the surfer for that free ride?

Well, first, the sun had to input energy to heat the earth in an uneven manner which causes the wind which makes the waves.  Then, the surfer had to not only paddle out to be in position, he had to expend energy to "catch up" with the wave as it passes over him.  He must match the velocity of the moving water or...he will be left behind.  Other than that, no energy whatsoever was expended for his "free" ride.

ETA:  I left out gravity as surfers are almost always running downhill not unlike a skier.  (I used to surf)

Nice test.  It appears that Mr. Hand is inputting a lot of energy there.  Please try TK's method of using a string and a weight to establish the revoloutions of the wheel without anything added and use this as your baseline for tests with your devices added to the wheel.  This method will show right away if the things you have added to the wheel are helping, or hurting the rotation.

Hi all
I have made a wheel with one cross bar . as per me(or theoretically) crossbar has to be in equilibrium only in y - axis (90 degrees). but I am seeing the rest(equilibrium) position of crossbar at +/- 60 degrees. it is reaching the y - axis when i left(with out any force/ free fall) the arm from x - axis position. If i let it fall above the x -axis it is crossing the y - axis but not able to continue the rotation. by adding the more cross bars can i achieve rotations?.
