Back to the clues.  You mentioned some weights need to be 3/4 lighter.  This could suggest there are weights that shift, and there are weights that act as shifters (basically a 4 weight crossbar).  You didn't say as much in your posts, but it would seem to make sense.  Can you elaborate on what you meant about the different weights?

his calculations is grossly wrong, since gravity doesnt deplete the energy like a battery so the hours doesnt count.

I need from his VP,
and agree, gravity doesnt deplete the energy like a battery. its mean "ALWAYS" there ,

Now you are making progress. Bessler says


"A great craftsman would be that man who can 'lightly' cause a heavy weight to fly upwards! Who can make a pound-weight rise as 4 ounces fall, or 4 pounds rise as 16 ounces fall. If he can sort that out, the motion will perpetuate itself. But if he can't, then his hard work shall be all in vain."


i suggest that you read everything on this page [/size]http://www.besslerwheel.com/wiki/index.php?title=Portal:Clues

Yes I have read those clues many times.  So it would seem I am correct in the assumption of the crossbar containing two weights and two shifter weights.  Another assumption would be that the shifter weights are the weights that fall.

At this point I'm trying to clear up uncertainties in my assumptions of the clues you presented.  Again I thank you for responding.

you dont need weights to make it work. the levers itself have mass and weight.
