The Bessler Wheel, mystery solved.

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

I think we have all seen this in our builds.  I certainly have building 2SOs.  They also work without weights (assuming the right materials and dimensions).

it definitely doesn't oscillate.

So can we make the following assumption.  In a no weight scenario, the folding up or unfolding (depending on how you look at it) of the two stage lever/linkage (under its own weight) produces more height and thus more weight and leverage above the axle.

the concept is already there but there's a bit more to it

• Weights gained force from their own swinging (or movement).
