The Bessler Wheel, mystery solved.

Deforming, deflection happens because of action but not reaction.  When pulley/bearings deform,  it implies that they  are not strong enough to provide reaction in the opposite direction. 

The term 'reaction'  has sofar not been understood clearly by physicists.  May be Newton has to take birth again to explain it.

The deformation / deflection stops when the forces match.  I am afraid that you have not taken the time to understand the three laws of your namesake.

Reaction force exists even when there is no deformation/deflection.  Is it only for namesake?

One question from my side my friends. As toys are the key to understanding I have to understand the toys first.

Toys C, D and E are quite obvious.
B is Jacobs Ladder.
What's A??

Maybe it is a way to display the timing-axis.


BTW When I have a good look at the figures, it looks like the upper are slightly titled to the front and the lower to the back (z-axis).

Is there anyone really familiar with the Bessler Wheel?  Some questions:  Do we KNOW that there is an axle that runs clear through the wheel?  If not, if it is possible that the inside is clear of anything jutting through the middle, that gives one more possibilities of what one can do.  If it does have an axle like that, there are still 2 possibilities.  Either the axle is solidly locked to the ground and does not rotate, and the wheel just rotates over it.  OR, the axle rotates with the wheel, which I suppose would mean the bearings would be outside of the wheel. Which is it? If the former, then that too presents some advantages, as now you have a solid non-moving structure inside the wheel to work with.

"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."  Any static force that is not matched by an opposing static force results in acceleration in the direction of the imbalance, and consequently a reaction force equal to the product of the mass and the acceleration.
