My condolences to you LarryC

May positive closer come from this time of sorrow.

@all

In Larry's absence, I thought that I would offer my version of this project to continue this discussion. I would appreciate any constructive
comments, suggestions, etc.

Mine is about 90% completed as you can see but the basic theory is that there is a 1/2" steel pin mounted offset on either side of the rotor plate that holds the weights. The rotor assembly moves clockwise and the pin moves under the short arm strike plate lifting the short arm and pressing down on the actuator arm. This loads the extension spring and moves the actuator arm into position for the lift. With the pins mounted close to the center there should be sufficient leverage.

Just prior to the 6:00/12:00 position, the pin rolls off of the short arm releasing the energy stored in the spring and/or counterweights lifting the weights/roller up to the retention ramp. I'm hoping I can accomplish this within a 30 degree arc or less. Once the roller is on the ramp the weights fall on the right side and the cycle continues.

Regards,
Charlie

Off topic a bit but I am wondering if anyone can enlighten me as to the history / origin of the two Bessler illustrations below. I am most curious as to their timelines. One thing that stands out to me is that the shadowing under the Cornish stamp mill in the one illustration is the same as the other perspective in the same drawing where is in the other illustration they are opposing shadows in the two perspectives. I am curious also about the alignment of the cogs on the stamp mill in the two illustrations. They are different. Two cogs on the axle are aligned in the one and very slightly offset in the other. This was something never seen in actual stamp mills.

Thanking all in advance for the least input.

It was brought to my attention that the pictures that I posted were hard to see the detail so here's a drawing which hopefully will be clearer.

Bod could have "invented" his gravity wheel modified from this:
