Bessler Wheel Theory by Alex

[rlortie]

Stefan,

[A topic you are watching has been marked as a sticky topic by hartiberlin.]

Been here and lurked for the last three years, never seen this before, can you explain to a "Newbie" what a sticky topic is?

This is as bad as having someone ask me "how long has this wind been blowing?"  I tell the I do not know as I have only lived here since 1974.

I tried now to model the
MT 10 14 15 25 version in WM2D,
but still having difficulties.

Well, it seems nothing is working without springs.

Also a second principle could be used:
centrifugal forces in sync with the wheel rotation.

But this is even harder to build, as you have to
sync the inertia and RPM of the wheel exactly to the
centrifugal forces from weights on rods inside the wheel.

I am too tired now to finish the modeling.
Will continue this evening and post then my results as a video.

Regards, Stefan.

A video of my wheel is now possible as some of the lever mechanism is fastned and wont fall, I dont have weights yet but I can attach marbles to pretend they are weights infact its funny because you dont even need weights, if the levers were more heavy that the wheel, the wheel would run without weights

Here is the footage of my wheel, you dont see the mechanism as it will give to much away on building it as I want some protection as you assume you understand that and also to many people on youtube will see how it works so...

It looks nice, I want to have a go at it with sketchup  .
