Peter Lindemann, The Mechanical Engine: A Re-Evolution of Bessler's Wheel

There is no way in hell a falling weight on a wheel can lift the same weight on the up side and some how add energy to the system.

Brian,

That is a lot like saying your tank scheme will not work because I said so, or CoE says so, or TK and Hans say so.  Not much useful information in those statements.  But for those who want to learn I have offered this simulation that shows how some equations predict this system will perform.  It confirms the ideas of some and refutes those of others as to how the mechanism might or might not work.  But sadly it does not prove an OU Bessler type wheel of this particular design might work.  Not that it entirely rules it out either.  It does, however, show a failure (to run) mode that was different than I was expecting.  And so I share that information with others who might also be interested in learning this.  I believe that is the spirit of these forums.

Put a weight on a wheel any where you want, and than try to make it spin. It will not.

I can criticize what I do not understand.

I used to think other wise, but have been taught by the experts and builders that it is not possible.
