Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

True, but remember it is not the weights that touch that jagged edge, it is an oval shaped joining bar (in this case)

Yeah. I've just realised that as you can see from my last post. The bar has a smaller diameter than the weights and so you get more bangs (rotations) for the buck as the assembly progresses along the rack track,

I didn't know it was oval shaped. Presumably that's like a two toothed cog and must have some mechanical advantage or other.

When you with calculation state something, isn't then possible to export that into a curve as a DXF file?  If that is possible then we have the perfect angles..

Sorry - I don't do calculation - I've been spoilt in my career and always has someone else for that.
A bit like being a king in the past who didn't need to read and right cos he always had scribes to do that for him. 

And I've no idea what a DXF file is ( I know what a bastard file is though  )

I am starting to have doubts now too, sorry to say.

I'm not. Now that I can see the high rotation of the weights is modelling the temperature rotation of atoms I'm confident he has a jumbo sized heat engine. with the weights and the working fluid and gravity as the energy source.

I wonder how Bessler got his rotation. The weights were cylindrical which figures. He let people handle them but wrapped in a cloth. Maybe he wanted to hide the hole for an axle.

I'll do my best.
....

What happens to the rotating weight when it slams into the going down bit I wouldn't like to say, 

I suppose that's the pressure on the piston bit.

And now for beddy byes - till I need to get up for a pee.

FWIW

Initial "Egg" shape try attached.

Need to reshape legs so they do not point to axle.

And no acceleration, not even in a vacuum & friction less environment....
