"g" paradox...

       Hi Jim!
It's a good idea to take a concentrating look at Milkovic's site.

I had an e-mail connection with him,some years ago and everytime he has some news,I receive an announcement.

You can discover that the gravity fall is so complex,thinking of a falling stick,chimney,pendulum,solid state,elastic bodies ....

Regarding Maschinen Tractate ( your MT 25 first choice...),I will open a new topic.

    Hi Jim !

I visited  the 1-143 drawings from Maschinen Tractate .

About your comment regarding MT25,first question is :really can work the mass-driver?Had you made an easy experiment(not on the paper,or on the screen..) ?

Usually,the people imagine an obsessive "wheel",some asymmetric "arabesque" rough outlines,representations that you can see on persian carpets or on the oriental temple walls...this is statics.

  If you reduce these  attempts to the minimum lines (left side-fulcrum-right side),you discover a simple ...weighting equivalent "machine" ,with a tiny swinging motion about the horizontal line,nothing more.

Gravity dynamics is something different,this implies a certain fall,firstly : an Atwood machine with a heavy pulley,can tell you more... 
In my opinion,gravity dynamics is something different,in the Archimedes line.

Sorry,but this forum has no experimental builders

     Hi Jim !
It seems that,you are fascinated about MT 25...so I wish you success.You know that actions speak louder than words.The model is not so difficult,so if you lay your bike on ground,you can use a "free" wheel, as a support for the arrangement of MT25.

     Hi Jim !

Falling stick,falling chimney and others ,all are "Whipp effects".

You can read a lot of things about this phenomena,on net,if you type the appropiate words.

More interesting is the use of this effect , in the animal world.

    Hi Jim !

As usually,somebody proposes a topic ("g" paradox...),and the people moves it elsewhere...

Regarding Bessler's MT25,we have no good news:it doesn't work,you know.

If you have a proposal about it, a certain change on the line of the same design,try to make it in an elementary manner,so to express your thought.
Better is to test it...
