Bessler's Wheel.....

Greetings pese

That is a very interesting approach as well. I don't see perpetuation but it could become a device that can add torque to a slower system by reaction.

1:30 to 3:00 ( and the opposite arm 7:30 to 9:00)  Sorry no time for pictures...   ok... this time frame is what I believe Bessler was referring to in his Apologia Poetica......

a large herd of fat, lazy,
plump horses wanders aimlessly.
The flail wants to be with the
thresher, not with the scholar

The flail is the weight attached to the spring arm via a chain or cable (wiki flail and you will see the correlation)

The fat lazy horses....  are the weights and counter weights during this position... both the counterweight and the weight will want to go home to the center of the hub but due to the angle of the track the counterweight has a slight advantage... thus the flail will want to be with the thresher.... out in the fields so to say... not at home or inside with the scholar... these weights will go back and forth as they fight for dominance....  seeming to wander aimlessly....
Finally at 3:00 the weight comes to rest where we want it... in the out side leg
