Bessler's Brilliant Device

[christo4_99]

The truth is , like all art , like Bessler himself said , the reward of an unbidden accomplishment is claimed willy nilly . Nobody walked up to Bessler one day and said , " I will pay you $____  if you can devise a perpetual motion machine . " He took it upon himself . And since it was his special property he had a right to put a price on it . The truth is again that the world did not value it enough . Bessler put a lot of effort into marketing it . Lets not blame the inventor ... he's the one that did all the work . It would be nice if things of value always came into the hands of people who ,  being wealthy , have no need for monetary gain . Bessler was a successful  " Perpetual Mobilist " in that he attained his goal , it's the rest of the world that did not hold up it's end of the bargain .

Hi folks, hi johnny, thanks for positive reply.
Hi christo,
My view is, is that if the intention of an inventor is to spread an invention and how it functions to all of humanity, then there will be no price tag of any kind applied.
It is what it is, a baby isn't going to eat, if the parents put a price tag on the baby food, babies are not enslaved yet at that age, so have no funny money.
And the above applies down the whole list of vested interest groups of humans.
Also, It is far more likely that the world or bessler is not to blame, though more likely vested interests of the few were the obstruction, even in his time period.
Most likely, these vested few already had advanced technological knowledge from previous advanced civilizations and possibly other sources and things like the bessler wheel did not fit into there future plans that we see in the world today.
I only mention my perspective when i see words like you posted, because i know it is not a lack of inventions and it is not the worlds fault or the inventors, it is this small group or groups that need to be dis-empowered to never again be able to have any influence over the lives of living beings.
peace love light

  The cold hard reality is that being able to navigate the seas is worth considerably more. Trade is worth a lot of money.
As some say, he thought his invention was wroth as much as something proven to have value. After all, cartography is not a willy nilly subject where one demands good money for something that is not proven.
It does sound strange though to hear of a man who was owed much money for doing something when he had no agreement with anyone to pay him. And also he is supposed to be quite religious. A relgious man who is also greedy ? What does the bible say about such things ? I doubt it would support him. What was it Jesus (Cristo) said ? What does it benefit a man to gain the world only to lose his soul ?
Might not have been Jesus, but a quick seacr found this. Please tell me where it is wrong sir.
Matthew 16:26
For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?


If Bessler was the guy who quoted the Bible over 100 times, I'm not to sure if it was him asking for the money. It might be that he might have felt greed would dimish his dicovery.  But to someone else, such as another person, they might have thought that if they could get him to pursue a large amount of money, then they could ask for some for their part in it (seeing the monetary value of it). And I think that is closer to the reality of it. That people who have not taken the time and effort to do the work themselves do not value the work for the accomplishmnet it truly was and is.

Bessler was an inventor first and a teacher second  .  I can see that you have not learned anything from him  .  Greed implies an excessive love of money or love of excess money or money for the sake of money . It is not greed when a man does the impossible , wraps it all up in a neat tidy package and slaps a price tag on it . Rather  , it's simply recompense .  " Mean , nasty , greedy Bessler wouldn't tell us how his machine worked "... that's what you all sound like and it's silly because the only way to solve it is to do the brain work necessary , take it as a challenge and either fail ( like most ) or succeed like very , very few (one?)... but stop crying like bitches and judging people . It's basically just a difference of opinion in which I am using empathy for my compass and you all are using ideals . Ideally , yes , it would have been nice if Bessler had made us all privy to his invention but then we'd have nothing to argue about or look forward to . On the other hand in the real world hobbies , interests , obsessions if you will cost a lot of money and up until Bessler solved the problem he had wasted a lot of time and money on searching for it . Get real .
