How To Build A Bessler Type Wheel

[johnny874]

  @All,
Since I know I'll be having surgery June 25th, might do a little work between now and then.
With the basic pump I've built, I can make some improvements to it like using bushing and
making the lever adjustable. This would let me do some developmental work, in simpler terms,
I'd have a better idea of what I'll need to do to get decent rotation out of the wheel.
Kind of like where rubber meets the road. This would be quite mportant. I have spent a lot
of time working on how to build it, and this would let me know how the mechanics would
need to work.

  I've added notations to some of my videos as well as adding this one.
A simple way to build a round wheel and why it will work. I will be improving
the pump I built. While it will work better, it won't mean much unless building
a wheel of this type is something you plan on doing.
I have realized I will need to build 2 wheels. One about 20 inches in diameter
and the 40 inch diameter wheel I've been pursuing. The smaller wheel will be
good for working on my build technique and understanding the realities of getting
this type of invention to work.
I have sent a link to my channel to John Collins and rlortie. I think they will take
a passive interest to be safe after wht has been said about me pursuing this work.

think i will start dismantling mx shop tomorrow.
can always build later on.

   @All,
The outline in the attachment will show some basic relationships which need
to be understood. This is where the math I posted in m*d/t is helpful.
Using 1kg/9,8newtons of force as the base line for calculations, an understanding
of it's potential can be had.
If a mass of 1kg is needed to be moved, what needs to be remembered is that gravity
will be exerting 9.8 newtons of negative force. This would mean the weight on the lever
needs to account for this. With the dimensions in the diagram, a ratio of 6:3.75 is shown,
a ratio of 1.6:1. With this ratio,  a weight with 1.6 times the mass would have equal force
or potential. To lift it at 1/4 or .25 the speed of gravity or 2.7 m/s, a potential of 24 Newtons
plus the 9.8 Newtons acting against it for a total of 33.8 Newtons. This translates into a weight
with 2.15 times the mass of what is to be moved.
Resistance would rob the system of some energy but this would be able to be accounted for by
doing basic testing.
In reality, someone with a drill and a jig saw could probably build on of these.

                                                                                                          Jim
p.s. the calculations are for 1kg. This is because 9.8 Newtons are the negative force which
is based on 1kg. For .5 or 1/2kg, then 4.9 Newtons would be the negative potential. Also,
the acceleration for the mass being lifted is based on 1kg. With 1/2 or .5kg mass, it would be
12 instead of 24. It would take someone a little practice to understand how to calculate what
weight would ne needed to try to obtain a specific result.
Then the next step would be to see if the engineering would allow for the mass of water or fluid.
Development of an idea is a step by step process, even one like Bessler's. reverse engineering is
not the simplest thing.

You may already know about it but you could download a free physics simulator and see some of your ideas in action (like Algodoo or OECake) before you actually build them. Those simulators are pretty basic and inaccurate (compared to professional software) but it's better than nothing, right?
