The Bessler Wheel, mystery solved.

[gurangax]

So can we make the following assumption.  In a no weight scenario, the folding up or unfolding (depending on how you look at it) of the two stage lever/linkage (under its own weight) produces more height and thus more weight and leverage above the axle.

Anyway I suggest you make a test on real device and start learn from there.

Much as been said about

Weights gained force from their own swinging (or movement).
- Bessler

The swinging interpretation is what supports the idea of CF.  Movement would imply something else which is what I believe you are alluding to.

I'm constantly working on builds and thinking of different models.  I don't rule out any design or principle until I can disprove it.  The "swinging" is what keeps my interest in the 2SO.

I dont think its the CF more like the inertia of a moving object.

Besslers one-way wheels were very thin.  I would think that if there were z-axis components and movements, they would have to have been inside the axles, at least this is a possibility.  I'm thinking of something like MT34 for the weight shifting levers and weights.

no its just the same principle, with slight variations.
