My Best Guess on A Bessler Wheel

[NathanCoppedge]

Here is a diagram [BELOW] illustrating my version of the Bessler Wheel.

Comments welcome.

I just attached two thick wedge-shaped boxes with marbles to a central 'bar weight' spanning contingently.

The toy I used was K'Nex, which was popular some years ago, and is probably still available for order online.

I also have a video of the model I built swinging pretty fast --- but coming to a stop.

So, sorry to disappoint. For the die-hard Bessler fans, they have to guess I have the wrong design.

This is pretty good, though, as I say in the video. It does seem to hold a steady speed until friction interrupts it.

Here is the video on YouTube:

[feel free to browse the other videos in my channel as well. I have a number of more successful models I have previously filmed, to serve as partial evidence].

Hi,
great work!
It what position does it stop?

The best Bessler wheel possible is a well-balanced flywheel.

its not use trying to solve the bessler wheel as I have already solved it.

Thx  men.

The well worn,(and understandably assumptive) phrase, 'The best gravity wheel is a flywheel', is traditionally capitulative, and perpetuates mystery masquerading as comprehension.  The following example is but one of many which naturally requires no deep analysis to see that more than enough energy is released in order to bring the device back to the reset position with enough left over for another go.  And is but one of many examples which point toward man's historical preference to cyclical immersion in chaos, over continually co-ordinated creativity.

Valid or otherwise, Bessler's concerns kept him from fully sharing his experiences.

Rare is the dog who won't drop it's bone upon seeing that 'other dog' with it's bone in the still water just beneath the bridge as the sun passes it's zenith.

Of course, time and still waters are becoming rarer commodities through which to 'reflect' in this Day and Age.


Good Journies
