My Bessler Quest

[Alexioco]

Yeah, I just use those guidlines if i am working on wheel like the one I have started now, I wouldnt say they apply to everything, but quite alot of wheels IMHO

Ralph, I am not sure of the history of that old Indian Wheel.  Sorry.

Hi guys -

First let me say that a computer simulation using the accepted notion of a fixed weight for objects will never predict a working Bessler wheel.

Sorry, it was nothing more than a grandfather clock system, using weights and pulley's. bessler was a clock maker if anything.

why do you guys think of a wheel....? THINK OF A SHAFT BEING THE CENTER.........the idea is to move a shaft by offset weights in a concentric circle it will not happen if you keep things in center  and why do you need a wheel .... you need a spinning shaft..........think of a teeter totter .....it works ,.....just more weight on the gravity side than the lifting side ....get it ...I am going to post a idea ...........lol ......more weight on the gravity side than the lift side ......... the ideal concept would be for linear bearings with a .010 play no resistance ......and rollers on the ends of the rods ............ the idea is that the rods float freely through the center now look at the basic diagram and THINK.. how cheaply could you do this at home



in the basic dia i am showing  a shift in rod weight loose the circle think center..... think egg .....look at one in the long horizontal position .....Why am i giving this away............I got better...... now the pick is rough but smart people will get it
