Bessler Wheel Theory by Alex

[Alexioco]

Well about the scratching noises, I think it comes from poles sliding over eachother just like in MT14/15 thats a good idea...

IMHO I think that its best to stay with just the MT's and work on them from there...

Sorry Stefan,

Nice thought but there is no extra energy here. The vertical height traveled by the heavier weight is exactly half the vertical height traveled by the lighter weight if we leave things like friction out for the moment. (In fact it is a little less otherwise we would have equilibrium.) You need ALL of that energy to bring the lighter weight back to the starting position. It acts similar to a lever.

I was thinking about the wheights that are dropping. When they drop they pretty much transfer their kinetic energy on to the rods or just back on the wheel giving it a "push" in the oppesite direction of motion. I was wondering if we couldn't flip this "push" so that it somehow "pushes" in the same direction as the wheel is spinning in. This is a wild idea but can't we stick a gear in there somewhere hooked to one of this weights, when it drops it turns the gear which is then connected to the axel and thus contributes to the main motion being clockwise in this case.

Hi harti and all

...
I will post this evening a few of my simulations, so you can see, how they
all keel out.

Regards, Stefan.

I guess you did not do that, Harti.

By the way: How would you identify a self-runner in your simulation program?
Would you be able to recognize it?

Regarding 'keeling':
For a clockwise running wheel, the center of mass or of gravity is allowed to move in qadrant I and quadrant II (see attached drawing).
As long as the COM remains in these two quadrants there would be clockwise torque (which is good).
That is to say, that the COM is allowed to move into the lower half of the wheel, as long as it stays in the right half.

How must the COM move back up again?

It has to be moved up on the blue line (vertical middle line). In this way it will not create anti-clockwise torque and the wheel will keep moving along as it should.

Hi Gustav,
sorry, yes, I did not post it yes, cause I first have to export still the movies
and convert them.

Well, also I am stillworking on the ramp design and stillhave first to
try a few other things out with this.

I just made the ads ready now for the Dieter Merfurt Osmosis Water motor which
you can see at the left border.
It is also a working gravity motor, as there are weights shifted via the Osmosis effect.

For 10 US$ it is a nice kit and an excellent toy and present
for your kids...

Regards, Stefan.
