Self-Runner // Gary Wesley's Motor // Torbay

[Lynxis]

Torbay's work has caught my interest, but there are a lot of vague issues underlying it all.
As such I'm looking for "simple solutions"...

See, I'm curious what those "vague issues" might be for an expert watchmaker like you?

Building anything can be extremely time-consuming, assuming one understands clearly
what one is attempting to design!!!

Take the SMOT device for example... that SMOT was pursued with an amazing amount
of "build-time" and attempt by many -- but no-one succeeded in building a closed-loop
smot.

I know all to well from bench-work how time-consuming building things can be

It boggles the mind -- they are speaking as if Gary Wesley's device is around as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Harvard and MIT people had been impressed and it had been available from the US to Japan. What is this all about?

Seems you're coming across some of what I've come across searching the net.
Plus is goes back to an era of 1879 -- and I do believe that that article published in
"Harper's New Monthly Magazine - March 1879 pages 601-605."
Is quite an honest article...

The entire Wesley issue is something that has perhaps been long-forgotten because of the
times back then... Plus there are some patents around too, and back then, it seems the patent
office was more strict too.

It seems, Gary was able to demonstrate this to people back then... even investors entered
the scene to the point of making it all fall apart.

This has to be gotten to the bottom of. What shall we do?

Seems the simple "tidder todder" device being shown in various documents would
be the very easiest to attempt understanding and building"...

and if It can be proven to work... then one could develop this further to
produce motive force to drive a wheel.

There are some experimental setups that one should probably do as described
to understand the priniciples -- and then on to the perpetual version of that
tidder todder. (which is my nickname for that contraption)...
But that darn tidder-todder (if it can be made to work) // would actually be a form
of perpetual-pendulum...

Lucky // I have 4 young sons around here // tons of LEGOS // and youthful
energy which I can perhaps encourage to attempt to build it...
I might yet myself venture to build the simple setup...
