Nice work savoniuspiral. Not sure if it will work but I have a design for a double spiral lift witch uses counter torqueing spirals. If I find the time I will post it on my thread. It might help you?

That is odd Roxaway59 . I don’t know. Never seen Agodoo run anything that complicated that smooth before.
Doesn’t logically make sense to me why it would speed up.

It’s too bad because it will just become hard to find again. Too bad we didn’t get rid of the fraud forum and just had a facts forum with Bill’s wheel dimensions and drawings that was closed for commenting on.

I suppose the minimal elevation gives this saying more credence; “Saskatchewan, Canada is so flat that on a clear day, if you stand on an apple crate and look east, you can see the back of your head.”

Indeed, my ancestors were also among the brave souls who sailed with Christopher Columbus. They were so paranoid about falling off the edge of the Earth, they wouldn’t even play a game of marbles on deck

Just wondering if you asked Bill for his permission and what he is up to?

Agor95: I do not want to disappoint; However I am after an interaction that is stronger that the coriolis effect Who said the force was weak? It looks weak because you’re not really harnessing earths rotation. If we consider the circumference of the Earth at the equator (which is roughly 40,075 kil...

Thanks for folding that back into the community Agor95.

Agor95: It is good to see the internal components of a self winding pocket watch.

In a way the mass tries to stay motionless while the frame [components] actively moves resulting in the winding process.

Ok, now modify it so the mass stays motionless while earth winds it.

Robinhood46 : Therefore, there must have been something additional that was responsible for giving the 5 to 1 ratio. That not only isn't in the drawing, it isn't in the writings either. It is in the writings. Wolf clearly states 4 to 1 and a reduction pulley which could be translated slightly wrong...

So, in the case of the 12-foot wheel (with a diameter of 12 feet) and a 0.5-foot axle (with a diameter of 0.5 feet), the ratio of their diameters is 24 to 1, which exceeds the desired 4 to 1 ratio.

Wolff is surrounded by mechanics and the court mechanic he isn’t going to get this wrong.

Robinhood46; I think attaching a rope to a pulley reduced more than 4 times, would correspond better with a 5 to 1 ratio being responsible for the slow lifting, than a block and tackle that nobody mentions, or additional pulleys that weren't mentioned either. Maybe I don’t understand your argument ...

Bessler's decision to exclude the block and tackle from his drawings can be attributed to savvy salesmanship. By leaving it out, usually linked with boosting mechanical advantage, he wanted to show that his perpetual motion wheel had its own strength and power, no extra help needed.

JC: At the moment it can lift a weight of sixty pounds, but to achieve this the pulley had to be reduced more than four times, making the lifting quite slow. This sounds exactly like a block and tackle as at 4 times is the classic double. Robinhood46: 3) The ratio between the wheel and the axle, wi...

Robinhood46: The only thing i find interesting in the debate, is where does the 1 to 5 ratio mentioned in the text come from? because i really can't see it coming from the different pulley diameters. [/color] For me there is only two possibilities: 1) A block and tackle was used even though the pic...
