Right---------------Sam

What can I say, I don't know what the economics were either. Maybe he's thinking that in 5 to 10 years he could double his money from 100k to 200k. But, it would probably have been a big gamble. I think that a 100,000 was about all that he was willing to pay for it. But, if you like dumping on it, g...

daxwc,
100,000 oz. of silver equals $2,600,000 I admire your notion of a good deal. I know, you are suggesting that it was a piece of stuff but, maybe he just didn't want to pay that much for it--------------Sam

SHADOW, That's good work! It really is.

SHADOW,
Those parts look really precision. Do you have a milling machine--------------Sam

For the most part it was a collection of unworkable devices. I referred to it a lot, I think it helped----------Sam

Follow up, I moved the Ring & Rollers in close to the center of the wheel, as close together as I could get them,(another improvement). What's happening is; In the prosses of lifting the sliding weights, the rollers tend to roll back wards for part of the time and, then forwards for an equal len...

Update,
Finished the wheel; still not going. However, I think there is a way to fix it. I painted it blue and yellow for Ukraine------------------------Sam

FWEIW, I've worked with pendulums a lot and, I found a good way to reset them. About the best that can be achieved is having them drive for 90 degrees and reset in 90 degrees. But, to do that they have to reset twice as fast as the wheel is turning. That's the killer / the acceleration of it. Veloci...

Fletcher / Graham,
Sorry, I missed any movement of any thing-----------------Sam

Completed the sliders. They are common kitchen drawer sliders, modified to fit onto the wheel. Stroke is two inches, with a max radius of 24 inches when extended. The weights, driving weights, are one pound each. Next the storks bills / reversing links or inverters. They are needed to invert the dow...

It looks balanced. How can it work if it's balanced--------------Sam

Graham,
You have no clue what I'm talking about. Not a godam clue. It's like talking to a post--------------Sam

You're right, it probably can't be done--------------Sam

Graham, To offer something a bit more constructive. Looks like now; the weights should move in a near prefect circle, offset upwards towards 12:00 but, shifted in the direction of rotation by about 45 degrees. Is there any way you could you simulate this? I'm fairly certain that is how Bessler's whe...

Right-----------cows can't fart, dogs can't spit and you can only rape a virgin once--------------Sam
