re: AP Wheel Geometry

The discussion of the angles is very interesting but there may be other factors not considered. I may be called out on this for referencing Alden Park and his "Interpretation of Bessler's Little Book Parable" but will the following excerpt apply: ...Near full strength power production for ...

re: Mt 31

Sorry James. That was several years ago and I kept nothing. It was one design that showed a lot of promise but was very complicated. In no way would I discourage anyone from working on this approach. Bessler indicated he would sell one design but had others that would work. Maybe this was one?

re: Mt 31

I too built this one years ago with no success so I modified it by making it a solid wood disc and mounted short shafts at the pivot points. On the shafts, I put small sprockets on bearings with chains driving larger center mounted sprockets mounted on a clutch bearing driving a main shaft one direc...

re: Perpetual Motion is Impossible

Jim's definition of perpetual motion is acceptable except (in my opinion) it leaves out an important statement which should be something like "or its design limits are exceeded". I state that only because any machine has design limits. But without such a statement, a gravity powered machin...

re: Has Jim Mitch Jumped the Shark?

Well Jim, I have never bashed you and never will. I will not vote on this. However, comments like: "And all of this simply because I have not fully disclosed my concept to you greedy ones who continually attack me. All this because none of you have even a hint of how a motion-wheel might work. ...

re: Put their money where their mouth is

I guess my point is that climate change has been deemed by our President to be a more serious threat than terrorism! That from a person who is the most heavily protected person in the world. If the climate change nations agree, they should all be agreeable to granting a free patent to anyone who pro...

Put their money where their mouth is

If President Obama and the International Community is so concerned about climate change, why don't they set up a commission to grant an international (no charge) patent for anyone who comes up with a verified design that will generate sustainable energy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with no carbon o...

re: Another claim to a working device...

Anyone paying attention to the Edward Skinner Gravity Motor comments on Energetic Forum Renewable Energy site? The last comments are most interesting. If this has been discussed before, I apologize as I did a quick search here and only found one topic that went nowhere.

re: 10 Year Anniversary, May 2005-May 2015, Its Been a Rough

John Collins and I are real close to the same age and started at about the same time. I first read about Bessler as a teenage and have been hooked ever since. Perhaps being diagnosed as OCD (mildly) has not helped.

I do not believe Bessler's Wheel is a simple OB Wheel.

re: How Difficult can it be?

Thanks for posting that video Ralph. It shows that we may need to "think outside the box" to solve this puzzle. All I can say is that we had better hurry, the President has now stated that climate change is a bigger threat than SIS to us and our military. Did he just up the ante on what it...

re: How to be ignored by the NSA/prism

Surfing the science forums, this topic was discussed. A simple text msg can be analyzed by NSA for words, etc very quickly and stored easily. Pictures, on the other hand are different and take a lot more bits to store. It would take more effort but the entire system can be overwhelmed if everyone wo...

re: Drawings by preoccupied

Sorry, I never save drawings. Actually, I went much farther with this design than described. At one point I used two different sized springs (a weaker one to hopefully accelerate the fall of the arm). Even if successful, I did not feel that any significant power could be achieved. I have no future p...

re: Drawings by preoccupied

Hi preoccupied. I very recently built one very similar to your Dec 29th drawing and it tried, really tried to turn!! However, there were significant differences. I will try to explain but putting into words always leads to misinterpretation. 1. Each arm had a "stop" on the left side 2. The...
