re: A Sabu work of art.

Hi agor...I kinda want to reply to your last post but I can't make much sense of it I'm afraid. Don't know if I'm being applauded or scalded & what are these demo's that you mention please? You ask one obvious question though & I can answer it simply enough....I don't have any non-Bessler re...

A Sabu work of art.

Not that it generates much interest amongst the vaste majority here but if only to save the link for my own future reference...a beautiful Sabu tri-lobed disc that one can view from different angles, zoom in/out etc.

re: I am back.

May I ask that reason why you feel 99% of the builds on here fail?
Does it really matter as such if 99% of failures are due to one main reason when failure is 100% regardless of any reason?
Have you perhaps witnessed here at BW.com a 1% better way to fail?

re: Friction or Fiction?

Thank you Agor...hopefully i'll get the opportunity/need to check that out in the near future. Likewise Silvertiger...I'd previously watched this plus other oddities like the fella spiralling a heavy weight up/over/around his head. Whilst they intrigue me & suggest some link perhaps to the motio...

re: Friction or Fiction?

Thank you Agor.... Around a year back now I mentioned that I'd discovered that a close neighbour was the Senior Lecturer in Engineering/Computer Science at Bristol Uni here in the UK...a fella who previously developed graphics software for NASA no less. It's taken all this time of patiently waiting ...

re: The Assumptive Reasoning Fallacy of the Bessler Wheel?

Nice enough test/analogy for how it goes but the problem rests here.... "So I told them no...that it doesn't fly. It was only THEN they began to think outside the box" There's nobody here to tell anyone NO. "I told to some of them that I never said that it could fly. But to THEM, in T...

re: Friction or Fiction?

Thank you Agor... Justification first if I may....Bessler tells us that his wheel, that thing that we all know of only too well, is being driven by a process within. A motion that is moving in accordance to some Principle of Perpetual Motion, deriving its power to drive said wheel by way of some for...

re: Friction or Fiction?

One last attempt to pass on an observation, perhaps hitherto unobserved... Take a regular Tetrahedron....six edges, for faces, four vertices & seven axes. The seven axes are split into four medians (one through each vertice & face centre) & three bimedians (one through each edge midpoint...

Air Time

Not the stuff Roller Coaster enthusiasts crave but kinda similar in a way I s'pose. If I were to place a wheel on an axle, designed such that it holds three balls within, each weight x...and such that when set into motion around its axle this wheel juggles those three balls, exactly as any juggler w...

re: Friction or Fiction?

Thank you for the subtle Glastonbury flavouring Agor.....I really could tell some tale of my 22yrs here in relation to this Quest if only I could dare to actually believe it myself. It would certainly be deemed off-topic here...& rightly so I s'pose. That said, I had to Quest...& I believe t...

Apologies yet again for going awol...usual health issues. As I see the matter it is abundantly clear & obvious that PM is impossible & that it is therefore also abundantly clear & obvious that it can only become possible if the way I see it changes. What I attempt to convey to you here i...

Thank you all for your thoughts...I'll address C/C as the best way of addressing all. C/C...As stated, I was trying to keep this thread to a single, simple question...to which there is, I'm sure you'll agree, an apparently simple answer. I had no intention, again as stated, to delve into the how's/w...

re: Friction or Fiction?

Over the years there's often been a street artist performing with Baoding balls outside St John's church on Glastonbury High Street. Skilful & fascinating as it is, it isn't the motion, the very particular motion, that I refer to of course....though hats off, better shoes perhaps, to one guy in ...

Thank you ec1...the ideal reply & I'm immediately tempted to move on but I'll hold fire for a wee while to see if others might confirm/dispute your evaluation.

Friction or Fiction?

I'm quite sure that there are many here tired of me pushing my balls in their face...so to speak. So, although it's the same old balls as ever from me, I'll limit it to a single question. As usual, I ask you to imagine, though better by far take, four spheres....glue them into two sets of two. Hold ...
