: I have been meaning to say this for a while, but the claim by VITW to have a working wheel (of some description) moves me to say it now!

: The time will surely come (and may have arrived) when someone claims to have a working model, and we could save everyone a lot of time and hassle by setting up a simple verification procedure. Otherwise we just sit here debating whether or not it works and the inventor gets increasingly frustrated (sounds a bit like Bessler himself!)

: My proposal goes like this:

: If someone - VITW / Darren - gets something working, and I am sufficiently convinced that the person is not winding us up (pun intended!) THEN I will personally consider paying reasonable travel costs for a "suitable person" to travel to the inventor to check it out and report back to this group.

: The inventor does not have to divulge any secrets to me but will have to engage in some private correspondence with me - I will not be asking for details, just basic facts like "How long does it run?", "Can it drive anything else and what happens?" etc)

: "Suitable person" here means someone who would generally be regarded as having integrity by the rest of us and also sufficient background experience to say whether or not it is a gravity driven device etc.

: Top of my list is John Collins! Sorry I haven't asked you if you would be willing John!

: But you can all see the principle - if something does work, it will need to be verified before the wider world takes it seriously - and I have no desire to be reading debates on this board for months to come when we could answer most people's questions by a simple visit by a trusted person.

: "Voice in the wilderness" - you have nothing to lose and everything to gain from making available a video clip of the device being started and running. I will gladly host it FOC for you on a high bandwidth server if you want. You have already given away the design, so a video clip can only help prevent a lot of "what happens...?" sort of questions...

If I made a 'good one' I'd be open to verification, and I
can post video as well-count me in!

Viper


: Thanks
