: Darren, you at one time said you design (this is going back over half a year ago) ran very slowly, just a few rpm, last posting you mentioned up to 50 rpm (on another board) is this the same design you've been working on for over a year?
I can't be sure because you're referrences to the comments I've made are extremely vague. I don't know which design I was working on when I made some comments a year and a half ago. Design I would have turned at roughly 10 RPM (the newer one will probably turn faster) and as I've said before Design I is more complicated and, in my opinion, not a Bessler wheel (although it does employ the same "principle" that Bessler's wheels did to make it work, but I'm sure it's a different design than his.)
: Please dont think I am attacking you but I just want to "see" things clearly. You said you never lied and any misdirection was unintentional, but quote in your first part of the six part series that about the interior being a simple arrangement of weights and levers, but also say your machine doesn't use that. You say you were using that as a generalistic reference, but when in fact it is obvious misdirection. Why?
It is *not* a fact that this is obvious misdirection, it is your *opinion* that it's an obvious misdirection.
I'm sorry you feel lied to or whatever, but here's the bottom line...
There is a "principle" (I don't know what else to call it) that allowed Bessler's wheel to work. I know this beyond a shadow of a doubt. I also know that this principle, this fundamental law of physics/mechanics can be built into a wheel or device in more than one way. OU *is* possible as long as you employ this principle and are careful about a few other things (such as centrifugal force and certain timing issues.) I now have three designs that employ this principle and the only thing I can imagine that I might have done to confuse you might have been to refer to the wrong design somewhere or get my designs mixed up when talking about them. If there's some misdirection in there then it's probably not intentional.
