: If you had access to my mail folder of emails received since 1997, you would find that I had filed 127 emails claiming to have "got it" - and I mean "got it" with the same certainty that Darren has. I'm not saying that he is wrong, it's just that you get to be a bit sceptical after so many claimants. That is why I always recommend making a working model before issuing such claims. I too have been just as guilty as the others in making such claims. So far there has not been a single case that has even slightly convinced me that they are on the right track. But each is different and ingenious in their way.
John,
No beating around the bush... I'm just about to bust... would you be willing to work with me on my current design?
After all the work you've put into your Bessler research I can't imagine anyone more deserving or more knowledgable to be involved with a true solution to OU... and a possible solution to Bessler's wheel.
You definitely sound intelligent enough to understand the theory behind it's workings, the OverUnity Principle, and I'm sure you might even be able to offer suggestions for improving the mechanics. I'm just struggling a little working all alone on this and I think that I'm going to have to ultimately trust someone sooner or later.
I would request that an NDA be signed... that we document the structure of our collaborative relationship (*not* the technical details of the device or design) on this board so that others are aware of this relationship and know we are working together.
It would mean that after years of searching you'd finally see an unbalanced wheel... but would be unable to spill any detail to a single soul...
It might be tempting to develop it yourself and sell it out from under me...
And after putting in so much research over the years it might be frustrating to not be the one to discover the answer...
What are your feelings? What do you think about this idea? I don't mean to imply anything about your character here, but other than your polite, intelligent, and very helpful posts to this list I really don't know you at all so... give it some *serious* thought... maybe you don't have the time with your book and other things... maybe you've become overly skeptical... maybe you'd be too tempted to go public if it turned out to be real... maybe you think it should be immediately released to the world for free...
Be honest with yourself and me and everyone on this list... as though you are about to see the actual insides of a real Bessler wheel and then you'll have to keep it secret... I'm dead serious about this... this is *not* just claim #128.
Thanks :-)
Darren
