Interpretation (first suggestion) of Besslers Apologia, by Øystein Rustad 03.01.2003
Source: Perpetual Motion: An Ancient Mystery Solved?
John Collins, Permo Publications, 1997.
GREED IS AN EVIL ROOT,
AND WILL NOT MAKE YOU DISCOVER PERPETUAL MOTION,
ONLY GENUINE INTEREST WILL.
BECAUSE YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE MANY ERRORS,
AND GET MANY BLOWS TO ACHIEVE IT.
ONE WEIGHT "RELAXES",
WHILE ONE MOVES WITH THE VELOCITY OF THE RIM.
ONE WEIGHT CAN TELL WHAT IS COMING,
AND COMMUNICATE THIS TO ANOTHER WEIGHT.
WHEN THE WEIGHTS ARE FORCED AGAINST GRAVITY,
THEY MOVE SLOW.
FIRST THE WEIGHTS MOVE SLOW AND "CLUMSY",
THEN A SPRING STRETCHES,
AND THE WEIGHTS WANT TO MOVE AHEAD.
THEN THEY ARE ACCELERATED.
AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN SWUNG SILENTLY AHEAD,
THE WEIGHTS IMPACT.
AFTER THE WEIGHTS MOVE SILENTLY WITH THE WHEEL,
THE WEIGHTS ARE PULLED OUT ON ITS ARM,
AND ARE STOPPED AT THE END OF THE ARM.
