Thank you again Georg and everyone else in this field.. the blue drum machine is a real working bessler wheel with the inner weighted wheels acting as pendulums with the outer wheel acting to store potential energy.. Georg has given the answer again to everyone that this method is all about timing and consistent workload. a lot of methods can work once properly tuned. The real powerhouse machine, though, is high speed and driven by inertia via the 'sling effect'. Obviously this method is harder to design because the mass must be allowed to take a somewhat natural course in an egg/heart or cycloid shaped pattern. Various accelleration and decellerations points are hard to control and they change with speed. I am basically just repeating what Evert, Wuerth, and Georg have been saying for some time.. let me go build now.. Hey Georg I bet that nice machine with the belts makes one heck of a propulsion unit but its probably beed changed by now.. Thank you all.. Lets roll..
