Okay...how about this. What if B's wheel ran on water? It seems there are a few references to water. Snow falls, water falls. I've read before he got his idea from looking at duckweed-a type of plant that grows in the water. He also mentioned his wheel ran without other wheels, weight, springs or wind. I thought that upon first few viewings of one of his drawings years ago, it looked like a stopper or cork was put in the collum that supports the machine. Perhaps a clue? Alot can be done with the movement of water. A lot more than just weights. It can BE weight, it can also make weights seemingly weightless. Although the steam engine was not yet invented-steam power was well known. In fact there is a type of steam engine, a whirling ball, that comes from ancient rome. I believe in one of the drawings there is a reference to a top, isn't there? How about just playing around with water pressure?
Some things still seem inconsistent to me. One of his wheels had to have a great push to be started. Another one had to have the shaft tied down to keep it from running. Most likely tied back up again to stop it. These two machines seem completly opposed to each other. It seems more than obvious the one that had to be tied down was pre wound some how. But, if it did run on steam, maybe this was just an easy way to do accomplish something. Was this version one of the first wheels? Lastly there was his reference to chemical processes. The alchemetical reference. All things are made from mercury, sulfur, and salt. Also-not sure about sulfur, but the other two exist in water.
