: Unfortunately, you may be correct as for a good share of researchers in this field. Such is the human ego. I for one, hold that the sacred geometry that has been revealed to mankind, has in large part been wielded by egomaniacal sorts for less than noble purposes. I contend that any breakthrough to the masses with any repeatable anomaly such as an overbalancing wheel will be done by one who has been chosen to do so for their lack of ego and self pride.....for such things preclude one from "running the gauntlet" successfully in the first place. It can be hard be enthusiastic about such work, especially in light of human nature these days.......but it can be done, (I assume).
When you think about it, only about 3 people in the entire history of the world invented (or should I say 'successfully marketed') the wheel. Everybody else copied it from them.
I for one do not have a big ego, but I would enjoy having the bragging rights. ("In your face, Flanders!") Of course, the money would come in really handy too. (So what would a 'Bessler' wheel fetch nowadays? About 20 million?)
