: Hi Ovvyus
: In a posted answer to Fletcher's pendulum question, you said that the pendulum pictures have "led some researchers to suppose that perhaps there is more to them and that Bessler might have been hinting at something a little more profound. Personally I (you) didn't think so."
: What information did you get that made you arrive at that opinion, in lieu of the fact that in paragraph three of "New Text Translation" Bessler's straightforward statement says that "pendula" are the motive force? Is there an instance somewhere where he states something else?

Hi Grim,
in one book of Bessler I have read, that the wheel is running without
the pendulum. So I asked my again and again, why has he put this
pendulum in the middle of his drawing. The answer is...
the pendulum is also in the wheel, and does his work, but not as
a pendulum. No one will see the solution as the solution,
a genius hiding.
Best regards
Georg
