Re: Besslers prime mover and its enabler.

If you recall Bessler spoke about some of the wheels in his book as possible runners if his special principal was used on them. Yes, probably the most "in-your-face" examples being MT 44 and MT48, and many others that get a special mention and are much more familiar to us that use forever...

Re: Besslers prime mover and its enabler.

It looks balanced. How can it work if it's balanced --------------Sam Hey Sam .. you could say that the rig "breathes" in and out - that is, the weights of different colours and masses are able to move about a bit - extending and contracting overall length slightly, and width - the spring...

Re: Besslers prime mover and its enabler.

Here's your basic design Rox .. I tidied it up a bit and simplified it so it runs well ( accuracy still 100 fps ) - note, I dumped the polygon slots structures you had made and replaced them with menu slotted joints ( from the side menu ) .. You should be able to drag over one side or another and co...

Re: PROCESS RESTART

Yes Trev .. thanks for that .. " that I and the world should see this principle , in itself so simple , and yet at the same time so deeply hidden , of everlasting motion " .. the principle of everlasting motion, which is so utterly simple, but also deeply hidden from mankind for so long .....

Re: PROCESS RESTART

It also helps us understand that when we have an amazingly brilliant idea that nobody has ever thought of, we're probably talking bollocks. Loads of people have had exactly the same thought, when they thought of the idea for the first time, and loads of people have realised the thought wasn't as am...

Re: Besslers prime mover and its enabler.

It's a good analogy RH .. that's why myself and others spend so much time on meaning of translations and witness reports etc .. we could go it alone with no thought or cognizance to what B. wrote or said, or any witness etc, and hope we can think that simple for ourselves - or, we could only look fo...

Re: Besslers prime mover and its enabler.

Sam, you and I are in agreement - it's embarrassingly simple - embarrassing because it's so hard to think that simple .. we know Karl was amazed no one else had built one like B's., before B , once Karl saw the inside workings and the penny dropped for him - so simple that others could easily build ...

Re: Besslers prime mover and its enabler.

It's simple really .. dance the two-step .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL7DgP_y9G0 1. build an overbalanced wheel from "weights" that always has a positive torque - so gravity force is always pulling it down on one side .. 2. arrange step 1. in such a manner that the PE of it's intern...

Agor .. Bill's wheel dimensions and performance page in particular would also be very worthwhile here imo ..

Re: Grease power

Jon .. imo you have 2 options .. 1. Learn a sim program like Algodoo and start simulating your ideas to see if there is any possibility of a "sim-world" advantage, as per your hypothesis - if so, share it with others to stress-test the the model and see if the advantage continues .. 2. Bui...

Re: Besslers prime mover and its enabler.

fwiw I also think they represent phases/shifts, as you do .. basically because it is such a simple, lacking in detail, drawing - of alternating dark and light coloured pie-shaped sectors, and not much else - approximately equal in area for each colour and set ( of white and black ) etc .. the fact t...

Re: Besslers prime mover and its enabler.
