So you think it so simple that Karl didn’t even want to pay the original 4000 thalers to guarantee it.

I think that a 100,000 was about all that he was willing to pay for it. But, if you like dumping on it, go ahead--------------------Sam [/color] I am not trying to dump on anything Sam. His asking price was 100,000 thalers. Karl made a deal to look inside for 4000 thalers. JC’s books 4. The price o...

Copilot: The Thaler was a silver coin used throughout Europe for almost four hundred years. Its size and silver content varied among different states and periods. In the 18th century, a Thaler often contained about an ounce of silver. As of 2021, an ounce of silver is worth around $25 USD. So, if w...

Fletcher: To me he was quite deadpan and just said it was easy to understand and simple to build ( paraphrased ) .. I reconcile it this way - once he had seen the workings of the Merseburg runner he was underwhelmed, passe, not hugely impressed by the engineering components and complexity - iow's i...

Nice work savoniuspiral. Not sure if it will work but I have a design for a double spiral lift witch uses counter torqueing spirals. If I find the time I will post it on my thread. It might help you?

That is odd Roxaway59 . I don’t know. Never seen Agodoo run anything that complicated that smooth before.
Doesn’t logically make sense to me why it would speed up.

It’s too bad because it will just become hard to find again. Too bad we didn’t get rid of the fraud forum and just had a facts forum with Bill’s wheel dimensions and drawings that was closed for commenting on.

I suppose the minimal elevation gives this saying more credence; “Saskatchewan, Canada is so flat that on a clear day, if you stand on an apple crate and look east, you can see the back of your head.”

Indeed, my ancestors were also among the brave souls who sailed with Christopher Columbus. They were so paranoid about falling off the edge of the Earth, they wouldn’t even play a game of marbles on deck

Just wondering if you asked Bill for his permission and what he is up to?

Agor95: I do not want to disappoint; However I am after an interaction that is stronger that the coriolis effect Who said the force was weak? It looks weak because you’re not really harnessing earths rotation. If we consider the circumference of the Earth at the equator (which is roughly 40,075 kil...

Thanks for folding that back into the community Agor95.

Agor95: It is good to see the internal components of a self winding pocket watch.

In a way the mass tries to stay motionless while the frame [components] actively moves resulting in the winding process.

Ok, now modify it so the mass stays motionless while earth winds it.

Robinhood46 : Therefore, there must have been something additional that was responsible for giving the 5 to 1 ratio. That not only isn't in the drawing, it isn't in the writings either. It is in the writings. Wolf clearly states 4 to 1 and a reduction pulley which could be translated slightly wrong...

So, in the case of the 12-foot wheel (with a diameter of 12 feet) and a 0.5-foot axle (with a diameter of 0.5 feet), the ratio of their diameters is 24 to 1, which exceeds the desired 4 to 1 ratio.

Wolff is surrounded by mechanics and the court mechanic he isn’t going to get this wrong.
