@TLW I'll be so bold as to say if Fletcher's hypothesis bears out, that it will prove to be the key. It will amount to being a gravity shadow in manner of speaking. It is the only means I have seems to potentially circumvent Newton's laws. @daxwc I would like it if you would care to elaborate as , t...

I too had a roll of that blue drainage hose from back when I was trying without success to construct billows for another brainstorm. Gone by way of so many parts and pieces when the dream faded for a while. The seesaw experiment is worth the few doocklets I'll blow to retool. Better perhaps to dupli...

Rather than a central, water filled membrane, be it round, star shaped etc, we use a peripheral reservoir, a water filled inner tube glued to the rear wheel of a fat tired bicycle or motorcycle, mounted between two uprights. Significant weights, if mounted properly, would depress/compress the inner ...

The object of this simple experiment was to demonstrate to myself that a weight could be parked on a body of liquid, on the ascending side of a closed wheel system and simultaneously have it's weight transferred across the fulcrum and spread out so that there was no positive or negative influence of...

Bag balanced no weights

A simple water displacement experiment: Here I have suspended a Ziplock bag filled with water in a steel basket suspended in the center so as to balance. I then added three, one pound weights to one side of the fulcrum. The water displaced by the three weights was displaced predominantly to the othe...

The Question in parts is ... 1. Can a bench top proof of principle [POP] experiment be designed & demonstrated to confirm whether or not a modified hydraulic press Prime Mover structure arrangement with a weight force at one end will increase internal fluid pressure ? Yes, but then you knew this...

Here is a drawing of the ship in a bathtub concept.

Hello Fletcher, This is an interesting thought experiment. It has taken me back to an experiment we tossed around in 2012: http://www.besslerwheel.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5373&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 With The Gates Foundation and others offering up Billions in alternative ener...

@poplianil I give you an "A" for presentation. Nice work. There may be room for an enhancement by connecting opposing weights with conrods. The solution (if one exists) is likely as simple as this. Thanks for sharing. My initial impression mirrors those who have posted before me especially...

I second FWG2 that it is great to see the forum back on track. Thanks Fletcher for posting this interesting concept. I do not agree with the idea that there most likely has to be a period where-in each mechanism experiences a period of coasting and that with numerous mechanisms there would always be...

Now that I've watched it four more times, I see the illusion of rotation starts with three balls. If we rotate the screen at the same speed so as to keep the white "circle" in one place in relation to the orange circle, for example; on one side centered on the equator, weight paths for a n...

Thanks for sharing this Scott. It was interesting to me to see that half the balls (4 of 8) were needed to begin to see rotation. I would like to see this demo with the orange circle rotating (CW and CCW) as well but I can't turn my iPad that fast without a turntable. Especially where it shows just ...

My thanks as always to Dwayne and Jim_Mich. Your math skills are appreciated, an asset to these discussions. John Collins, thanks to you for the quote: "I then stopped the wheel with much difficulty... " Jim_Mich, In addressing your original question, "Why only four pound weights?&quo...

It is also quite possible that these 4# weights were merely intended as a distraction. In that Bessler wouldn't allow the witnesses to feel the ends of the weights, it has been assumed here that perhaps they were bored through their length like beads on an abicus whose sole purpose was to produce th...
