Re: New insight into 4:1 ratios

Hey preocc, Making a GOOGOL:1 Reduction with Lego Gears https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QwXK4e4uqXY&feature=youtu.be (from some of the comments on the video) If this machine was turned on at the birth of the universe 14 billion years ago, that lego angel still wouldn't even have turned 1% of 1 deg...

No, I’m thinking you think you’re a time traveler when something is different about you and under those circumstances you might want to stay away from the keyboard until it passes.

Re: Spring on a lever

I am giving you gold. My idea here is pure gold. I guess many of us don’t like having the gold you’ve been going for wiped on us regularly. Flick it off and stick to discussions with reduced nonsense and you will probably get more decent engagement. If (s)not, then you and Soon could get a thread a...

Re: Can someone explain...

“Friction reduction is a sign of desperation.”

Now there’s a quote that should be pinned at the top of this forum. Lol

As you said earlier, Bessler’s mentioning of friction was more resistance to motion.

Re: MT44 & MT45 revisited

Hello Ed … So Ed what have you seen in these drawing? Regards Hi. It’s good to think about moving weights back into position when they take least effort to move, i.e. horizontally, but I see it being better to take advantage of a biased movement like in MT41’s side vertical levers. See how they are...

Re: Stork's bill modification

What you’ve been experiencing is bad acid disguised as gasoline that somebody tricked you into drinking. You should also avoid hard metal objects higher than head level.

Re: MT 24 Magic Pulsation

By your own (stupid) logic, Milkovic should own anything you’ve modified of his design.

Instead of effing First to File, you should start your own thread and eff yourself.

Do you live in the giant Uniroyal tire? Has your head been hammered again or have you been tricked into drinking petrol again?

Re: MT 24 Magic Pulsation

Preoccupied people would be more likely to grovel if you didn’t have so much uncomfortable damn gravel at your feet! And as a background process that won’t go dormant when required, I think you need to be restarted.

thx4, have you done any more with MT24?

Re: re: Happy birthday Ralph

Thank you all for your so-long wishes! As long as Windows 7 is usable I will be popping in occasionally. Since bidding my farewell I have sold off $3,245.00 worth of tooling, about 1/2 of what I paid for the lathe. Looking at approximately $150.00 to rid myself of the 15 years of bone yard material...

Re: re: The secret behind Bessler's wheel...

I don't know what Raj has discovered Raj doesn't know what Raj has or has not discovered. He did exactly as I predicted he would. He got a little positive reinforcement for his latest idea, and then it was off to the patent office. He doesn't care to vet any of his ideas prior to running to the pat...

re: The secret behind Bessler's wheel...

Raj, If you are going to head in this direction of the cranking pendulums, may I suggest at least using asymmetrical weighted pendulums, like in MT55 and others? That way the cranking force will be shifted more to the side. (See below from an old sim I did years ago) http://besslerwheel.com/forum/fi...
