The curved piece is the end of the iron pivots.

10. The cranks themselves, or pivots, screwed into the axle,

I agree they were real, and he probably tried them out in his own experiments. Given that they weren’t used in the demonstrations or the long test seems to indicate that he found they weren’t needed.

EDIT: I thought the attached animation might be of interest to show the range of motion, which I calculated to be about 11.5 degrees to the left and 17.5 degrees to the right. Click the image to see it properly, as it doesn't display correctly in the thumbnail view image. If the connecting rod was ...

Here’s the animation stewart posted

C is missing in the text: "No. 51. This is a pendulum invention, which is meant to maintain motion by means of oscillation. A is a pendulum with springs at the top, or pawls, which catch in a small ratchet wheel B, which is fastened to the axle of wheel E. D, shows the pendulum with pawls by i...

It’s been speculated Bessler might have used gear trains to achieve the quick acceleration his wheels had. The weights themselves don’t seem capable of that much start up torque unless he was using a lot more than we think. There are some MT drawings that have gear trains but the notes say the usua...

Is there an MT drawing that shows a rotational lever similar to the cart under the board?

A physical build has 100% accuracy. There's never been a false, or true positive PM. A simulation's result is a combination of the accuracy matched to the computing power you have. If you get a positive result, it's probably from a mismatch of those things (objects passing through others), or, the i...

If no one knows how a physical gravity wheel would look, then no one knows how to program a simulator for one.

Your latest idea isn’t going to bring the previous duck to life.
You keep trying variations on the same ‘dead duck’.
I don’t want to encourage you to keep trying this concept.
Most others may feel the same.

I think Sam is right. I think you better find a new ChatGPT; It's full of shit---------------Sam The only mechanical advantage observed in Bessler's wheel with the 3 pulleys is the advantage created by the different diameter of the wheel itself and the axle with the rope wrapped around it (pulley)....

I tried measuring the two pulleys. The one on the ceiling is half the diameter of the one on the floor.
