Ahh, now i understand! The inertia of the gyroscope varies depending on it's position in relation to the velocity given to it by the pendulum. And only possible outside of a fixed-centre system, just as nature demonstrates.

Nice theatre, can you do a detailed re-enactment of the fall from the windmill too?

Seriously though, it's an interesting design. And crucially, does the pivoting diminish the velocity of the balls or augment it? Regards,

That was brilliant! Thankyou Dwayne. A fascinating insight into the ups and downs of Eric's career despite the dodgy recording. I am guessing that Eric's gyro work inadvertently focused on avoiding the fixed rotational centre through gyroscopic procession. Centripetance then not being provided by th...

Hi, does anyone have a picture or diagram of this device? It was a wonderful makeshift concoction of a child's push-along fitted with a pendulum and gyroscope, which appeared to defy the laws of equal reaction by moving in one direction! I used to have the details but have lost them and can't seem t...

Interesting topic, i like the idea of a re-jig in the mindset of modern science. To my mind the laws of science are often connected more directly to finance than they are to absolute truth. If i am right to recall JC's book - Denis Papin was designing one of the first steam pumps to run the casade a...

Bilbo - keep up your experiments and let us know how it fairs. Putting ideas into reality is never easy. But even in a non-successful experiment, something is always learnt. And that knowledge earned yourself from experimentation is far more valuable than reading about laws and equations in a book.

The problem with storing momentum is that in accelerating the mass of the flywheel you have slowed the decent of the falling mass, so it no longer has enough energy/velocity to return itself to the starting height or 12 O'clock position. Don't worry about breaking Newton's laws, he isn't around to c...

The many spiral shaped growths/forms in nature are interesting in themselves.

Although you can manipulate inertial forces and increase rpm by decreasing the radius (as an ice-dancer demonstrates so nicely) the given velocity of a body itself remains the same

I don't want to interrupt a good argument... But has anyone ever wondered how the earth's weather systems convert the sun's energy into work? - moving thousands of tons of water up in the air and halfway around the globe, powerful pressure differences we can tap into with wind turbines & wave ma...

The link with Bessler is tenuous perhaps! I love to believe in power from a unique manipulation of mass/gravity/inertia, but i am equally intrigued by how he could have driven the wheel from an external energy source. Please PM me if you're interested in the Keely machine operation/design as that in...

Hi all, i used to post a bit here in 2007/8 but i had to take a break because the addiction of 'the search' became a dangerous thing! I've always been intrigued by the work of John Keely, because the claims of fraud that surround his work are very similar to those in the Bessler story. Some say that...

I think it's the internet that has brought about the biggest change (i have no idea if the creation of the internet was linked to the positions of the planets) and the sharing of knowledge that the internet makes possible could indeed be the catalyst for the rediscovery. I remember reading about Bes...

I guess everyone who has ever spent time building wheels with their own funds (and that must be a lot of people on here) would like the compensation that a patent might bring. But ultimately you cannot make money out of free energy. Our society runs on the principal of paying for consumables like pe...
