re: search site for pictures?

thanks a lot rlortie and Jim, that will keep me busy for a while. Like sequeen I had joined this forum in 2003 too. Has it been that long already? A couple years ago I thought I gave up the quest for Bessler's secret, but here I am back again. I just ran through some calculations on the principle of...

search site for pictures?

Hi Scott. I was wondering if it is possible to search through the forum(s) for all uploaded pictures/diagrams/etc. I have a picture in my mind's eye of how Bessler's wheel worked that I don't believe I've seen anywhere, and would like to find if someone else has had this idea, or something similar t...

re: The greatest trickery of Bessler: a horizontal wheel til

if the tilted plane revolves so that the wheel is always facing a downward slope, "the cart behind the horse", then the wheel will never descend, it remains at the same height and it does not roll. If it rolls, eventually the cart will catch up to the horse and be at the lowest point with ...

re: Bessler Wheel drawings

Hello Jon,
the 12 pointed star is MT137 but what is the number of the other wheel? I can't find what you you refer to. For some reason MT137 also caught my eye - being the only drawing purely geometrical and not "operative"

re: Bessler Wheel drawings

thanks for the info MC. Regarding the pendulums on the sides of the wheel: two things intrigue me: 1. why is the small link at the axel curved? A straight link between the pivots of this connection would operate the same, no? Does this curvature suggest that this link operates in a reciprocating fas...

Bessler Wheel drawings

Hello Scott and others, I've looked at the drawings of Bessler's wheels countless times trying to understand them and only just realized that all the parts are numbered - I mean I've always seen that they are numbered - but it just occurred to me that there may be a list of descriptions for these pa...

re: If you answer this you have the solution

Seawasp- yes a wheel can roll uphill, but only less than one revolution until the eccentric cg reaches a balance point - this kind of wheel refuses to roll downhill! (I also believe that the Honda commercial is a computer animation) Vic- to get gravity to act non-conservatively you would have to con...

If you answer this you have the solution

Hello everyone, I have been away from the forum for a while, but see that the enigma of BesslerÂ’s wheel continues. Let us look at BesslerÂ’s wheel from a different reference point. Let us take the wheel off its fixed mounting at the axel and let the outer rim contact the ground. When the wheel spin...

re: Name searched

George,
How about "Spring Coupled Rotating Eccentric Wheel" mechanism or "SCREW" for short?

re: Members Only Forum?

Hi Scott, I voted no because I think the whole purpose of your website is to foster public dialog about Bessler/P.M. Even though you may get some wackos now and then, sometimes it's those wacky points of view that stimulate ideas. -Rob P.S. nor do Ithink that if I were to discover and post the solut...
