Re: Why doesn't this PMM idea work?

Has anyone seen this before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBZl_fmED-k What I want to know is WHY doesn't this work? Here is the wikipedia page for Stevins and his proof of the law of equilibrium on an inclined plane. Scroll down to the section on Geometry, Physics and Trigonometry to see the pic...

re: Why doesn't this PMM idea work?

Yes, when I first saw your diagram I didn't think it had anything to do with the video I showed (and I don't know french language). But now I see that it does seem to want to work based on the same principles. But the "Free Energy Gravity Wheel" (as it is called in the video I posted a lin...

Why doesn't this PMM idea work?

Has anyone seen this before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBZl_fmED-k What I want to know is WHY doesn't this work? It obviously isn't a Bessler Wheel, but when I look at it, it seems it should keep rotating based on the fact that at each position of the wheel, the sum of the 4 force vectors woul...

Re: re: Can we all agree on one thing???

We are literally in the golden age of communication,and yet there is so little real communication going on.I think most people on this forum believe Bessler did it.I also think that every member thinks they have the answer at some point or another.But out of the thousands of ideas that we have coll...

Is that a fact? All his wheels were made completely out of wood (except for weights and springs)? No levers made out of iron or steel or brass or something?

Re: re: Newton's Third Law broken?

I don't see "reactionless"-stuff happening. Please explain (Marchello, or any other skeptic), how this video does not represent reactionless driven motion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVHg4BVGUhM Please skeptanalyze this video and explain how the "stiction' between the device and...

re: Newton's Third Law broken?

Oh and by the way, here are more Russian videos demonstrating this phenomena. I discovered that the name of what they are doing I believe is called инерциоии , which translated into English comes out as "I...

re: Newton's Third Law broken?

Well, I sincerely hope that someone seeing these videos will reproduce these Russian experiments in a way that is enough to convince people like Furcurequs. I would think that an air table would be good enough. Or something like what I got to play with in high school, which was a long squarish-in-cr...

This sort of behavior is typically due to the difference between static and dynamic friction. There is a stick and slip phenomenon sometimes called "stiction" when there are slow and fast movements in such devices. Donald Simanek speaks of it on a couple of his web pages: https://www.lhup...

Newton's Third Law broken?

Newton's 3rd law of motion says: For every action there is equal and opposite reaction. This I believe is supposed to make it impossible for a closed system to change its velocity with respect to the ground, for example (or something floating in free space cannot change average velocity without spew...

re: NEWS FLASH!! Fcdriver has a working wheel!!!!

The problem is, as shown in this thread on BW.com that I happened to stumble upon (but can't remember where it was) where someone had brought up all these old reports of people having come up with PMMs back in the beginning of the 20th century. And once they had done that, they immediately wanted to...

I think your missing the point entirely phaedrus. The fact that he was able to accomplish what no one else in history has been able to and most physicists say is impossible is an incredible feat and yes it is exactly the point that understanding how he was able to do this most likely would lead to ...

re: How much horse power?

Wow, is that ever disheartening! Here I had read people saying that if we could solve the Bessler Wheel problem, we could help with the global problem of producing clean energy. I was thinking you could power a small home with a large Bessler Wheel. But now here I find out the largest wheel he ever ...
