Have you noticed the parallelogram of hammer toy C is shorter than toy D, and they seem to correspond with the lengths of the segments of the scissors - storks bill - toy, the longer portion being at the bottom and the shorter being upward? Also the slope of the vertical part of the parallelograms s...

It is said our moon is drifting away. Does that mean all the moons of all the planets are drifting away? Are the moons of Mars, a planet without tides, drifting away?

John, Were Wolff's statements concerning his eyewitness account of the wheel written in English or were they in old German and translated? Who was Wolff reporting to about the wheel, and did Bessler know of this report? Was there any reaction from Bessler when he found someone had glimpsed a part of...

If you think about the earth, sun, and moon, their movements and the ocean tides caused by those movements, you will see gravity does provide a perpetual source of power. All we have to do is figure out how to replace the earth with an axle, the moon and sun with weights at the rim, and the water wi...

Ovyyus, Thank you for sharing with us your work on MT. I agree the translations are of great importance. It is very interesting that Bessler indicates the scissors device is in the wheel. That, combined with the translation of the writing on the toy page provided by John Collins, will make me take a...

These questions are directed mainly to John Collins, and I would also like to hear from anyone with ideas or comments: John, Do you think Bessler developed the principle first and then applied that to a "wheel", or was he planning from the get-go to have a wheel-type device. His Poem has s...

Great job, Stewart. I believe you are correct. The A/B toy is not a Jacobs Ladder. It appears that all the toys are showing a change in direction of force/movement. In his book John Collins says that Bessler suggested he (Bessler) found the secret while constructing an organ. Below is a link to a si...

How many images are there in MT that are duplicated? For example: the first drawings on my copy show 1 and 2 and in the upper right hand corner is writing in a squared off area. The next page seems to again show 1 and 2, but the squared off area is gone. Also on the first page with the squared off a...

John & Patrick,

Have you seen those words : "creuze, zuge" together or singularly, anywhere else in Bessler's writings - perhaps somewhere in Maschinen Tractate?
