Ken, remove the cross rods in the center. The diamond needs to flex as it rotates. That should give you a 270 to 360 rotation out of the wheel. Adjusting the gaps give slightly different numbers. I recommend a 0.005 to 0.009 gap on the Y axis.

I had a lot of trouble myself recreating this thing. Here are the exact specs. Large Wheels: Center Wheel: X=9.4 Y=-1.6 r=1.2 3 O'clock Wheel: X=11.8 Y=-1.596 r=1.2 6 O'clock Wheel: X=9.4 Y=-4.004 r=1.2 9 O'clock Wheel: X=7.0 Y=-1.596 r=1.2 12 O' clock Wheel: X=9.4 Y=0.804 r=1.2 Small Wheels: 3 O'cl...

Jim, I only have the demo so I can't save. To make the keeling motion perpetual place the rachet lock Under the 9 O'clock position. I have also used a spring and a rod keep it moving. I have yet to try a rope as your diagram shows. Coylo, Indeed the rachet and paw is the oldest trick in the book. Ch...

This actually the simplest idea I have come up with. If you remove the locking mechanism you will see my chainless design is a self starter but it won't go all the way around because the wheels are slipping and not maintaining their origional configuration. The latch stopped the sliping just at the ...

I don't know why I am even showing you this after all the doubters here. I should be patenting this. The only reason I am telling you how Bessler did it is because I think the world will end if I don't. I downloaded WM2D and after three days of fooling with it solved it for good this time. This lock...

Oblivious, Ken. I expected more out of you than to resort to an Ad Hominen. Attack the Idea not its' presenter. No I am not oblivious. I am altering my design to your earlier critique. The new design with springs would cause periodic disconnect with the central wheel through the rebounding weightles...

It actually has 12 clock wheels. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e38/Novuso/Bessler/BesslerSacred.gif There are two other clues to cracking Bessler's code which I left out mainly because I can't draw them. One additional clue is that the perimeter had warped boards where the weights hit them. As d...

ken_behrendt, Yes it is true that points A & B counteract each other. In fact if you draw a line from 9:00 O'clock to 3 O'clock you will get perfect vertical symmetry. However, that is not how this wheel gets its power from. As Bessler said in one account Leverage is applied at right angles to t...

I only just discovered Bessler a few days ago but I believe I have cracked his code and discovered what was inside his wheel. In order to crack Bessler's code I had to think like him and solve problems the way he would solve them. In many ways I had to become Bessler. In this thread I will attempt t...

I cracked the code of Bessler last night. I will post a new thread on what this old clockmaker was on to very shortly. Good old Bessler and his wheel will be resurected before your very eyes.

PS: On what basis have you come to the conclusion, "I've concluded Bessler was a fraud but I'm open to the .0001% possibility that he achieved some type of resonance or unknown momentum phenomena." Well this is the first I have ever even heard of Bessler. At first glance it seems fraudule...

I can't beleive you guys never heard this one before: Perpetual Motion When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is dropped, it always lands buttered side down. Therefore, if a slice of toast is strapped to a cat's back, buttered side up, and the animal is then dropped, the ...
