re: John Collins Working Wheel Design

Have I stepped into some sort of domestic altercation? I thought that from my previous words that it was an opinion that I was voicing. Maybe it did sound a little too enthusiastic. But, John Collins is not just another poster... I don't think he would suddenly come out and start explaining his prog...

re: John Collins Working Wheel Design

Pinnochio? What's that about?

It's an emerging/ evolving claim and I think he has nailed it.

How is giving praise annoying?

John Collins Working Wheel Design

Instead of having posts made to all the different threads, I thought that a new one here where everyone would have access, would be the best way to handle it. Certainly, John Collins' emerging/ evolving/ impending?, claim of having not only a working design, but to have actually decoded Bessler's pl...

re: Pair of Pairs

Actually, I came to have respect for the tree as material for the building of warships, e.g. the USS Constitution. That ship had a hull made of live oak, 24" thick. More than one British cannonball bounced off of it due to its strength and toughness. History is very interesting, and the story o...

re: Pair of Pairs

Well, I guess John Collin's design didn't work...or we would have heard something from somebody by now.

Re: re: Pair of Pairs

I'm 95 per cent certain that I have the complete design but....... we've all been there before haven't we?

re: Another gravity wheel?

I was wondering where can we all read the "notes" on the "toy page" where Bessler said that there was something "special" on this page?
