WM 2d Question

Can you lock and unlock a joint connection during various times in a timeline?
I'm trying to get a joint to lock and release during movement can it be done?

re: To all of you who may have a working wheel design-I thin

Grav nice to hear your on the right track it; exactly theory to what JB was doing. I've already had the "got it" moment with what your onto, I've yet to get all the parts behaving nicely together but I do know what's going on. Good luck and if necessary you may ask me for further info if y...

re: Tesla is misunderstood

Too bad Tesla was way ahead of his generation's mind set. It was said of him that he could picture a complete device in his head and know or not that it would work before he began to build it! He, and Nathan Stubblefield are two lost to the ages of almost obscurity, There is hardly any textbooks tha...

Re: re: Bessler Wheel Math

Jonathan, Very well writen paper, but I think your coefficient numbers are a little high. I would assume that the bearings were lubricated. My trusty Machinery's Handbook has 3 pages on bearing friction, 11 pages on journal bearings (like Bessler's?), 14 pages on ball bearings, and 5 pages on beari...

re: Apologia Poetica Translation

Bessler's biblical references are taken as a attempt to marry religion/God to his device, and the passages referred to are an attempt leave hints as to the workings as similies to various parts interacting. Little children=his smaller parts of the internals of his special bearings and their interact...

Re: re: Apologia Poetica Translation

As mentioned before, it his highly unlikely that anyone can use this poem as a blueprint for constructing a PM wheel. The poem was a recap of what his book explains so in a way it highlighted the relevant text. Love of money=evil: - the desire to be rich caused a secret to be hidden far too long. A...

re: Interesting Science Links (OT) ;)

The link about the bricks is of interest since from bible times the ability of disease to infect clay objects was told to the Isrealites by God. Both homes and clay vessels. Leviticus 14:33-57

Off topic- Efficient Combustion

Sorry for the off topic post but I found this newsworthy, a story about a simple but better design for engine combustion. Found at popular science. I like his out of the mainstream idea. Props for those thinking out of the norm, including this board! http://www.popsci.com/popsci/futurecar/article/0,...

Re: re: Orffyre :- Orffyreus

I agree that the 2MB is not great, but I got a message not long ago from the hotmail staff saying that hotmail was upgrading to 250MB, for free. 250MB ?? It would take me 24 hours to download that much. http://my.voyager.net/~jrrandall/Jim_Mich.gif Spymac account gives you a gig free email account.
