Professor Julius Sumner Miller is a very impressive lecturer .

In the Mechanics lectures you have linked to I get the feeling he has covered probably everything we need to know to produce a Bessler Wheel.

They are well worth the watch .

Its interesting to me that while he demonstrates very clearly what actually happens in real life experiments he doesn't seem to lose track of what the real situation actually is . For example in Mechanics #3 when discussing Newtons Second Law he states that "All over the Universe , F=MA " and then he qualifies the statement with "or so we think" as he proceeds with the demonstrations !

You can feel him thinking ! I wonder if he ever came across the Bessler story . It would have been nice to hear what he had to say about it .

.
Have had the solution to Bessler's Wheel approximately monthly for over 30 years ! But next month is "The One" !

I just watched them too Art, & enjoyed them - then I went & found Julius Sumner Miller's video on Newton's First Law about inertia & watched that too - I agree that they probably cover about everything we'd experience & need to know - they are certainly worth seeing if you haven't done so recently.

Thanks helloha.

i also enjoy them, basically most or all of these type of hands-on demo lectures are enjoyable and entertaining

for those who wants to watch the rest of the lectures firsthand, here's link to those youtube videos
