Of course Romans used pulleys. That is old tech. I also believe pulleys where possibly use in Bessler's wheel. Not in the complex way but the standard single pulley way. Use your concept and see what you can do with it. It is not what I am doing. Like I have said till I am blue in the face. I am not doing what you are doing. I have different roads. Next week I am taking away from armoring and finishing one of my simple wheel that is based off the wheel of death.
The only thing I would suggest you look out for is when using complex pulleys that you have the room to make them function.
You have never shown any work and I know what you are working on ;-)
It is interesting, for all you have said about having 26 years of engineering experience, yet you discount the gains that using pulleys allow for.
I am not sure how you consider the simple diagram I posted from howstuffworks.com as being complex. I think they explained it quite well.
As with PBS, they did show where using multiple pulleys allows for work to be done when using pulleys in your simple fashion won't work.
And since you have never contributed to any work I have done, why do you try to discount any understanding that could lead to a realization of Bessler's work ?
Bessler did use pulleys. Everyone in here knows this except for you. Your quote, " I also believe pulleys where possibly use".
And what else you had to say about it, "That is old tech". Bessler's wheels are "old tech". You know, early 1700's.
Most of what you are showing is still a trade off. I have had a lot of experience with trade offs. I don't use them anymore. You say I have never shown. LOL I have to much to post so here are the links.

The funny part is, I don't know why you keep saying such.
PS Your actions are what got you banned. I could only give you a single red dot per name. You have many many names that you have gave me red dots, but I am sill in the green. Respect must be earned.
