Is there anyone who performed the Bessler whell?

[Clarkie]

Ralph,
Regarding plastic, thats the day job, www.coralfoam.com or www.im-pak.com, my email address is pclarke@im-pak.com, re patents I bring over 20 years of international experience and far as Bessler is concerned I'm a true believer.

Anything I can do to help any genuine progress I will do, just ask.

As far as investment is concerned, as soon as a working wheel can be demostrated then "ANY" amount of money will be made available, I have connections and so have others, a minor problem.

Picking the right route forward is going to be the biggest challenge.

Pete.

I am truly amazed at your ability of thought and how you can process the information you receive.

Not only are you able to understand physics, but also the Bessler Wheel.
You also seem to be able to understand the basic ideas weather they are mistakes or real progress.
You have made this forum an adventure for me.
Thanks for understanding and giving the benefit of the doubt.

I ASSURE YOU gentlemen,it will not be long now! jim kelly

[ovyyus]

James, it sounds like you are both well and decided.

[rlortie]

To my knowledge, James (Jim) and I are both building versions of his basic design.

I can only post for myself and then only write what I feel is not confidential between Jim and I.

My version or model is well into construction, To be safe I would estimate that I am 40% complete.

THe last 60% is going to take some fine tweaking of this and adjusting of that. and will definitely require more time than the first 40%.

I will be going back to the hospital on the 20th, so I can not give an estimate on any time frame.

RALPH! Please take care of yourself! You have no idea what god has in store for you. Wouldn't it be great, in a few years to look down on this earth and say;" WE did that with God's help? jim kelly

[james kelly]

IT HAS RAINED every day since I got out from the hospital.I still have to go there every other day for blood work. thanks! guys. jim kelly

[rlortie]

Jim, your statement, "look down in a few years" I hope you are correct as I feel like it could be few months.

Had an investor try to talk me into investing in a local development, he said that it would be a long term high return.

I said "look buddy, with my heart problems, I don't even invest in green bananas"

... chortle.. chortle.. green banana's haha - good reply Ralph. Perhaps you guys could confer with JB as well & see what he has to say when you eventually get there. Not to soon I hope :)

Mr. Kelly and Ralph...All the best to ya in your endeavors. At this point in time, I am rather skeptical and hope you guys are not putting all of your eggs in one basket. I really appreciate your input, Ralph. Have looked down that path and that is why I am a bit skeptical...PLEASE, prove me wrong!

Mr. Kelly...did you know "big daddy" personally? How about "Cha Cha" (Shirley)? My step father had some associations with drag racers as an auto body expert...not really sure who all he worked with. His name was Robert "Bob" Steele from Texas. If anybody has a good sense of balance within a mechanical system, sir...you would! You and Ralph could make a very successful pairing. Keep it up.

Steve,
I thank you for your input.

Speaking for myself I will say that at present my mind weighs heavy on Jim's concept and that I am strongly biased toward it.

I also have my own and other members concepts to consider, therefore I have not put all my eggs in one basket. I am the type that counts how many Easter eggs I hide and will not cease pushing the hunters until all are found.

Jim is reportedly building a backup model of different materials than mine and of different size. When both are complete we will compare functions and improve or augment as seen required.

All my present thoughts are very optimistic in a positive nature. The glass is not half full or half empty. You just have a bigger glass than required for the amount of water. NO pessimists allowed here.

Ralph is a fine man. THe best That I have talked to in a long time. Yes RALPH it does seem like the end of the road at times, but god always has more for me to do. paul always had a thorn in his side. I am determined to build this large one. in the same manner that always worked before. go with god....... jim kelly

[james kelly]

Hi Jim Kelly while you were in the hospital I corresponded with Ralph on the board and I ask him if you were once known as the snake.I believe now that Don Prudhomme who raced a plymouth sponsered in part by the army was known as the snake.I 'd want to apoligise for the mistake.Wishing you well Joel Wright.

[Smithy]

Hey James,
Very interesting to hear of your association with drag racing, I'm crew chief for a Top Fuel dragster team here in Australia, now these things sure do produce some excess power, small world eh?!!
Cheers,
Smithy.
