Georg, true.
Yet he describes the effect of a Foucault pendulum. It seems that at least the Soviets used that effect as some sort of reference.
The Soviet approach always involved a different approach related to gyroscopes, regarding that they try to maintain the alignment of the axle direction, but that approach then requires immense gear trains, on the order of a million to one speed increase, which necessarily always causes high component speeds and significant frictional losses. My approach is VERY different from that!
But indeed, what did he do...?

Where is this perpetual wheel? More bogus nonsense?
Ovyyus, it's a 'concerned' inventor who claims to know what he's talking about.

See!
But...
I have no interest in teaching anyone else how to build a Bessler Wheel, so don't ask!
Bummer.
There really is NO "magical" device that could violate the Law of Conservation of Energy! Sorry! The people who think they have created "magical" things that create energy out of nothing, are simply wrong!
At least that's something....
The devices I discuss here do SEEM to be able to create energy, but that is somewhat of an illusion, the energy is actually just energy that had previously existed in a different form, in this case, rotational energy of the Earth.
Ehm ok, what is needed then?
Some calculations of the Euler Equations, combined with the comments above, is all that is involved in how and why something like Bessler's Wheel could and did work, along with being able to calculate how fast it would rotate. It ain't really that complicated!
Hmm..ok. It would be nice to see at least a corrected table with more precise numbers than the observed values (like this:
[link]. Just to check our own calculated values..
I knew how to solve many such problems, but that was long ago and I seem to have forgotten much! Worse, it is commonly known that for the majority of practical cases, exact solutions to the Eigenvalue problem for distributed systems is not possible.
We all have the same problems! Bummer 2.
In this specific problem, many of the Eigenvalues happen to be very complex equations based on the Euler Equations, and there are a LOT of them. I have pretty much given up on my brain ever being again able to solve such problems mathematically.
Oh. Bummer 3
However, I really am convinced that if I should ever set up and solve the Euler differential equations (the Eigenvalue problem), I would have far better estimates for the "ideal" dimensions, and I might better know if my concept has potential or is garbage! I don't exactly see how a "team of experts" would advance the effort! All I see needed is a few hours of effort by someone who was REALLY good at math!
I only skimmed the text, and I currently I have no idea what he's talking about.
But give me some examples, and I'll see what I can do to instruct the computer to find trends.... I'm a patient guy. I often wait weeks or months for a result (which could even be worthless).
Another interesting thing keeps happening! Over a hundred different individuals have told me that I should start a "research project" by getting Grant money and then hiring a "team of experts" to do the development of this, and, surprisingly enough, they always tell me that THEY are the person to do this for me!
I extrapolate this to a "bummer 4".
I looked ... you're right, no wheel indeed.
And not perpetual either.
...Bummer.
