Have you looked theere?

No ;)

P.S. I am addicted to paradox.

Do you think Aldo Costa will ever receive any credit for his work? Just search on YouTube
Aldo Costa perpetual motion
And all you need to do is copy and paste. While he was in a documentary, the documentary
was not specifically about what he built. People say it's the way the Sun shines on it or which way
the wind is blowing. I thought air pressure would stop it while thermodynamics doesn't allow for it.
And now we have a paradox for agor95 to enjoy. I think he will enjoy this one. How can we
reconcile it? Etude Francais? Je ne sais pas. Mon l'ecole n'est pas tres bien. :(
Of course this forum is about Bessler, right? Elaborate hoax or....?

After seeing the failed MTs utilizing what I call ball-tracks - freely rolling weights, etc. I wrote them all off as nothing to be gained from them.

Despite numerous mechanical approaches with many failures, I find going back to explore them reasonable since I never gave them a second thought.

Doing some deep research, I chanced upon a Dutch mathematician named Frans van Schooten.

His parabola mechanism for drawing can be found here: https://www.fransvanschooten.nl/fvs_java.htm

Notice the top mechanism has this neat drawing which I've included. I like the 5 loops which overlap each other in mobius fashion.

Also, I see 2 hammer toys in the parallelogram as well as a bow and arrow (try out the applets to see what I mean.)

I've been trying to wrap my head around what could happen with balls in the tracks and if this could create a permanent imbalance. Each ball has a constant path it will take, but it will be interwoven with the other balls on their tracks so that it will take several revolutions until one ball visits each loop.

I have a really hard time getting my head around these movements, but it's a rabbit hole I wish to explore because I'm sure others stayed away because they couldn't think that hard nor grasp it.

No promises - only speculations.
