Prize Money
All,
If you know of people or companies that offer prize money for a working wheel please post it here. Also if possible state there minimum requirements.

re: Prize Money
I suggest that you click the above search button, click advanced search then enter "prize" and select display results as "posts" and you will get 190 posts that contain the word "prize". Assuming you are using Microsoft Internet Browser you can right click on the subject link and select open in new window to open each post with the prize word highlighted. Then close that post and you can open the next one. In short order of a few hours you will work your way through all 190 Bessler forum posts that mention prize.
The Randi prize is probably the most well known but there are a couple others. I think one requires the device must be able to light a bank of light bulbs equal to a 1000 watts.
Have fun!

All,
My intention here is to gather all information on prize money available. Having this information in a single place to draw from will make it easier for the first person who has a working wheel. Think of this place as your first step that would be taken after you see your wheel running.

Don't forget the Nobel prize for physics.... ;)

re: Prize Money
I think the real "prize" in all of this will be the satisfaction, finally, each of us will have in knowing, with some degree of certainty, how Bessler managed to make his wheels work. There will, of course, be other rewards such as having our longstanding belief in the reality of his inventions vindicated and, perhaps, a nice little working model for our desk or coffee table.
Of course, if the world out there insisted on presenting me with a prize, should I be the very lucky one to resolve the mystery, then I would not be so rude as to refuse it. Many people and organizations have a need to give out prizes and I would not want to frustrate that need. But, I will not be the one looking for them...they will have to find me.

On 7/6/06, I found, in any overbalanced gravity wheel with rotation rate, ω, axle to CG distance d, and CG dip angle φ, the average vertical velocity of its drive weights is downward and given by:
Vaver = -2(√2)πdωcosφ
Vaver = -2(√2)πdωcosφ
re: Prize Money
The inventor of the wheel will need capital. Start up money to get his invention off the ground. Yes, it would be nice just to know that you are the inventor but what about the rest of the world. How are they ever going to know about without TV and radio spots. It takes money and lots of it to get the word out before the government can surpress it.

If you can make a car run off your wheel then maybe you can win this one.

Build an undeniably working gravity wheel and you will not have to pay a cent for advertising. You will get tons of free advertising, also known as publicity, as the various news services trip over each other to broadcast the results of your achievement.Yes, it would be nice just to know that you are the inventor but what about the rest of the world. How are they ever going to know about without TV and radio spots.
