MR. BESSLERS WONDERFUL WHEEL

[winkle]

what i was saing was i don't have a working model of a line of water wheels running down the side of a mountain......................a closed mind is a beautiful thing.......................an open mind is even more beautiful

Why would a man with a working wheel need to come up with such ridiculous, alternative ideas?

EDIT: Sheeeeeeeesh, I've started a 5th page.
Does this thread really deserve all this attention?

It did when it started, now I would say it's a little off topic.

you really think the water wheels wouldn't work........40 foot water wheels with troughs not paddles......each one delivering it's water from the bottom trough to the top trough of the one below through a pipe or trough.......20 or 50 of these could produce a lot of enegry.....manitos wheel without having to lift enything ?

I have an interesting idea to avoid inane comments made. Please see my post in the off topic forum. Called modifying the board.

Congratulations!
I think you've just re-invented hydro-electricity.

WOO HOOO!

I emailed you twice that I live within a few miles of you and would like to get together and chat about your wheel. I never got a reply. Is that because you don't have a working wheel or good idea to share?

let me try a different way lets use MT133 rotate the picture 90 degrees to the right what we are looking at is this a circle with two saw cuts from top to the bottom leaving just enough on each side of the axel for strip to be left in the middle not showen in the picture he did after all hide the secert in plain sight there is a henge attachment at the top on the left side half circle there is a henge attachment at the bottom of the right side half circle there is a cross rod running through the axel with a spring attached to each end this rod does not move in the axel the other end of each spring is attached to the mid point of each half circle as i said with MT133 turned 1/4 to the right the bottom of the half circle on the left side will fall away from the axel causing the wheel to go out of balance as it does this it will compress the spring being out of balance enough to cause the bottom of that half circle to rotate up to past the one o'clock position at that point the spring will pull it back in at the same time the other half circle will pop out on the other side this will keep repeating this will turn counter clock wise if you look closely it seems like one cog is missing from the wheel but if you count them it's not missing what it is showing is that half circle side of the wheel has moved away from the axel throughing it out of balance this is a one direction wheel i say again MT134 with saw cuts made on that diamond shape and compression springs on those rods with the leavers attached to them this is a two direction wheel

Your assumption of what will happen at that position is incorrect. The left side will not fall away from the axle, it will fall towards it.

i have built it i know what will happen and you are wrong

[Ed]

According to your description it will not, but whatever you want to think.

You've got a working wheel. Everybody's got a working wheel!

just suppose the wheel is in a counter clock wise motion .......................in about a heart beat that side is going to fall away.............................with a second wheel on same axel advanced ninety degrees one will pop out every 1/4 turn.........................................i understand looking at that picture in stop motion it won't fall
