Overbalanced wheels, a waste of time ?

Wheeler...

Thanks for the image.

Nothing much can be determined from it except that, apparently, the teeth of the large gear were supposed to drive those of the smaller wheel.

However, the mechanism at the center of the large wheel is not symmetrical. This makes me think that it either involved some sort of rocking motion or, possibly, some sort of flip over type of motion.

I wonder, since the mechanism was uncloaked, if there are any written descriptions of how it operated.

Ken
I see similar ideas as you in it.
It looks like rocking, with possibly internal expansion of a gear or leverage.
Could it spin, offset a weight of some sort, rock the weight to one side, and this action placed into the small wheel.
the small wheel acting as a carying system.
The small wheel acts as if it puts weight to the center of axel, because it spins faster.
Then the rocking/leverage system (like that of the escapement in a watch) will again reset?

Give me this machine and I will make it run or prove it will not!

[Wheeler]

I suspect this machine will not work.

If it was a possibility, no organization would make it off limits to science.

They had to work very hard to keep this in a box as shown by the images.
They are also using confusion in the actual setting of the real image.
The back round is left in confusion to add a layer of confusion on confusion.

They want to keep this a mystery.

[Dave]

The only clue that this machine might have worked is the observed fact that the teeth meshing both wheels are very worn. This indicates a lot turning going on either by hand or functioning as a gravity motor.

[Wheeler]

Yes Dave
Your first build would be wood.
Testing and testing shows wearing of teeth.
If it worked you would not stop with wood.

if it will not work, but everyone thought it would, you put it away somewhere. For a very long time those who were told it worked still believed it was real, but it is never taken to the next stage of build.

[Dave]

Yes the first build would be wood, but this takes places during the Civil war. Perhaps the war kept further develoment. I bet a lot of the tries on this site dont get worn before its discarded and a new one built. It may have worked, too bad some study is not made.

[Wheeler]

Yes I may be 100% wrong and it did work.
