Round...knive edged to cut resistance and the ball must run internally(inside)the bob in its horizontal track ...not protruding either side..thus as it moves it alternates to either side...Good Luck .please don't take offence but i'm not really interested in answering any more questions i'm an old man in a hurry ...my wife says don't take affence.. .take the gate instead..

This was used in Lighthouses...mercury float bearing,i witnessed the last one in use in Ireland a few years back being decommissioned for obvious health reasons ,then converted to modern bearing(long story)….anyway I often wondered after reading of Bessler's demise whilst working on his windmill ….could there be a use in todays world for such a device using this type of bearing ...the horizontal windmill easier to build and maintain,less tall and not a blot on the landscape heightwise ….just a thought...Good Luck.

If adjusting the length of the pendulum arm is the big deal, it would be a rather simple affair to make the pendulum arm out of all-thread/threaded rod. With a little ingenuity, this could be made real-time adjustable with a servo so that in effect you have made a tuning jig for any given weight of pendulum/bob combination.

Good idea - and so obvious. I can use that . Thanks.

Hi rasselasss ,

Pendulums , yes , but only in 360 deg , changing the pivot point constantly as the wheel revolves , and the pendulum should not be able to move or swing on the pivot , the pivot should give momentum to the pendulum ? .

By the way , did you know that Kimberly was the first town in the world with electric street lamps .

Another good idea I have found working my way through this thread. I have
already demonstrated with my VimmyWheel how to magnify the
Kinetic Micro Strain. I may be able to use this for moving the pivot and so
to achieve what bailiwick achieved with his Dominant Flywheel.

I must have missed this thread first time round because it was in the
Off Topic forum. I can't understand why since it is very much on topic.

How difficult can it be?

Dave Roberts sent me the below attached video.

For me it shows how we learn and think, also why we sometimes cannot see the forest for the trees! We learn and then become stuck in the ruts, loosing all comprehension of what could be if we only take the patience to hang in there and learn other than what we have been taught to accept.

Dave asks; does this relate as to why we adults have not solved Bessler's puzzle?

That is a brilliant video and well worth while giving a BUMP.

This is akin to what I experienced when in analysing stress-strain curves
for a range of concretes I realised that materials were held together from
without and not from within.

You are really on a roll today. Making quotes of others threads.

So to compressed concretes in a goverment stress lab.

And the link is about viewing the world upside down with special glasses.

There is no 'akin' and nothing to do with bessler.

'How difficult can it be?' to keep on topic?

Hi Resselasss I have read all the post on this thread.

Your original post back in 2013 was the best and asked a key question.

Shame you did not get an answer.

Thanks Riortie....thats all i could find as well.......an elaborate hoax....you have to wonder WHY the twisted minds of these people would put so much effort into this...

I doubt that its a hoax. I seem to remember they claim to have a working
model. I suspect since their dad was a billionaire is just a case of tackling
a bridge too far.

Having hacked my way through this thread from the beginning I presume you
have actually constructed this pendulum. If so, I cannot understand why on
earth you haven't published it on YouTube before someone else does.

After all, a continually swinging pendulum is the real breakthrough. The rest
is simply engineering. You're an engineer (and a very good one from what
I can make out). You should know that.

Perhaps the difference between us is that besides being an engineer
I am also a scientist, inter alia.

You wouldn't want to do a Bessler and fall off your windmill.

As for being old, at the risk of parodying the Four Yorkshire Men sketch, you
don't know what old is. 😎

I was hoping some-one after 4 days since posting the first blog here would ask/offer the obvious question ......with a repetitive load and reload.....Why not at 2 to 4 o'clock (or even less?)thus reducing the circumference movement required (1/6 instead of approx.1/4) .....remember we are not asking this wheel to do any "work"..just continue motion.......the only Physics rule to play here is "for every action WHAT is the re-action"...

I've been scrolling back through the thread to find if I've missed anything.

You are asking the wheel to overcome air friction, bearing friction, not to
mention stress cycling of the wheel material as it goes up and down in NG.
In short you have harnessed EG

You have "perpetual motion".
