I, of course, disagree with the second part. I think, so far, we can be reasonably sure that his wheels worked through the simple maintenance of a chronic state of imbalance. A simple mechanism achieved this effect. That is all there is to the matter...to solve the mystery, we need merely find the mechanism.
I demonstrated some months ago, when I derived "Bessler's 4th Law of Motion", that a chronically overbalanced gravity wheel's rotating weights had, even though they moved about a "closed" path, an average vertical velocity that was
always negative in sign or directed downward toward the center of the Earth. In this situation, the weights must, after each wheel rotation,
lose a miniscule portion of their masses which are then converted into the kinetic energy that both accelerates the wheel and, if sufficient, can perform external work. I do not consider this process to be a "mystery" at all.

It sounds to me like James Kelley has two wheels: the original and the one he is working on now. The original, which worked, weighed over 600 lbs and was over 7 ft tall. The one he is working on now is over 6 ft tall.
However, are we talking about two
separate wheels? Or, is the one he is working on now made from the parts that were in the "original" one?
Well, I hope that this confusion can finally be cleared up once Ralph has arrived on the scene.
James...
I'd like to, once again, ask you this question. Do you
now possess a wheel, whether it is the original one, a separate secondary one, or one derived from the original one, that is capable of
continuous rotation?
If you can answer this for us, then it will certainly help dispel the confusion that is arising here concerning what you claim to have.

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
