Any intelligent comparison with 'avalanchedrive' will show that all PM turning wheels are only baby's toys!

Maybe,science is nothing more that simply common sense at its best...observation and logic.

Thank you, Al_ex!
Good find!
You gave a tip on what science is: common sense... or the wave of common sense... or daily common sense...

I like this quote - :-)
On a number of occasions the author has been asked to view and inspect mechanical devices which it was claimed by the confident inventor and his friends "would surely work when just one little thing can be overcome."

re: PM history...
These links are all good and useful items. Their providers should be thanked.
Although uniformly sad for it's disappointee pursuers, the history itself really is quite a worthy subject. (The peppery and conceitedly insolent Prof. Simanek, being correct on at least this one point.)
As can be noted easily, according to eBay availabilities and elsewhere as well, Ord-Hume did and does continue to profit tangibly, from his modest but fascinating study of The Chimerical Obsession.
This writer is of the belief that there is a much bigger and rounder story in it to be plumbed (for acquiral of still-more tangibles) than has yet appeared.
General popularization along the lines of a more humanized and sympathetic plan, on a more-than-modest scale is possible, I believe, this being the key to such a success as turning those tantalizing mouvement perpétuel chimeras into flowing cornucopias of silver, if not gold.
(Well, something of all this demoralizing 'nothing's doing so-far' nonsense might as well be turned into some form of reward, if only for the one author accomplishing such a trick. Why not?)
Incidentally, has anyone heard of how the ever-acidic Dirks well might have met his own pathetic end in a madhouse - namely Bedlam?
(Honestly, I do think that some of our own extremist favorites here - my own tag-team sadomasochist pair being finely exemplary of the really creepy, sneaky type - are headed similarly. Yeah, by-the-day the general BWF Civility Rating falls precipitously, and all degrades to black on account. Very sad, but very true.
"The Human Animal almost invariably is a treacherous beast, and knows-not it's own self nor rational needs."
"Komm, süßer Tod" but . . . first the book and the fun.)

There will be many laughs in the BesslerWheel forum when the fruition of their countless discussions, the GPM Mark 5, is demonstrated with a physical model. :-)
