: hi again
: thanks georg and oystein 4 your replies. in all honesty i dont understand what either of u are trying so hard to show, which in all probability is down to my lack of imagination rather than any downfall on your part.
: i must however suggest that you havent addressed my point. besslers theory of excess weight was NOT some design whereby excess weight,in the way in which we all know and understand it, magically appeared somewhere in the top half of his wheel. if this were the case then he would have stated that `these weights move in accordance with the principle of perpetual movement and do so due to clever old me managing to overweight a wheel in the way that everyone has always tried but never before managed`.
: he does not mention that his wheel works due to an excess of weight in this sense,he mentions that it moves and that he has formulated a THEORY as to why it moves. if it were simply an obvious case of excess weight in the normal sense then why would he have had to develope a theory,something new, HIS theory?
: he would have stated, would he not that his wheel turned due to good ole `excess weight somewhere` not some new theory belonging to himself. Once again therefore i ask the question, does anyone have any ideas as to what bessler saw as excess weight about an axle when the rest of us can thus far only see it in the traditional sense, the one that will never produce a pm wheel
: , the one that most of you seem hell bent on proving wrong when it is quite clearly an obvious statement of logical fact. you cant overweight a wheel permanently in this traditional sense of `overweighting`. You are as well trying to prove that man can breath under water, unaided, that brains are made from jelly and custard or any other daft ,obvious untruth!
: all the best GILL
Lately, I have been thinking in terms of excess weight coming from the third dimension, perpendicular to the plane of the wheel and parallel to the axle. If redirected to the plane of the wheel by pulleys or levers at just the right times and latched by mechanisms on the wheel itself, it seems possible that enough energy could be transferred to the weights to reguage them, overcoming friction losses without borrowing from the wheel's torque (in the wheel plane) to any great extent. Just a thought.......
Best regards,
Jeff.
