On correcting my last true,true post. What it of course comes down to is, and I can see you feel the same way, by using a heat type mechanism within the wheel, one could gather heat from the enviroment, or one could gather heat from the wheel itself (axel-whatever) but it comes down to essentially dumping that heat so the process can continue. Which was my point in stating that maybe that's the reason his demonstrated wheel was 12 feet in diameter. Suppose area (the outer perimeter) was what was needed to establish this. He could have a gas gain a little heat from the axel, work upon a piston, and then that piston flip to the outer edge to completely cool it.
