Interior of the machine was a simple arrangement of weights and levers. - Prince Karl, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel, eyewitness account
I am *amazed* nobody has figured this out yet. It's just as Karl said... "the machine is so simple that a carpenter's boy could understand and make it after having seen the inside of this wheel." I don't actually need 65 days to build it, it could be done in a week, but I want to roll it out on the 4th, and keep everyone in suspense for a while too.
You mention forget about levers, but also publish this?
You stater your one model is quite complex so are shooting for the simpler one. Is the complex one the bi-directional one, and the simpler the uni?
