: M Jean Yves Hervouet rote in this page :

: "Mr Costa is a very kind and easy-going guy and, in my opinion, also honest.
: I guess that his argued points are:
: - The first wheels he built were too small and did not even move.
: - Further calculations show that a wheel must have about 40 or 50 meters height to be really seft running.
: - He was not allowed to build such a giant one.
: - The actual 18 meters wheel stalls after a while because the 'unbalance' is to weak.
: - Even if it stops, he is convinced that he has demonstrated a working principle.
: - A best choice of building materials to lower friction and chafing is always possible.
: - When the wheel is big enough it does the job... etc...
: Thursday, Mr Rudolf Wehrung ("9-11 Monument - Eternal Light") gave me (by e-mail) confirmation of all these points. I find difficult to follow Costa's argument. I also think that Mr Wehrung is very optimistic."
: Ces informations ne sont pas exactes.
: La roue actuelle est un prototype destinée à prouver la réalité du principe et de la technique.
: Un installation de puissance demandera obligatoirement une adaptation.
: Je pense qu'il serait souhaitable que ceux qui veulent s'informer de cette invention le fassent à la source. Par exemple en allant voir la roue.
