1: If Bessler did what he said, he would have basically reversed the laws of equilibrium, and with each cycle of his wheel there would be a gain in potential, resulting in an increase in velocity. It was stated however his wheel ran at a consistent rpm.
2: If he had an internal mechanism that dumped the excess gain, it would have to have been fairly sophisticated.
3: The other problem then arises that if the wheel had just enough energy to maintain its constant rpm-it would not have enough energy to maintain this rpm when a load was put on the machine, such as the raising of weights.

Replies:
(1) Obviously, the wheel had to be balanced more to one side than to the other (or it wouldn't turn.) Bessler figured out how to convert a linear force (gravity, which pulls down) into a circular motion.
(2) Huh? ,(I don't think so!)
(3) You are ignoring the 'fly-wheel' effect, i.e. energy (momentum) is 'stored' by the system. You are also overlooking the fact that pulleys were used in the raising of the weights. (Pulleys allow you to multiply the force exerted.) Also, this was done via the main axle. If the load had been applied to the wheel's rim, it would have been stopped in no time. And (1) above still applies.
