Yes, thank you, I am very satisfied with this :-)
And it makes sense to me.
I have for some time been playing with a very simple design and a principle that uses this kind of motion.
But with interconnecting them at 180 degrees as this COULD mean, I solved a lot of problems.
springs is a vital part of the simple construction, and I also am very shure that the Bessler signature mathes the motion, and the place in the revolution weights move.
The "torque" up/down(here meaning distance from hub) is inverse propotional with spring energy.
And a small (short distance) impressed force from the rising weights is what keeps the falling weights resist inwards motion (spring pull) of the falling weights !
Can`t seem to find a place for the "warped boards" though ! :-)
There will be a bump at about right angle (or just above).
I hope to get it tested, as I have only verified the motion itself, but not a complete construction !
How does your prototyping go ? (by the way)

: Hi Øystein,with
: I can quote you the latest translation by a native German speaker of the part to which you refer. It is more literal than the piece I published but perhaps better for our purposes.
: "... a work of art (or craftmanship) must be driven (or, more literal: must propel itself)by many special pieces of lead;
: Of which there are always two and two;(when) one thing takes outwardly the position,(then/so) the other moves to the axle;
: This one is soon (or: at one time?) here, and the other there;
: And in this way it changes (swaps places?) again and again.
: Does this help?

: : Hello, I have been thinking of a Bessler statement you reffered to earlier :
: : Quote :
: : "Bessler himself said that his weights worked in pairs, as one moved away from the axle so the other moved towards it."
: : Is this an accurate translation from documents, and where does this statement come from ? (Maybe it is in your book, sorry to say I have not read it ! How does the new book project go by the way ?)
: : Just curious, because I think this is of importance, and just want to know if I can use this as a 100% "hint".
: : I have made one new idea from it, as this would indicate a 180 degree connection between weights/arms...
