I just visited a site called crank.net, and this site (Besslerwheel.com) was listed as the number one perpetual motion crank site. The site owner displays his site as "cranks, crackpots, kooks and loon on the net". John Collins' website was also listed.
It seems to me that everyone who contributes to this site has a genuine interest in uncovering the technology that Bessler used, and there were just too many eyewitnesses to attribute the whole deal as baloney. I'm not sure who the author of crank.net is,
but I guess he is entitled to his opinion. Of course, if it is his opinion that i am a "crank, crackpot, kook or loon", then I guess its equally ok for me to have my opinion that I got his crank right here.........
