G'day Scott,
I'm glad to be part of this forum as I've learnt a lot since reading all the info available, hence my attempt at the little Costa wheel, as far as that goes, "friction is my worst enemy", the levers that actuate the mechanisms will have to be lengthened and bearings fitted to the ends to try and eliminate as much friction as possible. I've sent Grim some photos of the bearings I'm using and will also send a picture of the mechanisms early next week. Further updates will follow.
Best regards, Smithy.
: Hi Smithy,
: Thanks for your patience and support. It turns out that a phone line somewhere between my house and the central office was physically damaged, which was causing my DSL connection to be flaky. The phone company finally repaired the line today, so my website should be up and running reliably now.
: I'm sorry that it happened, but to me it was nice to see that someone even noticed! I'm glad that fellow Bessler enthusiasts are using this website. Thanks especially to the many people like yourself, Smithy, who post their ideas to the discussion board.
: Let's keep up the dialogue!
: By the way, how's your mini-Costa wheel experiment going?
: Best,
: Scott
: : Hey Scott,
: : The site seems to be working fine now, I think we only lost a couple of days worth of contemplation!! This site works very well for all of us with the common interest of discovering the secrets of perpetual motion!!

: : : My apologies to everyone for the outages my website has been experiencing lately. My Internet connection has been broken for the last week or so, but since I was away away on vacation, there was unfortunately nothing I could do about it.
: : : Since my return home yesterday I have been working feverishly to restore my connectivity. But since the problem is with my DSL service through my local phone company, the support I am getting leaves something to be desired.
: : : The website appears to be up and running for now, but it may still have some problems. Thanks for your patience. I hope to have all the problems worked out soon.
