First...
I recently read on a website somewhere that if someone were to
rediscover the secret of the Bessler wheel today it would be
little more than a curiosity.
It seems to me that if someone were to build a working,
demonstratable, proven, insides exposed to the world for
examination, bonafide Bessler wheel today that it would
dramatically change the entire world as we know it.
How important a discovery would this really be?
Second...
Hypothetical question. You are working on drawings or CAD or
whatever you work with and all of a sudden the light comes on.
Click. You've done it. It overbalances. You don't even have to
triple check your numbers because it doesn't break any laws of
nature or theories of the universe to work, you just put two
sticks together in a way that nobody (except Bessler) has thought
of before. You are completely and utterly awe struck because
you have rediscovered a secret lost almost 300 years ago.
What exactly do you do now?
A) Give it to the world as a free gift
B) Try to lock it down and squeeze out every penny you can
c) Sell it to the world for a fair price
I favor C but... what is a fair price (hence my first question)?
And whom do you sell something like this to? Surely not the
governmment, and starting your own Bessler wheel manufacturing
plant is not realistic, but what large company or organization
could be trusted with something like this?
