I got my first try to go about 30 seconds longer!(than the original wheel) Tried a few other things that that made it worse than the original. The first try needed less friction on the sliding parts, but have not had the time to play lately.
: Hi all,
: I just found this site by accident and this some very interesting discussions.
: Besslers wheel, What a challenge! As soon as I saw it I started think of how it could be done. After a bit of brainstorming (15 mins) I now have a plan! and am 99.9% sure it will work. So now I have to go away and have a crack at it.
: The only problem is, My solution is so simple I cant believe none of you guys have figured it out.
: What kind of times have you reached with a running wheel, ie 3 hours, 3 days, 3 weeks ?
: I need a target to beat as mine will be contructed with a hacksaw and a hammer : Regards,
: Tony
