I first encountered a reference to Bessler and his machine today while reading Jacques Barzun's From Dawn to Decadence (p.312). Intrigued, I went to the Internet and found this site. I run a website where we often discuss things like this at www.craniumnexus.net (feel free to check it out).
Have any recent physicists, etc. made serious efforts to debunk Bessler? It seems that there simply isn't enough historical information to draw a definitive answer.
Nice site,
