: The Draschwitz wheel (his second exhibited wheel and a single-direction one) was reported to "rotate with great force and noise...". No further details have I been able to find so far concerning the noise coming from the single-direction wheel. The only clear detail about the noise comes from the Kassel wheel which produced the sound of eight weights falling on the side towards which the wheel turned.

Were there any eye witness reports to the noise of any of the single direction wheels?
: Could the single direction wheels only "bang" 4 times per rotation?
: In which direction do you think the warped boards were warped, length or width?
