: There's one point we all must remember in any designs we produce. Count Karl set the device's construction standard long ago.
: If we look at what we have, could we hand the drawing to a carpenter's boy (apprentice) and say "make this", and would he be able to?
: I believe this thing is so simple that we've all overlooked what JB and Karl have left for us, and when we do finally see it we'll all feel

Hello Grim,
the construction can really be done by a carpenders son.
The internal(as I believe) of the Besslerwheel can be viewed
at http://www.kuenstler-energie.de and then page COG.htm
I am actually building this version( but I am not a carpender and are limited in tools).
The mathematics can be found in the book Physik für Ingenieure at
page 289/290.
Best regards
