Bessler said that the machine was flowing like the falling of raindrops. That idea has stuck with me for so many hours of contemplation. This idea coupled with the words that the weight must be applied 90 degrees to the axle of the wheel .............combine to make the larger diameter so important. Moment Arm is the key,.........Moment arm as long as possible on one hand and Moment arm as short as possible on the other. That movement, must occur, where there is the least path of resistance, so it must occur in the horizontal plane. So moving the weights from close to the axle to far from the axle must be the focus of all other sources of drag. The energy that is generated from the law of falling weights is paramount to the program, but the smooth transition of catching and releasing is not that easy to accomplish. A true overbalanced wheel would require a cord to keep it from spinning. That is exactly what Bessler had to do with his first wheels. That must be our focus The Overbalanced Wheel
