Standing in a Different Position in the room

I would ask my kids to help me problem solve sometimes.  I would ask them for 4 different solutions to a problem, and I would use the upper corners of the room as examples. What do you see if you were sitting up in this corner, or that corner.  Which idea would be the best solution?   From a different position or a point of viewing, sometimes, we can see a different solution.

I love to read the clues that Bessler left for us to figure out, how he found the solution.  One of the many websites talking about his work recently listed 300 clues in reference to the 300 year anniversary.  One of the clues pointed to many pieces of lead that were used.  Well, it seemed pretty obvious a number of pieces of lead, which is very heavy, would help to find the solution.  So, it was so obvious how that large pieces of lead were used.   I could envision him melting down lead to cast these larger pieces.  Pouring it into a form and getting the exact shape of the mold, BUT what if the many pieces of lead were pointing to lead shot.  By the time Bessler came along, a shotgun using lead shot was a common part of the process of hunting, or larger shot being placed in the canisters that were being shot out of cannons.  We also have hammers that are filled with shot or steel BB's that are called Dead Blow hammers that reduce the bounce back of the primary weight.  

Another one of the clues pointed to a more or less of a gentle thud, rather than that of a large impact on the descending side of the wheel. It fits quite well, that it could be many separate pieces of lead such as lead shot.  It the lead shot was put inside an area, in such a way that he could add more shot as required to bring everything into the perfect condition that he was seeking.   If the condition was a balanced condition the addition of just a few of the small shot pieces would bring in the addition weight required, very easily and precisely.  A balanced wheel is one does not stop in the same place,  but is just coming to a stop where the friction of the bearings stops the rotation.  The balanced wheel is a great place to start to think about how a balanced wheel can be encouraged to rotate.  The weight of a single washer at the 3 o'clock position can easily move the wheel.  If there was a way to add the weight of a single washer and make it disappear from the wheel and re-appear again, but since we can't make the weight disappear we have to just dream of how we could make that happen, but for now there is still much to tell

The year of 2017 will be the year that our planet can start to breathe a breath of of fresh air.
