I really go over the clues he left...... again and again.  I recall that he kept the idea that natural events were a key clue.  A shotgun shoots a bow twangs etc.  If you have a large wheel and have the privilege of watching it do things that it wants to do show you..... it does have a set of rules that it cannot change, no matter what.  The excessive power required by some operations is really difficult to get in your mind.  The wheel has its set of rules.  It has to have the weight attached directly to the wheel.  If a weight is on a lever, that weight has another set of rules that dictate where the wheel actually "sees" the weight.  A falling weight, actually disappears from the weight inventory.  The impact of that weight after falling even a large distance is  substantial, but it cannot overcome the  time that the weight had become invisible.  There are so many new and weird nuances about the weight inventory.  A device that is rotating changes the rules again, pushing aside what we "know".  

A wheel that is so badly out of balance that it requires to be tied to prevent it from rotating is really a duck of a different color.  To be continuously out of balance the weight inventory requires that a natural event is causing the imbalance to occur.  That, in and of itself,  requires such an intimate understanding of natural activities that it cannot be thought of with the usual thought process, but requires a new way of thought.  A natural event, must cause another event that is not normal.  The weights want to be in balance..... end of story.  IT will not be tricked into being out of balance under normal activities, but what if it can?  That is where the fun lies.  So simple and carpenters boy could replicate it after watching for a while..... in fact I cannot imagine why it has not been done before

So were are back to reading the wheel and its natural events.  Trying to come up with a mechanism that will perform the way we see it in our imagination.  After weeks of thought, and more weeks of fabricating special components that will change the natural activity into your vision.  My wheel turns over 80 revolutions without any mechanisms on board.  The most complex and well thought out idea sometimes ends in as few as a dozen revolutions.......  Which eventually comes to a stop.   

These are long days in the shop and new ideas getting harder to see.  Having tried so many of them that the well is getting a little dry.   But always hoping that  one more try will be the one that has been so elusive for over 300 years.  There will be no cessation of effort until we achieve our goal.  The planet is depending on us.

Tomorrow is another day, and OH    I have another idea.........another angle to pursue !!!!
