JANUARY 1,  2018........... A balance as a temporary condition.
.
If we can balance the wheel like a teeter totter, and provide an additional impulse to the basic structure, the momentum will keep the rotation until the next mechanism provides the same balance and then assistance to continue to the next motion.   If the eyewitness accounts mean anything at all, we must adhere to the sounds of 8 light pulses that occurred on each revolution.
.
Another clue about levers, strings and pulleys lead me to the conclusion that a multiplication factor of the force being used cannot really be a lever but an article that Bessler would have seen in his travels or on a trebuchet.  A small force applied with strings and pulleys could only mean he used a block and tackle.  But where it is used leads to a myriad of options.
.
Is work done on an article if something does not move?  If we press against a wall with all our strength and it does not move, does that mean no work was done?   I think not..... work was performed but it really does not show us much unless something moves.  If we believe that the weights were the source of forces and that these weights worked in pairs it leads us down a narrow path for conclusions.
.
Now that a basic configuration has been chosen, making all the parts to accomplish the first real rest is a daunting task.  The interaction of the weights in pairs can be an extremely sensitive weight issue. To keep that much sought after balance must lend itself into just a few conditions.
.
The year is young, but the vision of the movement is burned into my mind and heart.  I believe each of us was put on earth for a specific task, and the ability to build things was mine.
.
Lets finally get this thing working and get it put to work and try to save the family of the  human race from itself.  There is much respect and thanks to our brother in arms...... John Collins
