Since no one really knows what his mechanism looks like only someone working with the clues that he left has any chance of replicating his work.  John Collins is as close to finding the clues and connecting the dots that I have heard.   Unfortunately, his daughter is having a bout with cancer and John is helping to make her life as comfortable as possible, but....... he has promised to return to his work, publish the data and share this important information with us.  YAY !!!

It seems to me, that the very nature of the wheels that were displayed shows that Bessler understood the principle so well that there were 3 versions.  one required it to be tied to keep it from turning.  A larger version that turned one way, and finally the giant 12 ft wheels that would turn both ways.  This lends itself to the speculation that if he sold one version, he could have easily produced another such device with a different system.  So, once we understand the principle, then it would seem feasible to create other devices that perform a similar result.  The wheels over time kept getting wider and larger in diameter.  The larger the diameter the more power it produced, so there must be some connection to having the weights on the perimeter where they have the most force from their increased moment arm while being on the perimeter.

But moving weights around the perimeter requires a great deal of energy.  Unless an interaction occurred between weights at the center and weights on the perimeter could be accomplished.  I think he said....... Don't get the cart before the horse..... which sends us in another direction all together.

Boy, it's no wonder it has take over 300 years to get this close.

a little warmer now, so I will be in the shop putting together another attempt

for I am a PERPETUUM MOBILIST         wish me luck
