July 30, 2018                 The pieces that are called for

Today I was able to complete a set of parts that will be the basis for this attempt.  They are extremely simple and very light weight.  The requirements as he talked about them do not require a hefty part that can absorb impacts and shock.  It is really a mind bending event to be at this point.  300 years and my own 16 years and almost 200 attempts have taken so many paths and dead ends I cannot add them together.

The basis is still simple.  No tricks or gimmicks, just straight forward math and an understanding of force.  By building the 3 legs as in his " and are ye yet without understanding" I was able to finally see what I believe he was talking about.   The next few days will be very interesting as I get the coordination of the movement with the required force to change the position of balance. 

There is a lot to think about when the topic of releasing this to the world, but even though no one can actually predict what will take place, I have that basic belief in the human spirit and we will have a better place to live.

The cut steel pieces are here for the 12 ft wheel.  A nice sturdy base and some sound U channels for the upright support structures. 

There really is a reason, that there is no connection to the wheel at the axle

There is more to do, and much to tell

But for Now      I am still seeking

For I am     a   Perpetuum Mobilist
