August 24, 2018  ........ the time for the world to change is here...


My time recently has been extremely rewarding, both physical and mentally.  The sheer volume of precision components is a real discipline challenge.  The parts cannot be made in a hap hazard fashion, because this thing has now turned into a giant SWISS watch.   Getting the clearances for all of the components so that they can perform their task is a mind game all of its own making. Too much........... not enough    powerful enough.... too powerful is a bunch of trade offs that have to work together seamlessly.  and yet in the working is the reward.   My desire to make the world a better place is always in front of me.  and as we get closer the questions that haunt you in the middle of night return.   What is the best way to make the transition from a working model to public acceptance?   The level of skills required to get this done are just mind bending, and it seems that I have been training all my life for this.  The cable work with the many homebuilt aircraft that I built is called upon right now to get thing moving and provide the strength to accept the task that this key component has been given.   Pulleys that actually work are virtually frictionless and are easy to build has been a project for years, but I thing I finally have a system that up to the task.  Really sturdy and with brass bushing to cut down on the friction and provide many years of service.

I know some pretty good craftsmen out there and I am not sure how many of them could complete this task.   There have  been so many times that the hours of work and tremendous amount of investment did not pay off,    it would have  been just so so easy to quit.  But how can you quit?  You know so much from the school of hard knocks that then you have a vision..... HEY I THINK I'VE  GOT THIS FIGURED OUT>........ is pretty funny after the 50th time.  Ya know the wolf that cried wolf..... finally no one believed him at all and then the wolf showed up.

There is a more somber note to address and that is this............ will I survives

There is lots of folks who do not want this technology to get into the hands of the public, and will cause all kinds of unknown problem to serve their own personal program.  Will my extended fanily be put at risk, my deepest desire is to shield them from what is about to happen as best I can.  The faces of the grandkids.... S and S and O and Z are in my thoughts and mind every day  We are all taking a risk that this will not work out and I could be a doink.......... in the family tree, or perhaps, with  a little luck  and some help from my creator I can wrestle this dragon to the ground with my bare hands and wit.  If I don't survive and the wheel is made public and takes off like I know it will then the task that I was put on earth to do has been done.   True, I would like to see its growth and world economy changing benefits. and whoever is our president will reap the benefit that is sure to follow.  Lets hope the president is a strong leader with great business experience and finally some common sense, and a note from me........... Common Sense is not Common Practice

Much to do    even more to say but for now I am still seeking

Very Carefully .....................  Aug 19, 2018


I have spent so much time in the shop building these new pieces that I have just lost track of how many hours I have spent lately.   The revelations of finally looking at his drawings and trusting in his details are just now coming into focus.  No one will be more surprised than me when the pieces are finally assembled to test.  The unbalanced condition is caused by the movement of a number of levers and strings.  Just like Karl said.....  I feel like the aluminum that I am using will give us a leg up on longevity compared to the materials that Bessler had in his day, but I always reminded that wood is the ultimate composite material.

I found these quotes from Leonardo DaVinci on the internet, but I cannot be sure of their authenticity, however

“some foolish men will accuse me of being uneducated. They will say that because I did not learn from their schoolbooks, I am unqualified to express an opinion. But I would reply that my conclusions are drawn from firsthand experience, unlike the scholars who only believe what they read in books written by others” 

[i]"These scholars strut around in a pompous way, without any thoughts of their own, equipped only with the thoughts of others, and they want to stop me from having my own thoughts. And if they despise me for being an inventor, then how much more should they be despised for not being inventors but followers and reciters of the works of others.

I am watching and listening to the other Bessler research sites, and still do not see anything showing up like what I see.  The most interesting of all is its simplicity.

There are still parts to build and much to say,  but for now I am still seeking........   4
