Friday... September 14, 2018    a day like no other before it......

I am extremely pleased with the place where I find myself on my current wheel attempt.  The addition of a small number of changes have been extremely enlightening.  Last night I watched a show about a trip that Teddy Roosevelt took into the Amazon Rain Forest to blaze a new trail on a previously unknown area .  It was very interesting and he said some things I really liked that apply to this adventure that I am on............. with my current attempt. It went something like this.

The true wilderness wanderer must be a man of action as well as an observer

He must have the heart and body to endure.

This is definitely a good thought as we push forward, how we proceed will determine so many things in our life and the lives of those around us.

Only by building and trying and building and trying have I been able to find that place of knowledge  that I seek.  That there is a center to all of these required events and from that place all things happen.  Pivoting, moving, acting on other weights as it is itself  ( a Weight ) in motion itself.  The result is that it cannot cause any adverse effect on the wheel as the wheel has its own set of rules that it lives by......

The basic principle of  using a weight to power the machine is a solid principle to follow.  To get it to do the many tasks required is an interesting adventure.  I believe that John Collins has said the Karl was surprised no one else had thought of this before, but the part about it being a clever use of levers and strings is always a guidepost that I sight on all the time.

Levers and strings....... Levers and strings

Looking at the MT drawing with a discerning eye .......

There is more to do, and much to tell

But for now........... I am still seeking

Sept 2, 2018 and we move closer to the reveal..........

The latest parts and pieces are looking really great.  The work of assembling these pieces is really a task of mental and physical coordination.  I finally have one assembled just like I think it needs to be, and with an identical set of parts I am trying to assemble another one, identical to the first.... NOT Happening     Finally gave up and quit to eat supper.  I will get back at it again tomorrow. 

Very interesting comments on the Collins forum lately, and I have enjoyed to witty exchanges.  Now that the vision of the rotation is firmly entrenched in my mind, I believe that the final steps are in process today.  The wheel itself, will one day be viewed as a simple and easy to identify process, but for now it is the same as it has been for the past 300 plus years, the  wheel must be in an out of balance condition, and cause itself to reset on each and every rotation.  One set of weights and levers doing two different tasks at the appropriate times.  There in    lies the dilemma, how can one thing do the work in different positions.??  Could it be that his reference to the center of the universe is GOD and all things work from there......  Yes       The clues are there for all to see, and there may be some code that will guide the thoughts of the enlightened ones, hut I am not one of those.

There will be a wonderful time in the near future that we can look at the wheel with a different perspective of knowledge.  The ah  HA  moments when we gaze upon the solution and then review his clues and finally connect the dots.....  So that is what he meant when he said that

I for one am using first hand knowledge of my own experiments to   build my idea of what he built.  

There is much to do and more to tell, but for now I am still seeking

For I am   a Perpetuum Mobilist
