Sept 6, 2019       a glimpse  into a 300 year mystery

Each day brings new insights into the basic design.  Finally getting one system working together in harmony was a blessing of untold magnitude.  I am going to compare this effort to picking a 200 lb weight and carrying it as far as you can...... The road is long and not paved, with a pothole every now and then as well as curves and sharp turns.  But as you achieve each milestone you can see things that you could not see before.  Today, was such a day.  Each system works within itself and will benefit from an interconnectedness between another system.  BUT  the action of each system can now be broken down into zones.  Each zone of activity must be divided into separate actions that are addressed by each spring as it comes into play.

THIS IS FUN             I cannot imagine doing anything else with my life.......  I love it

The harmony of the actions as they address a specific load is really cool.

I will be bringing  a set of two identical mechanisms to the wheel soon and a lot of guessing will be cleared up.  The path to success is cloudy at times and then you come around a corner, and there in front of you lies the answer.  But you could not see it until you get around the corner.  There are those in pursuit of the working wheel  that do not actually build, and I really believe that they cannot achieve success.  The actions are so intertwined that it just does not seem likely that they can engineer, in their mind, the solution.  and then even if they can figure it out then converting that into a working wheel is a Mt Everest climb.

No working wheel as of this date, but I can see it running in my mind, but for now I am still seeking for I am a Perpetuum Mobilist.
