December 31, 2019       The year to come.....

Now that no working example of a working wheel is in motion, there must be a resolve set in our hearts, that no matter what it takes....... this is going to be finished.  Today, I rebuilt the main pivot to a larger bolt and included a brass bushing that will allow for a better longevity.  Building a mechanism that will last 10 years Plus....  requires a different mindset.  

The basic building progress has been a move of 1 step and then figuring out what will make .... what you just made.... better.  After figuring this out, building a jig to produce a reasonable facsimile thereof.  So, each step, has added more time to the build, and now that it looks like a 2 set of mechanisms will make it work, and 4 sets will actually have some power, it would have been easier and faster if I just let it go with the 2 mechanisms. Faster easier but without  a net can be a toxic event 

I do not want this to be casual, non repeatable system so I am taking the time build this the right way.

All who believe will understand, and those who don't will at least have to respect it.

No working wheel, as of this date but I can see it running right before my eyes,

Dec 15...... more work done, but oh my gosh is it taking a long road

I believe that it is an even number of mechanisms to make the wheel successful.   In my case there is 4 primary weighted movers and 4 secondary weighted movers.

The Secondary weights provide the power for the movement of the secondary weights.  It would be easier with a total of 8 and 8, but it would be more complicated.  I will build a number of these 8  ft wheels just to get a more comfortable feeling about the intimacies of building a working wheel.   These will be sold to a few very close friends that I completely trust.  They are all highly skilled engineers and machine shop operators and will be a valuable asset as we move forward to the 14 ft wheel...... already have the main plates cut and the bracing for the stands.. 

I have been working on my NDA to present to them, it is pretty tough and they will have to protect any and all data that is shared for the rest of their lives.... with an additional 10 years for any heirs executor and assigns.         The paper it is written and the value of the document is only as good as the integrity of those who are the parties involved.   To be able to be called Trustworthy"  is like  no other title that a person can receive and all of friends chosen are Trustworthy.

It seems the triggering mechanism for the movement of the primary weight is the Masonic A logo

December 10         and now we can see the end of the year ahead of us and the pressure is on

It is one thing to build up a little set-tup and see things you were hoping to see, but it is another matter to replicate that magic.   My digital mill really helps out

Guide my hands dear Lord that I might be all that is required of me

The skills that Bessler learned when he was building all those pieces for a giant pipe organ would have served him well and he dove into the fabrication of the wheels.

Having built actually hundreds of parts over the years, it seems a simple task to build up the identical systems that will take us forward.... but its not

There is nothing that can prepare your  mind and hands for all that will required.   20 hours to build one part, and 20 minutes to build the next.   Push forward, there is no option.  If the direction you have chosen to walk is the correct one, if the materials will hold up?   So, many unknowns and parts that have never been walked only adds to the complex business that we are chasing.

I am struggling to build even the most simple of pieces in a uniform and replaceable feature.  one part can be used in multiple places and fits perfectly and performs a single task in all positions.

3 of the 4 mechanisms  are sitting in my living room tonight and  it feels great to be this close.

No working wheel as of this date, so for now    I am still seeking for I am

December 1, 2019      The year is coming to an end and it is time for the wheel to appear

We were all excited to hear that the wheel would be revealed in 2019, the year is not over, but the window for the reveal is closing.

My friend, John Collins is optimistic but his focus is now on other areas.  We wish the Collin's family the best  in its search for the solution to good health.

I have, as usual, built up my mechanisms with light and temporary materials, so as I now believe that I have solved the enigma of the wheel I am building lots of jigs and fixtures to have reliable repetition of the components an easy task.

Taking the prototype to the limited production run is a time consuming and tedious task.  The first of the mechanisms is now set up, and is being used as the baseline for the remaining mechanisms to be timed and sequenced correctly.  Having checked and double checked all of the divisions of the wheel put in place I am confident with the locations that I have selected.

The amount of primary weight that is required to power the continuation is still a work in progress, but my confidence is high that it can be easily figured out.  The secondary weight will then be scaled to supply the necessary force required.

Those who claim that they have figured out the wheel can easily say...... Oh   thats what I was working on.   Or the SUNR...... from India can assert his claim, which it seems to me has no foundation what - so - ever   The only thing that matters is a working wheel

No working wheel as of this date, but confidence is extremely high and each day is filled with excitement awaiting the glorious action to be seen.
