< Differentiating the Balanced and Unbalanced Section >
 
- a breakdown on a simple unbalanced wheel, to identify the relationship on the weights between the left and right side of wheel
 
- this is just extra knowledge, not directly related to the Bessler Clue
 
- sort-of related topic associated with the "unbalanced see-saw" from the image "wheel_theory_44b.jpg"

< Count Karl's Explanation......... it's the other way round >
 
- this topic is mainly based on fictitious clue, so just entertain along
 
"Count Karl explained that small pegs, which swung back out of the way as the weight passed the zenith, blocked these weights." - fictitious clue
 
"Only a few persons had the privilege of seeing what was inside the wheel and they were sworn to secrecy. Even they did not see what might have been hidden inside the long six-inch diamter axle, supported at each end by iron pins only about an inch in diameter. Remember that Bessler had a reputation as a very skilled clockmaker, and such a heavy wheel can sustain flywheel motion for a very long time. Clocks could be made to run a year without winding.
 
These few who saw the inside of the wheel after removing the front panel said that it had many compartments around the perimeter of the wheel, each with a shifting weight inside."
extract from https://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/museum/people/people.htm#bessler
 
"each child can swing (or you might call it "step" as it uses a club as a "leg") from the top of one broken column to the top of the next broken column by positioning his heavy club on the ground between the two close columns and holding on to the handle end to swing over to the top of the next column." - bessler clue
 
- Count Karl thought that the peg (child/swinging weight) was blocking the movement of the weight (club/rolling weight), ... on the contrary, the peg was using the weight (the child using the club as its "leg") to move, or swing, to its desired location (the child swing from top column to next top column). Karl got the role of the peg and weight mixed-up.
 
- information that can be extracted from above

1. Count Karl didn't know how Bessler Wheel works, he was just describing what he saw based on how much he remembered (one can remember now, but forgot the next minute)

2. the "zenith" indicates the interaction of the peg and weight occur at the top of wheel, or at the perimeter of the wheel

3. the interaction of the peg and weight might possibly be described by others as the action of "shifting weight"

< A Look at the Pulley >
 
"Furthermore, the machine may be of little value to the public unless it can be improved. At the moment it can lift a weight of sixty pounds, but to achieve this the pulley had to be reduced more than four times, making the lifting quite slow." - eyewitness clue
 
situation 1
 
- 'lifting quite slow' might indicate that the wheel need to pull more rope length, which in turn, slow down the lifting of the load,
 
- which also indicate there might have more pulleys involved
 
- 'pulley reduced more than four times' .... was it a reverse meaning, instead of reduced, it is the addition of more pulleys ? .... or it was not refering to the pulley at all ?
 
situation 2
 
- for light load, the wheel can easily lift the load up, while the rpm of wheel only reduce a little, so lifting is still fast
 
- but for heavy load, it will cause rpm of wheel to reduce more (with minimum use of pulleys), thus lifting will become slow
 
- so this can also explain the 'lifting quite slow', but if this is the case, then the 26rpm would have reduced to, not 20, but lesser... maybe 5-10rpm (guessing... 20rpm could/might still be considered quite fast when lifting the load up ?)
 
- but why 'pulley reduced more than four times' ? Is there alot of pulleys used in the first place ?

Take note:
"the machine may be of little value to the public unless it can be improved"
..... .... ....
the wheel is weak (but don't see it as a bad thing, .... on the contrary, it simply means there are alot of rooms to explore, ... and more topics to write ^o^ hooray!)

< The Cursed of the Number 8 >
 
"Design of my machine is analogues to world system. I have put eight heavy weights in my machine, which represents eight planets of our world. The large axle of my machine represents the sun. Heavy weights in my machine encircle around the axle to form an elliptical path, in the similar manner, as planets encircle around the sun. Whilst moving around axle, they recede and come closer to the center. They balance against each other and impart motion to the wheel. ?"
 
- the emphasize on the eight heavy weights ..... ..... .....
 
- ABSOLUTELY ... NO ... IDEA
 
- ...denial...denial...denial...didn't see...didn't hear...denial...what eight weights...didn't see before...eight weights...never heard of it...denial...complete denial...what eight...don't know... .... LOL :-) ^o^
 
- OK now back to the topic... no idea about the eight heavy weights, it basically defied most (or all) of the analysing of the other clues
 
- although more interested in the "elliptical path", which will post a topic on it
 
- IMO the binding of eight weights, eight planets is more of a way (a description) that Bessler used, to impress the eyewitness, kind of like a saleman trying to promote his product (focus on the good, amplify the good, divert the bad, hide the bad)
 
- the bidirectional wheel is also another way to impress the eyewitness, no much of any practical uses, and all these impressive display/description that Bessler had employed, seemed to have the purpose of either

1. diverting the attention of the eyewitness away from the weakness of the wheel... output of the wheel is weak... (one eyewitness had stated that), or

2. average out the weakness of the wheel, by compensating with impressive other display/description stuffs, or

3. simply the ego to impress, or

4. it does, and 'only', have 8 heavy weights ( mmm .... .... .... denial.... denial...denial...didn't see... ...denial...what eight weights...didn't see before...eight weights...never heard of it...denial...complete denial...what eight...don't know... ... ... LOL)

< Trail of the Elliptical Path >
 
"Design of my machine is analogues to world system. I have put eight heavy weights in my machine, which represents eight planets of our world. The large axle of my machine represents the sun. Heavy weights in my machine encircle around the axle to form an elliptical path, in the similar manner, as planets encircle around the sun. Whilst moving around axle, they recede and come closer to the center. They balance against each other and impart motion to the wheel. ?"
 
"one or other of them must apply its weight at right angles to the axis, which in its turn must also move"
 
- due to a portion of the swinging weights station at right angles to the axis (also have to consider the rolling weights), the wheel would (most probably) have an illusion look of an oval-shape, or an ellipse
 
- refer to image to see the tracing line along the swinging weights
 
Take note:
the tracing of the path, if based on the combination of the swinging and rolling weights, might have a better ellipse/oval shape look

< The Right Angle and the Small Angle Swing >
 
"one or other of them must apply its weight at right angles to the axis, which in its turn must also move"
 
"each child can swing (or you might call it "step" as it uses a club as a "leg") from the top of one broken column to the top of the next broken column by positioning his heavy club on the ground between the two close columns and holding on to the handle end to swing over to the top of the next column. Then he rotates the handle end of his club to maneuver it between his current column and his next intended column so that he can again "step" or swing a small angle over to the top of the next intended broken column."
 
- the swinging weight, when swings from one destination to another, takes about 90 degrees (this is about as small a swing as it can be)
 
- refer to the image on the small angle swing
