The Mechanical Engine

[Peter Lindemann]

Hi Everybody,

As some of you may know, I have been intrigued by the stories of Johann Bessler's Self-turning Wheel, first demonstrated in 1712. I became absolutely convinced of the reality of this FIRST fuel-less engine after reading the Master Work by John Collins, titled Perpetual Motion: An Ancient Mystery Solved? John Collins lays out the detailed history of the machines, and follows clues to a "code" left behind by Bessler.

For me, the code seemed obscure, so I decided to see if it wasn't possible to "re-evolve" the design, like Bessler did originally.

Two years ago, I wrote an article titled The Mechanical Engine where I describe my search for Bessler's design, and my speculations about what it might be.

A few days ago, links to my article started getting passed around and a thread at OverUnity.com was started, where my ideas were, naturally, trashed.

I am starting this thread so a civil discussion of the ideas and possibilities of a purely mechanical engine based on harnessing Centrifugal Force can be explored.

Here is a link to my article that explores these ideas: http://www.free-energy.ws/pdf/mechanical_engine.pdf

An animation of the design has been made and will be uploaded to YouTube shortly. Aaron will put the link to it in this thread as soon as it is available.

Enjoy,

Peter

Excellent research Peter!

This is exciting information Mr Linderman. Looks like we are still stuck a little past where Mr Bessemer was but in a global view

Lets see if someone can build it and make it happen. Looks extremely promising

Nice pulsed flywheel. Once it gets into resonance, if built well enough and big enough, it should do quite nicely.
I know you built one, does it put out much power?

Cheers,

Interesting device. I think the animation is too fast, or is that how fast it is when it works?

The hitting point should force the wheel to move when the ball hit? From the video the ball hitting point will force the wheel to rotate to the opposite direction?

Look simple, but it seems very hard to make. The ball must released at spesific angle, the ball must be captured using the least amount of effort, the ball holder must be solid, ball catcher must have spesific balance, ball movement range must be precise, ....

Nice little animation, kinda went into a trance. @Sucahyo, it's not the hitting that gives the force, it's the swinging. Tie a weight to one end of a string, tie the other end to a clothes line wire, drop it from the side parallel to the wire so the string stays taught, and the wire will be pulled down. It doesn't hit, but reaches apex of swing, and comes back. However the wheel has turned, so the pull of the weight on the second swing is with the wheel's rotation to the left. Then at the apex of that swing, the lever clicks over the weight. When the lever drops off the weight, the weight moves only a little to the start position. So the net return of gravitational potential is down and left, so the wheel spins. the bearing could be magnetic. I wonder if you could use the fact that the force between a magnet and an Electret is translated at 90 degrees to movement when there is movement between them, and not 180 degrees constantly as with magnet and magnet. Worth thinking about.

Thanks..

Ted,

The official word is, I haven't built one yet. But like you, I believe "it should do quite nicely". You can see that the design is really just 8 of Veljko's two-stage oscillators combined in a rotating frame. You know that Veljko's machine is awesome, when tuned, and so do I. Last May, I actually traveled to Serbia and visited with Veljko, and saw HIS units. Talk about inspiring!!!

One step at a time.

Thanks for all your support,

Peter

Traveled to Serbia to visit Veljko!?! You lucky bastard! I'm green with envy. Did you tell him about your wheel?
Your wheel is a great way to harness the force of the pendulum. That force is very awkward to try and collect in a two stage oscillator since it is somewhat irregular and sensitive to over harvesting. The wheel transforms this energy directly into rotation while preventing excessive vertical travel of the pendulum during it's swing. Well done.
This device is definitely on my list of projects to build. Perhaps you could suggest some rough guidelines around about a 4 foot diameter wheel.
Great work Peter, congratulations!

Cheers,

Ted

P.S. To any doubters: If it weren't for the force that Peter is harvesting in his machine, this universe wouldn't exist in it's present form. Electrons would crash into their nucleus and planets would spiral into the sun. This is a fundamental property of angular movement, one which can generate additional energy into a mechanical system, and is available for all to use. The fact that modern science hasn't recognized it yet is a condemnation on the sorry state of science, not on Natures energetic abundance.

Thanks for the info Inquorate.

@Peter, saw the real unit in the work must be wonderfull . Have you utilize magnet like the design attached?

It rotate clockwise, the ball pivot is between inner and outer circle. Inner circle do not rotate, stay fixed and slippery. Connection between the magnetic ball to the ball pivot is solid. Magnetic ball can be tube too.

Edit:
Oops, never think that the N and S will prevent the wheel from rotating more, it will stuck the first time the ball and the inner cilider stick. Nevermind.

Second picture is the first I came up with. wrong ball position, but I think anyone can get the idea.

Thanks a lot Peter and Aaron looks great, the only thing i can offer for thought is this buzz saw one which may be of interest to the forum.

This is a great thread to start I read about the bessler wheel a little while back and really intrigued me also.. Hope to see some working prototypes from this group. Will be interesting reading before work for sure.
I really like the ideas and the way everyone here helps out.

[sucahyo]

BuzzSaw Gravity Wheel looks very interesting. Too bad it can't be replicated yet. It seems to work the same idea as mine. Although it is not certain wether mine will work or not .

I think, the weight is thrown outside when falling and get thown inside when lifted. Maybe the maximum weight used is 8. I think there is a speed limiter machanism.

Edit:
I think we can also add something to make premature drop in mechanism. If outside wheel move twice the inner one, maybe a more than needed weight make the ready to drop weight will drop in faster.

This make me realize that I don't show the direction in my previous picture.

Great work Warren
Looks very good so far. Thank you for sharing

Gravity free energy patents.

Hello members of the group

If you go to the European patent office advanced search page

esp@cenet — Advanced Search

And putt in F03G7/10 in the IPC classification search line and press the search button, 2961 patents will then show up.
These patents are all related to gravity, free energy, and mechanical constructions.

You cud also search on a specific year, then you cud se that over 100 new patent and patent applications coming every year.

Some of them are junk but some of them are a fine piece to the puzzle !!


Happy reading
Stefan
