I have done some
reading about the Bessel wheel. The eye-witness descriptions and my general knowledge
combined with the pictures of vereneum's wheel were enough for me to figure it out. If one
uses a wheel with 8 spokes and attaches the end of the spring near the center of the spoke, the
impact of the released spring energy on the weight will be at the junction of the rim and the
spoke, exactly at right angles to the axis of rotation, so that 100% of that energy is imparted to
additional rotation. Also, if you look at the two opposing spokes at the horizontal
position, you will see that the weight on the right spoke is at the junction of the rim and the
spoke, imparting a greater rotational force through the spoke to the hub than that of the weight
on the left spoke, because the force on the left weight is at the center of the spoke where the
spring attaches and therefore has a shorter leverage to the hub. This results in less
counter-rotational force on the rim and hub on the left side of the wheel that there is rotational
force on the right side. Also, you have the loading of the spring occurring a little at a
time through almost 180 degrees of rotation on the left side, but it is released very quickly near
the 12 o'clock position to accomplish reguaging. The total distance that a weight is lifted
is equal to the total distance it descends, so these two energies are at an exact balance.
The unbalanced leverages and added energy of spring release should result in a greater net
force in the rotational direction. Also, you have the GIT principle of conversion of a
linear force (release of the spring energy) converted to a rotational force at the moment of
impact. There may also be a vortex action contribution (Shauberger) since the rotational arc
of the weight around the spring/spoke junction is less than the rotational arc of the wheel.
The gravity energy stored in the spring through the larger arc is released in a shorter distance
at a higher energy in the smaller arc.
Does this make sense
to anyone? I think this is what Darren Houle figured out as posted on Sterling Allan's site
(http://www.greaterthings.com/News/FreeEnergy/Directory/BesslersWheel/Houle/part_1.htm).
It should work much better than vereneum's wheel, although I wouldn't have figured it out without
his contribution.
