Attempt and failure at Bessler wheel :-).

See Wikipedia's "Johann Bessler" for more information.

I used a program called "Interactive Physics" to create the animation: http://www.design-simulation.com/ip/index.php

  • there are laws of physics that say: no mater the path a mass takes ( refering to up and down) the energy that the mass makes on it's way down is equal to the energy necesary to lift it at the same hight. in reality this is true if u have a 100% eficient mechanism to lift the mass.

    L=Fxd F is the force and d is the distance. do the math L is the same if u take this example posted by smlefo.

  • The idea behind the bessler wheel is that our human understanding of physics is incomplete, and that our human formulas aren't 100% correct. Now - I do agree with you that modern physics states that a perpetual motion device is impossible. And my gut tells me that as well. But it is interesting to see people try and hack our human understanding :-). Dreamers push us forward, you know?

  • I would like to know how the animation I just came up with would fare in that simulator.

    Let me know if you think it's worth looking into.

  • Shoot me an email: alittleweird[DOT]com[SLASH]con­tact[SLASH]

  • What did you use to make that animation?

  • @Gannon2145 Idiots hold themselves back.

  • @smlefo And some push backwards. The physics

    that is incomplete isn't the physics we already know.

  • I got an Idea for a wheel, I'm sure it got some promise to it. if you can make the computer model for it.

  • @smlefo and idiots hold us back

  • Looks like a promising design, but designs like this often look good on paper.

    You should try to build it.

  • The theory of the big bang doesn't mean that everything came from nothing. Before the big bang there was something. It wasn't energy, it wasn't matter, it wasn't both. I don't know the current status of the theory, but as far as I know there was basically a "soup" of randomly changing, amplifying and attenuating quantum states.

    But it doesn't really matter. What matters is that energy doesn't come from nothing. God didn't just sit on a Bessler wheel and let things happen.

  • MetaKnight245:

    Your assumption that if I believe in God and that he created the universe that it came from something is in err because God is the Nothing that was before the anything. And made it out of Himself, Nothing. All matter and energy come from that Nothing. The I AM. Even though there may have been a big bang, there was no stuff before it. At least in my theory which is as valid as any other unproven theory out there.

  • Your point that nothing in this universe has ever been still, is correct. The implication, however, that this proves the existence of perpetual motion is not correct.

    If you believe in God, there's a being who once created the universe.

    If you believe in the Big Bang, there was an event when the universe started existing.

    Because there has been energy at one point, energy will always be. It doesn't have anything to do with perpetual motion.

  • templedog69, what is an "obstetrical"

    The dictionary says it is of or relating to the profession of obstetrics or the care of women during and after pregnancy.

  • OK, all you "debunkers" are so smart; name one SINGLE THING in the HISTORY of the UNIVERSE that has ever been still. Since, you can't do that; you must admit that "perpetual motion" is the rule in this Universe. You must live in a different one. Case closed, forever.

    It is only on this planet where gravity and friction are so large that it is difficult to get synchronously moving object to take different paths.
