After conciderations above to Inertia and Gravity at Wheels it´s obvious to design a wheel within a wheel, e.g. as show in EVGIG 11. A gear-rim (ZK) shall be turnable around a system axis (SA), beared within a housing (here not shown). With inner teeth of gear-rim a rotor-gear-wheel (RO) shall be in connetion. At this rotor, effective masse shall be installed excentrically, here marked by a masse point (MP).
The rotor is turnabel beared (RL) on a rotor arm (RT), whicht itself is turnable around system axis. At the other side of the rotor arm, a couter-weight (GG, German Gegengewicht) is installed. By this shall be achieved, first the rotor will stay in connection (by teeths) with the gear-rim, second the rotor will be in a ´state of suspense´ outside left.
Weight of rotor thus will be supported on the one hand at the system axis (SA), via rotor bearing (RL) and rotor arm (RT), while the rotor arm practically a ´seesaw´ will be with counter weight (GG). On the other hand, weight of rotor will be supported by the gear-rim (ZK) via its connection by teeth. Depending on actual position of masse point (MP), partly weights are spread corresponding to length of each lever arm.
By static view, momentums at gear-rim are balanced: when the masse is positioned quit outside, masse will pull down the gear-rim; when the masse is positioned downside or upside, masse will be supported but by the counter-weight; when the masse is positioned quit inside, it will press the gear-rim upwards. In order to keep the rotor arm in horicontal position, in sum, counter-weight should be same amount than weight of masse and rotor will show in middle position.
If however the gear-rim will turn, the rotor also will turn, and forces will become asymmetric. In principle, masse will weight (1) at the rotor arm but at a middle position, while inside masse might be without weight (0) and at outside position may press down the gear-rim by double weigth (2). After the gear-rim started turning, it will turn constant speed, based at its heavy weight. The rotor arm however will be pressed down by different weights, thus will show swinging movements.
When the masse point will be outside, rotor arm will have to carry null weight and thus swing upwards. By this motion, rotor turning will accelerate, masse will swing downside-inward, thus will pull down the rotor arm again. Masse thereby will move relatively parallel to the gear-rim, thus will ´hang´ between both supports for some time. Correspondingly, counter weight will swing outwards, at longer lever arm will have more and more effect, thus will decelerate the downward motion of rotor. Thereby the masse will be slinged inside and upward, around the rotor bearing.
Inside, the masse will show no weigth, so the counter weigt may swing back. Thus masse will come earlier into upside position, there the rotor arm is pressed down again by weight. Afterward the masse will weight more and more at the gear-rim, so the rotor arm may go up again, as mentioned above.
By this first concept shall be achieved in principle, gravity weight won´t find a constant and equal counter-force - cause the rotor bearing resp. rotor arm gets out of way when pressed down. Weight resp. forces thus are stored into pendulum-movements of counter weight, and some time later this energy may produce lift. Optimum angle of rotor arm and optimal weight of counter masse could be calculated resp. must be tested by experiments. Might be, a counter masse at nearby vertical direction of rotor arm would show best effects.
It must be an aim to achieve a motion track of masse point, which will show two different segments. Outside the masse point should move slow (while turning around the rotor axis some 150 degrees), thus most near and parallel to the gear-rim, at flat section of an ellipse-like track. The other section of track (remaining some 210 degrees turning around rotor axis) should be done correspondingly faster, where the masse is slinged inside and upward around rotor axis, like sharp section of an elliptic track. Corresponingly, weight and inertia might show even more asymmetry of resulting forces.
It might be possible, this aim can be realized with this very first concept, using a pendulum with counter weight. Heavy weights outside (2 to 1 units) will press down the gear-rim (turning momentum) and rotor arm (swing out counter weight) as well, within a common movement downwards. Light weights inside (1 to 0) are brought upward again, preferrably by slinging around the rotor axis (but radial pressure at system axis) and back-swinging of pendulum (thus stroke resp. lift). If movements of pendulum and masse are coordinated well, this wheel might turn continously by itself.
Two wheels within a wheel
This counter weight above doesn´t have direct effects. So it should be checked, whether this ´passive´ masse couldn´t be replaced by a second rotor wheel with excentric masse. In EVGIG 12 upside, thereto the rotor arm (RT) is shown as a horicontal rod, on which right side a second wheel is installed correspondingly. The gear-rim (ZK) here is but marked by circle sections.
Rotor right side will turn analog to left side, so in principle will show same forces and vectors. Its masse point at position outside right will be without weight (0), thus can be lifted by gear-rim easily. At middle positions weights (1) will at least be neutral. Weight (2) of masse in inner position will be transferred into lift at gear-rim via ´seesaw´ at rotor-bearing. However, right side and left side as well, not only these vertical weight components may be looked at, but real vectors of resulting forces must be concidered.
At any case, rotor bearing right side will be pulled downward stronger than left side. Forces at both sides of the rotor arm are different, this rotor arm would show a tendency to counter-turning (here clockwise).
In order to reduce or avoid this tendency, at EVGIG 12 downside, a third wheel is added to this conception. The rotor arm (RT) does show further downward (e.g. here half-circle-shaped) and on this rotor arm a supporting gear wheel (SZ, German Stützzahnrad) is installed, turnable around its axis (SL, German Stützlager). This gear wheel will be in connection with both rotor gear wheels. Like above, this rotor arm may swing around system axis, thus inclusive these three wheels.
This supporting wheel, now will partly take weights of right side rotor and transfere forces to rotor left side. Opposite, each momentum of left-side-rotor will be transmitted to right side. This rotor arm inclusive supporting wheel hanging downside system axis, by itself will be a pendulum. Depending of masses installed at left and right rotor, it should be able to create resonant movements of masses and pendulum.
So by this concept again will be achieved, rotor bearings may move off. At basic chapter above was mentioned however, rotors preferrably shouldn´t have any shaft or central bearing. Indeed, here rotor bearings wouldn´t be neccessary, each rotor could just be supported be teeth-connection with gear-rim and supporting gear wheel.
Above this, a rotor should show most large diameter, so masse may have effect at most long lever arms. Both aspects will be covered by following third concept.
Ring within wheel with fix supporting wheel
At EVGIG 13 schematically a cross- and longitudinal-section view is shown. The gear-rim (ZK) will be turnable by a shaft around system axis (SA). Within the gear-rim a rotor gear wheel (RO) will be turnable, here however the rotor will be ring-shaped, thus without a central rotor bearing. At the rotor, again masse points (MP) are marked at diverse positions.
The rotor will be supported resp. guided by a supporting gear wheel (SZ) analog conception above. Instead of bearing within a rotor arm, here however this supporting wheel shall be beared (SL) directly within the housing, free turnable. At longitudinal section view below, now this housing (GE) is shown. Within the housing, the gear-rim is beared both sides, the gear-rim is open at one side (here downside), the supporting wheel is beared but one side (here from downside) by a shaft (SL). Position of supporting wheel at this longitudinal view resp. this view top-down is marked but schematically, partly overlapping with the rotor.
Weight of rotor as a whole, here is excentric to system axis. Nevertheless by static view, no momentum will exist. Based at teeth-connection quit right side, the gear may press but in horicontal direction, thus but a horicontal-radial pulling at sytem axis will exist. Weight of rotor will press onto the supporting wheel, thus pressure will exist there towards downside-right. So these forces but will have effect towards shafts resp. bearings and thus will show tension within materia of housing.
If now however, gear-rim will turn, also rotor-ring will turn. Absolute speed of both turnings will be same, angle-speed of rotor will be faster, in relation of radius. By rotors turning, resulting forces will exist as mentioned above. However these forces now can´t have any effect towards a rotor shaft (cause there is none). Only at these both supports, left side at gear-rim and right-below at supporting wheel, these forces will work.
As discussed above, by turning of a rotor, its weights will be shifted (here to left side). Not only vertical (weight-) components must be looked at, but resulting forces by itself will have effect in each direction. Vectors of all masse points upside position quit right do show to left, later on further downwards, at left position totally downward. Even there is no spoke nore shaft, this ring will transfere these forces to the teeth-connections. Thus, these strong forces in direction left-downward will press onto teeths of gear-rim, so will effect turning momentum.
Masse points in positions left and downside, do show vectors more and more to right side. These, still strong forces will have effect also primarily to teeths of gear-rim. Only these small forces of masse points in positions nearby supporting wheel, will have effect to this wheel, partly by negative and partly positive momentum. Forces at supporting wheel thus will be neutral and are without importance. At the gear-rim however, forces will have effect in turning sence.
As mentioned above, by static view this supporting wheel will produce counter-forces to weight of rotor. The gear-rim can produce counter-pressure but in horiconatal direction, thus radial to system axis (one tip of a rotor-teeth will be in a valley of gear-rim). This pressure will exist whether the rotor is turning or not. Also the supporting wheel, won´t show any resistance counter rotors turning. When rotor is turning however, teeths of gear-rim may well be able to take forces in tangential direction (downside flank of rotor teeth will press onto an upside flank of gear-rim teeth).
As now every masse point while turning will show a positive momentum in sum, instead of one excentric masse point also many masse points may be installed, will say a ring with concentric masse can well be used here.
Position of supporting wheel here is but marked schematically, an optimum position could also be lower or higher. Opposite to this, teeths connection of gear-rim and rotor-ring must be exactly quit outside, here left side. For example, the gear-rim can´t be replaces by a gear wheel within the rotor upside right (as know by common experiments failed), cause then pressure and pulling forces all time will be radial.
However also this concept is not quit well, cause bearing of supporting wheel is but at one side. So next concept will show an other variation, might be within Bessler-Wheel was used.
Ring within wheel with pendulum-supporting-wheel
Like above, so at EVGIG 14 the gear-rim (ZK) will be turnable around system axis (SA), its shaft beared within the housing (GE). Also the rotor ring (RO) with its teeths connection at gear-rim is identical to above. The supporting wheel (SZ) however, here is beared no longer within the housing, but its bearing (SL) will be installed within a rotor arm (RT). This rotor arm may swing around system axis. Here this rotor arm is shown like a segment of a circle, its weight should be dimensioned that kind, it may hold the rotor in position shown here. As one can see at longitudinal section view resp. at this view top-down, this maschine can be constructed symmetric and all shafts are beared well.
If now, instead of a closed housing but a rack with bearings will be used, the gear-rim will look like a free turning round cylinder, like Bessler-Wheel. At desciptions of Bessler-wheel it´s told about rattling noises, might be of simple wood-gear-wheels. Also wooden pieces might have been installed, in order to hold distance between weights and wheel, might be in order to effect that horicontal pressure mentioned above. However there are no detailed informations reported about Bessler-wheel, so quit other solutions might exist. Nevertheless a wheel like shown by this concept here, after a first start might turn again and again.
Without any doubt, already by static view the masse of rotor is excentric to system axis. Even higher asymmetry of forces will be, when rotor ring will turn. At chapters above, as an example that beam scale was mentioned. This concept here, won´t it realize this analogism?
Both supports of rotor here, in principle ´scale pans´ are. Both are free turnable around system axis. The support gear wheel thereby will take pressure in direction downside-right. This ´scale pan´ wouldn´t show this pressure, but might swing a little bit to left or right. That support at gear-rim now, a ´scale pan´ in an upright position might be looked at. Also at this scale radial pressure will exist and also this support won´t show this pressure.
Special at this scale pans however will be, weights will pass tangentially in front of. At the supporting wheel, this won´t effect anything, cause weights of masse points by this motion sometimes will press onto a flank ahead or flank backside of teeths. Thus these pressures at a whole will compensate to null at this support wheel.
Opposite, pressure of motion alongside the gear-rim, all times will show same direction, all times downward. By commonly used teeths of gears, one can´t imagine well this transfer of presssure. Gear wheels normally are not designed to be pressed towards each other. So probably special teeth should be designed for this application.
But imagine, instead of gear wheels here normal car tyres would be used, and accordingly ´tyre-rims´ (turned inside out). Them that rotor-tyre would press counter that rim-tyre and thus transfer that horicontal, radial pressure. While rolling alongside each other, of corse the rotor-tyre would transfer its downward directed pressure towards the rim-tyre, thus producing turning momentum )like a car tyre will press vertical onto the road and same time will transfer thrust). So, instead of gear by teeths preferably would be used running surfaces of rubber or plastic with good friction.
So, it might well be, the rim will show turning momentum resp. here resulting asymmetric forces may be used for power-output of this system. Thus, previous concept of a fix supporting wheel and this concept here with a pendulum supporting wheel might be solutions of Besslers technology.
Wheel next wheel and supporting wheel
This pendulum-version would be a spectacular solution, cause like at Bessler-wheel but a cylinder and a shaft would turn, without any contakt to other devices. However, inside there is a rotor arm with counter weigt, thus ´unproductive´ masse and constructional demands - a pendulum wich doesn´t swing much. On the other hand, that version above with support wheel beared within housing, but only one sided, no sufficient solution might be.
Both negative aspects to avoid, that´s tried to achieve by next chapter Centrifugal-Gravity-Motor. There in addition, once more will be discussed why which component of forces might be used.
