( Before reading this, please be a Bessler enthusiast,
or read the Besslerwheel links provided on this site first :-)
As we Bessler enthusiasts know, Bessler left alot of written clues,
in writings and drawings.
Both to enshure the secret is not lost forever, and to make his own "patent"
if someone should invent a smilar machine, or steel his secret and claim it as his own.Then Bessler could point at the clues, and show what they ment, as they where
public writings, and the date of publication would be known.
I have found the largest amount of clues to be from his writing : "Apologia"
and the major clues are linked to his Machinen Tractate.
(Minor clues is not discussed here)
The phamplet ends with a drawing like this :
( More exact copy can be found on www.orffyre.com )
Then a quote from the poem / metafore from the same phamplet :
"All things belongs to one of three kingdoms..."
So my first guess is that with Bessler Machinen Tractate and Apologia in hand,
his "patent" is possible to "decode".
He intended to publish this book after the wheel was sold.
(including the working princple)
I understand that the book never was published as the wheel never was sold !
As you can read both on www.besslerwheel.com and www.orffyre.com
the text intro.was this :
Further demonstrations regarding the possibility and impossibility
of perpetual motion.
NB. 1st May, 1733. Due to the arrest, I burned and buried all papers that prove the possibility. However, I have left all demonstrations and experiments, since it would be difficult for anybody to see or learn anything about a perpetual motion from them or to decide whether there was any truth in them because no illustration by itself contains a description of the motion; however, taking various illustrations together and combining them with a discerning mind, it will indeed be possible to look for a movement and, finally to find one in them.
Orffyreus
I have pondered upon this along time, and I believe I have sorted out what this code
is all about.
As I believe this was to protect him from people stealing his principle/wheel or break in and take a look inside one of his wheels, I believe the clue MUST be mathematically as that is
the only way to make the coding 100% believable.
Too "far out" stories would not be believed (I guess)
First the biblical refferance : Math. XV (15) v.16.......
In the original Maschinen Tractate, drawing number 15 and 16 is on the same page !
Next, the white ereas of the above drawing covers excactly 22,5 degrees of the circle.
(At the the outher / rim erea) 360 degrees devided on 22,5 = 16 !
As I have found, there is only one drawing with 16 "systems" and that is number 15 !
(The wheel is devided into 16 equal sectors)
Drawing nr. 15 is also 1 of 3 drawings designed to run counter-clockwize.
(Drawing nr.4, 13 and 15 is originally drawn to run counter-clockwize)
Next we can see that the drawing has 3 parts, black or white.
And to back that up, the text says : All things belongs to one of 3 kingdoms...
(speculaton follows) :
One of three is the same as 1/3 or devided by three.
So the clue writings must be devideable by 3.
And the sum must not be 3, and the answer must have 1 digit !
(No "pair-numbers")
This may seem far out, since I do not know the decoding "formula" for shure,
but it strictly follows a 1 and 3 roule !
9 can be devided by 1 = 9 / 3 = 3 ( Rouled out )
15 can be devided by 1 = 15 / 3 = 5
21 can be devded by 1 = 21 / 3 = 7
27 can be devded by 1 = 27 / 3 = 9 / 3 = 3 ( Rouled out )
33 can be devded by 1 = 33 / 3 = 11 ( Rouled out )
.
.
141 is the total number of drawings in the book.
(It is also devidable by 3) and not a "pair number"
And it almost looks like he had to fill the book up to 141 as some of the last drawings
is repeating themselfs etc...
As a curiosity : Bessler was coded to Orffyre(us) by delaying the letters in Besslers name
by 13 letters in the alphabet.
The Apologia drawing above can also be used as a frame to put on top of drawing nr. 15.
Then what we can see through the white ereas and it shows us the main motion ?:
(copied from www.orffyre.com)
I also believe that Drawing nr.13 is just a "distraction" drawing, as 13 would be the first and simplest clue, that any decoding would lead to !
Drawing nr.21 also holds another clue, and that is :
It is drawn to perform total impossible motion, unless it is connected to another system !
Copy of all these drawings I have reffered to, can be found at www.orffyre.com
Special thanx to Scott Ellis of www.Besslerwheel.com for running that site, and
exchanging ideas, resaults and information for several years.
Thanx to John Collins for historical research and "digging up" all the information
in the first place, visit his site : www.free-energy.co.uk
Thanx to Bill McMurtry for making these drawings publicly available !
Visit his site : www.orffyre.com
Next I will try to link one more clue, or combination of clues.
That is another quote from the same "Apologia" :
"The quality of the elements is neccesaryto keep things going" :
From about year 325 - 270 BC lived a man, by the name Euclid.
He was a greek geometer who wrote THE ELEMENTS..
The worlds definitive text on geometry.
http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/biography/Euclid.html
The work consists of 13 books.
If we should follow the 1 and 3 philosophy, it will demand that the "secret"
is hided in book nr.1 and 3
Book nr. 1 is about triangles.
One of the figures look like this :
Seen anything similar before ?
Next, if we look in book number 3 of the elements,
that contains material about circles,
we find this :
These two circles indicats arms behaving/connected like MT15
(described above) and second principle (MT 21)
This is my contribution to the decoding the "patent" of Bessler / Orffyreus wheels !
(So far)
