Caution.  This technical paper takes an unusual position of sometimes talking about science and
religion at the same time.  If doing such goes against your religion or your science, then you are
cautioned about reading this paper.

Warning.  Some things described in this paper are potentially dangerous.  People should avoid
physical contact with an operating Bessler pendulum, especially the heavy pointed end.


                            Abstract

Johann Ernst Elias Bessler (1680 or 1681 - 1745) (also known as Orffyreus for reasons that
should be made clear in this paper) wrote in 1717 a book, Poetica Apologia.  That book or
booklet (Apologia) contained encoded passages that symbolically describe the "perpetual
motion" machines that he built which were each covered by a horizontal axle wheel.  Bessler
built, publicly displayed, allowed tests performed upon, and destroyed four such wheels at the
locations:  Gera, Draschwitz, Merseberg, and Kassel.  I think that each of these wheels contained
a single mechanical-power-extraction device that I call a Bessler pendulum.  Though the Bessler
pendulum was completely enclosed in a wheel to conceal the invention, it was also enclosed for
safety reasons and to protect it from dust, moisture, and wind.  The energy wasteful sounds and
vibrations from the falling weights (hitting the inner rim of their rotating covering wheel) within
the Merseburg and Kassel versions of Bessler's wheel were mainly a distraction to help protect
the Bessler pendulum invention.  My thoughts are based partly on my decoding of the "little
book" encoded passages within Apologia.  The possibility of decoding these passages was
expressed by Mr. John Collins in his 1997 book Perpetual Motion: An Ancient Mystery Solved?. 
Collins considered that these passages might be very important in understanding the secret of
Bessler's 1717 wheel.  Collins' apparent belief in the importance of these passages was correct.
                                                              1
Collins built an exceptionally strong or historically authentic case that Bessler's wheel was an
actual "perpetual motion" machine (in the 1717 sense used by Bessler) which produced
mechanical power.  There was much experimental evidence or historical support for Bessler's
"perpetual motion" wheels.  Many people (during and since the time of Bessler) have held
theory to be of greater importance than the experimental evidence produced by Bessler.  Many
people have not understood the complete theory or misapplied the theory that they did
understand.  For example, the standard theory typically ignores the idea that mass "points" can
have internal rotational kinetic energy which can each be modified by selectively constrained
interaction with the relatively large spin two graviton.  The higher regard for theory over
evidence was so great that it polarized the thinking of many scientists, helped purge the
evidences produced by Bessler, and even altered the definition of the term "perpetual motion". 
Typical modern definitions of perpetual motion machines prohibit such machines from having
an external source of power.  Bessler claimed that his devices were powered by gravity.  Any
device which actually is able to repetitively extract mechanical power from an external power
source of gravity would thus not be considered to be a perpetual motion device according to such
modern definitions.

Bessler was the true mortal inventor of the Bessler pendulum.  Collective evidence for this is
found in many sources, including my interpretation of a portion of Bessler's writings.  Bessler's
"little book" was a parable that symbolically discusses the most important secrets within
Bessler's wheel, usually from a visual perspective that provides glimpses of the fully operating
device within.  My interpretation of Bessler's "little book" includes decoding seven levels of
hidden chiastic structure.  The chiasmus is a literary or poetic form found in many ancient
writings including The Holy Bible and The Book of Mormon:  Another Testament of Jesus
Christ.  Bessler's "little book" is also surrounded by three chiastic levels (shown on the first and
last pages of Bessler's Apologia) thus making the Apologia a tenth level extended chiasm.  As
an example of a fifth level extended chiasm showing opposites, if (1) Bessler could work very
(2) hard or with much restraint to keep his (3) little book quite (4) small using (5) compact
symbols, then the important (5) decoded symbols after partial expansion can be allowed to
become quite (4) large in the (3) big paper written with more (2) ease or rather less restraint by
(1) Park.  The caution above contains a third level extended chiasm.
                                                              2
My interpretation suggests that Bessler made use of clean unlubricated devices, which I call
Orffyrean roller bearings.  The standard Orffyrean roller bearing probably contained six small
rollers surrounding a larger central roller.  Surrounding the six rollers is an Orffyrean sleeve
composed of many Orffyrean sleeve wheels.  Each small roller is composed of many standard
Orffyrean sprocket wheels.  Each standard Orffyrean sprocket wheel probably contained six
circular-edged lobes.  By cooperatively taking turns at weight bearing, these sprocket wheels
allowed very low friction through many very small pivots.  This was done by means of small
circles rolling within sectors of circles of slightly larger radii.  The smaller circles had static
contact as they rolled without slipping.  My thoughts are speculative, because I know of no
correctly working model of the Bessler pendulum, nor of the Orffyrean roller bearing, nor of the
Orffyrean sprocket wheels.  I hope that it will not be long before someone builds these devices. 
I have tried to give written instructions as well as diagrams in my front figure that describe how
to build a working Bessler pendulum.  Speculative conditions, for stopping and resuming the
torque governor wheel, are specified in this paper.  However this paper does not include:  (1) the
full mechanical details of the sensors (for maximum angles and for near vertical angles), (2) the
torque-governor-sprocket-wheel's stopping and resumption mechanisms (which probably uses a
pivoting bar and a tube spring, but has mechanisms I do not fully understand), (3) the nature of
maintaining an asymmetrical imbalance requiring internal rotation in a single direction (either
clockwise or counterclockwise) of the large and small chain-connected sprocket wheels, (4) the
related precise method(s) of removing power from working pendula, (5) any proven solution to
the Orffyrean sleeve wheels, and (6) a complete physical description addressing precisely why
the Bessler pendulum works.  I wonder if (by allowing for a slot in the anvil) I should have
drawn (in my front figure) the dual pointed anvil even closer to or surrounding the outer edge of
the small wheel, so as to possibly allow for greater (though low friction) photon interaction
between the two materials containing the rotating nuclear ground states.
                                                               
Bessler was a phenomenal student of such things as science, mathematics, languages, and
mechanics.  Among his many skills, he knew how to build clocks, watches, mills, and organs. 
He also understood smelting and casting.  He was certainly capable of building the machine I
have described in this paper.  Bessler was able to extract power from his dual-pointed anvil-
pendulum by making the rotational analog of matter (moment of inertia) appear and disappear at
will in a rotationally accelerated physical pendulum environment.  He carefully extracted and
preserved slight amounts of internal rotational kinetic energy by carefully timing internal-
rotational state changes.  He did these things with the assistance of his large load-bearing roller
bearings which were nearly frictionless.  One can visually think of letting go or casting a large
diameter fishing reel (without a line) when that light reel end is at the greatest height directly
above the pivot point of the physical pendulum, so as to collect the reel's maximum internal
rotational kinetic energy.  In the nearly frictionless environment provided by Bessler's special
roller bearings, the reel (actually the torque-governor wheel, which is like a normal yet enlarged
bicycle sprocket wheel, except that its interior mass is almost completely filled in) would still be
slowly rotating when the heavy anvil-weight (near the small wheel which is also on the opposite
end about the pendulum pivot) comes to a stop at its maximum height.  This remaining internal
rotational kinetic energy was extracted by stopping this torque governor wheel, so as to increase
the angular amplitude of the new wheel-pendulum entity (similar to a very large filled-in bicycle
sprocket wheel connected to a smaller filled-in bicycle sprocket wheel by a tight chain).  This
new wheel-pendulum entity is also firmly attached by its two special roller bearings to the
pendulum.  The torque-governor wheel is intermediate in size compared to the very large and
smaller sprocket wheels in the wheel-pendulum entity.

For the internal rotations and displacements of the nuclei with respect to their atomic "dog huts",
there is apparently not gravitational spin symmetry for the nuclei in the anvil (for comparing the
anvil going down and up).  This asymmetry may be influenced by such things as the proximity to
the continually rotating small wheel, the large rotationally accelerating situations within the
Bessler pendulum, the anvil "hitting" the bottom of its pendulum cycle, the large spin of the
graviton, and the delayed angular momentum received from the torque governor wheel.  It
appears that the Bessler pendulum forms an unusual angular momentum bridge between the
subatomic and the large macroscopic.  Assuming the device actually works, the scope of
Bessler's invention is nothing short of ingenious if not revelation from God.
                                                              3
Although I consider my attempt to symbolically interpret Bessler's "little book" to be
speculative and incomplete, I believe it is an excellent starting point in explaining the restoration
of ideas and technology relating to the repeated mechanical extraction of mechanical power
from gravity.  My paper also refers to other potential modern methods for power extraction and
materials processing.  Various hybrid technologies are suggested, such as combining the
Orffyrean roller bearing technology with either some electromagnetic (EM) over-unity engines
or Collins' speculative yin-yang device. My paper also contains a speculative suggestion, based
on reasonable evidence, that the sun may produce energy primarily from gravity instead of from
hot fusion.  One should recall that the common or currently-prevailing scientifically-popular
belief that the sun obtains its power from hot fusion is itself theoretical or actually especially
speculative in nature as the physical evidence does not support it.

I imagine that when the first modern day versions of Bessler's pendula are successfully
simulated or built, we might better understand how Bessler's multi-level "little book" and other
things within Apologia should have been interpreted.  Collins speculated that the Biblical
references contained in Orffyreus' declaration of faith (a separate section of the Apologia) might
need to be decoded.  I have found that dual symbolic interpretations do apply to these
approximately 140 Biblical references, but I discuss very little about them in this paper.  In
addition to commonly understood meanings, they also either were symbolic of his pendulum or
were somehow comparable to his personal situation relative to God.  I encourage the readers of
this paper to study these scriptural references for greater understanding.  Also, there appears to
be much further symbolism (related to God and this universe and discoverable within the fully
working Bessler pendulum itself) which has only been slightly discussed in this paper.

also want to visit http://www.free-energy.co.uk/ which is John Collins' Internet site and
http://www.infinite-energy.com/ which specifies the Internet site for the magazine Infinite

through either of these last two Internet sites.  One could also order his book by calling IE at
1(603)228-4516.  On 1 November 2000, I bought an extra copy of Collins' book (to loan out to
reviewers).  I can now also loan out that book to interested people.  I have noticed much interest
in Collins' book among those reviewers to whom I loaned it.  John Collins' first edition book
sold out so he should soon have his second edition book available (if it is not already available). 
For further study, you might also want to borrow copies of the magazine, Infinite Energy, from
your local library.  If your library does not have a subscription to IE, I understand that all back
issues are currently available and the cost is currently quite reasonable.  The edited magazine
Infinite Energy though not a peer reviewed journal is subject to reader review feedback (Letters
to the Editor) and some experimentation review of selected promising technologies (at the IE
laboratories and the laboratories of others).  This helps keep the cost of IE quite reasonable and
helps to prevent budding ideas from being squashed purely by self-blinding overly-rigid
conventional dogma.  This increases the flow of information at a price of the reader needing to
apply some disciplined self-filtering.  I consider the need to weed out some articles by my just
ignoring them much preferable to the other self-stagnating extreme taken by some prestigious
journals in that some have seemed to mandate or define bounds on acceptable scientific theory
and experimental results.


                    Some Personal Background
                                                              7
New Mexico.  I (Alden Eugene Park where Alden means "old friend" in Anglo-Saxon) was born
on St. Lucy's day, 13 December 1953, at the old St. Joseph Hospital in Albuquerque, Bernalillo,
New Mexico, U.S.A.  As I was born on a Sunday, my oldest grandfather often referred to me
(when I was very young) as his little Jose Domingo in apparent reference to an old friend or
acquaintance of his who went by that nickname.  (Q0) Where did I acquire some of my training? 
That grandfather showed me a transformable three-dimensional optical illusion showing many
cubes that suddenly switched their inversions when viewed with "proper" study (that based on
the yellowing of the paper he had apparently long before then clipped out of something). 
[Among its many properties, Bessler's final figure in Apologia when viewed "properly" can
visually transform into a three-dimensional symbolic entity.]  My second grade teacher wrote an
interesting comment about me on my report card at the end of second grade, "Alden has a
tendancy [sic tendency] to daydream in class.  Therefore Alden's work is not started or finished
on time.  He can do the work when he wants to."  I attended the Albuquerque public schools: 
Los Altos Elementary, Hodgin Elementary, McKinley Junior High, and Del Norte High.  I was a
Cub Scout in Pack 384 which met at Hodgin Elementary School wherein I somehow attained the
Cub Scout rank of Tenderfoot.  I have a certificate of this seemingly unusual thing.  I think that
the Cub Scout program was about to make a "state" transition to the new Arrow of Light badge. 
However this happened, it allowed me to very quickly attain the rank of Tenderfoot Scout after I
joined Boy Scout Troop 169.  I learned from the ninth point of the Scout Law that "A Scout is
thrifty."  I tried to be thrifty with energy and use our resources wisely.  With time I built up a
large newspaper collection route for recycling and earning money for scouts.  I learned from the
eleventh point of the Scout Law that "A Scout is clean."  [Apparently the Bessler pendulum must
operate in a clean environment to remain working as a Bessler pendulum.]  I sometimes attended
St. Andrew Presbyterian Church.  When Troop 169 folded, I joined the newly formed Troop 443
(meeting first at Governor Bent Elementary and later at Del Norte Baptist Church).  [It is a sad
thing to see any of the world scouting units fold as it generally means that many people are
deprived of many good-citizenship building and learning experiences.]  I received the rank of
Eagle Scout from the Boy Scouts of America during my senior year in high school.  As a junior
in high school, I won the problem of the week contest at Del Norte (a contest open to all the Del
Norte students that particular year but not offered during my other years at the three year high
school).  When I began high school as a sophomore, I was apparently the worst chess player in
the Del Norte chess club but I stuck with it and by the time I was a senior (graduating class of
1971) not only did I make the chess team for the first time, but I was surprised that I qualified as
the team's first board.  [Bessler went through many failed devices before he was eventually
successful.  See Collins's book pp. 29, 40.  He just stuck with the problem and got help from as
many diverse sources of information as possible.  See Collins' book pp. 25-29, 44.]  One of my
teachers wrote in my senior yearbook, "Alden - You made Junior Humanities much more
interesting by those QUESTIONS! The Unanswerable Ones - Mrs. Cravens."  In elementary
school, I enjoyed seeing and listening to George Fischbeck talk about and have fun with science
on the educational TV station KNME.  He had great popularity among the elementary school
students and I was no exception.  He was one of my childhood heroes and he drew me his
autograph of a "fish" with a back and bubbles.  I unfortunately lost the autograph but I still have
my "CHANNEL 5 SCIENCE CLUB" certificate containing a similar printed drawing.  I also
enjoyed listening to him give a special sermon one Sunday at a Boy Scout Camporee, as I recall
concerning the subject "Silence is Golden."  I thought he had interesting views of both science
and religion.

My parents had an effect on my training that I can't measure.  Without my asking, my dad (a
machinist who had been a sailor during WWII) built for me a "pendulum" (of sorts) out of a
piece of wood by putting a groove in its top edge so I could roll one or more marbles or large
ball bearings in it.  [On p. 23 of Collins' book, it indicates how Bessler's "father made a small
toy wheel for him to play with ..."]  My dad added handles to a bicycle wheel for me to play
with.  He gave me an old pocket watch (that didn't run) that was his father's and told me that it
had some gold in it.  He did not tell me if it contained any silver.  My dad played various games
with me, though I do not recall him playing much if any chess.  My mother grew up in the Dust
Bowl during the Great Depression.  My mother (a legal secretary prior to her child rearing days)
told me of the inventiveness of her youngest grandfather.  Long before the old civic auditorium
in Albuquerque was supposedly built in such an original fashion, he built a dome roof for his
cellar by mounding up dirt, carefully placing mutually supporting shaped rocks on top,
cementing the rocks' exterior (mainly for finish, to hold the rocks in place as opposed to primary
static structural support), and digging out the dirt interior.  When I was an adult, my mother gave
me an old hymn book (without musical notes) that belonged to her oldest great grandfather who
was a Methodist preacher and doctor (and who also according to unconfirmed family tradition
was said to be one fourth Cherokee Indian).
                                                               
I think I tended to score lower on some timed standardized tests by my being slow, careful and
thoughtful.  I wonder if I at times saw things that the question writers did not see and so I was
doubly penalized for both answering "incorrectly" and being slow (not finishing some of my
tests).
                                                               
University of New Mexico.  I began my studies at the University of New Mexico with plans of
just majoring in Mathematics, though as a freshman I did take a year of Physics for non-majors
for the fun of it.  I asked for and was granted a waiver of the first year prerequisite for Physics so
I could go directly into the third semester class so that I could proceed to minor in Physics.  With
effort expended, I went on to the Physics major track.  In 1975, I received a double major B.S.
degree in Mathematics and Physics with honors (Cum Laude) in each from the University of
New Mexico.  One of my physics professors requested that I save up all my questions until the
end of each lecture and that is what I did.  I would typically fire off a string of questions at the
end of his lectures.  I wrote a letter to the author (John D. McGervey) of one of my physics text
books, Introduction to MODERN PHYSICS, with a long list of typos (and the appropriate
corrections) that I found in his book.  He responded in a letter to me that every one of them was
a real error.  Some of them were printer's errors and the rest were his fault.  All of them needed
to be corrected and no one else had informed him of any of them.  He wrote, "That is really
remarkable - You are a very careful reader."  He thanked me twice in the letter and promised to
have the publisher send me a free copy of the corrected book which he later did do.  I had
synthesized or reconstructed many correct things by very careful study of partially flawed things.

During a senior honors physics seminar, I mentioned to one of the professors there (during a
discussion about gravity) that a larger mass should hit the ground sooner [in vacuum].  He
understandably said I should go back and review the elementary equations.  Still from his
response, he apparently didn't want me to discuss my point or rather he apparently didn't think
that there was anything to discuss (which discussion I thought was central to the seminar but I
just "backed off" and dropped the point without any further comment as it seemed that I was
treading on some ground that I should not be treading upon then).  If I had insisted on
maintaining the point, I meant separate experiments where the motion of the earth in response to
the falling mass is not ignored as is "typically" done.  This effect may not be measurable (for
normal mass sizes) and so would need to be considered as thought experimental but to claim that
"the geodesic motion of a mass is completely independent of the size of the mass falling in
gravity" is only an excellent approximation (according to the elementary equations).  To say that
"space-time curvature is completely independent of mass moving therein" is just an excellent
approximation.  Maybe to better see this point, one could go far out into "open" space and do a
series of three separate thought experiments (or actual experiments if desired).  Each experiment
being the release of two solid metal spheres toward each other.  Each sphere has the same
diameter and the two spheres are released from a fixed stationary "rest" position (of say two
sphere diameters between their centers) (without "anything" being allowed to rotate) wherein
they are then allowed to come together according to their mutual gravitational attraction.  The
time to impact is measured in each case.  (E1) In the first experiment, two gold spheres are used. 
(E2) In the second experiment, one gold sphere and one silver sphere is used.  (E3) In the third
experiment two silver spheres are used.  The density of silver is less than that of gold.  I claim
thought experimental results (according to the elementary Newtonian equations) of the gold
spheres (in experiment E1) impacting in a smaller or shorter time than the two silver spheres (in
experiment E3) and I would further claim that the gold and silver spheres (in the experiment E2)
having an impact time somewhere strictly between the other two times.  Then in comparing the
results of the first two experiments (E1 and E2) we can see somewhat of a rationale why I spoke
to my professor that the heavier mass should hit the ground sooner.  The heavier gold sphere
impacts the gold "ground" sooner than the lighter silver sphere impacts the gold "ground"
because it really is a coupled system where the "ground" is explicitly an important part of the
solution and so effects the mass being dropped.  I doubt that this interesting situation contributes
much directly to the solution of the Bessler wheel puzzle but I thought I would mention it
anyway since it deals with something that is typically approximated away in dealing with gravity
for understandable reasons.  If we only look at just part of the total solution, then the
gravitational force on a mass divided by that mass still depends very slightly upon that mass. 
The reader can take it as speculation but to say that there is a conservative force field called
gravity operating on extended actual (rotating, interacting non-ideal) massive objects is likely
just a useful approximation (when we only look at just part of the interactive solution).  Another
way of viewing this is that if we only examine a partial portion of the fully interactive situation
(when the full physics must incorporate the full situation), then gravity in this limited context is
not a field at all so that strictly speaking it certainly can not be a conservative field (in this
restricted context).  The idea of action at a distance fields can be misleading at the very least.

I scored in the country's top 500 in the 34th William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition. 
(It was a temporally long "non-standardized" test.)  Because of this, various colleges across the
country invited me to study graduate mathematics at their institutions but I decided to study
physics instead of mathematics in graduate school.

University of Colorado.  I entered graduate school at the University of Colorado to study
physics in 1975 where I initially worked as a teaching assistant.  Eventually, I passed all the
graduate course work save one credit hour for the Ph.D. in Physics.  In 1977, I passed the
comprehensive written and oral examinations for the Ph.D.  After passing those exams I worked
as a research assistant at the Nuclear Physics Laboratory.  On my own initiative, I built a solar
furnace using a Fresnel lens which mostly worked.  It did not have anything to do with my
official studies.  It was just something that I was interested in.  I also tried to build a solar stove
that did not work well because it did not retain the energy from the light that was brought
together by the many mirrors. [Years later I built a solar oven sans reflectors that worked
because it allowed the heat to accumulate within the fully enclosed glass and wood container
also using insulation.  Note that the Bessler wheel somehow had to allow the collected energy to
accumulate as it quickly grew in energy production strength.  See Collins' book pp. 16, 20, 110
for example.  Having something like a pendulum inside the Bessler's wheel would allow it to
quickly grow in energy production strength, if the pendulum were to somehow increase its swing
amplitude with every complete swing cycle.]  My 3 ft by 5 ft solar stove was standing or rather
leaning on end in a room on the second story of the building which housed the cyclotron.  One
day many of the mirrors suddenly started popping off, as the plywood and wooden wedges could
curve or bend slightly but the thick glass mirrors which I had glued on would not so flex. 
[Orffyrean technology is in large part based on slight differences of cylindrical curvatures.]  I
had quite a mess to clean up since some mirrors that popped off would fall upon other mirrors
and set them to popping.  On another occasion, I was told that I had "flooded" a part of the
cyclotron.  I apparently had accidentally flooded a portion of the cyclotron late one night though
I was never quite sure what I had done wrong as that portion was covered up to maintain
vacuum, so the consequences associated with my actions or lack thereof had to be inferred
through measurements.  It took some time to get it dried out and "pump down" the vacuum
again.  [If we don't pay very careful attention to the smallest experimental details when building
the internal powering mechanism for a Bessler wheel, we can invite disaster or at best lack of
success.]  Though I participated in group research experiments there was little evidence that I
was doing much officially of individual research credit to the university.  I did not do a
dissertation.  I just could not seem to motivate myself about doing my own research work toward
a dissertation in nuclear physics.  In hindsight, I recognize that some novel thoughts had
occurred to me while I was in graduate school (on at least two different occasions) but they were
what we currently would say are cold fusion related and I did not understand or know enough to
come up with a viably related research topic toward such a dissertation.  Anyway, the University
of Colorado kindly granted me an M.S. degree in Physics in 1979 because I had previously
passed the comprehensive examinations.  Sight unseen, I accepted the only job offer that I was
extended.  It was at China Lake, California at a navy base in the upper Mojave desert.  There is
seldom water in the normally dry China Lake except after rare major rainstorms.  Before I left
Boulder, Colorado for California, I received another job offer for more money but I had already
accepted the job at China Lake.

California.  In Jan 1980, I reported to work at the then Naval Weapons Center, at China Lake,
California, where I am still employed as a civil servant of the United States Government in the
Department of Defense.  I believe that I am being of much service to my country by working for
NAVAIR at the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division.  I have gotten to do some
computer programing which for certain tasks has caused me to be abstractly creative yet very
careful and precise.  [As is the case with the Bessler wheel, some portions of programs when
built correctly, need to operate coherently without conflict with other portions so that there is a
new type of entity created in its whole.]  I want to emphasize that my individually initiated work
on the Bessler wheel is not a part of my official government duties.  I am producing this Bessler
wheel paper as a service to mankind.  I attended Calvary Chapel from 1980 or 1981 to 1983.  I
did not start keeping a personal journal until 1983.  I would like to have referred to journal
entries of 20 or more years ago but alas I kept no such journal and I cannot turn back the clock. 
[Many times when one is trying to harvest ideas in advancing the state of the art in new scientific
areas, the prudent person really should write down somewhere at least the best ideas in scientific
fashion.  As John Collins supposed, Bessler wrote down his most important findings though he
wrote them down symbolically.]
                                                               
In 1981, I married Lindy A. Paine at the Carlisle Plaza United Methodist Church in
Albuquerque.  [Bessler seemed to secretly study (for many long years) the entire world in his
quest toward his invention.  With the help of God, he had a strangely invigorating dream, quickly
constructed his working invention, and then quickly got married to the daughter of a physician
whom he hadn't previously met.  Though I met Lindy long ago in second grade, I quickly got
married to Lindy 21 years later.  Then many years later, with little prior study of Bessler's
problem, I relatively quickly (for me and relative to the three century problem) decoded (with
the help of God) Bessler's hidden chiastic parable without actually constructing the working
invention.  Instead of keeping my Bessler wheel discoveries secret, I am publishing to the world
as many of my findings as I imagine that the world is ready for.]  Lindy was the daughter of a
mechanic (a chief motor machinist mate during WWII) and a nurse (prior to beginning their
family, an officer in the Army Air Corps during WWII).  After getting married, I learned that at
one time Lindy's family had been next door neighbors to the Fischbeck family and that Mr. and
Mrs. George Fischbeck, were sponsors [meaning godparents] when Lindy was baptized as an
infant in St. Timothy's Evangelical Lutheran Church.  In 1983, my wife and I both were baptized
by immersion into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  We were then living within
the boundaries of the Ridgecrest Third Ward.  Church members somewhat take turns holding
different church positions [in similar fashion to the Orffyrean roller bearing].  I have had an
assortment of church callings (which may be considered as voluntary, monetarily-unpaid church
jobs).  I am currently a Home Teacher in the Ridgecrest First Ward and a staff member at the
local Family History Center (though without an official calling to it).  In August 2000, I changed
from being a Ward Clerk to being a First Counselor in an Elders Quorum Presidency.  In
September 2000, I changed from being a Committee Member for Boy Scout Troop 68 to a
Committee Member for Varsity Scout Team 68.  I have learned with time that God could help
me solve my problems both technical and otherwise (assuming I did my part, sought his help,
and waited with patience for the Lord to respond in his own way which often could be through
the help of others or my own efforts if it were possible).  [On p. 24 of Collins' book, it indicates
that Bessler claimed he was "successively a Cleric, a Doctor and finally a Mathematician".  I
almost did things in the opposite order as I got a dual B. S. degree in Mathematics and Physics, I
was working toward a Ph.D. for about four years, and I became a Ward Clerk.  In the
correspondence I got back from Fusion Technology, they assumed I had a Ph.D. when they
referred to me as Dr. so I had to correct them by explaining how I only had an M.S. degree.]

Cold Fusion.  My interest in cold fusion was sparked by hearing over the pulpit my then Bishop
Lowell Wilkins speak of the experimental success that fellow ward member, Mel Miles, had. 
My interest was further sparked by attending a lunchtime presentation (on 19 June 1991) of
experimental results by Dr. Miles prior to his going to the Second Annual Conference on Cold
Fusion, Como, Italy (29 June - 4 July 1991).  In November. 1993 while living within the
boundaries of the Ridgecrest Second Ward, I had my somewhat unusual paper "Some Thoughts
on a Simple Mechanism for the 2H + 2H -> 4He Cold Fusion Reaction" published in Volume 24
of the peer reviewed journal Fusion Technology of the American Nuclear Society.  The
individually initiated paper was not published as part of my official government duties.  I was
quite excited about doing the paper but the paper had to be labeled as speculative.  I think that
the simple rotation-of-things is an overlooked area in many fields [whether it is the fusion of
internally rotating nuclear ground states of deuterium to form a new highly rotating nuclear-
ground-state entity of helium or it is the fusion of two rotating sprocket wheels by means of a
chain to create a new composite wheel-pendulum entity].  My personal speculative opinion is
that most if not all cold fusion phenomena (wherein nuclear reactions occur at apparently low
energies) can be simply explained at least qualitatively from a consideration of the interaction of
internally rotating nuclear-ground-states.  This essentially requires no new theory other than not
ignoring an academic subtlety of there being often ignored unquantized internal angular
velocities of the quantized nuclear-ground-states.  My 1993 paper was a theoretical example of a
nuclear reaction through the interaction of internally rotating nuclear-ground-states.  [It may
appear that I am now badly digressing from the Bessler wheel problem but I am doing so to help
drive home a crucial point that I suspect has been hitherto lacking or missing in most analyses of
the Bessler wheel problem.  That is rather than being purely interested in the motion of separate
"point" masses or weights within the wheel that are subject to "conservative" force "field"
analysis, one should pay much attention to extended masses with quite internal rotations that can
be caused to change their states of rotations relative to one another.  Both the cold fusion and the
Bessler wheel problems are similar in that what actually happened has been hidden from our
view (the one by spatial size and the other by time if not also by spatial size).  Both problems
may also be similar if their solutions involve the notion of internal angular momenta.  If I can
help solve one problem, maybe my thoughts on the other should be given consideration.  The
rotations of the two pairs of nucleons shown in my cold fusion paper was somewhat comparable
to the motion of two rotating bicycle wheels or of two linked bicycle sprocket wheels with them
additionally being able to rotate around each other.  I now continue my "side" background
discussion regarding internally rotating nuclear-ground-states.]
                                                             13
To try to come to grips with the existence of such rotations (that I believe in principle can bridge
the atomic and nuclear situations), a thought experimental question such as the following can be
asked, (Q1) "Does there exist a single rotating-coordinate-system with respect to which a large
collection of 4He nuclear-ground-states (each of quantum nuclear spin zero) such that every 4He
nuclear-ground-state has precisely zero internal-angular-velocity?"  The question is thought
experimental as we do not actually need to measure each nuclear system and thereby alter or
quantize the individual systems being measured (by any normal measurement process itself). 
The translational kinetic energies of unbounded (or free) nuclear-ground-states are unquantized. 
Assuming a temperature above absolute zero, their ground-state kinetic energies are not bound
or frozen in kinetic energy with respect to some translational coordinate system.  (Q2) Assuming
a temperature above absolute zero, why should we assume that the rotationally free or
unconstrained nuclear-ground-states are bound or frozen (with respect to internal rotation) to
some rotational coordinate system?  [A freely rotating sprocket wheel located far out in the
vacuum of free space may have very small but effectively unquantized amounts of internal
rotational kinetic energy.]  There are many other questions one can ask regarding the extent of
nuclear states being internally rotationally frozen in angular velocity with respect to each other. 
I spoke with Dr. Eugene F. Mallove (the Editor-in-Chief of Infinite Energy) on the Laura Lee
radio talk show of 9 Aug. 1997.  I noted that a century ago there was a question as to whether or
not there existed a universal coordinate system with respect to which the speed of light was a
constant.  I basically asked him the question (Q3) "Does there exist a single universal rotational-
coordinate-system with respect to which all spin zero 4He nuclear-ground-states have precisely
zero angular velocity?"  Note that the angular velocity being referred to (in questions Q1 and
Q3) is not that due to external translational velocity of each nucleus as a whole with respect to
the coordinate system but rather it is the residual internal angular velocity of each nucleus.  I
think that any nuclear physicist who tries to poke fun at cold fusion should first try to answer
such questions as these and then to carefully ponder the implications of the answers.  Still,
people refusing to examine the data (or refusing to admit that the large body of accumulated
information in favor of cold fusion even exists) are especially likely not to consider questions
related to any potential explanation of such data.  On the other hand, they seem to be the first to
say that such results cannot occur based on the "laws" of physics.  A decade of many physicists
ignoring or deriding cold fusion by denying that the phenomena even exists is a decade too
many.  It is time that they seriously begin to consider the preponderance of the evidence (rather
than being swayed by outdated faulty information previously propagated in the politically
popular press).  There is some evidence that more physicists are starting to take cold fusion
much more seriously.  I have included just a few references on cold fusion in my references and
notes section.  One should recall that physics is an experimental science so we should not toss
out the data just because it does not match somebody's popular theory.  If people only want to
deal with the theory, I suggest they might begin by attempting to answer my theoretical questions
but they need not confine themselves to just my questions as many other people have proposed
many other theoretical ideas regarding cold fusion.  Maybe I am overlooking something and then
again maybe I have come across something so basic and simple that it is almost universally
ignored for whatever reasons.  From the usual perspective of nuclear scattering experiments with
measurements typically on the order of MeV, the existence of any residual rotations with
energies on the order of eV or less was generally and reasonably considered inconsequential (at
least until cold fusion made its appearance with special interactive situations where I think many
little rotations are allowed to accumulate).  I suppose that requires a separate paper but not now.
[There may be an interesting comparison with the accumulation of many small angular rotations
according to Bessler's Orffyrean technology, especially if the Bessler pendulum is able to serve
as an angular momentum bridge from the subatomic level to the macroscopic level.]

Infinite Energy.  I had begun subscribing and reading Infinite Energy after a tip by Dr. Miles.  I
could see that the magazine treated cold fusion fairly, though in many other parts of the
"scientific" community it was given nothing approaching a fair treatment scientifically.
                                                             14
Infinite Energy often referred to interesting "new" technologies and some of them could be
adapted to science fair experimentation.  For the spring of 1999, my son (Christopher G. Park)
and I built theory-shaking fixed-ring Marinov motors.  See the related discussion in (1997-1998)
IE issues #17, 18, and 19.  He got to do fun experiments with them for his science fair project.  I
have been interested in learning about the Ranque effect in IE issue #27.  Renzo Boscoli therein
considered promotion of the Ranque phenomenon to the level of a Principle which he stated as,
"whenever any mass of gas, whatever its initial density and temperature, is caused to rotate
axially, via exogenous and/or endogenous effects, it will gradually cool in the area near the axis
of rotation and will warm in the external areas."  For the 9 March 2000 science fair at James
Monroe Middle School, I with my younger brother, Harry F. Park, attempted to build a prototype
of a Bessler pendulum for my son, so that Christopher could do fun experiments with it for his
science fair project.  Christopher selected "Bessler Pendulum Effectiveness" as the title of his
project but he later added "Untuned" to the title after I could not get the torque governing
pendulum at the top to swing with the same period as the main pendulum.  Christopher had a
hypothesis of "The largest angle made by a Bessler pendulum will remain larger than that of a
physical pendulum of the same shape."  In Christopher's report and on his poster, Christopher
thanked Alden Park (me), Harry Park, and Steven Meadows for building the pendulum so that he
could do experiments with it.  Christopher found that his hypothesis tested out negative with
respect to the available pendulum (or in other words the hypothesis was not observed to be
correct).  I am getting ahead of the personal background story.  Let me back up a little.
                                                               
Bessler Wheel.  I read about the Bessler wheel in Infinite Energy (IE) issues #21 (1998) and #23
(1999).  The IE review articles contained many comments regarding the book Perpetual Motion: 
An Ancient Mystery Solved? by John Collins.  From this book (p. 23), I now understand that
Johann Ernst Elias Bessler, also known as Orffyreus, was born in 1680 or 1681 near Zittau
[which is now a city in present day Germany very close to the border with Poland and also close
to the Czech Republic].  He built, publicly demonstrated, and destroyed four "self" powering
wheels though Collins (p. 60) has found evidence for three more such devices built (and
destroyed) by Bessler.  The first of the four well-publicized wheels was shown publicly in Gera
in 1712 (see p. 15).  Each unique wheel rotated about a horizontal axle.  See the figures on pp.
27, 35, 199 of Collins' book and some related discussion on pp. 36, 66, 198.  At its full power
production or full rotational speed, each wheel was able to produce its own particular level of
useable mechanical power.  The Kassel wheel, as both the largest in diameter (11.15 to 12 feet,
pp. 16, 20, 61, 110, 197, 200) and the thickest (14 to 18 inches, pp. 16, 20, 110, 198, 200),
produced more power than any of the other wheels.
                                                             15
EM Over-Unity Engines.  I had carefully studied Tom Bearden's paper "The Master Principle
of EM Overunity and the Japanese Overunity Engines" in IE double issue #5&6 (1995/1996). 
An updated version of his paper may be found within www.hsv.com (-> Inside -> INDEX ->
Correspondents -> Tom E Bearden) which references among many other things:  (1) David
Scott's "Magnetic 'Wankel' for Electric Cars" in June 1979 Popular Science pp. 80-81 and (2)
Teruo Kawai's "Motive Power Generating Device," U.S. Patent No. 5,436,518, July 25, 1995
which patent may be read on the Internet (http://www.uspto.gov/).  Bearden lists seven primary
or master principles, to be followed in designing overunity electromagnetic (EM) engines and
devices.  As I understand it, the master principle amounts to nonconservatively or
asymmetrically self-regauging of the system electromagnetic potentials.  I think that Bearden's
paper should be carefully studied by any physicist who thinks that over-unity EM engines are
physically impossible.  [I take "over-unity" to mean that its efficiency is greater than one.  I take
efficiency to mean the useful energy output divided by the "obvious" energy input (and not
counting any "free" input energy).  The definition of "over-unity" is thus dependent upon the
meaning of the expressions "useful energy" output, "obvious energy" input, and "free energy." 
If we find an energy source that is a hitherto unknown source of energy (considering it as an
unobvious energy source), then we can consider it as "free energy" in that we here need not
count it as being part of the input energy.  Gravity would to this point be generally considered as
an unobvious or free source of energy assuming one could extract energy from it.  Any known
energy source that is for some reason considered as a "free" energy source may also be used in
the construction of an over-unity device.]
                                                               
That IE double issue #5&6 also had a couple of other articles about the electromagnetic motor or
engine of Yasunori Takahashi, CEO of Sciex Corp.  Takahashi's company built an electric
scooter powered by batteries and his 7 kg motor or engine that had a range of 500 miles.  Mr.
Takahashi did not claim over-unity performance as the magnets lose strength at about 3% per
year.  In other words, I believe he was implying that the extra energy might be coming about
because of the destruction of magnetic dipoles, which was a clever way of side-stepping the
politically-physically sensitive over-unity issue in the interest of trying to market his scooter.  It
appears that degraded efficiency motors/dynamos are currently being thoughtfully introduced
into vehicles under the category of regenerative braking.  Later, increasing the efficiency of such
motors/dynamos would wisely allow for profitable planned product improvements.  See
Bearden's Internet comments within "Update on the Takahashi Engine".  I think that the
Japanese inventors need to be complimented on their persistent-studious efforts, foresight, and
ingenuity [not unlike the example of Bessler and if things were fair they should receive rewards
of at least 100,000 thalers].  I think that the apparent Japanese strategy of gradually switching
over to new power sources is admirable in that it would not cause turmoil and major economic
disruptions.  Retracting the huge technology leap is wise strategically and group financially as it
allows those with the technology edge to collectively compete from a sustained perspective of
higher-ground technology-wise.  Much of the full over-unity EM technology has seemed to have
gone into hiding.  It may be brought out in incremental steps or await a more favorable
marketing climate (or change of people's beliefs to allow marketing of such).  There may also be
understandable resistance on the part of those making large amounts of money from oil.  They
would be quite resistant to having their large profits sent elsewhere.  As ancient Gadianton
robbers (or rather unrighteously combined secret groups) were not opposed to threatening an
individual or even a whole country to suit their evil purpose (see 3 Ne. 3:1-12 as an example),
their modern-day counterparts would not hesitate to threaten individuals or even whole nations,
if it were to work to their perceived advantage (according to their limited perspective).
                                                            16 
EM and Gravity.  The following discussion is different than the way I was taught about
electromagnetism and gravity so the traditional student may just want to ignore it.  As a
stationary charged particle might be a gating source and sink of much power in the form of
electromagnetic radiation (going and coming at the speed of light, c, yet not according to the
traditional Poynting vector intensity EXH = 0 but rather departing intensity proportional to
Ecq/|q| where E is the electric field intensity of that source charge, q), a stationary neutral mass
(generally composed of particles with opposite charges causing much macroscopic canceling of
their superimposed electromagnetic radiations) might also be the source (and sink) of much
power departing at the speed of light in the form of gravitational radiation of intensity
proportional to -gc where g is the inward pointing gravitational field intensity from that
gravitational mass source.  In either case, there are very interesting issues regarding whether or
not it is somehow possible for one to gain energy access to a portion of these hypothetical
intensities.  Bearden dealt with many electromagnetic considerations but also touches upon some
gravitational considerations (see his Internet paper "Chasing the Wild Dragon: Foundations of a
New Science").  I found a reference to what I recalled from my graduate school days about the
graviton likely being a spin 2 particle.  See the Internet page
http://www.sciam.com/askexpert/physics/physics14.html for a statement that the graviton should
have spin 2hbar where hbar is Planck's constant divided by 2 pi.  This would mean that each
graviton (of gravitational radiation) would have relatively much spin in it.  It would then have
twice that of the spin one normal photon (of electromagnetic radiation) or four times the spin of
the spin 1/2 hbar electron (or proton).  I can now speculate that the graviton might be a local
soliton of two somehow very tightly coupled photons, with macroscopically canceling opposite
E "fields" (with directionality and spin constructively remaining).  It seems that there should be
some physical manifestation of the much hypothetically superimposed electromagnetic radiation
(with essentially completely canceled E and H fields so that the radiation has powerful
penetration properties) coming from the many charged particle pairs within neutral matter and
maybe that slightly attractive manifestation is called gravity.  It can be attractive as opposite
charges attract.  It might be a gentle attraction as the coupled radiation pair needs to wait until
conditions nearly opposite the way they were produced are encountered.  One might think of the
soliton pair of waiting until a charge exchanged opposite internal rotational geometry is found
with an "acceptable" rotational phase.

It seems I should mention the following situation.  There was a demonstration regarding spinors
in Figure 41.6 on p. 1149 of Gravitation by Misner, Thorne, and Wheeler.  The figure showed
elastic threads attached to an object where if the object has been rotated by two full turns or 720
degrees the figure shows how the twisted elastic threads can be rearranged without any
movement of the object itself so that all the thread twists vanish (it then being topologically
equivalent to twisting the object by zero degrees or no twisting of the object at all).  The object,
if rotated through just a single full rotation of 360 degrees, could not have its threads rearranged
to undo the thread twists.  Such speculation or discussion may be taking us away from the more
immediate practical matter at hand so I will try to return to that problem.
                                                             17
It seemed to me to be possible to build a Bessler wheel-like "perpetual motion" machine using
over-unity electromagnetic engines but most of the world had curiously seemed to reject them. 
[By "perpetual motion" I do not mean according to the typical modern definition as shown on p.
193 of John Collins' book, "A Perpetual Motion machine is a device which, once having been
started, will continue to run indefinitely, with no additional input of energy, as long as the
materials of which it is constructed do not wear out."  Rather I now mean a "perpetual motion"
machine is any device which, once having been started, will continue to run indefinitely, as long
as the materials of which it is constructed do not wear out, with no additional input of power,
except for a guaranteed power supply through the medium of either gravitation or
electromagnetism or Kae-e-vanrash or Kli-flos-is-es (or Hah-ko-kau-beam).  You may ignore the
unusual words if you don't want to consider such possibilities, but these media are mentioned in
the scriptures.]  (The information in the London Times about the Takahashi or Sciex scooter
apparently fell on deaf ears or blind eyes not yet able or prepared to receive that test marketing
information.)  Aside from the more obvious electrodynamics reguaging approach, I just could
not understand how one could possibly build such a machine as that built by Bessler.  Still the
evidence that came from John Collins (via IE) was very impressive.  I thought that there needed
to be some solution other than an electro-mechanical solution.   I did not think that Bessler had
much access to electrodynamic materials near the beginning of the 1700's anyway.  I realized
such things as I could get my rolling chair to work its way around the room from a stationary
position because of my motion while seated in it (without my feet on the floor) because of the
nature of the coefficients of friction (larger for static than for moving coefficients of friction).  It
would not be possible for the chair to so move across the floor if it were not for an imbalance in
the forces.  I well understood the standard theory that gravity was a conservative field.  Ignoring
friction or the conversion of energy to other forms, a "point" mass by itself loses from its
gravitational potential energy the amount acquired in kinetic energy and vice versa.  With
friction not ignored, there is some energy lost in the process.  On and after 12 January 2000,
thoughts and understanding began to come to me as I considered the information available to me
with respect to the Bessler wheel problem.


                        Initial Analysis
                                                             18
I first considered an inner structure of loops within Bessler's wheel.  I tried making drawings of
all sorts of mapped arrangements of loops as if a larger wheel were the outer Bessler wheel itself
and a smaller wheel were something like a loop within the Bessler wheel (such as loops of ropes
to lift up weights so that they could be dropped upon the base or bottom interior edge of the
Bessler wheel).  I didn't realize it at the time but this was apparently the traditional method that
is often used in analyzing the interior of Bessler's wheel.  I have since then seen that John
Collins has approaches similar to this on his Internet site, http://www.free-energy.co.uk/.  I
connected the two loops.  The two loops touched at least where the weights came in contact with
the rim of Bessler's wheel.  I seemed to be going nowhere.  I thought that I should be trying
some experiments but doing experiments with wheels inside of wheels was not a simple thing to
arrange.  On 20 Jan. 2000, it occurred to me that if the Bessler wheel is a single touch type of
wheel near the bottom, that this could easily be somewhat tested out externally using an inverted
or external type of Bessler wheel that could use readily available bicycle wheels.  On my Friday
off (21 Jan. 2000), after some experiments with bicycles in inverted arrangements with tires
touching, I considered that this was not the case.  I became very discouraged by the
disappointing though expected ordinary results.  I could not figure out what the power source
was.  On 22 Jan. 2000, I thought that the Ranque effect or some Ranque-like effect might be
responsible for the power production in a Bessler wheel (with hot air molecules on the inside of
the Bessler wheel but near the outer wheel edge with the weights designed to capture some of
the energy).  I was really grabbing at straws.
                                                               
Then about 26 Jan. 2000, I considered or contemplated the interior of the Bessler wheel and
began to think that alternating torques might somehow dump energy into a smaller wheel
moving according to a pendulum.  Exactly how those torques might be delivered was not at all
clear.  The timing for loops of weights hung from such a small wheel (or for loops of weights
instead hung from a chain connected large wheel) seemed to be impossible.  A switch over in the
torques would have to occur at greatest pendulum-angular-amplitude for it to acquire additional
energy but that seemed unreasonable so I dropped the weighted-loop torque-switch-over line of
thought.  Maybe having the pendulum go all the way over the top might provide a simple
alternative to the changing torque directions and only having to deal with how to get energy out
of the pendulum motion, as then the pendulum would be just going one way and the torques
need only to be applied in one direction (with friction, etc. supplying counter torques to keep the
energy stored from becoming too great).  Such a thing could be possible if pendulum angular
amplitudes were to increase to such a point that the pendulum rotations could have gone just in
one direction.  One could call this a "run away" situation.  On Friday evening 28 Jan. 2000,
while I was riding my bicycle home, it occurred to me what a possible mechanism might be for
applying alternating torques to a small wheel moving with pendulum motion with respect to a
large wheel with both connected by a chain.  There might be a second suspended ordinary
pendulum weight from the top of the extended main Bessler pendulum line "above" the large
wheel.  The pendulum line could go through the centers of both the small wheel and the large
wheel.  I could call the small ordinary pendulum weight a torque governor for it might govern
the torques applied at the amplitude extremes of the main pendulum line going through the small
wheel.  A small pendulum weight suspended from a point at the top of the main pendulum line
might be an easy way to provide alternating torques.  It seemed to me that the pendulum either
could not or was not allowed (by means of energy extraction) to typically swing over the top
(and so not typically be in a run away state).  The main-pendulum-line might then just keep
swinging back and forth (acquiring and distributing energy).
                                                             19
It seemed obvious to me (with the internal angular velocities all going in the same direction for
both the smaller wheel and the larger wheel) (only speeding up and slowing down) that Bessler
apparently could have made good use of the fact that the moving coefficient of friction being
smaller than the larger static coefficient of friction.  Thus, Bessler surely would not have let the
wheels come to a stop as that would have wasted too much energy.  This could have been how
Bessler pretty much avoided the large static coefficients of friction.  As far as how the
coefficient of friction varies with speed for the moving situations, this is not obvious to me.  I
might guess that the coefficient of friction decreases with increasing speed until it gets to some
speed.  Just where this point is, is not obvious to me and we should properly leave the situation
to experimentation anyway.

The smaller wheel could have larger internal angular speed because of the gearing or according
to the ratio of the number of teeth in the two wheels.  This is the normal situation with the
gearing in the modern safety bicycle though in a Bessler wheel-pendulum the sizes of sprocket
wheels could be much larger than the ones we see in a bicycle.  Also unlike the normal bicycle,
the sprocket wheels in a Bessler wheel-pendulum could have their interiors uniformly filled in so
that they correspond to large moments of inertia.  The sprocket wheels on ordinary bicycles
typically have little mass in their interiors so that they are lighter than with filled in interiors.
                                                               
In the 7 Feb. mail, I received the copy of John Collins' book, Perpetual Motion: An Ancient
Mystery Solved? (1997), which my wife ordered for me over the phone, (603)228-4516, on 1
Feb. 2000 from Cold Fusion Technology, Inc., the publishers of Infinite Energy magazine. 
Though I had gotten home from work late, I was able to quickly spot various things (by quickly
looking through the book and reading sections of interest):  (1) the monogram (on p. 2) of
Orffyreus showing the loops at the front and back depicting the increasing amplitude transitions
to higher amplitude on the left and right sides by the smaller wheel, (2) the translation of the
name Bessler to Orffyre on p. 181 using the code of writing the first 13 letters of the alphabet in
a horizontal line above the last 13 letters (possibly later symbolizing how the energy is obtained
by the interactions of both sides of the pendulum though writing the letters of the alphabet in
two vertical columns might better convey such a symbolic link), (3) the figure on p. 189 which
to me represented the operation of the pendulum (guessing the two upper white sectors represent
the regions of maximum amplitude of the pendulum which are most effective with respect to
power generation for a well-tuned pendulum), and (4) the words on p. 188 of John Collins' book
(and similar to the words in Appendix A on p. 225 containing the center of the paragraph
passage) which I state here with permission of John Collins, "A wheel appears on the scene - is
it really a wheel, for it does not have a normal rim.  It revolves, but without other wheels inside
or outside, and without weights, wind or springs.  Seen sideways or full-face it is as bright as a
peacock's tail.  It turns to the right and the left; it spins around in either direction, laden or
empty."  To me in (4), Bessler is clearly referring to what I think we should call a Bessler wheel-
pendulum (if it is the very central idea of the Bessler wheel).  It is interesting that Bessler refers
to it as a wheel but he is not sure that it really is a wheel.  I am sure that he would not dare to call
it a wheel-pendulum as that would have given away too much information about its construction. 
Collectively (1), (2), (3), and (4) to me (separately and together) pictorially speak of the
operation of Bessler's pendulum.  Bessler for almost 300 years "hid" this information in plain
sight for all to see who could see it.  It seemed to me that anyone coming up with his invention
would surely need to acknowledge in hindsight that Bessler had invented it previously.

On 8 Feb. 2000, I noticed that the monogram on p. 2 of Collins' book also could symbolically
represent the drawing off of energy from the "wheel."
                                                             20
I noticed on p. 29  that Bessler had a strangely invigorating dream prior to his inventing his
pendulum.  Bessler acknowledged God's help.  See pp. 28, 29, 32, 65, 141 of Collins' book.  I
acknowledge God's help in helping me to understand and consider things that I might not
otherwise consider.  As seen on p. 228, Bessler repeated his referenced scripture, 1 Cor. 10:31
which in the King James Bible reads, "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do,
do all to the glory of God."  As this was one of the many scriptures that he referenced according
to his declaration of faith, I suppose he meant it.  I too would like to echo Amen to this and if
any of my many speculations are true, then I think that the glory should not go to me but rather
to God according to that particular declaration of faith scriptural-reference given by Bessler.

        Some Thoughts Regarding Bessler Pendulum Attempt
                                                               
I initially thought that the torque governor just consisted of a small pendulum.  That is how I
assembled a prototype Bessler pendulum for my son.  I do not currently think that this is correct. 
If the torque governor were to contain a pendulum, I suppose it would be wise to select its
periodicity to match that of the main Bessler pendulum line or it would be wise to select its
periodicity so that it is sufficiently out of phase with the main pendulum that its energy is
applied when it is most needed to increase the amplitude of the main pendulum.  I was unable to
tune that pendulum so that it would have those desired periodicity-and-energy-transfer
properties.  My son would have been in trouble if he did not do experiments on something so he
just had to do his experiments using an inferior prototype of a Bessler pendulum.  With
Christopher's and my own observations, I began to understand that the torque governor should
primarily be a wheel so as to avoid the phasing and periodicity problems.  This idea was
confirmed when I began to decode Bessler's "little book."  In a number of places in Bessler's
"little book," it only makes sense to interpret the torque governor as a wheel (and apparently also
a sprocket wheel at that).  Especially though not exclusively see the snow, the great horse herd,
and Saturn.

Christopher's experiments showed that his hypothesis tested out negative for that particular
"untuned" Bessler pendulum.  (Q4) Why might the attempt at making a Bessler pendulum for
the science fair have failed?  (1) There was too much friction in the chain and the pivot bearings. 
The wheels and chain could not spin for very long without stopping.  I think that the chain and
pivot bearings also needed to have the grease removed and use powdered graphite as was done
on the other bearings (according to the tip I received from Tom Frisbee for situations of little
friction being desired under conditions of there being little or no load).  (2) The wheels might
not be large enough in diameter and with respect to moment of inertia.  Apparently Bessler's
larger wheels were more effective.  (3) The torque governor should have been a wheel with
critically timed stopping and resumption specifications.  This would have solved the phasing
problems I noticed.  (4) The dimensions may not have been correct.  (5) The chain may not have
been at the correct tightness.  (6) The wheels probably should have been of the same thickness. 
(7) Stability for a wheel would have increased if either a roller-type bearing (as Bessler had
access to) or a pair of ball-type bearings were used in place of each unpaired ball-type bearing. 
(8) Other things need to be done as specified by Bessler's "little book" and his associated
diagram.

       An Interpretation of Bessler's Little Book Parable
                                                               
John Collins was desirous that someone should break Bessler's code and so explain how one can
build the wheel.  I do not know if there is any other coding (say in Bessler's about 140
referenced symbolic scriptures in his declaration of faith) but what I do know (as I became
aware of it through study and pondering of related things) is that Bessler's "little book" is coded
(with the assistance of literary devices) according to a very old (if not the oldest) method for
"coding" scriptural messages.  That is the method of symbolic representation or in other words it
is a parable.  See "Parables" in the Bible Dictionary (near the back of The Holy Bible published
in 1979 by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints).  Parables are typically used to
withhold information from those who are not yet spiritually ready to receive the message.  The
person can hear the words but may not hear or understand the full message.  The person seeing
the symbolic message sees but may not see the intended hidden message unless the person has
enough training and spiritual preparation (in large part faith and intelligence) to receive it.  One
needs to seek to find the meaning of a parable.  Typically parables or such symbolism can
survive the language translation process if the language translation is good.  Still it can be
helpful if the language translator understands the hidden level (or levels) of meaning to make
sure that the hidden message is still available in the new language.  The skill, intelligence, and
spirituality of the parable designer have much to do with the language translation survivability
process.  The proper interpretation of a parable contains the intended message(s) of the parable,
when it was first given.
                                                               
I think that an attempted interpretation of Bessler's "little book" (showing his pendulum with its
lost Orffyrean technology) is long overdue.  This is my attempt at a symbolic interpretation of
Bessler's "little book" (first encoded passage) which may be found in translated English (pp.
225-226 and almost all the original German pp. 226-227) in Appendix A of John Collins' book. 
Collins indicates that the original language version is from the Apologia or rather the Poetica
Apologia (Collins p. 187, 21) of Orffyreus.  If I am wrong in any of my guesses, I hope that
Bessler will forgive any trespass I've made against him.  The reader should follow along with an
original German or translated version of Bessler's "little book" to see how I am doing
interpretation-wise and maybe so the reader will gain some insight so as to construct a better
interpretation.  If the reader does not study a version of Bessler's "little book" and especially if
the reader does not have access to a version of Bessler's "little book," then the reader might not
understand why I am attempting to interpret things the way I am so doing (and mixing the
language of the interpretation with the language of the things being interpreted).  I suspect that
Bessler does not mind much my taking the liberty of speaking the parable's interpretation in his
name as (1) his "little book" was written in the first person and (2) I am trying to help remove
the label of fraud that was incorrectly associated with this man.
                                                             22
Though he had his particular strengths, weaknesses and problems (see clues about such on pp.
24, 28, 208-209 of Collins' book), I think that he tried to take upon himself the name of Jesus
Christ as best as he could.  Just read and ponder the about 140 marvelous scriptural references
"in the section entitled Orffyreus' declaration of faith" (see Appendix B or pp. 228-230 in
Collins' book) which many references (also in parable fashion) contain many mature symbolic
references of his pendulum, his personal life, his faith in God, and further relations between man
and God possibly associated with the pendulum.  By mature symbolic references I mean that
they are from a perspective of a complete or a fully working Bessler pendulum.  I have not been
able to find all the Bessler references but I assume that the ones I cannot find are comparably
valuable to the ones that I could locate.  I have not been able to find Micha. 6:8, Sap. 2:20, Sap.
6:19-20, Luc. 21:24, and Thren. 3:41.  I do not currently think that I should discuss much about
my views of "decoding" the many Bessler scriptural references in this paper, as this paper is
already getting long.  The reader will just have to make their own discoveries regarding
Bessler's many scriptural references.  I will also not comment much on inherent symbolism of
the working pendulum itself, though as I see it, there appears to be much for the diligently
thoughtful reader to discover along this line.  Because of such remaining uncovered symbolism,
I do not believe that I have completely interpreted Bessler's "little book" which rich symbolism
may explain why Bessler called it his "little book".  It would just keep expanding into a huge
book from its "little book" symbolic beginning if one were to let it be further opened.  Even
being expanded to some extent it curiously still remains a "little book" as there is much more of
the symbolism within the completed or functioning Bessler pendulum itself remaining to be
expanded and spoken about.
                                                             23
Literary Forms.  Before I give my partial interpretation of Bessler's "little book," I think I need
to write somewhat of literary forms of importance in the "decoding" or rather interpretation of
his "little book" parable.  It is interesting that some of the ancient literary forms that have been
discovered to be in The Book of Mormon also seem to appear in Bessler's "little book."  As to
why this should be, I can partly guess that Bessler, the avid student and scholar, was in Collins'
book pp. 25-26, 185, 190 seen to be an intermediary between the Jesuit priest and the elderly
Rabbi in Prague.  Collins wrote on his p.25, 'As was his custom, Orfyreus extracted as much
knowledge as he could from the old man, learning something of Hebrew, and ancient
Hieroglyphics, "the language of nature and the writings of angels".'  It seems quite reasonable
that the association with the Rabbi may have in part allowed Bessler to acquire some highly
specialized knowledge of little known ancient literary forms.  These ancient literary forms may
include Hebraic poetry, allegory, figurative language, imagery, and symbolic types.  See the
Encyclopedia of Mormonism (1992) under the heading "Book of Mormon Literature" pp. 181-
185.  I think that Bessler's "little book" is an allegory having at least two levels of meaning.  See
the translated allegory written by Zenos (about the tame and wild olive trees) in Jacob 5:2-77 as
an excellent example of allegory.  The literal level of meaning in Bessler's "little book" is
curious (it is compact and on its surface it doesn't flow very smoothly when compared to the
long allegory of Zenos which smoothly and "vividly incorporates dozens of horticultural details
as it depicts the history of God's dealings with Israel") but it is the most hidden symbolic levels
that tells with near universal scope the real story about what is going on in Bessler's pendulum
after the textual surface symbols are properly understood.  Under the "Poetry" subcategory is
listed such other things as line forms, parallelism and chiastic patterns.  Regarding line forms,
"Book of Mormon texts shift smoothly from narrative to poetry" as seen at the long dash in
Alma 7:9.  This sort of thing is seen in Bessler's "little book" in the smooth transition from the
beginning narrative portion to the chiastic poetry proper portion.  Regarding parallelism, though
not the synonymous parallelism of say 2 Ne. 9:52 "... pray unto him continually by day, and give
thanks unto his holy name by night, ...", Bessler's "little book" has many hidden parallelisms as
for example "The rain drips down. Snow falls." which among other things is used to compare
and contrast the change of state in the torque governor wheel.

The Chiasmus.  The chiasmus (an a-b-b-a pattern) or the extended chiasmus (a-b-c-c-b-a) and so
forth may be seen in The Book of Mormon in such examples as Alma 41:13-14,and Alma 36:1-
30 which therefore creates much emphasis on its also chiastic center in Alma 36:17-18.  I am not
sure how many extended chiastic levels there are in Alma 36:1-30 but there are many (noting
that Cracroft, as mentioned below, seems to have done a quite reasonable analysis of the major
chiastic levels).  Another example of these extended chiastic structures may be seen in The Holy
Bible as in Lev. 24:13-23 which also contains an inner chiasm in Lev. 24:17-21.  The chiasmus
by its nature tends to survive translation quite well and can allow the author of a chiasm to focus
special attention on its very center.  Bessler has apparently carefully placed a gem or nugget of
truth at the very center of his chiasmus.  This knowledge gem is apparently the idea of his new
wheel-pendulum entity.  If the interior extended levels are indented more than the exterior
levels, then the left edge of the chiasm can look somewhat like the left edge of a large X or the
capitalized Greek letter chi.  See the indented examples of the chiasmus on p. 167 in the section
"Book of Mormon Authorship" in the Encyclopedia of Mormonism.
                                                             24
If the chiastic indentations were done differently instead of an "X" one could get a diagonal
going across a circle as with say "/" or "\".  Another way of thinking of the situation is that each
of the seven chiastic levels might be thought of as the two endpoints of going across a circle, as
with going across a circle to encode the seven letters of BESSLER into ORFFYRE or vice versa. 
I have tried to see if I could get an exact physical correspondence between (1) the encoding of
BESSLER in going across the circle and (2) the physical transitions in the working of the Bessler
pendulum.  I have at most seen loose symbolic correspondence but nothing like an exact map.  I
have found partial mappings but nothing complete.  I suppose that an important idea is that the
encoding symbolically shows energy going across the circle at various times in the operation of
the pendulum.  There may be a full physical map according to the encoding of BESSLER and
the ordering of Bessler's hidden chiastic structure (or the workings of Bessler's pendulum) but I
have not found it.  Maybe someone else can view it just right to see a full physical map where I
have not succeeded.  I have found that every other of the eight xs (or Greek letters chi) that
Bessler placed at the end of some of his Germanic poetic lines (for some reason) had much
relevance with respect to his chiasm.  His choice of the symbol "x" almost gives away what he is
up to (though I wonder if the use of "x" or the Greek letter chi to describe the structure now
called the chiasmus was expressed by some people prior to the time of Bessler).  Three of them
correspond exactly to the chiastic boundaries I found and a fourth one is at the end of the line
whose beginning is at the very center of his chiasmus (with respect to the center of his ten line
gem).  A fifth x is placed at the end of the line that corresponds to the exact center of the 55 line
Germanic poetry proper portion of his "little book".  A sixth x if inverted from the end of the
second to last line to the end of the second (or even the first) line would then correspond to an
exact chiastic boundary according to my analysis.  I haven't come up with even any far fetched
explanations for the locations of the last two xs which could suggest that I don't fully understand
why he placed the xs as he did, but there are still clues in that (1) the total number of xs (ie.
eight) exactly corresponds to the seven total number of chiastic levels plus the center gem level,
(2) there are also 50 /s marked in his poetry proper which would be enough to set his poetry into
51 or almost 52 regions (or twice the number of letters in the German or English alphabet), had
he not placed one of his slash marks at the very end, and (3) with the exception of "den dren
Reichen" which I discuss below, every chiastic boundary that I have found in the German
version corresponds precisely to either an end of a line or a "/" mark.  Maybe someone else can
finish solving that puzzle from whatever portion of the solution (if any) that I guessed correctly. 
Maybe I solved the puzzle as far as possible and Bessler threw in enough noise so that a
complete analysis of those things alone would not lead to a solution (or in other words one
would need to start with the mature solution to find confirmations of the solution correctness).
                                                               
There are many other references to parallelism and chiasmus associated with Hebraic poetry. 
See "A Clear Poetic Voice" by Paul R. Cracroft, January 1984 Ensign p. 28-31.  In reference to
the Book of Psalms, Cracroft indicated, "Scholars and poets have traced Hebraic parallelism for
more than two hundred years.  Chiasmus, according to John W. Welch, made itself known in the
1930s but burst much more dramatically into public view in the 1960s."  Cracroft analyzed some
example structures in the Book of Mormon.  He analyzed the parallel structure found in verse
four of Alma 33 which is typical of the parallelism written in the scriptural-poem by Zenos as
found in Alma 33:4-11.  Cracroft analyzed the chiastic structures found in Alma 41:12-15, the
entire thirty-sixth chapter of the Book of Alma, Mosiah 3:18-19, and Mosiah 5:10-12.  In regard
to the pre-Mosaic history of the Jaredites, Cracroft said, "I have read and reread the Book of
Ether and find in its pages nothing that sounds to me like poetry.  It is straight prose.  And it
should be. Hebraic poetry traces its origins to the Song of Moses, recorded in Exodus 15:1-21." 
I found chiastic words in Ether 13:12 which suggests that either that chiasm might have just
come from the Nephite prophet Moroni or that there is a hint of the chiasmus being known to if
not used much by the Jaredite prophet Ether.  As another example reference to the chiasmus see
"Chiasmus in Mayan Texts" by Allen J. Christenson, October 1988 Ensign p. 28-31.  On p. 28
Christenson wrote, "Chiasmus is a rhetorical pattern that matches elements in reverse order; that
is, the first element parallels the last, the second element parallels the next-to-last, and so on." 
The reference shows a simple example given by King Benjamin (found in Mosiah 4:24), "I give
not because I have not, but if I had I would give."  "Since chiasmus is a pattern, it can function
in virtually any language and survive translation."  On p. 31, Christenson wrote, "Of the thirty-
seven Mayan documents I examined, chiastic patterns abound in sixteen."  He noted that "None
of the highland Mayan documents composed after 1580 include passages of chiasmus.  By that
time, the people familiar with ancient hieroglyphic books were, for the most part, gone."  A
chiasm in Matt. 13:13-18 is diagramed in Chart 129 of Charting the Book of Mormon.  Another
example of the chiasmus is Hel. 6:7-13 which is diagramed in Chart 133 of Charting the Book of
Mormon where it is noted at the center of the chiasm that "The Hebrew word for Lord
constitutes the theophoric suffix -yah, which is at the end of the name Zedekiah."
                                                             25
The variation of expression lengths and rhyming in the original German may have been used to
hide the more important extended hidden chiasm within Bessler's "little book."  Certainly this
was not the standard (more easily detected) chiasmus as seen in the above examples from The
Holy Bible and The Book of Mormon.  The metaphor "For greed is an evil plant." is an
interesting thought but better or more complete sense is obtained from its chiastic counterpart.  I
would suggest that the careful reader study across the constant levels of the chiasm to extract
more information about Bessler's pendulum.  I started making use of the chiastic structure in the
interpretation before I realized that there was even a hidden chiastic level structure.  That is I
wrote preliminarily of poltergeists in the top portion and not in the lower portion as the
interpretation seemed to flow better that way.  The use of the chiasmus may appear to make
things appear wordy on the surface but the study of the chiasmus can bring out relationships,
ideas, and things that would be difficult otherwise to convey in so few words.
                                                               
This is my guess of the 7th level hidden chiastic structure that I found in the poetry proper portion
of Bessler's "little book" (English translation in Appendix A, pp. 225-226 of Collins' book).

This is my guess of the three levels of partially hidden chiastic
structure that on 14 October 2000 I noticed were outside
Bessler's "little book."

The expression in early 18th century German "den dren Reichen" must have been well
understood as referring to "the three kingdoms (animal, vegetable or matter)" (in that order) or
at the very least that is how the superb English translation reads in Collins' Appendix A.  There
was thus not a separate chiastic level split out between vegetable and matter because the order
that he discussed them in the first part of his hidden chiastic poetry was vegetable merging into
matter followed by animal and not in the order matter and vegetable followed by animal (which
would have been required for a split out).  This means that I can only detect seven levels of the
hidden chiasmus which is also the same number of letters as in his name (Bessler) or the number
of days in a week or the number of letters for the notes on the usual musical scale.  Animal got
its own level split out in level G.  As further evidence or emphasis that Bessler meant or
intended that matter was the third kingdom being spoken of in his expression "den dren
Reichen", we see that following that expression he specifically uses the "matter" words
"Schwesel/Salz/Mercurius" and then "Elementen" prior to his next chiastic level.  The implied
vegetable-matter words at the top portion of chiastic level F are [wooden?] bow, [grain? within
horse bellies], flail, [thresher's grain], [wooden?] clubs, columns, and wind.  The animal words
at the top portion of chiastic level G are cat, mice, dog, tail, and paws.
                                                               
The following show brief descriptive captions that could be associated with each chiastic level
to help the reader understand better what is basically going on at each level:
(0) Orffyrean technology fundamental principles/specifications,
(1) First and Last's question as applied to 1717 invention,
(2) second or inner-repeated more-symbolic reference to the Lord's question,
(A) visual overview and invention-protection or symbolic-protection from greed of the world,
(B) how the energy is initially extracted by the pendulum,
(C) the large sprocket wheel (or large Orffyrean contributors),
(D) the small sprocket wheel (or small Orffyrean contributors),
(E) the torque governor sprocket wheel (or middle size Orffyrean contributors) including sensor
for stopping it, its physical properties, and mechanisms for stopping it,
(F) plant and matter comparisons for overview details of energy extraction from the torque
governor sprocket wheel, propagation to the other wheels and pendulum, and roller bearing
properties,
(G) animal comparisons for more overview details of energy extraction from the torque governor
sprocket wheel and propagation to the other wheels and pendulum, and
(Gem) properties of the new wheel-pendulum entity (at each symbolic level).

There is much parallelism in Bessler's "little book."  This parallelism both helps to hide yet
reveal the hidden messages in Bessler's "little book" parable, when they are seen.  One can even
see parallelism extending into the chiastic captions for levels E, F, and G.  Also there are
sprocket wheel parallels in the captions for levels C, D, and E.
                                                             27
From Collins pp. 181-183, 189, we see that Bessler wrote in altered early 18th century German on
the title page of his Poetica Apologia and at the very end of the booklet (above the shaded
circular drawing with unshaded sectors) the letters SenDIhrDan a VChnoChVnVerstanDIg along
with their reference Matth. XV, vs. 16 (though in reversed listing order on the final page). 
Collins noted the odd capitals contain the date DIDVCCVVDI [or DDDCCVVVII ] or 1717
using Roman numerals.  The corresponding King James translated words of Jesus to his
disciples from Matt. 15:16 are "Are ye also yet without understanding?"  Collins noted on p. 182
that 1717 was the year of publication of the pamphlet, and the year of construction of the
inventor's largest wheel.  Again on p. 227, Collins mentions that on the page prior [to Bessler's
"little book"], "he brings to our attention again, the date of 1717."  I suspect that the underlying
1717 German words may have been "Send ihr dan auch noch unverstandig?"  [On 12 November
2000, during Stake Conference, Mel Miles happened to show me his German script print version
of Die Bibel translated by Martin Luther from which I quickly wrote in my journal my
observation that Matt. 15:16 (ignoring any b/d transcription errors) contained something like
"Seid ihr denn auch noch unverstandig?", where I'm leaving off the umlaut from above the "a"
within "unverstandig" and I've shortened its tall "s".]  The correct German words coded with
1717 would not have been very puzzling in 1717 to the German speaking people (even without
the benefit of the scriptural reference).  I think that the parts of the whole coded 1717,
recognized during comparison of the unusual expression question with the well understood
scripture Matt. 15:16 (comparison according to ignoring interior visual capitalizations, replacing
visually similar u's by v's where appropriate, and altering visible spaces where the mature
understanding of the early 18th century German question demands it), serves to connect these
things while further suggesting in chiastic fashion that there actually is a puzzle to be solved here
from the view point of its mature totality if one wants to discover the 1717 secret, assuming one
is not as blind as the scribes and Pharisees who came to challenge our Lord.  Jesus later
responded to his disciples (in Matt. 15:16-20) after Peter's request within Matt. 15:15 of
"Declare unto us this parable."  Chiastic levels 0, 1, and 2 are progressively more symbolic. 
Chiastic level 0 plainly shows to those who can see it that one uses portions of circles rolling
inside slightly larger radius circles to construct his Orffyrean bearings.  Chiastic level 0 also
contains more hidden symbolism of how Bessler's pendulum works at many levels.
                                                               
Anyway, here is my speculative attempt at symbolically decoding or interpreting to a certain
extent Bessler's "little book" hidden-chiastic Hebraic-poetic parable or putting some "meat" on
to the story.  From a technical standpoint, I am guessing that I have decoded at least 90% of the
technical specifications regarding the Bessler pendulum.  I suppose that I specify almost all the
major "whats" that need to be done though I am a little uncertain on some of the implementation
specific "hows" for some of them being done.  This interpretation comes by much pondering and
study.  Please refer to the speculative front figure at the beginning of this paper as I think it
should help the reader understand what Bessler or Orffyreus was trying to speak about in his
pageantry of words and symbols originating from the completely functioning or mature
invention only.  Please keep in mind, as you read these next speculatively interpreted paragraphs
until the end of this section, that the words "my" or "I" are intended to be with respect to Bessler
(or Orffyreus or Orffyres). 
                                                             28
A Little Book Interpretation.  I, Orffyreus, ask thee the words of our Lord God, (Q5) "Are ye
also yet without understanding?" as we read in Matth. XV, vs.16.  Those with a mature
understanding of my perpetual mobile of 1717 will see the physical evidence before them of my
completed invention in my little book poetic proper.  If you understand, then you will be able to
understand my words.  Those with penetrating questions regarding my invention should ask such
questions and they will in many cases receive answers from this little book.  My little book starts
out small but it grows considerably as the valuable symbols are partially expanded.  This
expansion grows in part according to the extension of "my little book" to include this entire
1716-1717 booklet of mine, Poetica Apologia.  My deeds will be revealed according to God's
will but with the help of God they will not be revealed before I am willing, though in hindsight it
will be quite clear that I did and wrote of them earlier.  My deeds and inventions will begin to be
revealed when people begin to catch the vision of my invention.  I have written my little book
riddle so that only with a mature or complete understanding of how my invention actually works,
can one fully understand or appreciate why I have chosen the symbols that I have chosen.  With
proper understanding, many portions of my little book can be viewed according to many levels
symbolically.  Hearken to the scriptures for further help in the symbolic interpretations.  If
anyone lacks a mature understanding of my invention, he will need to speculate about the truth
of my invention and see if my little book confirms his speculations.  If anyone wants to guess
about the truth of my invention, he needs to carefully ponder upon the loosely-depicted
symbolically-rich drama of words that I now cause to rain down upon him from above (with
each rain drop from heaven representing a portion of the total picture of the shower).  A mighty
shower can begin with just a few properly understood dew drops from heaven.  The riches of the
eternities await those who do according to the loving dictates showered down from their Father
in heaven.
                                                             29
(A) For the evil of greed has made this little book parable necessary.  The greedy bodiless beings
of the deep-dark bottomless pit have rarely ceased such activity as gnashing their teeth upon me,
spitting upon me, and striving to supplant me by them since I demonstrated to the world that I
could provide "perpetual motion".  But God has helped me.  Yet, what have I done to my mortal
enemies to be so harshly treated?  Yea, what was my trespass?  Nary, save my over-confidence
and some pride which I have tried to repent of.  Greed (rooted in this world) spreads and grows
according to the power given up to the devil.  I have fought that greed plant first-hand because I
protected my invention from the greed of others.  My innermost invention though good (the parts
being good are perfectly obedient to God in their own realms as God is perfectly obedient to his
own laws) can be compared visually and otherwise to an evil rooted plant in that it has motion
within as with a plant.  It does not have free unrestricted motion like an unrestrained animal but
its motion is restricted to within greatly controlled areas as evil associated beings are greatly
controlled or restricted whether or not those controlled are aware of their service to evil.  It is
hard to choose the good when in bondage to the sin.  By their much motion they consider
themselves free though they are bound.  The effect of the binding bonds may be delayed.  You
are free to choose for yourself whether you think my invention is good or evil.  You are free to
make choices but you are not free to choose the eternal consequences of your choices. 
Repentance or "turning toward God" (made possible by the atonement of the Son of God) is
required to correct for choices that were wrong.  Though God allows the good and evil to use
power according to their choices, the ultimate source of all real power is from God.  My
invention-plant is exceedingly energy greedy or selfish (or you may say "thrifty" if you prefer) in
that it greedily draws energy to itself.  It works in layered parts but it fights energy-loss-friction
at all places possible, so as not to lose any of the precious energy which in greedy fashion it sips
out of the energy-rich raging river of gravity.  The covering mantle wheel around my invention
helps to visually protect it from the curious-greedy people of this world who would claim my
invention as their invention without giving me the one hundred thousand thalers payment that I
have asked for my invention and have so patiently been waiting for.  The loud sounds (from
weights hitting the inside of my 1717 covering wheel) are another way to help protect my
invention from such greedy people of this world.  As greed begins with or is rooted in evil, so
too is the energy source rooted in my pendulum.  The torque governor wheel on top looks in
static side view like a large edge-toothed flower above the bulbous center "ground" level.  The
heavy dual-pointed anvil top-portion located at the base of my pendulum invention looks in
static side view somewhat like two evil giant root hairs springing forth from the very bottom end
of a gigantic evil tapered tap root.  From Matt. 15:13 we know that every evil plant shall be
uprooted.  The anvil top-portion though wisely dual pointed so as not to catch or create much
turbulence in the air in either direction, has a dangerous or deadly or evil appearance.
                                                               
(B) Hammer blows on an ordinary anvil, if not struck straight, can exchange both linear and
angular momenta.  The many angular momentum exchanges are "balanced" when an anvil is hit
straight on.  An anvil may be hit many times but the power to strike it comes not from the
hammer that strikes but rather from the special person who wields the hammer.  The more
original power source for the covering wheel is not due to the falling weights hitting the inside
surface of my wheel's rim but rather due to my special pendulum enclosed within the wheel.  A
single-simple "point" mass pendulum delivers and receives a stream of "blows" in a single
cycle.  The smallest divisible or atomic "point" has an inside portion.  Many mass "points" in a
pendulum deliver and receive many connected streams of blows in a single cycle.  In small part
by the rotary motion of the small wheel and chain (very near the anvil-top-portion) within a
single cycle of my special pendulum, many "blows" are struck and received parallel to the
horizontal portion of the pendulum motion, many blows can be antiparallel to the horizontal
portion of the pendulum motion, many blows are exceedingly sharp, and many blows are
exceedingly diffuse.  Many are early and many are late.  Along with this concert of exceedingly
many cooperative blows, there is effectively an exchange of linear and angular momentum with
its combined surroundings both seen and unseen (including the unseen generally steady powerful
outflowing river of swirling energy that we call gravity) like the effect of poltergeists doing work
in sealed rooms.  As the pendulum swings back and forth, the dual-pointed anvil top-part
appears in side view to be receiving many blows.  The extended points (within the anvil-top-
part) receive (or return) extra energy from gravity and the energy is distributed throughout (or
received from) the complete solid swinging pendulum part.
                                                             30
(C) The driver of my special pendulum is the large central sprocket wheel (with a large moment
of inertia) and by its large angular momentum it drives the small wheel through its tight chain,
the exchanged effects of their internal angular momenta.  Because of the large wheel's large
diameter and nearly solid mass, it powerfully-steadily, yet consistently-gently keeps up the
driving of the chain.  The driver's portion of a coach, as seen from the coach's and pendulum's
side, can appear as a large rounded object with a small wheel generally below it turning just one
way.  Reins appear to be going up to the driver.  As viewed from the side of the pendulum, to
view the coach from slightly in front and above the coach, the driver drives to the left and drives
to the right.  When the running team veers too far away, the driver appears to pull on the lower
set of reins for corrective action as the uncooperative team then goes even further away.

(D) The runner is the small sprocket wheel and it runs both much and speedily in its internal
rotation.  The distance between sprocket teeth is the same as that between the teeth of the large
driver wheel.  As the small sprocket wheel goes back and forth in pendulum fashion, it
somewhat appears as the nearest leg and foot of a runner as viewed from the side.  Sometimes
the runner needs to jump over hurdles as he runs.  As the runner runs, he flips a foot out and up
at the end of each running stride.

(E) From God I saw in night vision of sleep a large-shiny-wheel chain-drive a smaller-shiny-
wheel in pendulum fashion with curious pendulum-angular-amplitude increases (after small
wheel sudden internal angular speed increases) just slightly after the times of expected
pendulum angular extremities (when the small wheel was on the right side).  Though I did not
see it in that dream those angular extremities of the main pendulum line are "seen" or detected
from just beyond the large wheel and this information is quickly passed on to the nearby torque
governor sprocket wheel.  The torque governor wheel is opposite the small wheel so that the seer
(in side view) visually appears to "see" from afar the angular pendulum motion of the small
wheel's pendulum main line angular motion.  In side view, the head of the seer is a coiled spring
with a straight balanced piece of metal attached at the center end of the coiled spring as if it
were the front and back brim of a hat.  The outer end of the spring coil is attached to the
supporting swinging pendulum frame-line.  The "eye" of the seer is an Orffyrean "geared" roller
bearing at the center end of the coil.  If you study the middle of my final figure (that I drew for
your benefit at the end of this Apologia), you will see that my roller bearings (when moving
rapidly) can appear much like an eye.  When the pendulum is not angularly accelerated, the seer
"sees" as the brim of the "hat" points toward the small wheel at just the right adjusted angle
which is parallel to the main pendulum line.  There is a small roller bearing at the furthest end of
the hat brim from the small wheel so that it can roll over and depress the hair trigger plate. 
When the pendulum is angularly accelerated one way, the hat brim is "up" as if there were too
much glare (so the seer is unable to see).  When the pendulum is angularly accelerated the other
way, the hat brim is "down" so that the seer would have his vision blocked by the brim.  Only
when the hat brim is adjusted just right does the seer see.
                                                             31
The torque governor wheel is then acted on by an energy buyer when it is suddenly stopped at
just the right time for just the right price.  The energy is bought as the full price of the torque
governor wheel stopping is completely paid.  The buying can have a much deeper significance of
the price our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, with the knowledge of God, personally paid on
behalf of each of us individually (on condition of our own personal repentance) at the time of his
atonement and death.  The Lord could see the full extent of our sins and knew the full price that
somehow must be paid.  He voluntarily paid the full price for each of us that we might not have
to try to unsuccessfully pay our great and terrible debt from debtor's prison, if we would just
repent and give up our sins.  As the torque governor wheel has sprocket teeth to allow the buyer
to buy, so too did our dear Lord have his choice in carrying out his part of the atonement
(according to the will of the Father) and the Son chose to pay the full price.  I could speak
volumes on this subject but will forbear as the scriptures are available for you to read, further
ponder, and heed (and I hope you do so for your benefit, for the benefit of your children, and for
the benefit of your fathers to whom your heart should turn lest the Son come and smite the earth
with a curse).  The buyer rods (or coins as seen in side view of the multiple contact cylinders),
when they have stopped the torque governor wheel, are approximately parallel to the axis of the
torque governor wheel which is also parallel to my main pendulum pivot axis.  The buyer as
seen from the side visually gives money in exchange for the bought energy.

As rain drops drip or snowflakes fall, they sweep and cleanse the air of dust particles that would
be a detriment to the operation of my pendulum.  My pendulum for reliable, long-lasting service
should be operated in a clean nearly dust-free environment.  There should be nothing that
corrodes or is corroded in my pendulum.  When the rain drops or snowflakes coming from above
strike the dust particles on their sides, the dust particles cause the raindrops or snowflakes to
slightly change their internal angular velocity.  There is also something that causes snowflakes to
rotate rapidly about horizontal axes (beyond chance collisions) as they are formed while falling
and this something is associated with falling in gravity through the cold moisture medium.  If not
for that something, the air and moisture would slow down the snowflakes' rapid rotations.
                                                             32
Gravity causes rain drops to quickly drip down with little noticeable internal rotation.  Gravity
causes my pendulum to rotate first in one direction and then in the other direction as if gravity
pulls down on a great forged drop of solidified liquid metal.  As the  metal cools, crystalline
structures may be formed into a large extended metallic structure of a pendulum.  Under specific
association conditions of coldness applied to water, gravity with special rotational power can
cause specially-formed somewhat-circular-with-regular-protruding-edges frozen miniature-
moisture-miracles called snowflakes to interact on occasion with the moisture-matter of air or
other snowflakes as they fall and thus change rotations.  As snowflakes can be built up in their
rotations by either very small crystalline sub-snowflakes or crystalizing water droplets/vapor, the
buyer buying causes the snowflake to attach itself to a much larger structure according to the
time seen by the seer.  Sometimes a snowflake rotates one way and sometimes the other way. 
My pendulum holds the big snowflake and its pendulum motion directly causes the attached
snowflake or torque-governor-sprocket-wheel to slightly rotate as the pendulum rotates.  The
torque governor wheel when set free of its prior rotating life-state, continues at times to rotate in
one direction and at other times to rotate in the opposite direction according to its prior internal
angular velocity that it had when it was last rotationally attached to the giant pendulum
structure.  The rotating snowflake falls after its release as snowflakes fall.  When the torque-
governor-sprocket-wheel falls, it may simultaneously be suddenly considered to be like a curious
mixture of two states of water.  It may be considered to be a liquid-frozen raindrop as it has
broken away from the large solid giant pendulum and its new ability to rotate allows it to have a
more rotationally free-flowing fluid motion.  Even with its many teeth, it may also be considered
to be like a solid symmetrical snowflake because of its physical shape and its nearly solid
internal structure (along with a snowflake being able to rotate about its center of mass).  The
torque governor wheel rotates on a bearing composed of many free-flowing six-lobed-or-
snowflake-shaped structures within each of the six overall snowflake-like arranged rollers about
the central Orffyrean axle.
                                                               
The seer sees the proper time to push the trigger of the tube-shaped "shotgun" which "blasts" the
buyer's rods into the big snowflake (or torque-governor-wheel) in an edge-on shot thus "killing"
it dead in its tracks.  In other words, the seer sensor determines the time when the center of the
small wheel is at its local maximum angular amplitude meaning the maximum local angular
amplitude of the main pendulum line of the small wheel (with respect to vertical ray going down
from the center of the pendulum).  That local maximum angle occurs when the small wheel is at
its local highest height.  Suddenly an impulse springs forth in the form of mechanically sent
forth buyer rods to stop the torque governor wheel from rotating so that the torque governor
wheel suddenly has no visible rotation relative to the main pendulum line.

(F) Just after this buyer "blast" stops the torque governor wheel, the lower portion of the tight
chain (going around the large and small wheels) suddenly slightly twangs (in going even tighter)
like a string on a wooden bow goes taunt as the bow ends try to go apart suddenly.  This causes
the small wheel to suddenly either increase or decrease its angular speed (depending on the
situation but in no case is the small wheel allowed to go to zero angular speed relative to my
working pendulum).

Eventually when the torque governor wheel is later released (as it is at its top elevation or as the
small wheel's center is at its bottom elevation) it will then (by retaining its internal angular
velocity) acquire angular speed (relative to the pendulum as the pendulum begins to lose angular
speed).  This torque-governor-wheel's acquired slow angular speed and rotations within as seen
from the side could be compared to the motions as seen from above of a great tightly-packed
herd of fat and lazy horses which wander aimlessly round and round going nowhere in particular
but they are "fat" in that they do have much energy of rotation or they may be considered plump
with all the energy-grass-grain overstuffed into their slowly moving/rotating horse bellies.  The
size of the horse herd is truly great as there are as many as the number of atoms in the torque
governor wheel.  The horse bellies would still wander or rotate internally even a little after the
bow twangs.  On one pendulum half cycle the horses will slowly and aimlessly rotate around in
one direction and then in the opposite direction on the next half cycle.
                                                             33
This aimless energy may be tapped by scholarly stopping the torque governor wheel using the
middle of the long handle end of a thresher's flail (instead of the usual short and stout beating
swiple or swingle end that threshers normally use to beat their grains with) at just the right time. 
The long handle end of the flail must be long enough to span between the two supports (one
support line on each axle end for the three wheels) constituting the supporting framework
structure centered about the theoretical main pendulum line.  Like yet unlike the thresher's flail,
the swingle end of the flail handle is anchored by a roller bearing to one side of the supporting
framework.  The long handle end of the flail must be narrow enough in thickness to fit between
the sprocket teeth (which are on the peripheral edge of the torque-governor-wheel) but sturdy
enough so that without bending it is able to stop the torque-governor-wheel when the long end of
the flail is rapidly shot or rather sent between teeth of the torque-governor-wheel.  If necessary, a
larger distance between the sprocket teeth on the torque governor wheel may be used.  With my
last pendula, I increased the flail handle's structural stability near its middle and so allowing it to
go between multiple teeth simultaneously (calling the multiple portions of the middle flail rod
the buyer's rods).
                                                               
My Orffyrean sprocket wheels within my Orffyrean roller bearing (which allows my torque
governor wheel to rotate with little friction for both very small and very large angular speeds,
whether or not the torque governor wheel is heavily loaded) as viewed from the side, may be
compared to side views of many children playing with very heavy clubs among tall broken
columns.  The strongest of the children can not lift the lightest of the clubs.  Still, each child can
swing (or you might call it "step" as it uses a club as a "leg") from the top of one broken column
to the top of the next broken column by positioning his heavy club on the ground between the
two close columns and holding on to the handle end to swing over to the top of the next column. 
Then he rotates the handle end of his club to maneuver it between his current column and his
next intended column so that he can again "step" or swing a small angle over to the top of the
next intended broken column.  If the clubs are even heavier by being double-ended, then instead
of rolling them to the next position, they may be alternatively transported between the columns
by switching ends.  A double club may be moved in seesaw fashion by leaning it against the
current broken column that the child is on and rolling it over the top of the column (assuming
that there is enough room for the child to stay on top of the column).  The double club is pivoted
with a circular motion with one end going up while the other end goes down.  This idea
eventually extends to a giant multi-lobed Orffyrean sprocket wheel at times rolling over the tops
of smoothed down broken columns with rolling lobes touching the ground as the clubs did. 
Then the idea extends to many sprocket wheels.  As the ends of the children's clubs are gently
rounded (so as not to sink or cut into the ground), so are the ends of the Orffyrean sprocket lobed
teeth gently rounded in one direction to bear the load while slightly rotating just a little and
while maintaining static friction contact without slipping.  The children must never put
lubrication on the ends of their clubs prior to such play so that they are safely born across each
gap without danger of their clubs slipping.  They must never play among the columns when the
ground is slippery nor when the tops of the columns are slippery.
                                                             34
When freely rotating, the torque governor wheel consists of a nimble clockwise flipping major
acrobat and a nimble counterclockwise flipping major acrobat.  In thought, each major acrobat
comes as quickly as the wind (as the torque governor wheel is suddenly freed by its prior major
shadow boxer's rapid departure).  Each major acrobat (as quickly as the wind) departs as a
freshly arrived major shadow boxer suddenly appears and (with its boxing punch) holds fast an
image in the likeness of the departed major acrobat.  The acrobatic torque-governor-wheel was
suddenly stopped by a sudden shadow boxing strike with a flail pivoting arm.  The shadow
boxing strike though held a long time suddenly ends approximately when the angular amplitude
of the main pendulum line corresponding to the center of the little wheel suddenly leaves the
shaded or shadowed region near the bottom of the circle that I drew for your benefit at the end of
this Apologia which contains this little book.  The main pendulum line is changing most rapidly
in angle near this bottom point in the cycle.  The major shadow boxer flees as quickly as thought
when its boxing strike is withdrawn (for fear of retaliation by the fresh newly arrived major
acrobat).  The major shadow boxing strike and later withdrawal each must be quick so as not to
create much energy-losing-friction nor to rub across more than one sprocket gap in the torque
governor wheel (which otherwise freely turning wheel does not have a chain going around it). 
Near full strength power production for the working pendulum, the major shadow boxing begins
when the center of the small wheel's angular amplitude is at a lower shaded edge of one of the
upper light sectors of that circle that I drew for you at the end of this Apologia.  Please note that
after the shadow boxing strike which stops the acrobatic turns of the torque governor wheel, the
always turning little wheel's center angular amplitude curiously increases from its stopped
position (in apparent defiance of gravity) to near the top of the white sector of my figure before
stopping, returning, and going down through the shadowed region in my figure.  When initially
not yet at full strength of power production, the two upper unshaded sectors should be drawn
lower (though not at the same height) so that their lower portions coincide with the main
pendulum line angles of expected-maximum main-pendulum-line angular-amplitude for the
center of the small wheel.  When the major shadow boxing strike is finally suddenly ended, the
slow acrobatic turns and flips of the torque-governor-wheel are allowed to return.  Later the
immediately fleeing energy and angular momentum departing with the major acrobat (because
of its newly arrived major shadow-boxer) in one portion of my pendulum are communicated by
impulse as fast as or faster than the wind to the portions of my pendulum that are then able to
receive them.

Near the center or belly of the major acrobat or the torque governor wheel is an army of small
acrobats and small shadow boxers used without contention in their ranks to construct the central
roller axle, the six surrounding small rollers, and the outer Orffyrean sleeve of my standard
Orffyrean roller bearing.  Though of sometimes differing sizes, the other roller bearings for my
pendulum were similarly constructed to the roller bearing in my torque governor wheel.  If you
were in Gera or Draschwitz when I displayed the first two versions of my wheel each covering
their own versions of my special pendulum, you could have heard the many series of very rapid
tapping sounds (almost scratching sounds) that my armies of small acrobats and small shadow
boxers made in my Gera wheel as I hadn't masked their sound at that time.  [See p.32 in John
Collins' book for a reference to the scratching noise coming from within the Draschwitz wheel.] 
People were not aware of my special roller bearings then and did not even consider that my
special prototype roller bearings could possibly be making such unusual sounds.  I will just tell
you here about the army near the center of the torque governor wheel and you can similarly
apply the discussion to other Orffyrean "geared" roller bearings used in my invention.

My Orffyrean roller bearing consists of a main Orffyrean roller axle, six Orffyrean rollers about
the main Orffyrean roller axle, and an Orffyrean sleeve surrounding the rollers.  Some of my
enemies accused me of using a split axle.  They were quite wrong but I did not breathe out the
fact that each roller axle had approximately its radius split into two levels according to the use of
many Orffyrean sprocket lobes and many Orffyrean sprocket holes.  Each of the rollers
surrounding the roller axle similarly had its radius split into two levels according to the use of
many Orffyrean sprocket lobes and many Orffyrean sprocket holes (even though there are only
six Orffyrean lobes on each standard Orffyrean sprocket wheel according to my Orffyrean
technology as somewhat suggested by the six ends of my three stress lines in my circular figure
at the end of this Apologia).  The surrounding rollers were so constrained that they never
touched each other.  A roller only touched the inner roller axle and the outer sleeve.  The outer
sleeve had its radius split into two levels according to the use of many Orffyrean lobes and holes
facing inward.  For the roller axle, there were slight separations in angle from one Orffyrean
sprocket wheel to the next.  There were appropriate small angular offsets in sprocket wheels
