Not sure if I'm speaking for others in here not, but me, don't care to be tested. Not into psycho babble !

You mean the one Bessler was aware of. Could be why you don't remember. The source is someone else's work I've been working on.

Don't care to give credit to someone who posts a poor design online and let's others do his work for him.
 Smart of him if he can get people to do it for him.

hi,

let's put some numbers to this machine.

let's say all tubing is square.  let's say each arm is 24 inches long (the area of the water to be moved) and 4 inches square, with a 4 inch square hub.  this gives us a total length of 52 inches.  this is the height you have to raise the liquid (let's use water). let's use a 1 inch square tubing to do the transfer.

so,.. there will be 52 cubic inches of water x .03606 lbs. per cubic inch = 1.875 lbs. in the transfer tube.  since the water container is 4 inches squared, we will have a surface area of 16 sq.in. to push against.

so,.. 16 x 1.875 = 30 lbs. this is how much the ball has to weight to equal the water.  to make it go up, we would need something heavier.  let's say 1 lb would do that and overcome the resistance of the water seal in the container.  i think that is being very generous.  this makes the ball weight 31lbs.

so,.. now we have 24 x 4 x4 =  384cu.in. of water in the container.  so, 384 x .03606 =  13.847 lbs.

if we add the weight of the ball (31lbs.), we get a total of 44.847lbs.

now we have to figure the leverage.  since the container is full of water and the ball (next to the axle), it doesn't gain any leverage.  correct me if i'm wrong.

but,.. the ball alone in the other half, rolled out to the end now, gains a 2 to 1 advantage.  this makes it feel as if it weights 62lbs.

conclusion
i think the ball by itself will stay at the bottom (62lbs > 44.847lbs).

did i miss something?

There is a reason why the ball can push all that water to the top. It is heavier than the water. So how can the filled water container on the top be able to turn the bottom ball clockwise and upwards? The ball will right after the bottom be slightly lifted mor and more by the water from the top position, because any angle on the spoke will lighten the pressure on the ball against the piston which is pushed down. Generally, there should be equal amounts of water in level position and the two balls should be in the middle of each spoke. I think therefor that this design will not work. You need input of external energy in order to expedite the return of the initially potential energy that was last gained. Only in this way you can make this wheel work. In this situation you have a great delay in the process which makes this wheel not only still, but it will counterforce any attemt of rotation.

That makes some sort of sense to me. Let me give it an eyeball once more. There might be something which is overlooked. The upper ball might be too close to the center to provide enough torque. Also the lower ball will move slower as the water volume increase in the upper cylinder. This delay might play a role that will balance and equalize the energy on both sides. The question is: will the balls and the water level be in a position that will contribute to rotation - taking inertia and delays into account?

Hello, since there is water in all of the tubes that connect their opposite cylinders, their weights counter eachother, the mechanism stays in balance.  They are always full of water, all of them.  It's like adding a 5 pound weight to the ends of each cylinder, the balance is still maintained.
  I'm not sure if this is what you meant.
  There is one major difference between Bessler's wheel and the Pinwheel free energy Generator, the Pinwheel Generator exists as a fact, and not as a rumor.  There is no room for Bessler worship here, where is the evidence of this great working wheel? Where is the evidence for any of them?
  The overunity industry has many many legends in the field, none has ever produced anything but rumor.  Show me one of any of their machines that worked, or one of any of their complete designs.  There aren't any because they were all frauds. 
  I have posted a past design addition that ensures the operation of this Pinwheel Generator.  What did Bessler ever really do? Bessler was a fraud.
  The rule is if there is no full set of plans, and/or there is no working model, it is a fraud.  If there is a claim that a working model exists but inspection is not allowed-it is a fraud.
  There is a full set of plans of the Pinwheel Generator.
  The only critics of these plans have only confusion rhetoric as a basis for their attacks.    Russ
