Subject: Suppressed Bessler wheel related phenomena (or turning the suppressed turner)

Dear Glenn Beck,

A great scientific falsehood has somehow been thrust upon our world for many years (more than 60 years).  This falsehood has come as more than just an assumption, more than just a belief, more than a statement of faith, but as a statement of fact even though the physical evidence has long been to the contrary.  That is the physical evidence has for a long time not supported this supposed fact.  Ask many people where our Sun gets its radiant power from and those who answer in modern times have typically said that the Sun gets power from fusion or rather hot fusion.  That prevailing answer is quite incorrect, though the statement has been highly persistent.  That answer is not in conformity with (among many other things) the circa 1968 McKinley Junior High School low friction demonstration.  How long do you think it will take scientists to do experiments to figure out that the Sun does not primarily get its power from hot fusion?  How long do you think it will take to replicate the McKinley low friction demonstration that I and large numbers of my fellow students saw and heard during a school assembly in Albuquerque, New Mexico about 40 years ago?  From rest, the horizontal axle wheel picked up angular speed until it came to a steady angular speed according to the wheel’s low friction, making a constant fluttering noise and producing a strong outward flow of wind onto nearby students, because of radial ridges in the wheel.  There should be no big mystery about where the solar corona gets its power from.  It wouldn’t take a rocket scientist to figure it out, assuming one has seen something like the McKinley low friction demonstration.  It is held as a great unsolved scientific mystery as to where the solar corona gets it power from.  The outer edges of the solar atmosphere can produce coronal temperatures of one million degrees Kelvin though the temperature of the Sun's photosphere is only on the order of six thousand degrees Kelvin (as if the solar coronal power appears out of nowhere).  The solution is that both the Sun and its corona get power from the same type of power source (just under different conditions) and it is definitely not hot fusion.

If replicating the demonstration done at my junior high school is too expensive, maybe an astronaut can afford to carry along a coin and do an experiment inside a space ship.  When the space ship is orbiting within a plane containing the centers of the Sun, Earth, and Moon, try rotating the coin with low friction about the coin’s center axis of rotational symmetry, with that axis perpendicular to that plane and observe if the coin picks up angular speed (according to a mark drawn on the coin).  The McKinley low friction wheel demonstration was in essence a modern-day very-low-friction-bearing example of a Bessler wheel.  Enough friction was supplied by the radial ridges to keep the wheel from rotating dangerously too fast.  Information related to the Bessler wheel appears to have been repressed for almost 300 years.  You can read more on my Bessler wheel Internet site (www1.iwvisp.com/LA4Park/) for example.  See my Internet site for an explanation of why the Bessler principle (stated below) works.

I tried several times to build a very low friction air bearing for rotations about a horizontal axis but I have so far not been successful in building one.  Typically I could not supply enough air to hold up a "wheel".  I didn't notice if the ball I saw years ago at Floating Point Systems Inc. was rotating about a horizontal axis as it floated on an upward flowing column of air.  I also didn't notice rotations of another ball as it floated on an upward flowing column of air at the children's science museum, years ago when that museum was located downtown in Albuquerque.  I unfortunately just let those opportunities to experiment just float right by me (only playing a little with the floating light-weight balls).  Maybe there are some enterprising potential science fair students who can do some experiments and capture the results on video if they ever get a chance to do such experiments.  They would need to test at least in opposing directions to help guard against asymmetries in the air bearings.  There are a great many experiments that they could do if the opportunity arises (or the opportunity is sought out).

With so much emphasis nowadays on freeing ourselves economically from foreign oil imports and reducing the cost of energy, shouldn’t we put on our thinking caps and consider where the Sun really gets its power from, without just blindly assuming it comes from hot fusion?  Shouldn’t we consider switching away from the production of greenhouse gases (associated with the burning of fossil fuels)?  Shouldn’t we at least consider switching to more environmental-friendly less-expensive new-energy sources?

Here is an example of how to convert limited success research to more fruitful research with more realistic means of transitioning to environmentally clean power production.  Controlled hot "fusion" research has had some success using horizontal magnetic fields.  What works need not be discarded.  Still, shouldn't the controlled hot fusion research acknowledge the error of trying to emulate the Sun's power production by using the hot fusion paradigm of high densities, high temperatures for a long enough confinement time for nuclear fusion and switch to a more fruitful/novel opposing Bessler principle power production paradigm?  Such a Bessler principle power production paradigm could use very low densities and reduced translation speeds {so that the nuclei (or atoms or molecules as they need not be ionized) not interfere with their neighboring nuclei/atoms/molecules and disrupt their internal rotations}, and could use long enough times of "solitary confinement" so as to encourage many little tiny nuclear/atomic/molecular size Bessler wheels to acquire rotations with very low friction about their own internal horizontal axes and so acquire larger temperatures associated with such rotations (which would somewhat tend to come to near thermal equilibrium with their more distant surroundings as the photons of heat are reflected about)?  The horizontal magnetic fields need not be especially strong as they would not be for purposes of confinement but rather to encourage internal rotations about horizontal axes.  Non-reactive gases could be used and there would be no dangerous nuclear-by-products to harm the environment, as there would be no standard nuclear reactions.  A run-away high temperature situation could for safety sake be controlled by vertical magnetic fields or better yet releasing enough ordinary internally-rotationally cold gas to extinguish the situation somewhat similar to blowing out a candle.  The temperature of the tiny Bessler wheels could be controlled or moderated and initiated by the temperature of its more distant surroundings, as such heat reservoirs would tend toward thermal equilibrium with each other.

As a more specific example, water vapor (possibly with some air, as air might be hard to keep out anyway) at low enough pressure (using vacuum pumps) could be used as the working Bessler gas and it could be surrounded by pipes carrying hot water.  After waiting for long enough for the Bessler gas to begin working (think of the one million degrees Kelvin coming off the rarified gas in the solar corona when waiting long enough, though a much lower operating temperature might be better so as not to melt/damage the pipes) heat could be acquired from the working Bessler gas to warm the liquid in the pipes.  An introduction of cooler surrounding water in the pipes would tend to cool the working Bessler gas.  In a near worst case with a run-away working gas, the pipes would melt/rupture, releasing much lower temperature water vapor and quench the gas (assuming the pipes are within the evacuated portion).  There would be no radioactivity issues to deal with as we are not speaking of nuclear fusion nor nuclear fission.  Power could normally be extracted from the hot water located in the surrounding fluid within the pipes, if not done so quickly that it lowers the temperature of the working Bessler gas.  Maybe the pipes could be layered so that the fluid in the outermost layers is fed into the inner layer(s) and the innermost layer contains the highest temperatures (just prior to being extracted) as it is closest to the innermost working Bessler gas.  In the worst case with a run-away working gas, there could be a non-chemical explosion.  Non-chemical explosions have been reported associated with new-energy research (and the use of deuterium in particular), so researchers need to be very careful to avoid creating run-away working Bessler gases (that are not easily stopped/controlled in a timely manner) as they develop new-energy power plants.  Such power production plants could eventually replace all the nuclear fission plants and fossil fuel burning plants assuming that there is still a need for such power production plants (before the new energy revolution is fully underway producing environmentally-clean very inexpensive power).

It is supposedly a big mystery as to where the planet Earth got its excess heating from.  It should not be too mysterious for anyone who is aware of the results of the circa 1968 McKinley low friction demonstration.  They both got power from the same source type.  The power was just received under different conditions.  Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion can be ruled out as predominant power sources for heating our planet Earth.  Tidal forces from other planetary bodies may contribute a little but they can be basically ruled out also.  Compaction of our Earth and the effect of meteors would help but tend to be less so with time.  Greenhouse gas effects nowadays may contribute a lot but (temporarily ignoring the actual other heat source) with the thermal boundary condition for the Earth the gases would have turned to frozen solids ages ago (thus removing any greenhouse heating effects).  With the background temperature of space being say 3 degrees Kelvin or -270 degrees Celsius or -454 degrees Fahrenheit, averaging a 6000 degree Kelvin Sun-size spot on the surface of a sphere of radius R centered about the Earth with the rest of the surface of the sphere being at 3 degrees Kelvin (for R being the distance from the Earth to the Sun) gives an average spherical boundary temperature barely above that background temperature of about 3 degrees Kelvin.  Earth is not a super cold frozen ice cube.  It would have lost any original heat ages ago.  Earth is receiving heat (power) like the low friction wheel at McKinley received power or like the various wheels built by Bessler received their power.  The situation for Earth receiving power is that according to the Bessler principle, vast numbers of nuclei within the Earth receive slightly greater rotations about their own internal horizontal axes which together contribute greatly to the heating of Earth.

With study, it should have been clear what was going on with the Bessler wheel almost 300 years ago.  This is not very timely news as the message has been suppressed for almost three centuries but better late than never.  I suppose we could just keep on denying the truth for another 40 or 60 or 300 years but that would not be especially smart.  There will still be much denial of it but if the skeptics want to believe what they want to believe, they are welcome to it.  The skeptics can believe that the solar corona is magic, that the heating of this planet Earth is magic, that the heating of planet Jupiter is magic, that dark sunspots are the wrong intensity, that increased horizontal axis rotations of wheels at low friction are magic, that trains with massive rotating wheels and massive rotating axles have huge magical efficiencies in terms of (tons)(miles)/(gallon of fuel) beyond that purely due to low wind friction, that it was impossible for one man to build Coral Castle, that it was impossible to build the Egyptian pyramids in their time frame, that the many people certifying Bessler's wheels were all wrong, and that Bessler somehow cheated with all his varied demonstrations.  People can just believe what they want to believe.  It is much simpler to believe in a single Bessler principle solving a vast number of problems than to believe in those many problems being "solved" by separate magical fairy tales.  Yet, if skeptics really want to believe in unexplained magic above believing the truth, they are welcome to so believe.

If you are interested, you can ask if there are any others who remember the circa 1968 McKinley low friction demonstration so that they can contact you and tell you what they remember of it.  I don't currently know of any of my fellow students who can verify my account of the McKinley demonstration.  My wife doesn't recall that school assembly, but she had been sick a lot at that time so she likely missed the assembly.

You are well aware of bias in news reporting.  The 300 year suppression of details of the Bessler wheel amounted to a huge bias in scientific news.  Someone needs to stick up for the truth and not be in denial of it (even when the scientific truth is unpopular or the truth is excluded according to people's scientific beliefs).  The main point of this news item has been delayed about three centuries or much longer if you count the Egyptian pyramids.  The message is not convenient but someone needs to be talking about this highly suppressed "news" item.  Scientific liberal minded thought has been dominating for centuries with respect to Bessler wheel related items.  John Collins' 1997 book pointed out that from behind the scenes Newton apparently helped suppress the viewpoint of Bessler's wheel because of Newton's rivalry with Leibniz who (while alive) had favored Bessler's wheel.  Even in more modern times, many professors have skirted around these Bessler wheel related anomalies and only let out a few parts of the problems here and there, as if the truth would somehow shake the confidence of the students.  If the students were better informed, I think the solution would have been obvious long ago.  The students would have solved the problems and we wouldn't be in such an academic pickle (with regard to suppressing all sorts of Bessler wheel related phenomena by ignoring much observed data or trying to fit the observed data to inadequate theories).

The scientific establishment has been effectively ignoring the Bessler problem for centuries even while further evidence is accumulating.  If people don't start talking about the problem, it may well remain a problem until it is impossible to ignore.  I suggest that people now discuss aspects of the suppressed Bessler wheel principle which is "A wheel rotating about a horizontal axis obtains energy from gravity so as to increase its angular speed." rather than waiting for later, as truth is a funny thing that does not go away with time.  It is better to understand the problem now rather than later so that we can in various ways make better energy progress sooner.  If the dominant scientific Bessler liberals keep on ignoring the subject, who is left to discuss it?  Maybe "weak" students and the weak rotations of things in this world will be needed to change the prevailing mindset.

If you are unwilling to talk about this subject for whatever reason, maybe you wouldn't mind passing the subject on to one or more people who might be willing to let the subject and message begin to be more openly heard and discussed.  I have met with a lot of effective yawns and disbelief (due to bias) but with study one could have a lot of fun with the subject.  Maybe a new generation (of say unbiased students) is needed who based on evidence would be willing to break with the great bias of the past.

The name Bessler conservative (relative to the name Bessler liberal) may be appropriate, as the Bessler phenomena becomes apparent when total wheel non-conservative friction is small relative to the power being produced in the wheel (which produced power increases as the wheel's angular speed increases).  Also if the Bessler principle were known as far back as the time of the Egyptian pyramids (if not before), then it is indirectly propagated from a very old tried and true idea.  The idea suggests standing for a principle (in this case the Bessler principle).  I use the term Bessler liberal to denote the opposite situation of not taking a stand for such a Bessler principle (which, if the principle is true, means not taking a stand for the truth).  One (such as myself) can ignore the implications of the McKinley low friction demonstration for nearly 40 years but that does not make the implications any less true.  It would only hide or ignore or coverup the truth.  As I changed from a "Bessler liberal" to a "Bessler conservative", others can also change when the truth becomes apparent.  Maybe Newton wouldn't have helped to suppress the Bessler wheel if he had been in possession of more information about the Bessler wheel.  Maybe then science wouldn't have taken such a wrong turn about 300 years ago.  An incomplete understanding of the underlying forces might cause one to consider the gravitational forces as purely conservative and thus not capable of being a locally sustained power source.  The Bessler phenomena would be considered non-conservative if the "actual forces" that cause it are considered.  That is the underlying more completely understood "external forces" could be considered as being non-conservative forces (as they can provide a locally sustained power source).  An even larger or greater viewpoint could consider the complete forces as being conservative internal things, as they are effectively the means whereby power is being internally transferred from distant internal locations to a local internal place in a sustained local power production sense (or rather that the "actual external forces" are neither external nor actually forces if they are considered as the means of internal transfer of power).
