Bill McMurty , Sorry for being so long to respond. I think you May be
on to something. It reminds me of a physics question, if a man weighing
180 lbs and carying 3 10 lb stones wants to cross a bridge whose maximum
weight carying capacity is 200 lbs.How can he cross the bridge with the
stones? The most common but incorrect solution is to juggle the stones
while crossing the bridge. However if a man was to throw 1 stone in an
arc from just before the bridge and and catch the stone just after
crossing the bridge the frequency of his net weight would have changed
while crossing the bridge and he could cross the bridge safely and
arrive with all his precious stones. The falling and and throwing are
balanced energys in both solutions but the frequency is substantially
different as is the net result. IMHO the bessler wheel may be possible
but the frequency of the imbalance seems to me to be the key. the above
example is a linear problem the net weight of the man and stones remains
the same. Theoretically if you could maintain the duration and frequency
of weight loss/gain the wheel would turn. O da-m hears my brain trying
to think again too many projects too little time and I still have to
work to feed myself, where is Ed McMahan when you need him he keeps
telling me checks in the mail Good luck
