Mechanical appliances, mechanical movements and novelties of construction; a complete work and a continuation, as a second volume, of the author's book entitled "Mechanical movements, powers and devices" ... including an explanatory chapter on the leading conceptions of perpetual motion existing during the past three centuries. nd W, succes-sively to the second and third wheel; all ofthe wheels are connected to a walking beamby crank and pitman, thus operating a pumpfor the water supply. Patented in 1831. PERPETUAL MOTION. 375 /r=^ 937. PERPETUAL MOTION. The gear problem. The frames,B, and the wheels, G, are secured upon the hollow shafts, so that they can not move independent ofeach other. Shafts are placedwithin the hollow shafts, H,upon which the communicat-ing wheels, D, and the centerwheels are secured, so thatthey can move independent ofthe frames, B, and wheels, the frames, B, makeone revolution, the wheels, D,and the center wheels make two revolutions. This is caused by theaction of the weighted levers E. Their weight, or inertia, prevents themfrom passing around the center of the axis of the wheels with whichthey are suspended in the revolving frames. The full force of thisresistance, or inertia, is applied to the other wheels of each set, and bythese wheels communicated to the center 938. PERPETUAL MOTION. Mercurial wheel. A is the screwturning on its two pivots; B is a cistern to be filled above the level of the lower aperture of the screwwith mercury; D is a reservoir,which, when the screw isturned round, receives themercury which falls from thetop. A pipe conveys the mer-cury from the reservoir on tothe float-board, E, fixed atright angles to the center ofthe screw, and furnished atits circumference with ridges tointercept the mercury, the mo-mentum and weight of whichwill cause the float-board and screw to revolve, until, by the properinclination of the floats, the mercury falls into the receiver, E, fromwhence it again falls by its s
