Today we, those who know Orffyreus and understand his invention; and philosophy are very few, and on this account, his honor is still greater. Like Orffyreus many other inventors of the overbalancing wheel have had the same doom, they have gone into oblivion and we need to do a lot to bring back the glory they deserve.
This 17 - 18th century?s German inventor of perpetual motion machine, Orffyreus (1681- 1745) holds an eerie fascination to all of us. So now, let us talk about Orffyreus/Bessler who sold his soul for perpetual motion. In an odd way, his whole life revolved around perpetual motion. Orffyreus was the one of the rare and most brilliant perpetual motion inventor the world has ever had. His work on perpetual motion machine is unparalleled by any one either before or since.
