ORFFYREUS-BESSLER

The name ‘ORFFYREUS’ was adopted by Johann Ernst Elias Bessler as a pseudonym in 1712. He constructed the name by arranging the letters of the alphabet in two halves, writing the second half beneath the first half.  He picked out the letters of his name, Bessler, from the two halves and substituted each letter, with the one from below or above.

This system as shown in the above table was first used by the ancient scribes who authored the old testament. It is similar to the ‘atbash cipher’ and was used to disguise names of living people.

I suspected that Johann Bessler might have used this system to provide a pointer to the fact that he used other ciphers elsewhere, so I systematically acquired and translated all of his documents. I discovered that he had indeed left coded messages elsewhere; everywhere in fact.  Each and every one of the documents that he published during his life contain small pieces of information which were designed to form a set of instructions for building a replica of his extraordinary machine.

This machine was nothing less than a perpetual motion machine although these days we would refer to it as a gravity-wheel, or a gravity-mill, or even a self-moving wheel.  I use the word ‘wheel’ for the simple reason that that is how all of the witnesses to the machine referred to it in their many letters and reports about the machine.
