This is the transcript of  Dansie's interview on the last SmartScarecrow show:



Dansie: I was down there, there's a project which we've been following for nearly eighteen months now, it was a buoyancy-gravty device- ah.. Wayne Travis, and ah.. It was something I had found that I wasn't sure either way, ah whether they could achieve what they are claiming, and that is a mechanical device, if you like, that could self-run and produce excess energy. And as you know in the history of Mankind, nobody's ever achieved that.  I saw enough evidence for me to be convinced that (shrug) yeah, it's worthwhile having a go at it. But it's dragged on a bit, but I have been impressed and encouraged by two things. It's TOTALLY (emphasis Dansie's) evolved into something else, there's no big tanks and all that now, it's nearly solid state, it's still moves but it's very simple, can (or can't? unsure here) be flat-packed, and they are very close.. to the point ...  where (hesitates) we we can actually.. where we can actually ah... where I think within the next month or two c
  learly d
  efine and test whether it is going to produce excess energy and self-run. Ah ..

(Hendershot cuts him off for a commercial break....)

after break:

Dansie: The Wayne Travis buoyancy device...

(Hendershot asks, laughing,  "What's going on in Oklahoma?")

Dansie: Well... I'm still encouraged by what I've seen...ah However (emphasis) it's got down to the point now with the second device that... it's interesting he's got some very clever engineers and people, people flown from Greece and Switzerland and Canada to come and lend a hand, he's got some clever engineers, they've all predicted it will, ah, self-run and produce excess energy, but as you know the final proof (coughs) for me to see it self-run and produce excess energy. So they are very close for the latest prototype to be able to demonstrate that and that will bring it to conclusion one way or the other; I'm very encouraged, I still rank it highly, ah they are a very great group, a very honest group, ah However (emphasis) ah you know (come on? unclear) well half the scientists and engineers saying "hey this could really work", Half the scientists and engineers I know saying "pixie dust, this is a lot of BS" So, but they've done a great job, I can see why it had to evolv
  e, I can
   see huge improvements where from manufacturing and logistics point, you could flat-pack this like an Ikea system, they've got a third one in the wings that would be the one you'd throw in the basement...But I expect within the next two months that this will be brought to a conclusion. I am speaking positively of it yet but I have NOT signed off on it. So that's about as far as I can take it at this stage.

Celebrating Blessings and Direction 

December 18, 2012

Hello Friends and Family,

May you all have a Very Merry Christmas,   We are currently testing Rams to prepare to close loop the TAZ, the first tests today were very exciting - good to be here.     

Several visitors, one from Africa, Kansas, Tulsa, and even a complete coincidence - a minister stopping by to offer a good Word (he used to work as an engineer - should have seen his excitement...)     Mark's (unofficial) Visit went very well as I shared last week. 

Mark agrees with the path we have taken to research and develop the TAZ, and he is impressed with the team work and support from all of you.. 

Here is his report on his visit:     "Finally I get a chance to write this.[/color][/size] First of all I wish to thank Wayne and his family, for their wonderful hospitality, and friendship on my visit.

The visit was not for validation purposes but to evaluate what has happened in the last 18 months, and where the project is heading. The deign has changed radically from the one I last visited. There are no longer cylinders moving within cylinders, but simple to erect piping using of the shelf parts. I am impressed on how the system has evolved, the effort and expertise that has been applied since my last visit. This was all of course done an a minimal budget.

I always had some reservations about the first one given the logistics of manufacturing and transporting. The new design offers many advantages:

1. Reduced tooling and manufacturing cost.
2. Easy to "Flat pack " reducing transportation and assembly costs
3. The ability to use low skilled labor for assembly
4. The elimination of seals and parts that could wear by moving against each other
5. The ability to engineer into a much smaller unit.


Some of the components have been used of the old system to gather pressure which can be converted to hydraulic pressure to assist with the self running, and be accumulated after each cycle to be bled of for power production. I am impressed with the number of engineers, people and other volunteers who have traveled from other countries and did their own assessment based on data collected.

There are a number of replications also underway. A lot of modeling and simulations has been undertaken by Wayne, his engineers and other helpers all concluding this is feasible. On the other hand there are many critics and historical evidence to date is no one has ever achieved a self running, freestanding device that could sustain itself running let alone provide any excess energy. It has been suggested recently that some other form input energy could be used and the device used to lever this to some mechanical advantage such as pumping water.


This could be explored further. The new device is functional, appart from an accumulator to harvest the excess energy. This would be in the form of either one or two hydraulic rams which would return any harvested energy to an accumulator tank.

Some of this energy is used to assist in the operation of the device. There has been much discussion on forums both private and public about the theory of this device, many simulations and projections based on data gathered.
Ultimately it gets down to demonstrating that there is a self running device that accumulates excess energy no mater how small.
I have witnessed three technologies where this is the case even though the scientists and engineers may argue about why it is accepted because of the data that supports the end result.

This can be easily monitored with the current sensors:

1. That monitor the pressure in the accumulators.
2. The measurement of start up pressure of water and air (known as the pre-charge) is maintained.
3. That water levels and heights are maintained in the device.

The device should run long enough to account for any energy used in the pre-charge phase. Wayne and his assistants agree on all of the above and are close to finalizing modifications and installing components so this test can take place. I also feel it would be also useful to take up Jim Dunn's offer of sending Ken Stafford for a review of the data collected to date, simulations, projections and assumptions made. This would give another level of confirmation and possible clarification of some of the principles that may be involved and not known at this stage. He may also suggest further engineering refinements. The amount of power generated at this stage is not as important as the ability for the device to self run and if possible produce a usable excess no matter how small.

This in itself is a monumental breakthrough if achieved. There is a high level of confidence amongst the consulting engineers and assistants, I personally remain positive, but can not sign of until we get the data by the approved methodology. Thanks you Jim, Rick, Wayne and please pass on my kindest regards to Sandy and the rest of your family and wonderful crew. Kind Regards Mark Dansie "     Before and after Mark's visit, I spoke with a couple of the Validation Team members, and I have invited them down to review our work and give guidance on the testing.     We could have visitors this week! This will go along way towards improving understanding and help us avoid errors.     


Single ZED Replication Challenge winner!   

"Dale Wilcox"   I called the winner of the ZED replications, it was a hard choice, we had five builds, an enormous amount of work that was put in to each of them.     In the end - what we gained was a fine group of builders and thinkers willing to test something outside the box. The model chosen for the prize was the one built well enough to be tested and was painstaking tested to assist in verifying the Simulation.     These Builds will be in our discovery center - when the builders are finished playing with them.     Very Honorable Mention - Chris Hamm, he built the only single ZED that was required less input than it could generate 147% efficient (for a single three layer system - that is pretty darn good) - I highly expect that Chris will be leading the group running for the Closed Loop Challenge!     Frankly - these were both better than my original system - so respect and hats off to them! All five participants were awarded share certificates of HER.     

Spreading the News - Welcome all the New members of HER. 

Thank you new members who have just joined our mission, your volunteering to add and to help this mission is very much appreciated .......as Mark said during his visit....... "You have been Blessed".     I am honored - and quickly acknowledge .....the Glory to God.
