John H. Bramkamp Test

Whatever do you mean? Can't you hear the noise and vibration? Imagine the drive motor heating up? Power is being dissipated, that's for sure.

Time and money were no doubt consumed as well.  But external work being done?  Unless it is a remarkable new carpet  tearing machine, I think not.

Hi MarkE,

Yep, doesn't have any external work other than vibration and drilling a hole in the middle of the table where the central pivot is. Didn't get to putting magnets on the rim so that they undulate past fixed coils on the ground or vibration energy harvesting devices on the top.

I wasted so much time on this carpet muncher, a whole 40 minutes. The pumpkin pie that I was baking concurrently in the oven as I was building this came out awesome though. 

Hi TinselKoala,

I'm glad you like the ride. Semantics got me again this is a demonstration not an experiment. I'm only demonstrating the motion.

Hi Alan,

I think I wrote to your topic before, I have a weird issue with this site where I don't get notifications of replies to topics I have written to so apologies if I missed a question. Now that I have a test model I'll try some ideas out with a load.

To many trips to the VA.

Hope all is well and thank you for your service.
