The Lee-Tseung Lead Out Theory

How to deal with comments such as:  someone has tried it before.  It does not work.  Do not waste your time.

The Students have to deal with the above comments.  After some brainstorming, they decided on the following:
(1)   Is there a credible theory behind the experiment?
(2)   Does the “someone” understand the theory?
(3)   Can we learn any skills in the process?
(4)   Do we have the resources to complete the experiment?
(5)   What happens if the experiment is successful?
It is important to replicate an experiment if someone claims that it is successful.  It is even more important to re-design, plan and execute an experiment if it is theoretically sound.  Someone could have done something similar but if they did not have a theory to guide them, they could easily miss the important points.

The most obvious example is Experiment 001 where we used a coil to repel two weak magnets to the ends of a tube with unequal padding.  The non-scientist could not do the experiment because he could not choose the right weak magnets and adjust the distance between them.  He did not put in non-magnetic material to separate the magnets.  He did not use a large enough current.  Or the current was too strong and demagnetized the magnets.  He openly claimed that the experiment could not be done because he tried it.

More than 10 students have successfully repeated the experiment.  Tong Po Chi improved it with 2 coils and 1 magnet.  That is the difference between true scientific training and yelling on the Internet.

Lawrence, you are a cruel and cynical hypocrite. At least do some research. You will find that your ideas and designs are not new at all...

You do not understand them, TinselKoala. How can you say that
they are not new?

Maybe they are new; maybe they aren't. It doesn't matter if Lawrence's
device will heat my home this winter. And your attention to this thread
convinces me that Lawrence has a goer here.

The Students bought the material for the coils.  They cut the rectangular pieces that would slide into the pre-cut slots.

They are waiting for the slots to be cut and the coils to be glued.

Things are a step closer.

You're a strange fellow indeed. I have more confidence in TK making it to the American Idol finals competition than in Mr. Tseung's mumbo jumbo Physics!

As to Lawrence's invention heating your stone cold London home, I have more confidence in global warming changes turning the British climate into something more livable during the winters than in Lawrence's invention making your life less miserable. And I should know, since I spent 10 years of my life living in that bloody cold country as a student!

You don't understand his Physics. That's the point.

You have never tried to understand. Its not your job,
is it, chrisC?
