Roll on the 20th June

Quinn,

I was following your physics on your june 20th pre-release page and I wanted to ask a few questions about it, I got kinda lost.
After step 7 states the the lever is 1 meter on one side and 5 meters on the other, correct?

Later you come up with that it needs to travel 8 meters to get back to its position, where does this number come from? I would assume that since your making the 10kg weight on the short side fall 2 meters which is the maximum distance that it can fall if the weight was release at top dead center and allowed to fall to where it could be hooked back onto the arm at is original location, so with that in mind wouldn't you need to make the 1.2kg side travel its full amount too, which is 5m + 5m = 10m?

If thats true then it would take 1.2kg x 10m = 12kg/m of force or 12kg falling 1m to lift it back up.

Now you also said that there is a 10kg weight on the small side that is the falling weight, but if thats the case wouldn't that mean that it has more force then the extended side, seeing that 10kg x 1m is greater than 1.2kg x 5m? so with those number the extended side would never fall only the short side would cause its heavier.

Now you keep stating that you have a power ratio of 10:1 but really you have 5:1, but if we subitute the 10:1 and adjust the lenght of the arms to match, meaning make the extended side 10m instead of 5m, that would mean that it would then take 1.2kg x (10m+10m) = 24kg/m of force to bring the arm back up.

Now seeing that the it takes 24kg x 1m of force to bring the arm back up and we only generate 10kg x 2m or 20kg x 1m that tells me that it doesn't produce enough force to bring it back up?

Please explain!!

Just out of curiousity, if you set out the detailed terms of your bet only as a joke, why did you activate the email address in Paypal?

Try to keep up. I was calling Rainer's bluff. I had no intention to deceive you, I will leave that to Mr. Quinn.

Have fun Wink

it's not seriously, is it?


guess not

That sir is why I am The Mighty Quinn becuase i do not have that power issue as a newtonian does.

Come on Quinn, Explain where you screwed up in your math..... answer my above questions...... you say you want people to build this but you feed them number that mean the machine would never work....
