Uh oh... was just looking at Archer's site, then tried to refresh or go to another page. Site not found! I've cleared my DNS cache and still no luck. Hope it's only temporary!

Does he indeed ?!? That's how rumours start.

Not starting rumours Fletcher, just repeating what his site says.
you can believe it or not, the proof will be visable to all when the vids are loaded.

Hi Graham,

as far as the friction goes, I didn't say BIGGER, I said MORE MASSIVE, two wheels of the same size, but different masses will spin for drastictly different times on the same bearing. even though the friction is higher on the heavyer wheel, it still spins longer. friction is still a part, but as you see in this test, it is moot. the wheel with less friction stops sooner.
this is what we are trying here, and it is the same with the wheel or the lever. small weight moving a large weight, the losses to friction are minimal, because of the momentum of the large mass.
hope this helps, not sure if I explained it properly.

Edit:  sorry, didn't read the self resetting lever on his site, musta been a little birdy that told me

Edit 2:  just checked, yes I did read on his site that the resetting was sucessful today, video's tomorrow.

One Question wheres the video? I would think everyone would like to see that video.
Keep beleaving frictions not a problem and keep comming short of OU.

I wasn't going to post on this string but.

I just finished what Quinn has on his web page. I had to take 3 aspirin after looking at his diagrams of the fulcrums. What people are not looking at is that a swinging fulcrum's dynamics change and is very misleading. For when the arm is up the shorter end of the fulcrum becomes shorter and the longer part of the arm becomes longer and vise versa. This by no means proves Newton wrong at all, for when you add the change in dynamics you will have to take all in account. The reason people don't think of the swinging fulcrum is you have to have a stand for it and when you use a leaver you normally only have a rock to pry on to move something, or you stick it into the ground to push up on to push something up or over. The other additives he added to his diagram? can only be answered with a resounding DUA!!

And yes I said swinging fulcrum not Egyptian but they did use swinging type fulcrums.

By the way infringer I made more than one suggestion did your group take up the one I said about shields on the last magnet of the attracting set and the first of the repelling set to cut down the force needed for gravity to break the magnetic field.
