Archer has posted more photos and new videos of the wheel today. Unfortunately we will have to wait until 2009 to see a working version of the Sword of God. But heck, one perpetual motion machine is better than nothing.

seriously man, read the posts before you try and knock someone.
last time it was Chet you were hasseling about the expert that YOU were supposed to pick, and now you are knocking Archer, because YOU think that the sword of god is the lever.  It's not, the wheel is the sword, the lever is the egyptian fulcrum.
please take the time to read, so that we don't have to waste our time reading your crap.
thanks.

I thought the Sword of God name was for the wheel.

We might not have to wait for a year. After all once the replications start to clock in, he's gearing for a pretty good paypal windfall, plus any royalties he'll get on his own mass produced SoG Wheels. So he might have a lot of free time to perfect the EF reactors, mass produce and sell them too.

@Graham : On the website Archer states that Soapz had the new designs posted for weeks. We obviously got sidetracked on the thread.

Weather it was or wasn't posted for weeks is beside the point the point was the first design didn't work and the nay sayers pointed out why so he went to a new design to try and fix those problems.
I can't see that he has but thats besides the point we will see after the 20th.

if/when this wheel is verified to work as intended - i have the full/complete plans/design, and a great many details given by the Inventor. As well as a nice compilation of User-modifications / suggestions made throughout this thread, and examples of what other builders have done/ are doing.

I would be happy to compile them into an organized presentation, to aid in replication.

i want to wait and see what archer comes up with on the 20th, as well as finish my own build, and run some tests.

PS - Chuck Norris is on our side ! Let's kick some oil-men asses!!

Whoa sm0ke..really? Of this new thing?!

Thank God someone has some docs.

And again, for the umteenth..I so f'ing want this guy not to be full of shit, on on the 20th i will let everyone know exactly why. I just have no faith due to his...issues.

Anyway, I am pleased to know that *someone* has detailed, or at least as detailed as possible plans and stuff for this if for no other reason than posterity

This has been an interesting adventure.

Hi Graham:
the main reason that Archer changed the wheel design(as I see it), was that all the people that had tried building it(Archer, Dusty, Red, Excomm., myself, and others I'm sure) all found that with the much stronger magnets that we are all using, there are major side forces on the rods/wheel.  Archer's first wheel was much smaller, and likely didn't have anywhere near as much mag strength.  Clanzer as usual, seems to have a great idea that might work at reducing the loads.  his use of the smaller mags, combined with the thin hacksaw blades, will go a long way at reducing the damaging forces that the rest of us are experiencing.  Archers new design has moved away from the problems of the old one, and will hopefully make for a smoother turning wheel.
