Wow.

I was castigated AGAIN on this forum for pointing out something someone typed WAS NOT TRUE...

What do you guys do?

JUMP ON ME because the LIAR meant well?!?!

Do you not see how...unbelievably fukntuz batshit crazy that makes you guys look to the causal outside observer?!

It credits you so much more if ya just say "That's not correct and you know it", and just leave it there.

Makes ya look much more sane and level-headed when they come back to ask what you mean.

I point out out that not only did the poster LIE about the source of the info, but said info is a well known example of junk science and you guys decide to ATTACK me in follow ups about "not getting the point"?

PLEASE look up the definition and concept of "confirmation bias" and why it is so bad for your work, your 'scene' and ultimately, your progress.

This seems to be the crux of the deal, and why so many may be apt to attack instead of discuss.

Until you see it as "OUR work, OUR 'scene', and ultimately OUR progress", you are the casual outside observer.

Not you. Not me. Not them.
But every mother stinking liver loving one of us on this rock.

"Our problem" can't be solved by anything less than "Our solution".

If this device works, but no one uses it, what difference did it make?

Smoky,

those linear bearings work real nice, got to keep the friction down if using a lot of rods.  My opinion would be to use the Neo mags, that way the wheel could be smaller to run a good size generator, hopefully will be able to fit in peoples basements and such.  You r doing great work, I am eager to see everyones working wheel with their upgrades to archers design,  I hope to start building once a design is done that incorporates all the advantages you guys come up with.

To all the builders of the wheel:

Had an idea just come about.  I see all the wheels are basically being supported by the axle from one side, meaning as the wheel gets heavier near completion, puts and upward ford on the back end of the bearing (more friction).  How about supporting the wheel from front and back, therefore less force on the axle?  That may overcome any tendencies to break axles or early bearing wear and will reduce friction.

Not really.

And that's the crux off another problem exx. It is hard for it to be an "OUR" thing when some of "US" seem hell-bent on being childish, irrational and dishonest.

I mean have you ever stopped to think how many lurkers might have useful info or helpful insight but won't contribute because they don't believe in the Energy Fairy or the Black Heli Oil Man Assassination Squads and will thusly open themselves to attack for NOT believing something utterly stupid without question?

As a general rule, I don't attack people that mispell things online because I think it is the weakest way to discredit an opposing view: "Oh YEAH, well you can't even SPELL"...something that you yourself have...resorted to, exx.

However, when you are going to claim that people still understand stuff, based of a fake study with a gimmick mnemonic, and worse state that "your secretary once wrote this"...

Come on.

Not you. Not me. Not them.

NONE of that, while all very poetic, has *anything* to do with me being attacked for calling a "fantasy fib maker upper" just that, using sufficiently less letters.

The following is is a excerpt from the writings of "Archer Quinn" and are ?Archer Quinn, 2008, originally sourced from http://www.surphzup.com/gpage5.html @ 9:31 AM GMT -4:00

I will not be loading any more pics and vids at this point unless i can get it to run better than it is now, some of the materials are clearly a bad choice, but I am out of money altogether and cannot make any changes, teaching you to build it this way entirely seems like a bad course. You can watch the video on the day, it turns itself but poorly. the round rods in square channel were a bad choice but with the materials i had my only choice. The superglue keeps breaking after about tem minutes or so another set of magnets will split or the will come apart from the rods. I know you can buy threaded pot rare earth mags which would be ideal. And it actually runs without the extensions anyway. turns out the key was to build super walls at the base outside arc single then two then three and so on up past the internal hub pull equivalent, so it runs it past any pull from the hub inside lifter mags and shoots it out the top of the arc.

This is the story of Archer Quinn...right here. This is the defining moment in this entire...thing...and I wanted it preserved, as is.

I leave it to others to comment on it, either way, given the history of the entire saga.
