Roll on the 20th June

I just watched episode 4 and I think Archer dropped his cam (distorted audio, but still mostly understandable).
The delivery would lead me to believe there are more to come.
I just hope the audio is cleaner, and if not, I'll see what I can do with some filters.

@ PureP

Thanks (belatedly) for the formula!
I'll use it and see if it will help me with "my" little will'o'wisp of an idea.

Happy Birthday, Archer!!....your Aussie tenacity reminds me of our yankee ingenuity here in the US of A.  Keep up the good work.   Please remember, we're facing a New Energy Paradigm...................................Death to the New World Order!!.............

The boon of free energy will completely change the military. No longer will they have major supply problems with fuel. Planes, tanks, ships will all be able to operate 24/7 without having to worry about refueling.  They will be able to develop unmanned drones to spy on everyone, all the time, everywhere. They will be able to develop robots that are tireless and require no resupply whatsoever except ammunition. Terminator anyone?

Imagine if the Nazis had had free energy?

Chillun Puh-leeeeeeeeez! (Children, please!)

Could we ALL (I'm as guilty as any other) just wait and see?

I'm willing to give him longer than today, but if it were a bet I'd have to tell him to pay up.

He made the rules, we'll see if he can deliver.

EVEN IF HE CAN'T, we are still talking, we are still sharing ideas, we are still learning to respect one another (we'll it's the slowest of the processes), and we still have a common goal.

Those "Newtonians" probably took offense because someone called them an idiot (but it kept them around).

Those Archerians (I like it better that way), well some of them (again, myself included), may not have degrees and the purest understanding of Newtonian Physics, but we're willing to give another a chance to prove what he has promised.

Even IF this was the biggest con in FE history (Which is tough since there isn't money involved), there have been some good ideas, a few minor discoveries, a few agreements of understanding, and more than a few laughs.

If you don't think those, in and of themselves, are worth anything I feel very sad for you.

So, if it (he) bombs and can't deliver, a couple of days of Newt's gloating and then a dead thread?


Screw that.


There are thinking people here (ALL types of intelligences).

We have builders, thinkers, dreamers, schemers (website idea ), scholars, and dopers (All right, you probably don't need the last one as a contributing member).

If a think tank like that can't make any of the ideas work, then the world ISN'T ready for any of them because we obviously can't understand them yet and aren't intelligent, intuitive, or investigative enough to.

We all believe that false by being here.

Let's (because of Archer, or in spite of him) prove it instead of just thinking/believing in it.

A machine doesn't change the world.

The adaptation of it to the world, or the world to it, DOES.

We've got a lot of hard work ahead of us in either case,

We better start planning (each to their own belief).

Kosher?

I totally agree with everything you said there Exx and I agree with what Power said about nay sayers helping by pointing out problems, if it wasn't for us nay sayers Archer would still be at his first biuld and would not of progressed to the stage his at now, where he may have something that may work, by changing the lever and fixing the magnetic forces now he may have something close and he got to that by the nay sayers telling him if he doesn't change this and that theres no way on earth it would work.

@ Bobbo

That is a danger for ANY device.

I can use a car for transportation, or to kill.

I can use a gun to hunt animals for food, or to kill.

I can use chlorine to purify water, or to kill.

It's still a choice.
EDIT
We choose the politicians (or we're supposed to be able to) that would make your scenario above a reality, or not.

As for the spying, look to nano-technology more for that than FE.


The nice thing about this being an open source idea is everyone (armed nations) will have a small arms race because of it, but it will still allow for "balance of power" since everyone got it at the same time.

Free energy will do to politics what "scab" (cheap foreign) labor has done to unions (in the USA).

A man can hope at least.
