Archer, just because you know it will work, does'nt mean you have to keep taking the Micheal out of PP.
Cant help but notice he still keeps coming back, snigger!

@ Exx,

To answer your question, the attraction to metal increases with Mass. not necessarily "thickness".

Though it stands to reason, a thicker piece of similar metal will have more mass.

magnetic satturation is directly related to the number of molecules in the piece of metal.

Thank you all for the birthday greetings!

For my birthday, would you all mind reading what I have to say below? (I know its long, but would end a lot of useless banter)

EDIT: I want to start with an apology for being an ass at times, especially to you AQ.

I am just like everyone on this thread. I love to build, tinker and dream. I love trying new things and watching my ideas come to life. Ever since I was 5 I loved to build and design. My first "OU" idea came to me when I was eight. It was that all magnet motor I mentioned a long time ago.

I went on to college to better understand these things I observed and knew. I saw things and understood them, but wanted to know them numerically. I have always been great with math and science, so engineering was a logical choice.

In college, they dont tell you what you learn is the absolute truth, the end all that be all. In fact, many professors (the good ones) will tell you what parts are not fully understood. For instance, in strength of materials, we do not fully understand buckling of members. We have not yet fully developed our understanding or an equation that describes what is observed in the lab. However, there are still many things we do understand and can describe perfectly, such as deformation of members under loading, yield strength in tension or compression, etc.

The way I see it, scientific progress and education is like an endless mountain. We will always continue to learn new things our ancestors didnt before. All Newton did was take a first step up that mountain and clear a small path for everyone to start up. Sure there are other ways up that mountain, like Archurian analysis, but when there already exists a huge trail that works why reinvent the wheel (no pun or insult intended)? Sure the path may not be perfect and has a few "bumps" along the way, so why not spend time making the path smoother or taking the path a little bit further up the hill? (Thats what researchers do)

We are all united in that we are all on the way up the mountain. We are different in the paths we chose to get there. As someone on the main path, I am on this thread to lend out a helping hand to those on the Archurian path. Im not saying either path is "right or wrong," they are just different and one is a bit more developed and accepted.

Even I question my path at times. Thats one reason I am thankful for my university. Not only are they forward with the flaws, but we have support labs for every major course so we can prove to ourselves through observation and analysis the things we "know." I will never accept something just because someone say so. This is true for my professors as well as Archer. I must know for myself before I accept the claim.

Back to my involvement with the thread, I will use another metaphor.

Imagine your country is at war (not too hard if you live with me in the states!) Now you send over a spy to enemy territory to learn of your opponents tactics. The spy comes back and says they plan to attack a certain base because they see a weakness in the defense system for a particular area.

Now, do you shoot the spy in the face and call him a terrorist? No! You listen to what he is telling you and say "good point, we should really work on our defense in that area" or "we know we are weak there, we have addressed the issue by doing x, y, z."

In a sense, I am this "spy." I am not here to tell you parts of the build are weak because I want it to fail. I have insight from the viewpoint of the "enemy," why not use what Im saying to your advantage?

I really do want the wheel to work. I have just seen things along the way I dont agree with or accept until I see it for myself.

That has been my position all along. I tried hard in the beginning to remain mature about my opposition, but with all the insults thrown around it was hard not to join in. I am young, stubborn, and wont sit back silently and take insults, especially when the majority of them are simply because I am misunderstood.

The thread has take a turn for the better in the last few posts. As I said before, stop picking fights with the kid. It is pointless and I am only here to help.

Thank you all for listening, I hope we can all get along now...

@shakman

I know my spelling sucks. English was never an interest or strength of mine. I use spell check when Im on my computer, but not on my phone. To be honest, I never really thought spelling would be an issue.

I also dont think ability to spell has anything to do with my credibility in math or physics. If you still feel this way, take it up with Archer. I dont think he'd be to happy to hear you dont think he is good at math or physics because he cant spell, and we all know he cant spell (no offense AQ, were on the same team here!)...

Seriously, grow up. And yes, this is coming from "the kid." We were all playing nice and you just had to go shake things up.

I dont care how damn important you think you are, AQ is a big boy and doesnt need you to fight his fights for him.
And you are certainly in no position to start fights of your own. What, 12 posts with absolutely nothing of value contributed to the thread? You can take your snide little remarks and shove them up your ass until you have something important to say.

And yes "and still [I ] watch, and still [my] wonder grew." I love to learn. I like my path up the mountain, but is it really that amazing that I show interest in the paths other people are taking? Seriously, find a new phrase. It meant something a while back when AQ said it, but its kinda burnt out thanks to overuse by dumbasses like you.

Think of something new to say or bring something of worth to the table. Until you can do either of those, we really dont need you around. And dont even bother replying to this. In fact, PLEASE DONT. We dont need your trash filling up webspace. We are pretty forgiving around here when it comes to mudslinging, but only from those who have "proved their worth." You have proved nothing, other than that you are an ass. Shut up, grow up, help.
