So it seems like maybe the show is over eh ..
Will AQ fade to black ?
Will we ever see a working wheel ?

He had a private google group named SOAPZ ( invite only ) which has now been renamed and is open to the public.
Anyone can join .. but he is still moderator
Really there is nothing to see though ..

i thought i might pass along the link . .for all the good it will do anyone ..
i'm hoping he will finish his wheel .. but i won't be surprised to see him just fade away .. 

He shut down his site by himself BTW ...( call it inside info if you want )
so for those of you thinking it has anything to with the MIB - think again .. He chose to disappear

AQ's google group is here

PurePower;

I hope I'm not out of line in geting in on your "spiff" with Ex.
But for the "banked energy" thing to work, as I believe it does, then you can't use a pulley system, as it is a tool, tha would also take advantage of "banked" energy.
If you could, please run the math for pushing a wheelbarrow with 50 lbs sand in it, up a 2x12 plank, over a 6 foot wall and back down the other side, then work the math for pushing the same wheelbarrow upto the wall, scooping out the 50lbs sand with your hands, and moving the entire thing to the other side.  then do it 10 times in a row.
Still the same energy used in both cases?
Nope, didn't think so.

ciao, Dirt

Listen people...

POTENTIAL ENERGY, POTENTIAL ENERGY, POTENTIAL ENERGY!!!

To move a mass M up a height H requires M*g*H energy! Done, no ifs, ands, or buts. You move through a gravity field, that's the energy it takes to move.

You can sit in your chair and bullshit all day about adding different mechanism to the system that all contribute other energy variables thus changing the entire system (because the system changes!), but what remains perfectly unchanged is, wait for it...

POTENTIAL ENERGY!!!

Get over it. Its real life, proven time and time again, used to send man to the moon and satelites in orbit, cold hard physics. No touchy feely Archurian bullshit.

Machines are not "energy banks." if they were, then they could do work with that banked energy. They can not. We can use them to do work, but we are still supplying the energy for that job. You can get your construction energy back out by destroying the structure and tapping the energy out as it falls, the same energy you used to lift. That is it.

I am done with this arguement. It has become so fucking rediculous I can't tell if you are serious or just toying with me. Either way, it is over.

Do not reply with more BS. The only reply I will respond to is (and quote):

"PurePower, I do not fully understand the concept of potential energy. I feel like it should be path dependent and/or change by use of mechanics. Can you please provide me with calculations and video proof for your statements? I know you are busy, so the formulas will help until you are able to do a video in a week or so (assuming we still need the video proof)."

Done.

@exx.

This is not quite true as I see it,
"Wait! A ladder is a tool! Aka mechanics! and even with that you can never really use it to go straight up, but at an steep incline."

I climbed the Harmon's tower 3 times (actually, an old smelter) in Murray, Utah via a ladder attached to the side of this brick smokestack, 350 feet straight up!. The rungs are 12" on center, with 3 resting platforms at Approx 1/3 and 2/3 of the way up, and right before the top. What a view! The world's biggest ashtray, and NO cop is gonna bust you for blazing one!

PS hope this works  http://l.yimg.com/g/images/spaceball.gif

It was a late (migraine) night, and you're right. But my point was that it's (ladder) a tool, like a ramp.

The spaceball gif is just rendering a blank page, but it could be my connect too.

Anyway, thanks for the input!

Thanks for the quick response to my question!

Now that I'm fully up to date on the situation, I'd like to take a 2 question poll in this forum (optional, of course).

If you feel like voicing a response to this question, great!  If not, I totally understand.


THE SIMPLE YES/NO QUESTION TO EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN FOLLOWING THIS FORUM POST:

Question 1: (Yes or No)
"Would you personally like to see Archer succeed in his quest?"

Question 2: (Yes or No)
"After viewing all of the information on Archers site, as well as all of the postings here, in your personal opinion, do you think that Archer will ultimately succeed in creating a useful power generating device that can easily be replicated?"
...

Feel free to follow your short YES/NO answer with any statement you like.

Thanks,

PwrDream

Yes

No

I'd like to see FE regardless of who it comes from, but I don't think AQ has what it takes...
