@All

I've been thinking some more about the problems those building the gravity wheel are having.

Problem: When the rod passes over the perm magnets @ 7 o'clock, the rod tends to push out/away from the wheel (putting pressure on the bearing) and sometimes breaking the bearing or just pushing the wheel out and not pushing the rod up much.

Possible Redesign: Again, per Archer the wheel is an illusion created by the rods spinning. That being said instead of having a wheel with one central bearing, have a tube going through two bearings on each end.

This way the rod won't be able to put away from the wheel since there is pessure on the other side.

I think the term 'control rods' may be confusing some folks (self included). Are the control rods simply static weights that can be shifted along the beam and locked in place to re-balance the machine for experimentation? Or, are the control rods dynamic elements that slide along the beam to shift weight during the lift? I'm thinking back to the sliding rods in the wheel prototypes that some members have been building, and wondering if these correlate in some way...

Also, on Archer's site, he speaks of a 'suspended fulcrum point.' I'm trying to understand why it makes a difference if the beam is set on a fulcrum set upon the ground, or if the fulcrum point is suspended from above...

ATTENTION ALL. If you are in contact with any physics professors in Australia near Boronia, please contact Archer Quinn (The Eskimo Quinn) as soon as possible. He has offered to allow his device to be tested before Tuesday, 10 June 2008. This is a very important offer and would bring to rest much debate.

forgot again...

Do you really think that some nutty professor will come to look at Archer's overunity fulcrum?

Try getting a primary school student, and promise him/her a coke & hamburger for evaluation...

What is wrong with you, people? Levers are in use since the dawn of a mankind, I'm sure that someone would notice some unusual behavior long time ago...
Jeeez...

And the control rods are a gimmick. They would serve the exact same perpose as having a weighted collar around the lever. By sliding them along the line of the lever, you are changing the balance. Move them towards the end, the lever will drop towards that end; move them towards the center, the lever will rise on that end. This is apparent in Archer's pictures. Simple analysis, and can be very easily explained and calculated in detail by use of Newtonian physics. This does not omit any of the laws as we know them today; it simply introduces another variable into the equation.

Sorry, I promised him I would continue to copy this to the end of my posts so he wouldnt think the "oil men" were trying to bury his offer...
