I don't dismiss for the group, just from my personal interest.
You have reached the nadir point there.

Yup, addled does me just fine mostly when I look around at what others are doing to themselves and their fellow man.
I mean look @ you being able to not understand what I was trying to say

With pictures even!

All yer fancy high class book learnin don't fash me none. 

The funny t hing is...
I watched your rebuttal videos, and as smug as you were/are...i do not think you realize that your video actually...confirmed and supported what purepower was saying...even if YOU don't realize it

I mean, I watched, and I listened to the conclusion you drew and my mouth just dropped open,

So, to make sure it wasn't "just me", I went and got my high school son to watch...and said NOTHING.

He said:

"Umm...does the guy with the magnets not realize that he changed the lever's center of balance when he made the back longer? That doesn't change anything, it just redistributes the weight around. You have to re balance it."

So yeah, while YOU might not understand the results of your experiment, I assure you that the conclusion you drew from what was in front of you was very clear...hence Purepower's comment on youtube and here.

You missed that post were I said I have a "tongue in cheek" fetish?

Balance does no work. Pure and simple.
It has potential, but needs imbalance to realize it.

Why don't you and PureP go have a mutual admiration society meeting somewhere else please.

im thinking something like this:::

4x identicle blocks of wood
4 identicle lengths of all-thread matched to fit
4 idencitle bearings matched to fit

1 jar of plumbers glue.

1) Drill equal holes in the blocks of wood.
2) CAREFULLY glue the bearings at the center of each piece, so as NOT to hinder he action of the bearing
    with the glue.
3) Glue the all-thread into the holes in the blocks.
then i can just mount the blocks on stands, each raised higher (or further out i guess) so the rods dont hit each other.

pardon my crude sketch of a 3-d bearing on a 2-d plane...  Brown blocks are wood. grey is breaings, and the blue thing running through the center is supposed to be the 'rod'..

Excomm mighty interesting that is my design technically but I thought of a little revision to get the rod to be pushed and pulled up to maximum potential weather it will work or not is another question but if we achive say a 75% of the rod on the unbalanced side it should work no questions asked...

Dusty if you are reading this please jump in I havent seen any posts from you recently...

Aces Dude!

Good ideas all!

I would just suggest a hard wood like oak for the blocks (I'm sure you were already on top of that) and that your stand structure be adjustable, interchangeable, and the same weight at each rod placement.

I have a metal construction bias from my upbringing and that's why I used those materials...but yours seems just as good!
