Seriously, what the hell is your problem.

You asked me questions about electromagnets and I answered to the best of my ability. When you asked me questions I didnt have an answer to (because I'm an ME, not ECE!) I said I dont know. Then you tell me I need to have humility and stop pretending to know everything. Does this make sense to anyone?

Then you ask me a very broad question on a very vague setup. I'm sorry I didnt answer, I remember the question and I guess I for got to get to it, but in no way does this deminish my credibility. You question is like telling me you put gas in you car and it goes, then asking me to find how much gas is wasted due to drag. Not enough info champ.

To do the calcs, find the centers of mass for each component of the body, use the parallel axis theroem to find the center of mass for the system, and turn its a simple statics problem from there. Too many equations and variables to address with the little info given. If you want, provide details and I'll do the calcs for you.

You've give me a very bad wrap for minor things. If I dont know something, I will tell you and point you in he right direction. If I do know, I will provide as much feedback as possible, assuming I dont forget. I dont see how my few interactions with you could lead to so much disdain. Any person/engineer would have acted just the same in my position, and I have brought no shame to anyone.

@Archer's Cheerleaders

I appologize for the sweeping generalization. They are never fair and I will do my best to refrain from making them. I was not revering to your level of intelligence, rather your blind faith. I appologize.

BATMAN....HI ALL

The batwebsite is energybat.com The website Will CHANGE A LOT.

Have fun..................BATMAN.

The website can already use some changes.

Seriously, what the hell is your problem.

I think I made that clear. Let's try again. You said:

However, once the weights are allowed to hang below the center axis, things would change. By moving the weights vertically, the center of mass has also shifted vertically. Since the center of mass is now off the axis of rotation, the lever will always rotate so its center of mass is to the lowest possible point possible (directly below the axis of rotation, ie lowest point of energy), similar to how a ball always rolls to the lowest point on a hill.

Lowering the weights below the center axis is similar to lowering the entire lever from the fulcrum.

And this is not what's happening. What you said seems to be wrong. W R O N G. It does not work that way. Get it? My problem is that you keep bragging about how very well educated you are vs. most of the people in this thread, but it seems that you don't know what's happening with a very simple lever. Go ahead, build it. You will see for yourself that what you said was wrong.

Boy, I really can understand why the f-word is so heavily used in this thread.

It looks like BATMAN will be featuring a replication of archer's wheel! So i guess it still belongs on this thread
Video still missing though.

Heh I went to batpower.com yesterday thinking it would be there . Still available it seems.

@BATMAN

Whats the video with the spinning wheel of?
