Hello All,

I also have been watching this thread from the beginning.  It has been an interesting insight into human nature and the effects of anonymity on the internet.

I have seen a plethora of attitudes here, save the most important one (with a few exceptions), and that is curiosity.  Not the vapid curiosity of the armchair enthusiast, but the curiosity that drives someone to wonder, "what is going on here?  I simply must find out!"   

How excellent it would be if those who are complaining built Archer's devices and proved him wrong?  Or right?  Instead, they resort to name calling and invective.  I wonder - do you want OU to be reached, or is it more important that no one get there before you?  So what if everything you learned all those years in school about physics was incomplete or even wrong?  Would your world end?  or just begin?

On the plus side, some of your behavior has helped me to understand why introducing new ideas and discoveries are so damned difficult and why inventors hide their discoveries.  We are the ones who should be supporting each other, but instead we tear each other down.  The oil industry doesn't even have to lift a finger - we're doing it for them for free.  Good job.  Think about *that* next time you fill your car with petrol.

At the end of your life, when you're asked what the pinnacle of your accomplishments was, I hope it is more than proving that pulleys do more work than skateboards up hill with the wind blowing from the SouthEast on a Friday. 

Honest to Pete. 

In Peace,
Jen

Hallelujah to that! Well said Jen.

@ all

I'm really starting to like Dirt's idea better than the wheel.

Strange but true.

With the addition of either my proximity ramp or Archer's mag switch (both as yet unproven, but Archer has a better track record than me in realizing an idea, whether his or someone elses) it's a machine with fewer moving parts and not susceptible to gravity (truly an engine that can help granting us the stars) with a few minor additions like the pictured "Dirt Devil" (I couldn't help naming it either) below.

The graphic pretty much moves the generator gear into the small end of the double pulley assembly form it now has, and "chains" the roller mags using magnetically inert intermediary rollers into a continuous loop while supporting the entire chain (this would probably be better realized by using ball and socket or ceramic bearings that roll along a track and suspend the mag rollers so surface drag is lessened) turning a gear attached to a generator.

This design makes the same engine able to realize different RPMs with proximity variance or the addition of more mags in the form of different inside or outside "belts", it's EDIT MOSTLY directionally un-effected in relation to power output, it's easily scaled in size with very basic mechanics that once you know the principle are easily discerned if it stops working, can be throttled and turned OFF.

Now the form and shape don't really matter that much as long as it's a continuous surface for the track.

Anyway, take a look and see if you can see what I mean.

EDIT

Now I have to look @ table top laminate or take a torch to plexi to form it and get a busload more mags to test it.

Hey.......Newt, you still around? I could see some CNC ability coming in real handy about now.

Hi Jen,

I'm happy with them so far.

I don't think anyone here wants AQ to fail.  The issue is that supporters have touted that he has 'solved' the OU/FE puzzle.  He has shown many examples and nifty experiments, but that does not sum up to a working OU/FE device until he succesfully puts it together.

Yes the experiments are great and good for demonstrating differents events and configurations, but to simply proclaim "there, all you have to do is put them together" is NOT proof that OU/FE has been found.

Some people here have given him the crown already when in fact he not yet succesfully found OU/FE.  They cling to the hope that he is the Energy Saviour that already has the answers, when in fact he is an inventor searching for the answer like everyone else.  There is nothing wrong with being a searcher, it is the claim to holding the key to OU/FE without solid proof.

Go ahead and flame me for being an Oil Man, but then re-read my post.  I have not attacked anyone or said "it won't work".  I merely stated facts.

Hey Ex,

Dirt Devil, I like it, LOL.

In my experiances, usually it is the simple solutions that end up being the best, which is why I like this design.
Good work with the newest mod,  what do you think of just having the roller pass through a coil on the ramp.  No moving parts, only induced current drag.
Also we could use Archers new gate key, activated by the roller on a mechanical arm to eliminate the wall on exit.

Anyways, I closing up the shop for the weekend, it's time to release more of that "banked" energy in a bunch of cold beer

ciao,   Dirt
