Roll on the 20th June

[sevich]

This is what the future will bring. It's not a prediction. It's a fact, as sure as the sun
will rise tomorrow.

1. AQ's deadlines will come and go without result.
2. His loyal band of Gullibles will slowly but surely drop off the bandwagon.
3. AQ will fade into obscurity having contributed nothing.
4. His place will be taken by another with a handful of magnets and camera.
5. The Gullibles will hail their new leader and even send yet more money.
6. Return to step one, change the initials and continue.
I know most people here will not accept this reality.
Believe me that it's even harder for me to accept, but for different reasons.

How's this:

a) George Bush = Archer Quinn

b) Iraq = Working FE wheel

c) U.S. Congress = A Q loyalists

d) American Public = All forum members

e) U.S Military in Iraq = Paypal

[Archer Quinn/ Bush] convinces [all forum members/ American public] he will have total control of [Iraq/ Working FE wheel]  by the 20th. Meanwhile [Iraq/ Working FE wheel] is showing signs of pockets of resistance. The total control of [Iraq/ Working FE wheel] on the 20th has now passed and as a consequence has pressured [Archer Quinn/ Bush] to plead [All forum members/ American public] to stay the course!  Meanwhile [Archer quinn/ Bush] has requested to the [U.S.Congress/ A C Loyalists] for money to put toward  [U.S Military/ Paypal] in Iraq]

All is not as it seems. The Islamic rebels are laying low in ambush preperations of U.S. convoys allong main roads. [Archer Quinn/ Bush] has been in touch with advisers regarding a complete abandonment [from gravity to magnetic FE wheels] in the way operations have been carried out. The U.S. Military in Iraq will now target insurgents in night time tactical operations using sophisticated air to ground lasers.

Meanwhile [Bush/ Archer Quinn] recieves a crushing oppinion poll by the [All forum members /American public]

5 years on..... and there seems to be talk [Bush/ Archer Quinn] may have to concede defeat ......[impeachment] ? 

After all, there never were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq to begin with. Some say the only reason [Bush's/ Archer Quinn's] was purely to profit ........NO,,,,, that cain't be right

[queue]

Great vid queue!  I laughed out loud at the "big ass magnets...Rod of God" comment.

Question:  What kind of attraction is there between the two screwdriver extensions when joined?
What effort is required to seperate them to cancel the effect?
The required connection/seperation input energy is what would be critical in implenting this.

There's got to be numerous ways to "turn on/off" the switch - the question is which will be most effecient and which might be enough to close the loop?

tx again for the entertaining vid

Between the two screwdrivers not much attraction .. the more surface area touching between the 2 drivers .. the stickier it becomes and the more power it delivers to the ferrite. .

Compared to the power of the wand only a very small amount of force is required to separate the two drivers as only a very small area is touching between them.
The field area and power of the wand are enormous . . probably overkill .. but the ferrites are small and light and i found i needed the huge Mag wand to deliver enough magnetic power to enable the ferrite rings enough to make an appreciable difference to the rotor.
Maybe more experimenting this weekend ..

Cheers and thanks

tx for the reply

So the percentage of the 'wands' magnetism imparted is very small?
What if you used shorter rods than the screwdriver extensions... smaller Mag wand needed?
Or fatter rods?
Or just 1 rod?
Or larger ferrite rings?

I just was re-reading your post about the properties of isotropic ferrite...
(http://www.overunity.com/index.php/topic,4540.msg113523.html#msg113523)
and exactly what type of material you are using.  I'm not sure what your using.

Is it basically ceramic magnet material that hasn't been "energized" to turn it into a magnet?
Or has it been magnetized in all directions (thus 'isotropic')?

edit: and how does the size/shape influence the effect?
I searched the 6 US magnet supplier links I have - no luck on 'isotropic'

Where do you get the stuff?
Any links or more info you can provide that I can educate myself with? (no wikipedia entry  lol)

I found these - but not much else:

Anyone that can provide more info/links and US suppliers would be loads of help as I (and probably others) would like to get some!

TIA

Hi All
Good video queue and it changes nothing about what I said and that was it takes energy to turn the switch on and off.
First the energy to seperate the two pieces of metal and then take them far enough from each other so you don't get attract back before you want it and then energy to put them back together to reset the system, you maybe able to cut the energy needed down but you still need it and because your system doesn't replace energy lost it will at some point stop.
You still have a wall, maybe a weaker one only test will tell that but its still a force needed to keep the system moving.
Take Care All

..you maybe able to cut the energy needed down

The question is - will that reduction in energy needed be enough?  It may be with a proper design and engineering.  For example - the energy needed to pull apart 2 large attracting magnets in close proximity is huge.  The energy required to move the "control rods" to switch the "Archurian gate" on and off could be relatively small. (even tiny?)
All of a sudden - my head is spinning....

Graham - do you have any links/info on isotropic ferrite?

edit: definition of isotropic ferrite

Having magnetic properties that are independent of the magnet orientation. Most magnetic materials are anisotropic as cast or powdered: each crystallite has a preferred direction of magnetic orientation. If the particles are not physically oriented during manufacture of the magnet, this results in a random arrangement of the particles and magnetic domains and produces isotropic magnet properties. Conversely, orienting the material during processing results in an anisotropic magnet.
