Is there really such thing as "free" energy? Do we deserve it? Look at the damage we have done so far with limited, expensive energy. If everyone on our planet had access to unlimited "free" energy how long would Earth last?

I think if there is a coverup conspiracy, this is the most likely motive, not pure evil.

On the other-hand, Is Earth here to serve us, or we, it?

Is this off topic?

Electricity, running water, and fuel for transportation (in most mid-sized cities) have become a basic human need and the cost for which is taking food out of some lower income families mouths and basic luxuries from a lot of middle classed families. So, if keeping the people down is the plan.. Then hide FE and OU from the masses..

Good Morning all.

Well my head is hurting this morn, got a little carried away last night, but sometimes thats when new ideas come to me. Brain is too sore, so only simple things pop up.

Anyways, here is the new idea for the "Dirt Devil".

Rather than trying to break out of the gate at the end to roll off onto the ramp, what if the ramp is positioned below the array, and the roller trips the Archer Key, either electric or mechanical, and the roller simply drops off the array onto the ramp.

This way there is no extra energy required to break out the end, just a small tap at the proper moment and the roller drops straight down, rolls down the ramp, and around we go.

Let me know what you think.

Ciao,  Dirt

Gots to be careful w/ those ethanol vacations.
Sometimes the cost is much more than you thought the next day.

Working on it (in my normal lackadaisical fashion) and progress as of last night (no, the big sugar rush was not enough to keep me plugging away until experiment realization) is chronicled here (long, boring, contains off color jokes):

I'm trying the proximity ramp 1st (less moving parts), and if that doesn't work I'll go out and find me some ferros to experiment with to do the mag switch.

There's lotsa stuff to play with here.
Arrays on inside or outside, array/roller strength, etc.

TOYS!!!!!

EDIT

I'm just smooshing as I always do in my backwards azz cracker paradigm. Taking my own sweet time, doing it in my own dismally retarded way, and essentially playing.
I'm like a "new band". I'll be happy to take and try requests, but you have to sit through some originals before they get played sometimes.

P.S. If this turns into something I want some credit here as I invested the time in R & D.

LOL... Nice Vid..  Can we say dremel.. Or sandind attachment for drill.. You got hella patients dear sir.. Thanks for sharing.. Can't wait to see more.

Edit 1 -- I think box cutters would of been faster even if you had to cut it two times in a V shape.. 

Edit 2 -- Duck Tape for the fix? Or a new piece of plastic?
