Roll on the 20th June

[TinselKoala]

Well, it seems that there is still no self-running wheel from Archer Quinn.
And it is already the 25th of July.
And the 20th of September is getting that much closer.
What am I to do? My One Thousand American Dollars are just sitting here, waiting for Archer's demonstration of his functioning wheel, to a scientist of his own choosing and a representative from the Melbourne Skeptics.

Should be a piece af cake, Archer. Just rebuild the original wheel, the one that "ran roughly" and "stopped working" when you needed to straighten the axle. I don't need to see anything fancy, just a self-running wheel. It doesn't even need to have a generator or a water pump attached--it just has to run of itself.

Archer? Are you listening?

I'll even extend the offer to ANYONE who thinks they can make such a wheel. That's one thousand american dollars to the exhibitor of a functioning gravity or magnet wheel that runs of itself, demonstrated to the appropriate evaluators, by the 20th of September 2008.

Anyone?

Not interested that is only like 800 Canadian 
Archer is on vacation I believe

I'm a coder by trade and, a little chest puff here, I know how to write in upwards of fifteen languages... I can also pick up new languages and see comparable functions, structure and syntax which allows me to learn new languages very quickly. 

When I write an algorithm I know the variable(s) passed in, what work is done and what variable(s) are returned. When I look at my scenario I don't know what goes in, what happens and what comes out as a result and I'm trying to improve my knowledge...  I understand a lot of what comes out like heat, deformation, sound and how these propagate in various media but I don't know everything by a long way and as it is generally accepted that the energy in is always equal to the energy out then it must be possible for me to get the information I want.
.

The calculations and predictive formulae for energy interactions are very very difficult even in what appear to be simple examples. Perhaps an example in the area in which you are familiar may assist.

Obviously you are adept at coding algorithms to achieve a desired outcome.
However you do not have complete control. You rely on the base functionality of whatever compiler, OS and lots of other protocol layers you happen to be using. Although these should be rock solid and predictable they can introduce unwanted and strange intermittent behaviour. A minor memory leak may take weeks to rear its ugly head! You know all this and it's one of the reasons you include exception handling in your code.

To relate this back to energy, you should accept that the energy in exactly equals energy out and create algorithms to predict the major energy transfers and make allowances for the minor, chaotic transfers.

Dude, your offer of 100 dollars is way too small to attract any attention.  There are 2 guys on here who pledged 100,000 dollars each.  Take your chump change and buy some beer or something, no one cares.

Wrong again.

1,000.00 USD = 1,019.68 CAD
United States Dollars         Canada Dollars
1 USD = 1.01968 CAD         1 CAD = 0.980699 USD

And my One Thousand Dollars is real, and I've posted a picture of it. Where's the picture of the 100,000 dollars?

Who cares? Yeah, right.
Show me a working wheel, because I've shown you my money. Or else, STFU.
