Love that song/vid!

The wheel video is about 10 days old. The electrolysis video is about 3 weeks old. The Dirod video is about 6 months or so old, but I built that device in 1999 or early 2000.

TinselKoala - good stuff as always.

What is your take on the mag-switch idea on this thread?

Thoughts/comments/ideas/science/field interactions etc?

@Exx - per your post re. Bomber awhile back (your occasional bouncer stance on opinions).... Tinsel has more than deserved to make just about any comment he pleases.  I'd have to say he's even a step (and then some) above CLaNZeR - and that's hard to beat from a building aspect.....

Any of you guys live near Tennessee?

Yeah, Birmingham, Alabama, same as Butch LaFonte.

Nope.

I stated my opinion. That he builds as he builds is his deal.

He wants things done his way with his definitions. I'm not questioning his building abililty, I'm questioning his validity to say "No, You should be looking at and talking about MINE."

He wants that, that's cool, but he should get his own thread.

But then he challenges me to do things his way to his specifications?

I didn't attack his build ability, I answered his first "challenge" and then told him to take his own advice if his contribution was not to add up to more than "You're all so stupid for believing in this".

Clanzer and presumably Tinsel's skills are to be admired, but I like doing things my way.

I think most can replicate my experiments a bit easier than trying to build CNC plexi and polycarbonate machined articles.

If you have the tools, groove on! But don't expect everyones resources to mirror that ability.

If it looks pretty, that's fine. What does it do?

What does it prove?

I don't know since his vids are in .wmv format and I'm on my linux laptop that will not let me install plugins to view that without whacking beryl (3d window manager), so I have not viewed them.
An .avi format might have been nice for cross platform compatibility, but not as necessary these days as it once was.

He seemed to address me as one dimensional too, which is his right I suppose, but I don't have to like it or let him get away with it.

Do you like it if I call you stupid, and say my contributions are worth so much more than yours?

I posted a vid that had to do with different MkE array types for a magnetic testing but it was relegated to playing with magnets and not "real" research.

If he's impressed you, that's cool.
But I have yet to see why I should from his conduct so far.

Cap'n, You don't have to like who I am or what I do.
That's O.K.

But I don't allow belittling from someone that can preach pretty calculations or build pretty machines.

I might from someone building a machine that achieves something not possible before (in the way of generating or harnessing previously unknown forms of energy).

If he steps up and hits that acme, I'll walk away (but do a lot of research into what has been accomplished that made it necessary for me to do so), but until then he's no better than anyone else trying to.

I even hold Archer to that at times as can be seen in the thread.

I've said his instructions have been bogus (the fulcrum cocktail napkin sketch).

I quashed the PureP/Pmotion thing and analytically pointed out why I thought he was mistaken.

I give no free rides, I expect none man.

If'n he can CNC, cool. But it's more what the CNC'd thing can do that matters.

I like building toys and trying to make my vids look like a bumbling idiot could replicate them because a bumbling idiot HAS made them.

I don't take myself too seriously until someone that takes themselves WAY too seriously starts calling me wasteful of my time and talent, and then disregards any thing I've put up as proof (of time, talent, or the lack thereof ) because theirs is better.

Their's is better ONLY when it achieves the ultimate goal for doing the experiment in the 1st place.

Exx - I'm guessing you will respond with a long winded reply (taking yourself too seriously again my friend)
to my small comment so I'm constructing this post in notepad for the moment.
I was just pointing out he has contributed/built/posted good stuff on this forum (not neccesarily this THREAD)
that - per your parameters - would give his opinion greater 'weight'
To compare him to (your implied inference) PurePower is like comparing a 2nd grader to a tenured Harvard physics professor!
(well - at least you got the PP part right LOL )
And yes, TK can come across as rude and brash - but that seems to be norm on THIS thread 

I can't believe you posted that last vid in rebuttal to TK.
Did you even watch his before you posted that?
(I see now you haven't)

You should at least have posted THIS:

You should concentrate on improving/tweaking/modifying/examining/studying this.
Have you tried modifying it in the various ways I've mentioned several times?
Would like to see/hear about it...
What else?  Have you kicked it, yelled at, had the dog piss on it? (implying trying crazy things too!)

Checking in on forum.... yep there it is...

But then he challenges me to do things his way to his specifications?

He was just saying you might follow more of a 'scientific process' in your 'science experiments'.
Although he does pull the 'run down tests' out way to often.

Cap'n, You don't have to like who I am or what I do.
That's O.K.

But I do - so way off-base - take a chill pill my friend!

But I don't allow belittling from someone that can preach pretty calculations or build pretty machines.

Unless he's got an Australian accent and thinks Newton is a dumbass! LOL
(and preaches poor no calculations and builds - well - maybe will know in another month or 2 or..)
