Roll on the 20th June

I've been watching this thread from the very beginning, and a few things occur to me:

     Archer Quinn has a knack for setting peoples' noses out of joint. He skews toward the profane, and tends to ramble. This does not, however, invalidate his theories or ideas. They will rise and fall on their collective merit, and are being presented in the open for all to see. He has invited us all along for the ride, and those who accept this invitation do so of the own volition with full foreknowledge  of the rough road ahead.

   

     There are those here who seem to delight in rampant negativity. They are entitled to their beliefs. They are not, however, entitled to ad-hominum attacks on the beliefs of others. You may disagree, certainly,but please do so in a civil reasoned way. Each side should strive to enlighten, to teach, rather than simply belittle.


     There are those here who accept blindly the words of others, whether they are Archers' words, or those of the latest naysayer. One should be skeptical of all until having performed your own due  dilegence. Make up your own mind based on the facts rather than opinion.




     As for me, I am not yet convinced Archer has all he thinks he has. I am, however, willing to be convinced. I believe in possibilities. It would be the height of arrogance to believe man knows all that is knowable, and all our discoveries are in the past,


    That's my 2 cents worth.

Sorry guys, I'm with Johnny G on this one...

I, too, became interested because I was under the impression he had ALREADY accomplished the impossible.

While I believe flying around by sprinkling pixy dust on your head is impossible, if someone said they had found the magic formula for said pixy dust two years ago and was going to share with all id follow along. But then when they say "I had to destroy the formula to save the airline industry, just send me money and follow along so I can recreate it," I say "bullshit!"

AQ never had, and never will have, the impossible dream of OU.

At best, he will manipulate the conservative forces of magnets to do work. This is not OU as the "fuel" is magnets, due to run out rather quickly as someone previously pointed out simply leaving them in the array weakens them dramatically.

Classic bait and switch. Lure in with a promise of grandure, then load up on harsh, costly reality.

My conclusion:

AQs device is just another dust collector in the warehouse of OU devices that "should/could work if only..." at the cost of $2000+, three months of "magic magic magic... just believe me, fucking blondes.... Magic magic magic... bad "maths"... magic magic magic... give me money or I won't save the world and the blood is on your hands!" and 130+ pages of turning relativly mature, rational people against each other in a classic groupthink, clusterfuck scenario.

Interesting to see that you can be lured so easily to witness something you are so sure is not at all possible. ... So you are rather silly for being here to make such comments in the first place really, aren't you?

Not really. It's like watching a car crash in slow motion. The desperation of people who 'want to believe' in OU or fairies and UFO's or anything is always fascinating, if somewhat disturbing.

PS

Two things Id like to see...

First - People stop chasing the impossible "free energy" and focus on the possible and available "free" energy. Just like particles and matter, energy can neither be created not destroyed. A harsh reality, but the sooner you start to play ball with the world around you the sooner you can win the "energy crisis" game.

There are many "free" energy sources out there waiting to be brought to the end-user level. Wind, solar, geothermal, kinetichydroelectric to name a few. There are many upheavles to be overcome to make these our next energy source.

If this had been 130+ pages dedicated to developing an energy system that ran off the temperature difference between your attic and basement, I'm sure we'd have something by now!

Second - a division of this website dedicated to tapping the "free" energy sources

Fat chance. That would require actual research and work, rather than fantasy.
