Roll on the 20th June

Since you came back from vacation, there has been little or no direction or focus. If this is your approach to passing off the baton, the members here are ready to handle this together and take charge. If you still plan on remaining the mentor, just let us know and we'll wait patiently.

Archer said a few posts ago that he was in the process of seeking employment. I assume that this has caused some delays in building his wheel.

[Absolute Power]

I have said this many times but i will briefly explian.

The original wheel was rod drive only.

1) the lower left arc of magnets on the outside (repelling) was powered by an electromagnet.

2) the upper arc was permanent magnets only

3) the axel centre was from and old fan

4)the rear of the axel was direct drive to an 18volt scooter motor

5) the wires from the scooter motor went straight to the electromagnet via a switch.

yes i did operate the switch by hand. However, as there was already power from turning it originally i could keep it running by flicking the switch at every arm pass to fire the rods. There is no outside power from a manual switch not accouted for, as mica swithes which i did not have or simple reed switchs that could have been on the arms would have sufficed without any undue friction as you can bacisally blow on them and they switch, the machine was spinning way too fast for this to be an issue.

What most of the skeptics forget is that an elctromagnet uses no more powwer than a permanent magnet can provide for the same job. all types of lift are broken down eventually into kilowatts of energy used, and that is the reason most gravity machines do not work, simply changing from pullys to springs does not change the lift abilty or outcome because all lift is equal in kilowatts. (leverage exluded)The variance is that we are in a sense cheating. As magnets have their own stored energy, so we have a gain that a straight gravity wheel does not have. the elctromagnet simply replaces that.

why did I not go back down that path? I bought the electromagnets in a box at a garage sale, like i buy many of the things i own. I had no concept of what they would eventually be used for.

They were shaped like a mini I beam, and i bent them slighly to creat an arc (not matching to the wheel circle as i did not want to break the wires)

I do not have the ability to build electro magnets, i have not studied this, and from my understanding, study would be pointless, one example of this is that one extra wire turn could be the difference, so how do you know if it is wire or proximately to the wheel or magnets on the arms or friction from the slide.

all the others you can quickly adjust and try all the combinations, you could alter the magnet and it may not be the problem. Like many of the items i have used this time, I had them or bought thm and they just worked.  I could have purchased any type of magnets for the array that would not have produced the mayernik effect, but i just did. Luck a feeling intuition i don't know i just always seem to pick the right materials.

Most would not believe it, but the wheel you see now are table coasters and place mats glued together so i would have a perfect circle, the fan on the back was on the side of the road with hard rubbish. in fact it was on the ground out in the weather for 6 months, but for some reason never threw it out.

someone even commented on it as it was in a photo when i was first building the wheel. It is 110 volts, no good to me for anything, but i picked it up and kept it all this time.

I bought the large ball bearings you see on the rollers for large trigates before the track was discovered. when you see the aluminuim wheels on the roller they wre scrap from a place i worked at, no idea what i would use the for but i kept them.

Everything happens for a reason is what most people would say. as to why i have the right stuff for the first wheel is no stranger than how i ended up with some of the right stuff for the second

I won't be answering further questions on that subject.

Would i have built it if i knew how to make electromagnets and what was the right power level required? sure. it only uses power during the pulse, the rest of the time the energy is unused.

It ran a small car radio, strange thing was it did not cut out during the pulse, thre was static and you could not hear the words when switching, but there was static so there was still power between pulses

I am glad to see that Archer has given some details about his first device that he destroyed two years ago. He said that he had to manually turn a switch on and off for it to spin and to generate power. Maybe I am missing something but it does not sound like he ever had a functioning (closed loop) perpetual motion machine as I once thought he did.

Archer, if your original device required you to turn an electromagnet on an off by hand, and if replacing your hand with a mechanism is as you implied (is just a trivial matter) why not rebuild it and show us how to replicate it? This "toy" would be a major breakthrough and will most certainly lead to funding for your other (larger scale) designs.

It just don't get any better than this! ( I said this 3 times in the previous revision of the post. That's how rocked in my socks I was!)

Coffee came through my nose cause of the "content"!

@ g4mac

I wouldn't let the latest appraisals of your content get you down, search up some history (even within this page. Or, since I took so long posting this, the previous page.) and I think you'll guffaw with wondrous incredulity of it too.

I think it'll put a smile on your face.



@ Archer

Ain't it fine to have such an upstanding, impartial, independently replicating mind of accepted present scientific theory and practices to give you such guidance?

Even better, he's asking you for a cookie cutter recipe!

It just don't get no better than this.

I never commented on what others have contributed, that was fabricated by PP. (look it up if you're interested)

Why doesn't PP start a new thread where he and others criticize AQ's credibility and let's see how successful it becomes. If he wants to contribute here he should stop demanding things from others and serve himself for a change.

He can't. When you're 21 and have a big mouth and a bigger ego, you won't know where to stop!
