I was going through Prof. Laithwaite's controversial fourth Christmas lecture:-

.....  when I came across the following section about 50 minutes in.


I didn't appreciate it the first time I watched it many years ago but I
certainly do now. He had implicitly discovered 3rd derivative energy.

Later in that video he shows what are effectively a series of pendulum, or what would be a series of pendulums
if the had been free to rotate independently at the axle and not rigidly connected. This might have led him to
recognise the change of angular momentum, i.e. the third derivative of position with respect to time, precession
kinetic energy.

IF YOU ALL ARE NOT BOTS, YOU'RE DOING AN AWFULLY GOOD JOB AT PRETENDING.

YOU SOUND LIKE ALL THE SAD AND CONFUSED VOICES I SEE ON THIS FORUM.

Sooo, does this gravity power plant work or not? If not (most probably not), It's interesting that this thread consists of 160 pages, and 2698 replies...

Hopefully, within a year or two we might see. We've never had photos before so that's a good sign.
