Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

Alan, What is it you told me once ? If I wish to be credible, I should follow your lead.
And the next thing you did was explain to someone why their idea would not work.
It is like Alexioco posted, people used to post their idea's in here and discuss them. It could be your negative attitude towards discussions isn't something people new to the forum find appealing.
Maybe it is because in armoring, it has not changed in hundreds of years, that considering new thoughts is to much of a challenge ?

Jim
Have you ever considered it could be your mouth!!! ?

  @All,
With a progressive build, what eevr I would have built next would have been to try new techniques so I could have an idea of how I might build differently. But it really isn't worth listening to an Alan. I don't think he has ever been exposed to engineering where the builds start simple and increase in complexity.
With trying an advanced design with 4 weights would have been more about the engineering in the construction of the wheel. As I've seen on youtube, i am one of the very few people who build decent size wooden wheels.
So there really isn't anyone I can turn to to ask for help. This means building is the only way i can learn. And trying things along the way while I develop my proficiency seems to make more sense than building something that I am not sure how I would do it.
But I guess I am wrong.

You need a tissue? 

The string was starting to get back on track until your started you poor jim act and start attacking me.

Xx00013  Why can't I be attacked by one of those?

  Nah Alan, you always go off topic. It's your real engineering experience. It doesn't allow anyone else to know anything.
I mean really, your not my dad yet you claim you had your son trying to straighten me out because I wasn't doing what you told me to do. I know who my father is. he's a Norwegian immigrant that you don't like.
How do I know ? he's done more than you ever will and yet you say your engineering is the real thing. Talk about having no respect. I've worked with him and can gaurantee you your aromring would be to easy for him. He's used to doing more difficult metal working which was sometimes done by hand.
So if you ever get it Alan, i don't consider your ecxperience to be worth shit. You can't even man up and admit to having served in the USCG. Why ?
You remind me of a little kid who says I'll have my big brother (Ralph) beat you up.
The fact is Alan, you took it off topic because your one and done build by randomly placing weights negates the need to do a stress analisys which real engineering requires.
After all, when I build something, i don't need your approval. That is what I call arrogant. Assuming why i'm building soemthing without asking me what build plan I am working to.
This shows you really don't know much.
Of course, that's why I'm not building any more.  you're an expert yet refuse to do an open build. Talk about backwards.

Jim

IMO you are one mentally sick person.

You said >> I know who my father is. he's a Norwegian immigrant that you don't like.<<

Another lie! I said nothing of the sort. For I am no a raciest, like you seem to be, and I  take offense when someone tries to say so. But I did say you should listen to your father.

you said to me >>you're an expert yet refuse to do an open build.<<

Your statement just proves I am not a ranting fool. I asked you very nicely to keep this on wheel work and you went to complete slander and lies about me. So if this is all you are about? leave me alone!!!.

By the way!!.
It has been checked by modern engineers and machinist that it would take equipment pricing well into the millions to achieve the work I do by hand. But once set up it could do it faster. But for each change it would cost several thousands more to adjust to all the different sizes as well and then what about the real custom stuff.  No Jim your father nor you, can not do what I do unless he or you was willing to spend millions of dollars and then he or you, would be lost on the custom unless he, I wouldn't allow you, to apprenticed with me for at least 4 years with his prior experience. What I do is a very specialized work, and is a true art.

Alan
