Ricks Pipe Dream

A hint to nyctuber : "90 degrees".

Better support a doer like Rick, and kindly ask him to enlighten you rather than dismissing a setup once the M word has been used. You are not helping the cause of this website. You are turning science into interpersonal conflict, be it intensionally or not.

Rick is doing something different alright. Your problem seems to be with his selfassuredness of the result, which is near. I'm seeing what rick is doing, and wonder how it could possibly fail. Perhaps you could enlighten me?
Let's throw this back on topic, and be friendly to those who are smarter or more pro-active than us?

By '90 degrees' i suppose you think Rick will manage to get that ever elusive power spike from a simple wheel rimmed with magnets. If you are wondering how it could possibly fail, I suggest you watch his videos and find out.

There is no interpersonal conflict, I have not said one unkind word about Rick. I did wonder about his mental state, thinking a simple magnet wheel will work. That's called critical analysis based on watching someone do somewhing which cannot work but thinking it will.

Try to stay objective and to not get emotionally attached to the inventor it's the only way to fly.

Cloxxki said that Rick is doing "something different".

How different? What's unusual or different about using a moving, externally powered, stator to pump up the wheel? I can show you at least a dozen YT vids from a dozen different workers doing the same thing, with different geometry.

And they are all doing exactly what I show here: the autokinetic magnet motor effect.

Secure that stator to a post, or hook it up to your wheel-driven linkage, and the wheel will grind to a quick stop.
There is nothing whatsoever new or different in what Rick is showing, except perhaps the PVC frame.

What has Rick's project got to do with Science? Science is a process, one feature of which is the attempt to DISCONFIRM an hypothesis by using correctly designed control experiments. Only when the researcher FAILS TO DISPROVE his hypothesis (that the magnet stators are helping rather than hurting, for example) is he in a position to state a positive finding.

This procedure (the Scientific Method) is not being followed in Rick's research program.

So what's the matter now? Is Rickoff doing it "too properly" for some peoples' tastes? He's making a mockery of your mockeries eh, lol? His very existence threatens yours somehow?

Because attempting to backhandedly demean and deride someone simply for producing a well conceived and carried out project, is disgusting and very suspicious behavior that would get you banned in most other forums.

"He's showing everyone how to do it RIGHT! OMG he must pay for that!"

WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE to think you can just dis someone for the hell of it?

...AND WHAT ARE YOUR MOTIVES FOR DOING SO?

You want someone to attack just for the hell of it?

I'm your Huckleberry.

Just don't bring a knife to a gun fight, and remember to wear a raincoat before attempting to piss up a rope.

"Are you feeling lucky, punk?"

".... Want a shot at the Title?" 

So you guys had better watch out, lol... I've got more cliches lined up and i'm not afraid to use them!!

We can turn this forum the rest of the way into something that resembles a teen gaming forum with the adult moderators on vacation....

Or we can move ahead and get things done; and insist that people treat others with the respect their work has clearly shown they deserve.

"Yeah, i'm talkin' to you... Are you talkin' to me?"

Hehehe couldn't resist that one

Here's a news flash for all the Professional Bozos out there: No one is going to be intimidated by you losers into not replicating, posting, or coming forward with projects. Your attempts are frankly pathetic; and the harder you try, the more obvious and absurd it all looks. Your "Happy Time" here is over.  So why don't you just go back to the political forums and try to convince others that international bankers are really nice guys when you get to know them, lol. 

But we expect you'll stick around and try anyway.

Bounty Hunter to Clint: "A man's gotta make a livin' somehow these days..."

Clint: "Diein' ain't much of a livin', boy." 

Of course Clint then shot the guy... And no actual bullets will be used here. But there are several types of "death" to worry about, eh? Like getting fired from your sh*tty shilling job for "gross incompetence" hehehe.
