Testing the TK Tar Baby

[mrsean2k]

Sadly, and no doubt coincidentally, @gmeast has replied to one of my posts after I have been blocked. I am therefore unable to relay to him exactly where he stated that he observer "only" an 0.8v drop in the course of his run.

ETA: for your convenience, Greg, the last paragraph of reply #92 on the "basic circuit" thread, where you state:

"It's important to note that the battery voltage has not dropped more than 0.8V in more than 30 hours of testing"

It is INDEED important. Just not the way you seem to think it is.

Didn't you know, Sean, that the E-SP forum is only open to people who are willing to pat each other on the back?

Example (paraphrased):
Chessnyt: Look, I made a video! See behind me this thing I made?
Rosemary: Oh, Chess! That's absolutely brilliant! Good job! Way to go! I especially liked your SmartScarecrow interview! It was AMAZING!
Chessnyt: Thanks! I didn't even really say anything, but I appreciate your compliments!
Rosemary: Hey, gmeast! Wow, look! you're working on something! It's Amazing! Good Job!
gmeast: It's not really your circuit, but it seems to give me similar measurements.
Chessnyt: That's great gmeast! Welcome to our pat-on-the-back forum!
Poynt99: Umm... you may want to consider the possibility that your measurements, because of the way they're taken, are showing results that aren't exactly true.
Rosemary: What do you mean, Poynt99?
Poynt99: Well, it's like this: All apples are apples. Some are green; some are red... but they're all apples. Oranges are oranges. Some are orange; some are red... but they're all oranges.
Rosemary: Ah, so what you've said is if it's a red orange, it's actually an apple.
Poynt99: No, that's not what I said.
Rosemary: Well, let's just forget about that for now. Take a look at gmeast's stuff, will you?
Poynt99: I have, I think he may be wrong about some things.
Rosemary: Just how the Hell would you know?
Poynt99: I don't have time for this.
mrsean2k: (deleted, because it wasn't in the form of a compliment)
Rosemary: Sugar, spice, everything nice! If only the world believed in orange/apples... then they'd be true!
mrsean2k: Um... did I say something wrong? I just meant that making an error like this is understandable, and that it shouldn't reflect on one's reputation.
gmeast: It wasn't--I didn't--somebody help me out here. Why are you being so mean to me?
mrsean2k: I'm just pointing out some facts, as I see them.
Poynt99:I agree with mrsean2k's facts.
Rosemary: There's no room for  "facts" on our forum unless they're of a complimentary nature.
gmeast: B-b-but I-
Rosemary: There, there, gmeast. I've made the bad man go away. You're doing wonderfully! Well done! Good job!
Rosemary: Poynt99, I know I asked you to look at gmeast's stuff... but what I meant to say was to actually leave him alone.

etc. etc. etc.

I sort if expected RA to act that way fairly quickly - when I went to the author of the Wikipedia entry she was relying on and asked him to confirm first hand that her interpretation was incorrect, she characterized it as an attack - but I was surprised at @gmeast who Ive assumed was working in good faith.

It doesn't help that she was deleting my posts and then misrepresenting what I'd said.

I genuinely believe there's absolutely no face lost in conceding an error such as this. But his reaction is questionable.

It's laughable, or would be if it weren't so boring.

The parrot in question still does not understand even the most basic facts about her circuit, reading schematics, the factors that determine impedance, the behaviour of mosfets, or what current is, what voltage is, what AC and DC mean. She still does not even acknowledge that a mosfet has a linear response operation region, nor does she understand the effects of inductance or capacitance on her circuit's measured voltages. Why...it it even seems as if she has not watched or understood any of the simple teaching demonstrations that I have made, explaining and illustrating some of these simple things in a manner that a bright ten year old child.... whose cup did not run over.... could understand.

I guess .99 is the only one who can see all the schematics and other images that are being presented over there. I am just going by the verbal descriptions of gmeast's apparatus and equipment. May we be shown HERE the actual schematic that he is using, and a scopeshot or two from his 12 MHz scope?

We get doggerel and spam here from the sock puppet Youknowwho,  but information is carefully omitted. Perhaps .99, as the only "agent" other than Youknowwho allowed to read and post in both places, will provide us with an image or two.

It would be nice, but as soon as he did, I imagine their TOS would be changed to include "posting the images elsewhere" as a criminal actionable offense.
