A pendulum swings much faster if you stick a magnet under it. Do you have an idea why this would be any different for flywheels?

In a word, magnetic flux gradient.
Okay... That's three words !

A pendulum is not balanced. It is, by its very nature, an unbalanced system.

If you had an unbalanced flywheel it would operate much the same way as a pendulum but then it wouldn't really be a flywheel, would it ?

A pendulum would swing faster in a higher gravity environment and slower in a low gravity environment (that's the results of a quick thought experiment, not something that I can quote as a known fact, however, I think you'll find that it is true, especially if a magnet below a ferrous pendulum makes it swing faster).
The same is not true of a flywheel because of balance.
A pendulum converts PE to KE on the downswing and KE to PE on the upswing.
Again, the same is not true of a flywheel unless it is unbalanced and oscillating like a pendulum.


C'mon Zero !! I'm hanging about to share in your moment of realisation...
I don't want to hear "You were right all along.", I want to hear "I understand."
I just want to know that you can finally see the whole forest instead of just a tree or two.

Hi all,

It?s been a long thread and, by now, it should be obvious that Campbell?s machine is not working. Not the slightest chance.

Are you kidding ?
I even have not yet seen the second video which was removed  and
this weekend?s  measurements of Ash and his team are not in yet...

@ Stefan,
Banning Hum again is not only the greatest insult to his person but it goes beyond that.
You may be empowered to ban him, Stefan, as others may be empowered to take the OU.com domain from you and shut the whole thing down. Abusive? Yes, exactly my point.

You are comparing apples with oranges.
You probably did not see the posting, where Humbugger made fun of Gaby de Wilde (it is now deleted)
and even posted Gaby?s  real picture without permission into the thread and putting it
beneath some drunken guys pics and making fun of Gaby.

I can not accept these kind of users over here  harrassing this way other users and he
already had a prior warning with his abusive postings.

G'day Stefan,

I did not see the post you are referring to. Knowing this now I agree with you, this kind of behaviour is out of order. You were right in banning him from posting.

Admittedly, I too jumped to the conclusion that it was Hum who was being harassed because I didn't see that post either. I apologise to you, Stefan.
However, I'd suggest that there is a lesson to be learned for you.
Allowing snide, underhanded comments from people like Ash, yet cleaning up posts from people like Hum doesn't help your case and makes you appear very biased. I know it's real hard to maintain that fine balance and it's easy to mess up... Just look at the flack that you take when you do.
An internet forum is almost an historic account. When you remove posts and someone comes along later and reads that account, they get a distorted view of the events and jump to the wrong conclusions. That's exactly what I did. I jumped to the wrong conclusions.
