SMOT TEST- can someone do this?

@hoptoad,

You've remained with the wrong impression that to prove CoE one needs to build a self-sustaining contraption. That isn't so. Therefore, your desire to see such contraption has nothing to do with what science puts forth as a requirement for a rigorous proof. Also, whatever seems to you extraordinary or non-extraordinary will always remain your own perception. Science doesn't divide claims into such categories and the criteria in science to prove the validity of a claim are uniform throughout.

@Omnibus
O'K, then lets see some ordinary proof. And what would be better than a working model? After all, theory is fine, but pretty useless if it cannot be applied in a practical manner to benefit humanity in a practical way.

This is a misunderstanding of what theory is.

@Omnibus
No it is not a misunderstanding of what theory is. It is my own subjective opinion on the worth of a theory. And each and all of us have there own subjective opinion on virtually any subject.

Children, children..... please! No more talk. Start testing. It should be simple enough to rebuild the experiment in the videos but with a longer pre-smot rail. Would the results not settle this dispute? Numbers can be argued for eternity but a physical test is "fairly" conclusive. If I had the time and the materials to build it I would but I don't so hopefully someone reading this does.

Physical test has already been carried out conclusively and the analysis of that test proves beyond doubt violation of CoE.
