Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

Yada - Make sure it sounds correct? that makes sense, I guess.

I just look forward to the day when I see another YouTube video from Al or one of the replicators. And independent corroboration from a reputable source.

Something like this, maybe:

I checked, Markus Zahn is real too:

yadaraf, i was going to post how silly it is to make any significance out of rpm when minutes are so arbitrary. its a fraction of a fraction of how long the earth takes to rotate. to say how silly it was i was going to post what fraction of the earths rotation a minute is. but then, oops. 1 earth rotation = 1440 minutes.

theres that darn number again

baobab68 ,

Here's an excellent video by CLaNZeR.  It illustrates the problem with bearing noise.  Note what he says about the rotor.

Poke around his site.  He's got a lot of excellent stuff.


Thanks for the link to the Perepiteia.  You might check the Steorn forum as well.

evil-doer,

Nice one.  That number [144] occurs so often its frightening.  It's probably got a connection to Kevin Bacon.

@Yadaraf,

OK, now since we're into fortuitous coincidences, I hope you didn't forget that the diameter of the rotor is 144mm. This, of course, means nothing but is fun to mention in the context of the conversation.
