As per your request, I will not discuses energy (though its crucial for an energy system!).

From what I understand, the curve remains stationary and takes the place of the magnets in Archer's design. In a perfect world, this would run exactly the same as Archer's device and you would have perpetual motion once it is set in motion. However, once we introduce friction, this would be your motion killer. And in your case, we would actually have have more friction than Archer's because of the wheels.

Okay, I lied, there is just one little bit I must say about the energy, but I wont get technical so just hear me out. In both examples, we are using energy to push the rod end into 'something' (you use a curve, Archie uses magnets) to lift the rod and restore its energy. The energy used to push is the same energy we get in lift. (See that wasnt so bad!)

No problem with the engineering advice! Now here's a little legal as well...

In the United States, we have a little thing called ex post facto. In short, you cant be convicted for breaking a law you commit before the law was passed. From what I understand, your city/county/state hasnt passed the anti-bully laws. If this is the case, you dont have to worry about what you have said in the past. I dont know if we have federal laws yet though, might want to look into that...

Just to cover you ass, I would print out everything you said, especially your apology page. Make sure everything is dated, signed by yourself and a witness. Have two signed copies. Take one, put it in a safe. Take the other,  mail it to a family member. That way, you will have your copy, plus a back up copy with a postal date stamped. Make sure your relative does not open the letter, that would void the postal time stamp.

Best of luck!

Thanks PurePower.  You have no idea how much it means to me to hear your kind words of support.  I just found out today that I am probably going to be going to prison for being a CyberBully.  My extensive harassment of Archer Quinn is going to backfire on me and I will be hauled off to jail sometime in the next week or so.

The good news is that this solves my immediate power problem as once I am in prison all of that will be taken care of for me.

I will miss everyone on this forum, I hear I will not be getting Internet access in the state penitentiary.

There is one piece of good news though!  With Archer's lever I'm pretty sure I can create a catapult to launch myself over the prison walls; so one good thing did come out of all of this.

For the rest of you, watch your backs, those CyberBully laws are coming after you too....

You wont go to jail for cyber-bullying Archer.  He lives in Australia, and therefore does NOT maintain the rights of American citizens.  He has no protection from cyber-bullying under these laws, once they go into effect.

Since the internet is not a location-restrictive domain, The "attacked" person would have to LIVE in the state that was prosecuting you. If they dont live in that state,. then the crime is outside of that states Jurisdiction.
Only the government could prosecute you, and (in most cases) there would have to be verifyable punitive damages as a result of your bullying.
