WHERE IS BATMAN

@ Spinner,

No I'm not looking for a fight at all.
My problem with your explaination is that while I totally agree that the beam is only slightly heavier on the short side, it is none the less heavier.  Now when he adds 5.3 MORE KG's on the short side, so now we have 5.3 +whatever the slight imbalance is, lets call it 1KG, we end up with around 6.3KG, being lifted on a 5:1 fulcrum, with 1KG on the other end.
please explain.
I'm looking for answers, but not getting any that would seem to cover this.

ciao, Dirt

You see, here's the misunderstanding. Where did you see that Archer's "20kg" weight is additionally equipped with 5,3 kg weight? In one picture only? Have you seen it while the fulcrum is in "operation"?

Why Archer never performed a simple task of balancing the "fulcrum" before claiming  a 1:20kg lifting?
Why he didn't perform a test (proposed by (Rusty?)), where additional 1 and 20 kg weights would be added to the original ones?
Maybe because of the fact that the "test" would show a fallacy?

Look, Dirt Diggler, we are not talking about Archer's or Newtonians or whichever physics...
This is a fact of Nature. A lever. So?

WHERE IS BATMAN

Hmm.. BatMan is in the BatCave, reading a BatPhysics books?
Nah, I think he makes love with the BatGirl...

Ok, I'm curious... Batman, what kind of device we saw in your picture? Is it a special kind of dynamo? 500lbs of magnets? Seriously?
Or is it a PM motor?
Thanks for the response...

Ummmmm, spinner,
if you watch Archers video #2 of his third set, around the 1:30 point, you will clearly see 1Kg lift 5.3KG, plus the heavy end of the lever. which is likely at least another KG, if not more.
he then removes the extra 5.3 KG and shows that the lever is still heavy on the short end.
any insight you have into this would be greatly appreciated.
