Hello folks, it's getting very near, I sure hope he does it, if only to stuff the 'friggin' knockers.
And who the hell wants to argue about some bad spelling at a time like this?!

'and still they watch, and still their wonder grew'

Regards Bren.

Hi Bren
This is passing the time while I'm doing other things and all I wonder about is why people would ever think this would work. I can understand newbies thinking it may work but not people that have been in the OU game for years.
Take Care Bren

GRAHAM have you ever put your gates on a wheel with the exit pointing towards rotation? Maybe a stupid question but if your gates break the wall why not spin a wheel?   Chet

I have been playing with trigates setting them up so they push outwards from the center on one side and push towards the center on the other. It do make the rods move a lot more freely as long as the gates are set up correctly. This is just a quick picture to show what I mean and is not to scale.

Does anyone know where I can buy some really big magnets?

I am almost done building my new gravity wheel: "The Sword of God 2.0"

@ Special K

For the post b4 this, I'd be as bad as you and just making noise (the fun has gone out of it for today.), but see below for an answer to your question from our own beloved Stephan.

...has anyone actually considered if any of this foolishness with the magnets would be better suited for some sort of (electro)magnetic attract/repulse powered quasi-piston sort of operation?

As opposed to an overbalanced wheel. This occurred to me in the car that if one could work out a way to "bounce" a piston-like rod thingee off a repelling magnetic field, but it had the right weight, it would in theory go up and down on its own, so I suppose it would be using gravity.

As such a concept seems stone simple and obvious, I'm gonna guess someone has already tried this...The travel from the repulsion probably wouldn't be far enough to be useful, now that I think about it...but I don't mess with these sort of things so I could be mistaken.

Ah well

Ya, construction, like the huge facilities my company designs in over 50 countries. So Im guessing you are on the building side, not the design side. Its okay, the world needs worker bees too!..

Again, where do you work? I like how you dodge the question first time around...

PS I like how you say "the difference between the real world and Purepower's school world," but then refer to my job as "thats the real world." So do I live in a "real school" world, meaning I am a part of this physical world like everyone else but understand it better than most? I can live with that...

As I said before Pure Power, I am a self employed aircraft engineer, doing everything from design, to manufacture, to repair, to piloting airplanes, and helicopters.  I specialize in building or repairing things that other companies have given up on.  The odds are very good that if you have spent any time around an airport, you have seen some of the products that I have designed, built, and certified.  I understand the real world VERY well thank you.  I take the public's life in my hands every day, and feel very comfortable doing it, because I trust my judgement in the design/manufacture of my product, and apparently so do the government engineers that check my products before allowing me to sell them.
Remember that the next time you are flying in a plane, there are lots of my parts out there
And by the way, if you check the post, I was defending Chet, not myself.
