I'm not judging anyone... I thought you were 

I recently allowed one of my mates be my barber to a years worth of hair growth and two months worth of facial hair for a winery tour I went on with a big group of friends. The result was a Super Mario-esque moustache and the mullet from hell. Much to my surprise I still managed to make some new friends. Archer looks like a high flying CEO in comparison 

He's definitely a dinky-di Aussie so I am compelled trust his character. You only have to look at pics of me and my mates who I trust with my life to know what I mean.

Anyway, no bad blood intended. I was just stirring. There's no chance I'm uploading my photo (unless I make some big scientific breakthrough of course!).

slump in oil prices MIGHT have something to do with the fact that the leader of the largest oil users in the world just annouced that they need to start using their OWN oil (drilling ANWAR, continental shelf etc..) ..  possibly overturning exiting bans/laws against doing just that.

Immediately after he said that, predictions were made that oil prices would drop.. Just as they ALWAYS do when america tries to go oil independent. (see 1980's for prior example)

I'm counting archer out yet.. not at all, but I really struggle to give him credit for a slight slump in the prices. his video's were far from PROVING anything just yet.

Nope, not a gamer.

Wow. I guess I don't get out enough then. Is Dirt Diggler a common variant of the movie character from Boogie Nights that I just wasn't aware of?

I suppose me asking 1's to stop is not right as you say.  sorry for that,  there are many well educated people here, and while some bring more to the table than others, all have the right to be here.
I just hate the repetitive debunking that happens in many threads.  if there is genuine reason for the negative comments, then fine, just not the "nope won't work, it's impossible" mentality.

In all fairness, i think in this thread most of the "debunking" has been backed up with math or observation.

most of us are here for the same reasons, to find free energy.  let's do it, not say it's impossible.

ciao,  Dirt

I honestly think everyone can learn a bit from this saga, regardless of your stance. I certainly have learned a thing or two.

Personally, I don't think you/we can get there by throwing knowledge, experience and best practices under the bus.

You're alright by me, DD

Evg .. in vid 6 he started rotating the wheel CW thru  ~ 90 degrees - each time he took his hand away the magnetic attraction held it steady in place while he moved it on another 45 degrees - when the wheel was around 90 degrees rotated [~ 3 o'cl relative to starting position] it had the most torque it could have & the wheel as a whole then acted as a bottom heavy pendulum & rotated to 6 o'cl where it quickly stopped - it wasn't friction in the normal sense that stopped the wheel but the flux wall imo & insufficient momentum to get it thru the gate any longer - it seems to me that the reason it seemed to you to have some potential was that the wheel was pre-positioned to use the geometric weight imbalance created in the imperfection of the build [difficult to see without a balance demonstration before hand] & use it to maximum theatrical advantage.

We would need to see this wheel accelerate & get stuck at various other positions to have any real credibility or show any hint of poetntial at this stage IMO - better still, to rotate & accelerate thru more than 360 degrees, so no one can say there was a small weight attached on the backside of the wheel out of view of the camera, if you were a non-trusting type

Sorry, forgot my <facetious></facetious> tags on the oil price comment. 

Even if his wheel does work, seriously doubt there would be ANY economic impact for quite a while because of it. 

Even though I am quite skeptical, I have to say, either I am fooling myself or I see it get faster for half a turn until it 'catches'.   What I don't quite get is why does it seem the rods on the left are fully extended until 10 o-clock?  Then you can see them drop into the center, were they not supposed to be pushed to the center down at 7?  If that is the case, then it seems the left arc should continue up until 10 o'clock
