But of course.  That's why I say "close to" - and why I encourage people to focus attention on COP >3 - and not shoot for an impossible COP infinity.

Heat & eddy currents and friction are not to be feared, if we can input 1KW and get 3 kW out.  Impossible you say?  Buy a heatpump.  But we don't expect a heatpump to deliver 3KW with zero input - or even 3 watts or 3 microwatts.

Stay focused.  Anything else is a diversion,

damn it man, you just jumped on the first technical post that ledgendre ever provided

nice to have you here Greendoor, I found your post on oil very interesting.  I have a friend that actually has a small well on his property, been there pumping a small amount for 2 generations.  he has had a huge smile on his face the last couple of years,  not the brightest guy though, so he probably signed a 20 year contract at the prices of 5 years ago.   I hope he doesn't know those details or I won't be able to talk to him anymore.

ciao,  Dirt

Only part of Archer's website, uploaded in the last few minutes............
It's Over, too many parts I need to reassemble, and don't have the money or the energy to do this anymore, for a majority who don't care anyway. My mistake was to build the wheel in the first place, 4 years from now you won't be able to get parts anyway, only the fulcrum will be of any use, i should have simply finished one of them.
Thanks Archer for trying. Wish you well.

AHH the thought for the day http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6531588179303444480 the SMOT where is the BUS [OMNI]   chet
OMNIBUS why havent you punched in yet?

Hey Chet.

Cool little vid you posted. Its demonstrates what is called the "v - gate." Heres a vid of the same principal, but with the gate on the wheel:

Im wondering if the stator magnet actuation can be mechanized with the rotation of the wheel, similar to Exx's actuation of the stators of archer's wheel a few pages back.

This is an idea Ive had for a few months now, but never had the time to try it out. Speculatively speaking, I think the energy needed for actuation would be the same as the energy generated from the rotating wheel, hence no OU. Again, its speculation, itd be interesting to see though. Anyone have the ability/time to try?

ARCHER get some sleep   it aint over till the fat lady sings Bud   and she's lost on the subway  A lot of folks see this can work  GET R DONE  Chet

Well, Its all over now,  Here it is in Archers own words.   "It's Over, too many parts I need to reassemble, and don't have the money or the energy to do this anymore, for a majority who don't care anyway.

What can you say the wind has left the sails of the Archer journey.     Oh well,  Strange enough I thought I remembered him saying he would sell his car and quit his job if thats what it took to make it happen?   

TUFF TITTY said THE Kitty !       
                                                                                    Have a good day all and hold on to your dreams, Desode

Coefficient of performance is not equivalent to efficiency; stop conflating the terms.

Heat pumps are not "Free Energy" machines.
