Roll on the 20th June

It's 12:01 central standard time in America.  Can  anyone direct me to a video of the Sword of God powering a generator and external load?

Archer Quinn has woken from his slumber and posted yet another message on his site indicating that he has quit, yet once again.  In typical Archurian arrogance his tone implies that he actually 'gave us' something during this entire episode.  Rather than admitting he failed utterly to accomplish his goal, he sits in denial and blames the rest of the world rather than taking responsibility for his own actions.

To be frank, at this point, I wonder if, perhaps, we are not all taking advantage of someone who suffers from a serious mental illness.  I hope he is able to take a deep breath, recuperate his resources, settle down, and go back to building his machine.  Let us acknowledge that the major entertainment value of this site is with those who build actual physical devices.

Maybe Archer will pick up and start building again, or maybe he will keep blaming the rest of the world for his own personal failures.

Is this the end of this story?  Only time will tell...  I would gladly lend Archer a bottle of seratonin reuptake inhibitors if that would help get him centered and back on the road to recovery.

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. 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."

I copied the above from Archers site Saturday 21st June 4:15pm Sydney time

Another unworkable idea?

Trying to peddle a silly idea to achieve something (See image)

I started some experiments a while ago with a large balloon and a flexible see-through tube.
Try this for yourself if you have this stuff laying around.
Get a bladder or a large ($ 2 -3) party balloon. Blow-up the balloon several times to get its elasticity reduced.
Fill the balloon up with water and attach a tube/pipe to its spout (not easy to make leak-proof).
Now lay the balloon filled with water on the floor, with the tube/pipe standing up vertically.
Place a large book on top of the balloon and you will notice the water going up in the tube. Place several books on top of the balloon and the balloon empties through the tube (the tube will be filled to the top).
Depending on diameter and length/height of tube the amount of books/weight needs to be adjusted to achieve this result.

The second part is the top bladder balloon.
The setup is the same, but with a slight difference. The balloon gets glued to a square piece of wood/steel, both sides with enough space to get a straight bellow effect (see water mattress).
With the tube attached, hold the top square glued piece of wood/steel on top and hang the end of the tube in a bucket of water.
The bottom part of the wood/steel glued plate should try to fall and create a vacuum (if heavy enough). This will suck up water through the tube and into the balloon.

Now attach/screw the balloons onto the inside of a wide wheel (2 wheels, one either side).
Fill one balloon only with water and flatten the other, Join the tubes together (or use one tube between both balloons)

Their will be many variations on tube size, both length and diameter of tube will determine the speed of transfer of water flow to the top balloon (water weight/volume of water in tube).
Weight glued to the balloon will also determine the speed of transfer and indeed if the system works.

The good part is as the volume of water weight (filled balloon) only makes slight changes to the distance between the axle and outer rim and can be reduces by changing the depth of the bladder by making the bladder longer in length and width and less in depth, you have the ability to design a personalized system.
It makes sense to me. Hope it does to You.

So easy to build a dumb #@(*&^ blonde can understand it?

Who's the dumb blonde now?

And who's surprised?  Really??

Nice of AQ to post the videos the last 2 weeks - much better way to convey his concept than the first 2 months...  Credit to him for that.....

Too bad it won't do more than 1/8 of a revolution   

Guess Newton is safe for now 

So AQ:
I guess satellites really DON'T stay in orbit forever without rockets
And Lenz law has NOTHING to do with OHMS
And you didn't really have an OU device 2 years ago
And a 900 kg wheel with a 100 kg man won't give 1000 kg of "energy"
And Newton isn't such a dumb-ass after all..
etc... etc...

And even with all the curses and venom you spewed at me and others for our "fucking moron oilman" science, I still say thanks for sharing.... 
(allthough I DID expect a bigger climax than you throwing in the towel after partially building a ___  and a ____ )
