I'm kinda new to all this magnetic stuff, so please forgive my ignorance.  With respect to "the wall" has anyone considered modifying the magnetic field with iron ? (see pic) or with respect to AQ's fancy extra opposing pole magnet at the end, has anyone considered putting it on a fulcrum so it moves with flow so to speak ?

We aren't shifting the rod very far. So while the rod may shift 'slowly'. I think that the 'slow' movement can be compensated for by timing the release of the rod (per my initial comment asking for ideas on how to catch and release the rod).

G=MV2: Gravity = Mass times Velocity squared - Dr. Lloyd Zirbes

http://www.fdp.nu/zirbes/zirbes.asp

I almost vomited in my mouth when I read this (it also could have been that breakfat burrito). So if I were to believe his statement, then I would be experiencing zero gravity as I sit here at my desk? My velocity is zero, so v² is zero, so my gravitational experience is zero. Sorry, but no.

Check the units: m*V² == kg*(m/s)². Why does this seem so familiar? Oh ya, because its also equal to 1 Joule, the SI unit for energy! He was close to rediscovering something we already know, the conversion from potential energy to kinetic energy to potential energy:

m*g*h = .5*m*V²

He was close, but just not quite there. I've seen the recreations of the exeriments and the derivations of equations that led to our current understanding of gravity. They are very simple, completly logical (even to the lay person), and completly accurate (until we get to the subatomic level, that's where quantum comes into play). I want to see his data and analysis before I accept yet another claim of Newtons world being turned upside down, especially when his claim is so similar to something we already know and love...

@HvL

Very noble comments about AQ. But I am not as forgiving nor do I see him the same as others. You have been in the FE biz longer than I have been alive, so I will try to respect your seniority.

True, Archer has no concept of math or physics, this becoming increasingly apparent with the last couple posts on his site (I was going to break it down, but anyone with a lil common sense would know its complete $hit and Id be wasting webspace). I do admire his devotion and invested interest to his own ideas, something I can relate to.

What I cannot accept is presentation. Sure, some have "cried wolf" before and failed to reproduce. However, none of them dangled empty promises on a string before the world, completly insulted anyone and everyone that did not agree with his broken logic 100%, destroy the only working device to save "oil man" jobs, and then not produce on his self-appointed deadline yet still claim the device works. For those reasons, I cannot respect him until he produces. Anyone else and I would accept the effort as enough, but AQ pushed it too far.

.....and here we are again, Archer has run into an obstacle (money and family) that is hard to surmount.

I wish he'd just post a donate link for the entertainment aspect of things and label it so, that way the "fun" doesn't have to end so soon.
With his most viewed ratings for Ozzie-land, put something in (I think the Tube has this function) to display ads on his video pages so he can get paid that way.
Ain't coming out of anyones pocket but the advertisers, and if that isn't a win/win situation, I don't know what is.

I think there is some merit to the idea, but even those that profess there is none still keep coming back, still keep watching and debating the videos, still (for some ungodly reason of human psychology) post their opinion of it not working, again, and again, and again, and............

So noted folks, your input has been appreciated.

@ sevich

Every man has an opinion (which as long as it's labeled theory, or opinion, or story, I have no problems with).
If you have problems with anothers opinion, how do you get through a day?

@ house

It might work.

Give it a shot with some PVC pipe for a test.
I do think the the shape of the "catching" rod ends will be a big deal with the design.

@ Thaelin

Good to see you're still with us.

@ Thoth

I think that idea (lever moving the rod)  was proposed by Mark69 about 1 page back. The only thing I can see about using a lever as it switches the 7 and 1 outside arrays to attact/repel, and the inner arrays to repel/attract.

I've been wondering about the use of iron to effect the field too.


==========================================================

All in all, I hardly find it surprising that such "opposition" to the idea has arisen since, here in the states, the most popular TV pastime is "reality shows" (now isn't that an oxymoron?) where it's always a competition of popularity, as much as actual ability.

....and it seems our energy choices seem to lean the same way.

Anyway, why stop building just because Archer has? We supposedly have all the necessary info, and people are still proposing ideas about it.

Try and discover.
When has it ever been any different?

Perhaps iron shaped to match the funky image on the front of Leedskalnins book
