.....HOWEVER...

I am almost 100% sure that none of his detractors have less than a hope in heaven of figuring out the problem because it is a forgone conclusion to them that it is impossible...and you cannot do what you cannot conceive is doable.

Like flight...radio...and who-knows-what-else. Can't be done. I think it is quite vain and arrogant to assume that all there is to know about physics is known...and very unscientific, to boot.

Furthermore...I often wonder what in hell people think folks *want* from these machines; if someone can get less than 100% output for the input, and the input isn't $4/gallon or $500/mo or someone standing there with a hand crank...I'm not really seeing the problem here.

It is sort of the MIT vs Bell Labs methodology conundrum; one group is looking for the best, perfect, bookwise solution...one group is looking for practical application of knowledge.

I look forward to seeing how deep this rabbit hole goes.

Agree 100% with this - Stan Deyo called it "removing the blinkers" and tells an amusing little anecdote (in a vid) about how those 'really in charge' had to fool the top-scientists of the time, into believing that anti-gravity had already been cracked, but it was their job to re-discover the secret as the guy who had figured it out had been killed - in other words, force them to try "thinking outside the box" again.  Once you believe something is truly impossible, it becomes part of your reality...

Hi All
I can't keep my mouth shut but I have to say it yes a coil in the tube will generate power but only in Archers world will it be OU because and I know its hard for you all to realize that anything is give and take, the magnet will give you power through the coil but it will add drag, thats the take so you need to input more power to push through the drag, try the copper tube magnet experiment to see if I'm wrong.
Ok I'm keeping my mouth shut now.

   About the "big computer", well its actually a small 8 computer cluster server. I use it for market analysis. One couldn't handle the load factor. I receive a data packet daily of > 1 gig. Now you see why?

   Just purchased two 5/8"X3'X3' plywood sheets and more pvc. Now that I have seen the light at the end, its time to make a power generator. I have a friend that has to make the decision of heat or food every winter and so my first will be his. I'm even buying all the parts. Not to mention the farmer who has voiced he would like 4! Now will that spread the word or what?

  The silent storm is brewing.

Hey look, the "courteous newtonian" is back.

There's been about 15 pages added of name calling since I've been gone... but also a lot of people trying to build things.  So I guess that's good.

I find it interesting that Archer, who indirectly started this thread, is the one in the thread who is often the LEAST constructive.  He lashes out with his foul ramblings the second someone starts questioning and challenging.  It's just not the way I'M wired.  In H.S. I had an invention that I wanted to model with wood.  I asked the shop teacher for help because it was beyond my abilities.  He dismissed me and said that it would never work - called it impossible.  But that just made me want to prove it even more.  I modeled it out of cardboard instead.  Why can't we all be more constructive?  There are very smart people in here and many are NOT just total dunkers.

Whether I think it will work or whether I think AQ is full of shit - either way I'll entertain a constructive conversation about it.  Even if it doesn't lead to FREE energy, maybe it will lead to CHEAPER energy or MORE EFFICIENT methods of generating energy.  I live in one of the hottest cities in north america.  There's no reason I can't be driving an electric car that gets half it's power from solar panels and thermocouples.  There's no logical (or even newtonian) reason that I can't be driving to work on $1 a charge.


So.. I like CLaNZeR's build the best.  It seems to have the smoothest axel and the best craftsmanship.

It also seems like a lot of people are having that sticking problem.  I think it's funny in a video when the guy says "well, as you can see it works" but you can clearly see it sticking to a magnet.  I guess this is what AQ is calling "the wall".

So I have some constructive thoughts.. CLaNZeR, I see that on your wheel when you push a bar in at 3' it makes the wheel off balance and turn.  And if you keep pushing bars in when they reach 3' it keeps turning.  Why not just put your opposing magnets targeted there?  I know that Archer's design has the bars pushing up at 7'.  But it takes more effort to push the bar UP (at an angle) than ACROSS (he even said so himself in earlier posts).  So why not do the most efficient thing and push them across?

It would then turn counter clockwise instead of clockwise.  (or do it at 9' to make it turn clockwise.)

#2.. there are already magnets on the "spokes" (bars).  Again to be efficient and have the fewest points of friction, why not build coils that these magnets will cross over to generate electricity?

Oh shit.. I just figured something out...

i know this is off topic but it seems the tpu boys are having success as well,...a 4" coil of wire that can light a bulb or two will be awsome ! , think of all the OU stuff that does not work becasue it needs a little push from something.

..sorry for going off topic, but ive been trying to keep up with the tpu stuff for over 2 years now, so im a little excited to see a 4" working tpu.( im jiggling in my chair).
