Okay,  I have a little update video on revisions I've made.  I have more to go but I think it is showing promise!

Hi All
A few things first like I said if Archer followers know so much about electrity why didn't they correct him about magnets creating drag when they cross an air coiled wire, second the Gem motor only has one moving part so less friction, third Gravity I would think is balanced not helping because comming down it helps but going up its against thats why your electromagnet is there to push up against gravity so no extra energy is comming from the wheel through gravity and you still have to make up for the power in from the electromagnet.
Oh and as I see Archer has nothing yet just words and people saying it works but no proof.
Show a working model that prove OU then make claims it works and the world is changed.
Take Care All

Graham,

you can cross the gap timed to match the field collapse function. remember the "drag" is not from moving passed the copper, it is from entering and exiting the induced field bariers. - or in the case of a sheet or large metal object - the edges of the current-lines. if you reverse the poles while the field is collapsing, that "drag" doesnt exist.

you can induce a field with no drag - drawing current from it is what will then create the "drag".  An effect which is inversly proportional to resistance (OHMs). Lower the resistance = raise the "drag"

consequently, it is also directly proprtional to Current (Amps). Raise the current = raise the "drag"

and under ideal conditions -- "drag" is exactly = to the power out  (Joules per second).

Which is ALSO = to the energy loss felt by the Wheel, making it ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENT than a mechanical drive generator. (under ideal conditions).  Now , most direct-drive systems have a lot of "friction", which i think was his point in using something like that which started that whole argument.

This is used in most modern (DC) motors/generators.  open them up and take a look at it.

the Generators that produce their own back-EMF  (i.e.  "drag" when theres no load) are relatively inneficient, before you even begin to draw power from them. I would stay away from those if you are to attempt an "OU" system.

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).

I hear ya man.

VERY interesting and exciting threads GK and pauldude have in the TPU arena. I have been following them closely and popped in on GK's early enough after the announcement to congratulate him and point to the similarity of his coil feeding design to that of a celtic knot type symbol for the Trinity.

Seems like it might be time for a few more discoveries, even if they be other "scientific outlaws".

The effect of gravity changes for each angle as the arm progresses.
if you look at the direction of motion the arm is trying to make (being pulled down from gravity)....
and figure the force at each of 90-degrees, from verticle to the horizontal. over-lay them on a central axis and that will give you the "arc" shape you need.

Thanks for the update, Dusty.  Yes, it's showing promise.
