@BATMAN : welcome back!

You could use http://stashbox.org to host a few files , everybody would then be able to download them and see for themselves.

If you have a wheel I guess it's time to start tracking the prices of those gas generator on amazon! http://www.camelcamelcamel.com/search?q=generator+gas&si=All . You get emails once the product reach the prices you want (works good on HDTVs too  ) . Also usefully to get some money back if the price falls within 30 days from your purchase!

I believe what Archer claims is POSSIBLE, but question that Archer has actually done it.  I disagree that this violates any laws.  That the outcome would appear to, if successful, is representative of a flaw in our 'laws'.  Nature cares not for our laws.  It is for us to be humble in the face of nature.

Best wishes as I return to lurking,

Dude...this has been stated by so many in a few different ways that it bears repeating..and let me just (again) add my take:

I showed up here because this leaked out into the OverWebs. I preserved his original site "just in case" something bad happened, assuming not that he would fail, but that he might succeed. I have a personal interest in this sort of thing, as well as a curiousity...but I also have a BS Meter that cannot be superseded by suspension of disbelief.

I even stated that it was arrogant to assume that such a device could not be made *because even science does not assume this*...and of course got slapped around by a couple of Science as Religion types (the WORSE kinds of scientists are the ones that assume that falsification cannot occur.)

Of course, it appears that amongst the most rabid, you cannot pursue FE (or "FE"...I like PurePower's breakdown on the differences) without believing in OU...contrary to all evidence.

Hell, we even had a physicist warn another physicist that the mere thought of contemplating such things within the bounds of science is a potential Black Mark. THAT TOO is bad science...and I think that is the part that FE/OU unstable types latch onto. Its always One Way. This applies to BOTH SIDES.

BOTH are flawed

If anything my Point of View is Centrist..which I guess pisses off twice the amount of people at the end of the day

WOW - I only just read Mr. Kai's rant.
I now find it neccessary to once again repeat
"Let's keep it constructive people!!!"

Hey Shakman. Your coreldraw looks very good!
I was wondering if you could do the same and superimpose arcs that define the trajectory of the outerweights of the rods? So that people can get an idea of how this thing would look like when moving.

@Batman,

If you like, send me a email at richagnew@rogers.com and I can set up a space for you on my server.
Any and all will be able to view your vids.

Hey Morgenster,

Thanks for the compliment. It's been a while since I've done any type of design stuff so it was good to get into it again.

I've based my design on the images Archer has posted on his website. Seeing as I'm only good for concepts for the time being (unable to start building myself) it makes it easy for me to play around with my ideas (move this here, put that there, visualise what might happen).

If this all works out eventually I'll modify it according to the final build and offer to create some sort of "How To Build" guide for Archer if he wants. I'm in Sydney so I might be able to visit him one weekend and throw some sort of guide together. I thought someone better get a head-start on it.

I'd be more than happy to make the changes you requested.

I have already placed the arms where they are likely to be during rotation. Is this what you meant?
Or do you mean the trajectory of weights extended beyond the outer magnets? (there aren't any photos showing these but I can imagine them if required).

Apologies for not understanding your request the first time, but we'll get there. Let me know in words what you're visualising based on what I've already uploaded and I'll add the changes and post them for you.

@ All - if you have CorelDRAW and would like a copy of the original files to play around with yourself, drop me a line.

PS Glad to see some constructive talk here again!
