Roll on the 20th June

Ah, Archer has been studying the work of the great Chinese philosopher: Ka Ching!

I knew it 

Let the donation flood begin!
I suggest that the forum/thread come up with the accountant. I guess he doesn't have to be based in Australia right ?

I will donate @ the very least for entertainment value I've already gotten.
I think with some of the suspicions of trickery, it better be a real aussie accountant (or trusted member able to fulfill the justification of expenditure vs. receipt) holding real receipts just to make sure everyone is appeased.

People are still not gonna be happy about this.

But if it gets it done, it's friggin CHEAP! How can you complain?

1000 AUD pieces
4 x 800 AUD wage

That's a 1800 AUD thermometer. If after a month no working replication is turning, the money > 1800 goes to the prize.

Errrrr.......ummmmmmm. That's 4200AUD dude 4*800 = 3200 + 1000 = 4200 .

If a replication is done, Archer win the prize and reimburse those who contributed. Pride intact.

Oh wait. He wants the plans done by an engineering firm ... let's say 4000 AUD . Maybe this community could contribute it, or members here could come up with the plans.

Chit. We're talking real money here now. I'd say engineering firm is 4K by itself which brings us to 8200AUD.
If we can't figure out plans for less, I'm hanging up my hat.

PS: I almost forgot : $50 for a tripod , $69 for avsmedia's super bundle. This allow us to keep things in check

I heartily 2nd the last expenditures.

Oooooh right. Didn't double check. Maybe subconsciously convinced that with his building skills the thing will be ready in a week
I guess I can forget being the delegated accountant now

The Trigate looks like the answer to a workable motor. I've checked out the video on youtube. Could someone point me to a site or post plans on how to build one. I'm not sure if the spears are mag's or something else, also the correct polarity of the rod mag's..Thanks

Hi Wild
The spears are steel balls, here is a site that will show you how to arange your magnet, http://www.fdp.nu/triforcegate/default.asp you can take the top magnets out and still get the same effect, this will give you less kick out but better attraction in.
Take Care Wild
