@All,

I have been testing a small prototype using K'NEX, Magnetix, and other small neos. The K'nex allowed me to make hundred of test adjustments quickly. My goal was to see if the unbalanced wheel  at a horizontal (9 - 3) level (most torque) could break the walls. 

The main problems encountered was when the wall was on the outside and inside edge of the wheel or just the outside of the wheel, it couldn't pass. When the wall was inside only, it would pass, especially when I put the magnets on the fixed middle rod. The other problem is that you still needed the push pull magnet setup in order to get the distance and leverage needed.

I threw a couple of drawings together that might reduce this problem by moving all walls closer to the center. Also, the magnets should be long thin rectangular shape, to stay as close to the center as possible. 

Wall buster 1: This was my first concept, but after drawing it, I realized the twisting force would be even worst and I don't think the K'NEX could handle it.

Wall buster 2: This version would stop the twisting, but would be hard to build.

Wall tester: This is what I used for the wall testing.

Any constructive comments would be appreciated.

Regards, Larry

Okay, I said previously I would stop talking "people" and only "ideas," but something came my attention that is of dire importance.

Archer left me this little post on my tube vid, "Egyptian Fulcrum Uncovered:"

I will be posting your name publicly, home address the work when this is done clown. You will live with this forever, what chance you will ever be regarded as knowledgeable in life? I am going to show what happens to oil protectors. As for your extension not weighing much, you have the weights on it past the 5 to 1 mark, no prizes for faked videos champ. I assure however your life's achievement in history will be recorded as what you have done in the last few weeks, only to be proven wrong.

Archer, if you want to bring out the big guns, then lets play.

On December 10, 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In it, it states:

ARTICLE 1) All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

ARTICLE 3) Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.

ARTICLE 30) Nothing in this Declaration may be interpreted as implying for any State, group or person any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth herein.

You are already in violation of Article 1. Any publication of my privet information would be a violation of Article 3 as it is a direct infringement upon my "security of person." My right to security is protected by INTERNATIONAL LAW.

If you chose to publish any information as mentioned, I will come down on you with the full force of the law. I have two VERY successful attorneys in my immediate family that would happily take the case. I will own every single one of your possessions (Ive always wanted in a place in Australia). I would first return all donations you received. I would salvage the lever and pay back your misses for all the money you took from her. You will have nothing.

DONT FUCK WITH ME.

Now I understand I have said a few things as well that may be considered a violation of Article 1. However, I have documentation of all said correspondences, including a copy of your "Newtonian View" page, and I have absolutely no doubt in my mind the courts would see right through you and your banter and slander.

---------------------------------------

Now moving away from the legal side, I hope this wakes people up to the true character of the man you are all throwing your money at.

I have two different scenarios Id like everyone to consider for a moment:

Scenario 1
You are a true humanitarian out to save the world. You understand one of the major saving graces for humanity would be to provide clean, free energy. You spend time and money researching and developing a device to meet these need and eventually find it. You have saved the world. Now that you have done so, you sit on the device for a year and a half, then make the device public and promise everyone directions and a demonstration. A few months prior to the release as promised, you destroy the device to save oilman jobs. You then spend time and money on something completely irrelevant to your original promise. A week before said deadline, you attempt to rebuild what you once had, but fail due to lack of financial resources. You then tell the world it can be if you receive monetary support.

Scenario 2
You are down and out because you cant hold a job. As a failed actor, you understand people will pay nearly any price for entertainment. You also understand that people love a good story and a hero. You think to your self: right now in these times of global energy crisis, what better hero than an inventor of free energy that all will have? Knowing the public is wise and there have been FE scams in the past, you must be more creative than asking for money from the start. Instead, you start putting on a big show, cursing and ranting about the injustice in the world. You build hope in all who see. You get everyone cheering for their hero: you, the underdog, a man of the people, savior of the world. Now that you have gained international stardom, how do you collect? You must fail, but not in a way that will discourage your followers: you must miss a deadline. Make that deadline known from the start, it will get everyone talking. But if you tell everyone you already have a device, how can you miss the deadline? You must claim to destroy it for the good of the world, then attempt to rebuild after you realize your mistakes. Once you have publicly failed trying to "save the world," of course all of your followers are going to send you their money in support. If not for desire for FE, they would send it for sheer entertainment to see the story continue.

Disclaimer: these scenarios are entirely fictitious and not intended to depict any individual or event (Got to cover my assets in case things do go to court!)

Now between these two scenarios, which one seems more likely? Truly ask yourself, would you ever destroy a device that could save the world? And if you did, would you wait until a week before to rebuild? Would the humanitarian logically set a deadline for himself (coincidentally on his birthday), or just release it as soon as possible?

Now let me throw another variable into both scenarios:

All during the process and interaction with the public, you have individuals saying the device would be non-functional as defined.

Now, who do you think is more likely to rant and curse at these "naysayers?"

Do you think it would be the humanitarian in Scenario 1, who is just out to save the world for the good of man? Would the man in Scenario 1 threaten to destroy the privacy and career of a 20 year old college student simply because he choses to present an opposing view?

Or do you think it is the con man in Scenario 2, who is having his entire plan threatened by a couple of individuals who just wouldnt take the bait? Would this man threaten to destroy the privacy and career of a 20 year old college student simply because he choses to present an opposing view?

Again, ask yourself which scenario seems more likely...

(Disclaimer: the previously mentioned scenarios are entirely fictitious and not intended to depict any individual or event)... just for good measure

EDIT: I forgot to say... Im not really worried about my credibility. I already have a promising future at one of the best international engineering firms, and none of them have heard of AQ or give a shit about his meager existence and claims. In fact, probably less than 10,000 people have even heard of him out of the 6 billion on this rock. I just dont want personal info out there...

What knowledge he is trying to object is "And the only reason the extension is "way past" is cuz it doesnt way much, and allows me to control the torque by sliding it in and out. But Im sure you understand this, oh great master of the lever!" (in reference to my control weight on my debunk lever). I think every engineer and layperson with a decent thought process would agree with me. Less weight out far is the same as more weight close in. Sound right to everyone else?

Uhm well I don't know. I'll just leave it at that.

I'm sorry that you feel this way. At the time I asked the question I did not know the answer. I didn't ask just for fun, I asked because I had an idea for another probably-not-quite-workable device, and it would only make sense (...) to pursue this design if the answer was that the lever will not auto-level. So your answer discouraged me, because I put quite some trust in your judgement. Later this month, my toys arrived and allowed for a simple experiment - and it turned out that your answer was... uhm... not the answer to the question I tried to ask. So I tried to get you to re-evaluate what you have said. That's it. No feud.

Anyway, I am currently building a prototype, so I'm fine. The non-engineers in this thread can now read that there is a difference between hanging-on-a-string and hanging-in-some-rigid-way from the guy who knows his math, so they are fine too. Guess everything is fine then

Rainer

Cheers! Im glad we got past all that,

And I apologize if I discouraged you, this is never my intention. I am here to inform, no more or less. I may post the occasional suggestion or two, but I put all my thoughts through so much scrutiny they rarely make it to the page. I went back and reread your original question, and I defiantly missed what you were asking in retrospect. But like you said, that is all cleared up now and thats all that really matters...

@Larry

Like the knex! Im glad to see a fellow builder that went old school like myself. I thought about using an erector set, but I thought the nonferrous materials would be better. Keep it up!

I don't think it is confined to this thread.
