Roll on the 20th June

Based on his latest videos of the arms rotating up to about 8:00 why is he going to spend more time adding another set of arms?  Wouldn't he be better off adding the magnets to prove his claim with the existing arms?

Seems to me adding another arm would add more electricity generation capability but at this point I think he should prove his concept as fast as possible. Based on the build right now, it should be capable of acceleration with the existing arms if his claims are correct with the magnets.

Well, 21, just had my birthday. I am a jr. engineering at a Fortune 500 company, will be a full engineer upon graduation. Ever heard of "internships" or "part-time?" How is that so far fetched? Really, youd eat ice cream off the ass of a guy who has had 300 jobs, but the idea of a college student with a great early start on his career is outragous?

And why wouldn't I, or any engineer, make a good accountant? We are all pretty damn good with numbers, I think we can handle some basic arithmetic...

No wonder you're talking like a 21 year old kid. Happy birthday kid. Take some time to grow up. Working for a Fortune 500 company doesn't mean you're smart. It just means you're probably an average college kid. That's all.

What you need to learn is to stop talking, stop typing ... take a deep breath and ask yourself whether your comments serve any useful purpose. Most people on this forum have more experience thinking about OU/FE in their sleep than you have in your entire 21 year history.

That is not to say you should not be free to express yourself or disagree but do please do use the stuff between your ears to try to appreciate what AQ or other inventors are been trying to do, all on his own time and $.

For your information, I support AQ  but had not been able to contribute $ at this stage, not because I don't want to but because of family circumstances. It's a matter of time before my situation changes and when it does, AQ will definitely be on my giving agenda.

cheers

Hey OU-812,

That's a fair point. In theory it should work with just the two arms, although with much less torque. Then again, maybe he can knock the extra arms up fairly quickly and thought it best to get that part of the build out of the way.

We'll see how he gets on with it today. I might drop your suggestion to Archer via email if the extra arms look like the extra arms might take a while to add. I'm not sure how often he checks back here now as unfortunately there's a lot more noise than constructive comment.

Happy birthday mate. 21 is a big one. Enjoy it.
I'm not having a go at your job, I was merely making the point that you couldn't possibly be qualified to do accounting for anyone.
Now go and get yourself full of "beer" and enjoy the occassion.

EDIT

As far as the "all engineers are pretty good with numbers" comment I will disagree. I would have thought most engineers were good with basic grammar and spelling considering the number of projects you would need to contribute written material to. But, alas, you have definitely proven me wrong on this point.

I'm sorry, how have you humiliated me many times before.

I'm glad you haven't felt humiliated. At least you're more mentally stable than Newt.
And I'm not in to posting people's PMs PP so let's just leave it at that.

AQs supporters have donated very little. How much did you donate?
