Okay, I think I know where you re going with this...

First off, this is a tangent from my original statement. Archer said to lift the roller a height x will take less energy on a wheel than going strait up. This is not true, as per my support and evidence.

Now that this principle is known, we can look at the system.

To understand a system, we look at a complete cycle.

For a complete cycle, the system will loose a certain amount of energy y regardless of how fast it goes (not entirely true due to velocity dependent losses like drag, but just play along).

Now, the power lost is (energy lost per cycle)/(time per cycle), or y/t.

To decrease "power loss," we must increase t (since y is constant). If we increase t, the system is just going slower.

While decreasing "power loss" may seem better, its "energy loss" that matters.

Energy defines the system, power tells us how fast the energy is being used. Its like distance vs velocity. Once you get to B from A, it doesnt really matter how fast you got there. All that matters is that you are there. (okay, not the best final remark, but I'm leaving work right now so I don't have time to think of something better!)

PS keep the energy questions coming! I'm not the best at electrical systems or magnetism, but this is my bread and butter!..

PurePower;

As always you give great explainations, however I think you are missing Excommons point( or maybe I am)   I believe Ex means that although the total energy is the same going straight up the wall or going up the ramp(actually the ramp has more from the added distance travelled), going up the ramp is possible to do.  pushing the wheelbarrow up the wall is not.  same energy required(well close enough), one you can do, the other, no. 
this is the whole point with ALL the current designs of overunity projects, looking for the spots in a design that while using the same amount of energy as before, all of a sudden the device works because of the use of a "ramp".

graham do you still have the prototype Chet

Hi Chet
No I don't have it any more, I leant it to someone to work with and maybe improve and I never got it back, I have moved since then and I gave it a miss because as I said I don't know enough about electronics to take it any further.
Take Care Chet
Graham
PS: I can tell you its weight was around 12oz or 350g's and it used 2 1/2 volts.

Hi Larry
I don't want to get into it any more but the onewaygate is the same principle as Archers not the overlapping magnets why do you think he got so upset.

No, the pharmacies don't report anything, neither do the doctors. A lil thing called "doctor patient confidentiallity" goes a long way...

....out the window. As soon as medical histories became computerized it became sooooooooo much easier to harvest such data.

You know much about hacking? If a computer is hooked to the net and the information on it is accessible from ANY other computer on the net at any time it is not really secure data.
Encryption can be broken, otherwise we'd still be using ROT13.

If you're expect legality to stop government, you need to study history. If your fortune 500 company gets a fat juicy gov't contract and you work on it, the gov't probably will know about your 'script and assume you still do unless they have history of drug tests proving that negative for a decent length of time.

And what would they do? Call the Feds/state po and say "um, just wanted you all to know I just sold this kid weed..." think about it...

It ain't the seller, it's the physician, and I'm hoping po stands for police officer rather than parole officer.

And even IF they did put me in the system, I'd rather be known for my legal medical record than criminal record! And its obviously not a problem if this was two years ago and my last two jobs have done a full background check and nothing came up.

There are checks and there are CHECKS.
Ever worked for the gov't or in a gov't regulated industry?
I have.

And yes, I was busted blazing by the po when I had my prescription. I pulled it out and they walked away, no questions asked...

The po wasn't questioning your ability because of it, just your authorization to have it.

Man, If you think computerized records are "safe" you have a poor understanding of how data can be collated to paint a picture.

Just loaded the last details of the smot (nothing new) will only load completed Nothing New Wheel, no builds, see you when its done, days weeks whatever
