Nice tunes

How come your the only one aloud to play?

You have more toys than anybody [even stuffed ones]!!

Who knows what this nice test bed will evolve into [It definitely ain't gonna break the bank]

Rick is Top ,Top shelf people   with lots of smarts

Anyway back to work for me

Rick's doing great but there are some pitfalls, and since he looks like he thinks his design is new, I just thot I'd tell him what a lot of other people already have found out.

Ricks setup kinda reminded me of this (old) video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_43fb2Kf3M
notice the springs on the stator?

I don't know why you say that, Lakes.  My setup doesn't even faintly resemble this, and my machine hasn't, doesn't, and will not be using springs of any kind.  The only thing you might say is similar is that he is moving his stator magnet.  By the way, he moves it much farther than I need to move mine, and he can't even continue rotating in one direction.  Very feeble, I'd say, but I'll let you decide that.

Oh, my flywheel is now mounted, and I will be doing some tests later today.  Right now I need to get some sleep, as I've been up all night again.

Here's a link to a photo of the mounted flywheel:

I look at your test bed [vertical in this pic]

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL a privilege to see

The genius of this simple cheap design and all the possibilities jumps right out of the picture

You are an Inspiration

I was`nt being critical of your setup Rick, just pointing out a possible way of moving the stator.

Anyway I continue to follow your efforts with interest...
