If you keep on banging your head hard enough one of these days something interesting might fall out of it...that's a no brainer.

Does that include the plutonium stuffing?

An idea over from ou.com. Take a circular tube where half of the tube has a larger cross sectional area, say 4 times bigger. Given a constant flow rate, we know that the velocity of the fluid in the two different halves has a ratio of 4, that is to say that the velocity in the smaller area tube is 4...

These are good observations Mark. When the tether is tangent to the rim 100% of the force in the tether line is being used to decelerate the motion of the wheel. After the contact point of the tether reaches the attachment point only the cosine of the force is applied to the motion of the rim; the ...

Your problem from the very beginning was that you don't accept help. Knowledge in certain areas you lack can be filled by others, you ignored this little fact for a while. Notice the arduino setup I mentioned a few pages ago. I could help you program it to get analytical data out. All you need to do...

pequaide, what would it take for you to finally start measuring stuff after all these years. Most of your data is guesstimated. You're putting your energy in all the wrong places including your wheels.

I was able to dream being in Besslers house once. I remember being lucid and very excited to being so close to the "wheel". Needless to say I had intercourse with Bessler's wife and his neighbor's wife, when I woke up there was only an elongated warped beam. Could it be a clue?

How about we end this bullshit and collaborate to build one conclusive setup. I have found a localish fablab were you can use laser cutters, routers and what not to build the things you want. It's publically open every Friday which is my day off. So what if you guys pitch in with some monetary fundi...

Or you could just use measuring equipment. You know like a scope, an IR switch and all that other witchcraft. Even an arduino, some ready made IR sensor for it and perhaps an LCD Keypad Shield would satisfy all your needs for 35€-50€ tops. You can't beat that seeing how expensive lab equipment i...

I also forgot to mention something about simulators. Let me tell you why any physics simulator out there will never show an energy gain. It's called constraint based physics. Newton or Leibniz law's don't really define constraints. A constraint could be anything. For instance if you attach a rod to ...

I guess that is why my early experiments were done in a horizontal plane. In my opinion that's the only right way to do these experiments. Some day someone will perform a real quantitative experiment and end the debate once and for all. I'm still as baffled as many months ago that this has yet to b...

Thanks for the input.

This might be wishful thinking but what happens if flow is allowed through an asymmetric tube. Wouldn't the pressure differential only arise at one side. Sure the area of integration is larger, but the pressure is lower AND part of it is acting side ways. In other words, a setup like below would be ...

Very strange indeed. Peq no offense but this time I'll wait for 3rd part confirmation of the experiment, which could also come me, before I jump the fence. It's a bit too simple and good to be true. These are my questions; What is the time of only the tube without any weights on it? Can you reintrod...
