re: What to do about Ken

Part 2: I started with a re-interpretation of the "little book", then proposed the "12 Laws of Mechanical Perpetual Motion", mastered WM2D, posted hundreds of sketches, and tested scores of model wheels. Recently, there was the derivation of "Bessler's 4th Law of Motion&quo...

re: What to do about Ken

Part 2: Yet, on the other hand, I am aware that my extraordinary productivity can be intimidating to other members. I'm sorry...that was never my intention. I now propose a simple way to settle this matter. Let's just put the matter of your acceptance of my counter offer to a simple vote. Set up a ...

re: What to do about Ken

Part 2 : Basically, this final offer involves having my full posting capability immediately restored. However, I will volutarily limit myself to only making posts on two days per week...say, Wednesday and Sunday. If I violate this, then Scott can feel free to immediately ban me from the site. This ...

re: What to do about Ken

Part 1 : Scott has told me several times: Take it or leave it I will most emphatically LEAVE IT! My devotion to promoting this Discussion Board in the past 20 months merits me far more consideration than this kind of shabby and unethical treatment. However, because of my dedication to promoting Bes...

re: Bessler's drawing techniques

Stewart... I like your model of MT143...it looks like something Bessler could have constructed himself! However, earlier, with regard to the pendula attached to the Kassel wheel, you wrote: When running without any load this temporary loss of torque would probably be imperceptible, but under load th...

re: Increase efficiency of rotating shaft.

When a weight is rested on a surface, it DOES do work...but only momentarily. What happens is that the weight does drop a bit in the Earth's gravity field as contact is being made, it then loses a minute amount of the rest masses of its component subatomic particles, and this mass is converted into ...

re: What to do about Ken

Yes...it is I again and I've returned, at least provisionally, to express some thoughts. I must confess that last Saturday morning I found the "tone" of this thread to be particularly troublesome, if not downright hostile. I, indeed, felt betrayed by the very Discussion Board which I had m...

re: What to do about Ken

Wow...when I see a thread with this kind of title, it definitely gets my attention which is not something that is easy to do as a low glycemic / high protein breakfast begins to send my brain into a post digestive stupor! Well, I am certainly sorry if my post size, frequency, style, and content is o...

re: Osama's Message to America!

There's an interesting story coming through on the news today, but I keep missing the beginning of the broadcasts when it is mentioned. However, I suspect that we will be hearing a lot more about it in the coming days. Apparently, the Iranian military is preparing for a series of tests of one of the...

re: Slow page loads

I, too, had great difficulty downloading the pages from this board on Monday morning (EST). I finally gave up and came back at night when everything seemed to be working fine again.
