Thank you Grim. If you had been able to read my first book you might have seen that argument in it. Further to my previous postings I also believe that the wind sometimes acts a conservative force and sometimes as a non-conservative force.

John C.

: So far I've heard a lot about gravity being a conservative force, i.e., one-directional pull. this tought crossed my mind:

: "The wind was steady out of the north at 30 mph". How do we know that? The anemometer at the weather station read the speed by being driven in the steady, one-directional (at that time) wind. How does it do it? Uneven wind load on its cups. More push into the cups facing the wind then wind pressure exerts on the cups with their bottoms facing the wind, creating an imbalance.
: So if JB figured out how to apply more gravitational force on one side of his axle then on the other, then would this not be the equivalent of an anemometer in a steady wind? Certainly not perpetual motion, as the wheel's speed should vary slightly when placed in different parts of the earth where gravity varies slightly; you're right, John, Randi would says its just an instrument for measuring gravitational force.
