Guest Book / Re: A blacksmith has joined the forum
« on: 06/05/2014 23:11:39 »
Greetings All

 I am glad to be back. A lot has happened since I left. Like I became a granddad and have finally been called in to the VA since 1985 for claims back then when I tried to get my knees updated and I finally learned my rights with the VA. They never told me nothing in 1985. We will see how this pans out.

Will the Digital Age Destroy Creativity?


 Yes and no. It will be easier for many people who have limited or no talent to do things that only the truly talented could do before. So it will hurt the need for the talented people. There for originality and inventiveness will be hurt as well. [:-'(] [:-'(]

Technology / Energy revolution
« on: 02/01/2009 04:18:26 »
LOL Old technology but small water wheels [::)]
Paddle/water wheels have been doing that on rivers and waterways for hundreds of years. What I am saying is that the technology comes from the ancient ideas. But this means ancient is not always obsolete.

There is a trade off, but how much of a trade off is it? Only a build to test real time, will give a true effect to measure.

AB Hammer,
You are asking us to invest our time. You have, at the moment, nothing to show but ideas.
The ideas are decidely suspect.
Don't spend any more of your time posting here until you have a real concrete example you can show us.
You can spend the rest of yopur life typing and you won't convince anyone.
If you make the thing work then you will convince everyone instantly.

 So you want to stomp on my freedom of speech? Forums are for people to express themselves. You don't have to answer me, but you have the wright to tell me what ever as long as you stay within the rules. Your time here is the same as mine voluntary. Your word are worth no more than mine. Now if you look at this string it is one of the longest strings on this forum. I would say it is good for the forum.

 The reason there are so many 0 point energy devices, is because they are easy to fake. All of these need to be tested honestly and fairly where the public can see the posted results. Fraudsters are all over just trying to get into peoples pocket. But there are those trying to make an honest effort. Most of the honest ones don't ask for investment until they feel they have something to show, than just an idea.

So you think Newon and Einstein both started from scratch, do you?
Actually, they built on existing and well tested Science. Anyone who starts off on a new, uninformed, track is at serious risk of wasting their time. Be a bit humble about this business; take advice, learn some Science and avoid wasting your time (and that of many other people).

 Pay more attention to what is written. Don't confuse experience with being an entity. Each individual is just that, with experience and references. You are talking like the scientist are suppose to be part of an entity, spending all there time trying to improve what is known. We call this inside the box. The only real progress is those who go outside the box and then later those in the box will absorb it into "your entity" and try to ignore that it was an all new idea and an all new hypotheses that went through trial and error and verbal abuse from those inside the box. "Your entity".
 
Einstein's theories went against mainstream science and was ridiculed at first as well and then the quantum theory cam to be. A new understanding. You need to get your head out of the box and look around how the best breakthroughs came to be and then look how the rest of science steps in to improve it. That is how science works.

All of science starts with a hypotheses
No - it starts with a whole history behind it. It then makes informed hypotheses, based on intelligent analysis of what's been found out already. It does not waste its time in half thought out nonsense.
What you are doing is not Science, it's romance, to put it kindest.

 So you are confusing someones experiences with science (it starts with a whole history behind it) These things help with the hypotheses of course. But the experiences are not the science, they are the person's working with science background that help him or her  in there decision to make hypotheses. In history the artisan, scientist, engineer, and the blacksmith all went under the category of "arts and science". So don't tell me I am not doing science. All and all, All science starts with hypotheses and then the hypotheses have to be tested to see if it is correct or not, Trial and error. Take a look at how many hypotheses are correct first time out? The answer is most likely none, thus the trial and then an error. And this happens again and again and again ..... [;)]

Could you invent a supersonic aircraft or a TV or a computer by trial and error?
Which theories are you prepared to accept and which ones do you reject?
Are you going to develop the whole of your Science by trial and error?
You are being selective and totally subjective about this matter.

Why are you involving yourself with a Science forum if you don't subscribe to the fundamentals of Science?

All of science starts with a hypotheses then the trial and error through testing so the answer to your question is a resounding YES!!! [;D]

I got to get back to work, lunch is done.

SC what is best.
Sitting down doing nothing.
Or testing your ideas to see if they work?

But you are right in that I'm a doubter:)
I think though that AB knows that i doubt.

 You are correct and everyone should doubt. The school of trial and error teaches other possibilities as we go along. That is how I cam up with my grids, by close observation or balance and reaction. The book thumpers who don't build anything are the ones that try to give me the most grief. They can't understand that it is my hobby and I enjoy it and I am chairing some of what I do with others with the same hobbies and those who would just like to see a possible breakthrough.

Somehow any CP machine needs to 'produce' more energy than it uses.
Do you think this one will?

 If I can get enough bubbles. When designing you try for any possibility and then put it to the test grid to check to see if it can be provable. The anti buoyancy design can't be tested with the grids of displacement. Also you look for thing that haven't been tried, or at least look to see what you came up with has been tried by someone else. While I was in the US Coast Guard I observed a river harbor tugboat get pulled down into the Mississippi river due to it's loss of buoyancy due to bubbles. So on this design I am running on experience and what I know. Will it work? that will remain to be seen until I finish my projects on hand that show a 20%+ gain, according to the grids. The grids are my design that uses math in all angles to determine the effects expected. The grids have been tested with other machines with so far 99% accuracy on what would happen. The grids are for regular gravity effects only.

And how do the bubbles get down under the water? Energy is needed to displace the water. Whether you can spot it or not, there is a net loss of energy when any fluid flows.
What's revolutionary in your design which eliminates this energy loss?

 How do you think they got air down to a deep sea diver, and I am only talking about 3 feet. The depth will depend on how strong the pump mechanism needs to be.

 Ha Ha do you even understand it?

It is real simple "if" you can get the bubbles you reduce the buoyancy in the channel tube. Even myth busters proved this about air bubbles and buoyancy. The air line feed back is valved to keep the air feed from filling up with water to be pumped out. A while back I use to work with vacuum cleaners doing repair work. And as a black smith I am well knowledgeable about blowers and compressors. The second version is the best of the 2. The trick is "if" you can get the bubbles it will work. It all depends on the source for the bubbles. Once the bubbles are added will the buoyancy side have enough lift to run the blower/compressor, "if" it can, we have a winner, "if we can't we have another design for the museum of unworkable devices. The other thing to look at, is in what other ways we can use the basics of the design.

PS. again I don't post my best designs, even though this one has a slim possibility.


Bored chemist

Well it is a new approach despite the similarities. No one had tried to reduce the buoyancy before.

Greetings all

 When I found this forum I was stick in the house, and bored out of my gourd sick with pneumonia. Now I am still restricted to good weather since my shop has to much weather exposure being a blacksmith. At home I did allot of drawing design adjustments ect. Tried a few magnet arraignments trying to manipulate the field with only moderate improvement for a magnet design. Due to my sickness I am also looking for a better shop set up to fight against weather exposure. Today was heavy moister so I was limited in how long I was aloud to be out. I do not want a relapse, my lungs hurt to much.

 It is plain as day the patronizing, and I learned along time ago to ignore it. As for showing my designs. Only a fool shows his/her hand before the bet is made. If you want I'll show you some other designs that I have posted on other forums if you wish and we can discuss why, or how it won't work or possibly can.

 I tell you what I will post my anti buoyancy devices. This should make for good fun.

If it is so Earth shattering, why are you wasting time on this website?

 I told you I have been sick with pneumonia, and I am just starting to catch up with my armour work and then I can finish constructing of my wheels and there are 3 different designs that pass my pre-test. So if I am correct which I believe I am, you know the rest.

You have none so how can you be surprised that no one believes your ideas?

Curiosity, and doubt, is why this string is still going strong or why are you guys here? To see what doubt may be wrong? Maybe this guy has done something?
Under this case the final evidence is the machine. But I can't show it or them at this time, if I have any at all. A flower is at its best in full bloom.

Just read your last post. Do you actually know how much the Sun 'wobbles'? Could you actually believe that I didn't know that it does? And is it relevant?

(Do you actually know how much the Sun 'wobbles'?)
No.

(Could you actually believe that I didn't know that it does?)
does it really to me mater if you know it or not in this argument?

(And is it relevant?)
More than you can accept at this time without seeing the machine.

 Well the sun is perceived as our center of our solar system. But what anchors the sun in the center? Each solar system we see in space has a wobble due to conflicting gravitational pulls so what may look like a planet on one side and then the other is more like changing places. Our solar system is no different the bodies pull at each other and we wobble. Our planetary paths are from observation, but when you add all the mass of the planets and the sun the earth fits between the larger masses in the wobble so as they change places the earth is in the center. This is why NASA does all there math calculations as if the earth is in the center of out solar system.

 As for perpetual motion each mass works for and against each other which makes the shift a wobble effect which creates the wobble over onto the descending side. This is just one of the approaches.

How many of you believe that the earth travels around the sun? Or to put it another way.
How many of you believe the sun is the center of our solar system?
Err..I do.
I believe it to be the case based on sound theoretical and observational evidence (ie NOT faith, but belief).
What has that got to do with perpetual motion wheels?

 Well put it this way. If you use the sun as the center of our solar system to project space travel in our solar system you will not make it home. But if you use the earth as the center of out solar system you will make it home. As for perpetual motion what we perceive is deceptive in a similar manner.

Which Scientific Law did the Wright Brothers violate, btw?

They didn't. That is what I have been trying to say. A new understanding, for main stream science felt that Man flight outside of a baloon was improvable back then, but now say PM is impossible when improvable would be a better statement up till now.

 Tesla may have been a bit flaky, but he was no fraud. You need to look into his history and you will see how much impact he had made into our lives. Alternating current, remote control, Radio, and on and on. But big money did try to bury his name and Hollywood villainized him as a mad scientist.
