. . is there any terragravitic induction on the the moon? mars? uranus? If not, can we mine it & well, never mind. They'd probably have to raise our taxes. I suppose you would have to call it Lunagravitic induction. The principle is simple enough. Implementation is the problem. Fortunately I've...

I hadn't tried that but I have now.
Fascinating.

I enjoyed that. (-:

I now realise why Sjack's Garage Wheel worked. I always believed it probably worked and that he just had difficulties getting it to work consistently. I found the weird thing about his wheel was the way it flung the weights up into the air. What is the view of other forum members on this? Does anyo...

• compared with all other slopes.
  The brachistochrone is that slope.

better than a vertical slope?

Yes. See the Gif. below.

This was a test. You passed with flying colors, Frank.

That's more than my daughter's grammar school did.
For a parents evening they had cards printed with the
name of the school prominently displaying that error.

. So, unwittingly, he would have provided the optimum curve to preserve the higher orders of energy generated on the weight's descent . . Frank, Are you talking about a curve producing optimal acceleration such that gravity is increasing acceleration from the highest possible point/level*? *ETA: @ ...

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/frank260332/CycloidvsCircle.jpg Sjack would have probably used a circular arc for his rising wall since its the simplest curve to lay out.. As you can see from the above graph there's not much difference between that and a cycloid over quite a range of angle....

A lot of members with names beginning with M have joined recently.
How is that allowed to happen?

I think it worked and Sjack didn't realise why.
At 1.55 the path of the weights shown strongly suggests the brachistochrone circuit being
discussed on this Terra-Gravitic Induction thread.

All we need is - see 2.20.....
