I do not think you are understanding what I meant by longer and shorter. If the crossbars are all the same length, as one tips, it will "appear" shorter from the side view.

It would be helpful if you lengthen and shorten the crossbars on the side view model to reflect the tilt, because the tilting effects the X and Y. From the side view, a crossbar will be longer when not tilted and shorter when tilted. Do you agree with that? Currently, without showing things in propo...

@Sam Peppiatt: It is okay if you reference backpages. I was just trying to make a helpful suggestion. I did not want to make you feel shame. I was not upset with you or anything like that. I am sorry for causing you frustration. You are fine exactly the way that you are.

Ah. Understood.

I think that if the windshield wipers were operating sails, then that could possibly move a vehicle forward or back, or both. That would be because the sails are pushing air with force in the direction forward or backward, and also sideways force but that does not matter because the tires will not a...

My back would be dispersed among a much larger area than your feet. If I was laying down on a surface that is the size of your feet, I would get bruised on both sides. That would be a matter of kilograms per millimeter, right? I am not saying that you are wrong. The whole space-time thing is still v...

That makes sense. I was very careful to not say anything along the lines of do not do this, for that very reason. I really do not want to stifle anyone's creativity. I mean, I am talking about windshield wipers driving the vehicle.

Oh, okay. Platform meaning your last example.

Not that I can think of.

I am not sure what you mean by platform. It was just a question. We are brainstorming, correct? Is there any way to make windshield wipers so they contribute to the forward or backward motion of an automobile? I would think that only wipers for the side windows would be able to contribute. I am thin...

Do windshield wipers contribute in any way to the forward or backward motion of an automobile?

Well, if the axis is vertical, the Z axis could be used to play with gravity, while the X and Y will be free from gravity. I agree with everything that was said by Tarsier79 and Fletcher regarding a horizontal axis, no matter how wide the machine is.

How about if you have a preloaded platform with upward force that matches your weight force, then when you jump in the air the platform rises until you land on it again. I think that it may have to ratchet so that it does not move down when you jump. It sounds like a fantastic workout.

Helium?
