Mayday! Mayday!!!

Must be one of those overly sensitive molting vultures?

I am a preverbial vulture swooping down on the carcasses left by others as I see meat others have left.

I'm sure Raj saw you swooping :D

[Ed]

He came for the meat but stayed for the bones. :-)

[raj]

Chris,
I am too happy to answer your querries:

1. the weights are equal size/mass.

2. Suffice it to say that the two weights are in/on the wheel:
One weight goes down by X-units and the other weight goes up by X-units, when the wheel is let go from a position.

With a year without posting, and then only after a week being back, I am reminded why I didn't visit this forum.

It is not a forum where new ideas are considered rather a place where Cromwellian witch hunts take place.

Ovyyus, you can have your day. I give it to you.

Goodbye.

Chris

[Ed]

Be careful Bill. Vultures will induce vomiting when threatened. Usually it’s very acidic, but "Cromwellian witch hunts� is weak sauce. :-)

Chris, what do you expect us to think? By your own words you demonstrate this strange behavior.

You’re back from a long break and in a short time you form a bromance with Jim. You mention that selfishness is the rule of the land. You reiterate, as Bill pointed out, that you are a vulture searching for viable carcasses. You “openly� and “honestly� post picked over remains. You announce you’ve found what you’ve been looking for and will “withdraw� from the forum and fly away to regurgitate.

But, you stick around, apparently to pick over one last carcass whilst waiting for the patent office to open, but try to convince us you’ve found altruism.

Obviously the little trained minions have spoken and they think this desert needs more vultures. I just hope they realize that the ones that molt don’t always wait until death.

You can’t instill the virtues of selfishness and then make us believe that you are a freegan.

You're right Bill. The future, and the ambiguous ambience of the mirage, are indeed stupid!

Ed attacks Triplock again. Bill attacks Triplock again. So who is the bully?
Ed and Bill seem to enjoy being bullies - in my opinion.

If you two keep being ugly toward people who are simply trying to post and discuss Bessler wheel ideas, then your reputations will end up in the sewer.

I used to have a lot of respect for Bill and Ed, but not so much anymore. It seems Bill and Ed are the vultures here, waiting to swoop down and pick the bones of anyone who ventures in with intelligent comments.

Again - just my opinion.

[Ed]

And I used to have much respect for Jim. i also respect Chris' abilities, just not his motives, based on his own words... not an attack, as Jim tries to measure it. More of an observation and opinion, but Jim should be familiar with those as well.

But now Jim is playing liberally with other people's privacy by posting their images on the public side of the forum without their consent... in an apparently despicable manor. He can swear and use all manor of vulgar personal insults and tell you they are not insults but "being defensive" and that your comments are actually attacks on him! Yet he remains Highly Bewhiskered. Much of his behavior lately should get him banned due to breaking actual forum rules, not perceived insults and "attacks".

That is just my opinion.

So what do we do about all of this? Jim has already rejected making amends and THEN moving on (or even just moving on), so what else?

[jim_mich]

Ed attacks me again. So who is the bully?

[Ed]

Why are you hitting yourself? Huh?! Why?!

You never actually want to discuss these issues, just spout childish search marker phrases.

So much for any kind of debate with you, even ones that might try to resolve issues. Just let your comments and actions fester until eventually others will see the light. It's just a matter of time and you not having the ability to blame your "typical bullies". There will be others you will invent.

[ovyyus]

Jim, please don't blame me with your problems.

Ed is right, you owe members here an apology for posting their private forum photos onto an open public forum. I remember you raking Ralph over the coals for less.

BTW, you still haven't found a way to respond sensibly to Dwayne because you are wrong and he is right. There I go just trying to be helpful again.

PS sorry raj for messing up your topic.

[Ed]

Ditto apologies to Raj.

[Furcurequs]

Jim...

BTW, you still haven't found a way to respond sensibly to Dwayne because you are wrong and he is right. There I go just trying to be helpful again.

Thanks for acknowledging that. Don't think you can start going easy on me now, though! ...or I'll get lazy and slip up and then jim_mich will pounce and have me banned. ;)

...lol

Yeah, sorry for the disruption, Raj.

[raj]

Hi Folks!

I believe the storm has now subsided. I hope, now a truce will prevail. After all, we are all gentlemen, aren't we? At least, I take ALL of you, as my Gentlemen Forum Friends.

Well, here we have a drum wheel(1) with weights(5) resting/rolling inside channel(2) and Channel(3) in the form of two Hindu Swastika (clockwise swastika), swinging on cords(4) at 45 degrees interval from inner rim of drum wheel(1), which is designed to turn clockwise, using inner rim as a ramp, on the lower side, about the 12 o'clock position.

There's is nothing more to it.

Raj

[Thomas]

Hi Raj,


You seemed to be very enthusiastic about your previous design configuration. Although this one still has a significant major element that hangs from the main wheel, other parts of the design have changed drastically. What happened?


Tom

[raj]

Dear Tom,

This one seems to have a better net torque clockwise.
This can be easily deduced from the drawing, if one can visualise the wheel turning clockwise.

Raj
