Powering the world

Hi Grimer,

I think you will find there are many combinations to the gravity wheel lock, I have shown a couple but no one pulled the lock, they just said that does not look right as it does not have my favorite number on it.

Since, unlike me, you are obviously a prolific builder (judging by your website) why not build one of those combinations yourself and receive the universal acclaim that will be your due.

Grimer,

Those locks can easily be cracked by feel. It usually takes about 2-3 minutes for an average person with some knowledge to do it. I haven't yet seen anyone solve PM in this time.

The unfortunate thing, is everyone is trying the same combination over and over, thinking they are the first one to try it. It doesn't matter how many combinations you try, there are always more, and usually it has been tried before.

Grimer,

That was a superb analogy using a combination padlock. Quite worthy of a 'virtual applause'. A green dot for you ;-)

And the moral of the fact that some cheap combination locks can be cracked by feel is that is one needs some knowledge and feel for the problem.

The trouble is that the people who might have the necessary knowledge and feel (as will be seen when the problem is solved no doubt) do not have the necessary belief that the problem is soluble.

Also, in my view there are only a few realistic combinations of Newtonian and Ersatz gravity which need to be considered even if there are many different ways of engineering those combinations in the same way as there are many different ways of designing an IC engine.

Hi Grimer, I am doing and its looking good on all fronts! just wish I had more time.

Good luck. I wish you every success. I would be even better than winning the world cup.

Glad you liked it and thanks for punching the greenie.

the problem with wind is that it doesn't hold a candle to nuclear:

electrical generators, especially during peak usage times, need a constant and reliable supply of turbine rotation. Power plants, via steam, are extremely good and efficient at this. They are actually at the peak efficiency physically possible! You would need 20,000 wind turbines to equal a single nuclear power plant. It just is not practical at this time in our young human history. At some point, before we evaporate due to the sun expanding, it may be, but I highly doubt it. Fission will arrive before wind takes off.
