Finally, I got the sales page updated and managed to rework the site a bit. It was a combo of feedback from many people that led me to this result. You can see it at: www.springcircuits.com Anyway, thanks for the feedback everyone, Randall PS. You are always welcome to give more feedback, if you'd l...

Great suggestions. Keep 'em coming! Ralph, while I've used McMaster to order things, I only use it to look for things I already know about. So I'm not sure how it would fit with those formats you suggested. I was thinking my sales page would be a landing page from a search by parents searching for a...

When I'm not solving the PM thing...

Hi everyone, It's been a while since I've visited (but that doesn't mean I'm not working on solving the PM thing). Time is tight these days. So if you can help me out, I really appreciate you taking the time to do so. Below is a sales page I've yet to make public (I guess this is public, isn't it?),...

JJH, Didn't Bessler say something about one side being full and the other empty? ... interesting... ...maybe your on the right track to how Bessler did it. I'd like to explore this pump's operation more closely one day, but gotta keep pressing on with the current design (which is different than this...

Scott,
You can offer subscriptions with a 30-day free trial period. Then those who have to have their fix will gladly pay.

Yes that's my opinion too.

me too, or maybe rather more silently (which might translate into more smoothly).

Would you like to moderate this bunch of folk (let alone the technical mumbo-jumbo of running the site)? Not I. A donation to Scott is to compensate him for dealing with the coherent and incoherent posts/people, and especially the banned or about-to-be-banned members! Idea: Maybe a gift of bandwidth...

KAS, If the gravity wheel is just the difference in torque between two sides of the wheel, then the factor of gravity would simply be cancelled out of the equation to arrive at the resulting torque. I don't see how it would help determine the speed of gravity, but many people don't think a gravity w...

I hate ugly ads all over the place. I would gladly squeeze the $1/month if it keeps the ads out. :)

(EDIT: I donated. I feel cleansed of all guilt due to not contributing. ...it's not much, but maybe two years and a month's worth of community buzz access.)

If it is, there's a sphere on the left side that isn't resting on the curve.

Fletcher, I don't think the option of having the mechanism attached to the axle is acceptable according to Bessler. If I recall correctly, didn't Bessler say that nothing was attached to the axle? Another thing... just to be a bit more clear and state the obvious, I didn't mention that the axle coul...

Re: re: Bessler's axle?

dawxc, who said anything about the mechanism being independent of the wheel? The axle? yes. The wheel? no.

When Bessler mentioned in AP that his axle had many holes and compartments, I would guess it could be taken to mean that either (1) the axle was some sort of guide for the mechanism(s) or (2) irrelevant entirely because he had to make holes/compartments in it to facilitate his mechanism(s). Are ther...

Re: re: Wheel acceleration...

Bill, I think your superconductor example adequately showed that the Fxd definition of energy is lacking when trying to describe the generation and/or maintaining of forces. Welcome to the other side.
