Frank: Mmm...All very interesting. It seems to me it's a bit like the
SMOT
which you mentioned in another post, only whereas the SMOT used gravity
this uses inertia as the other arm of the cycle.
Terry: Frank, I would absolutely love to have you explain your
theories to them. As usual, you have hit the nail with your
concrete-head.
Frank: The trouble with the SMOT was, it resembled the John Logie
Baird TV
system whereas the Sprain is more akin to the Philo T. Farnsworth
system - with the difference of course that unlike the SMOT the
Baird system did at least work, albeit crudely.
Terry: Well, the SMOT does demonstrate ou. You have to study this
page carefully.

JLN dropped the ball manually (fingers?) from two different heights and
saw a difference of 55 mm in the "roll away". Drop it from a mile and
see more. <g> He then had the magnets replace his fingers. 5 mm of
fingers vs. magnetism gave 13% of work by the magnets.
Frank: I must admit that I would be happier if the energy output was
measured
by the kind of brake used to measure the output of automotive engines
in my mechanical engineering practicals at college, i.e. by a steel
band around a flywheel with a weight hanging on the end and cooling
water steaming away merrily.
Terry: Well if it comes down to it, Scott Little "Has calormetry, Will
travel". <g> Actually, he would want Paul to bring his device to
EarthTech (Austin, Tx). And I don't think the Magmo will fit in Scotts
box. <bg>
Frank: Still, as the good book says:
"Blessed are those who believe and have not seen."
or words to that effect. 8-)
Terry: Geeze, Grimer! Are you saying you have faith in little ole me?
Frank: As for the emag being the Holy Grail, I would rather think it's
more akin to the Philosophers Stone which can deliver an
inexhaustible supply of Black Gold's energy.
Terry: Yes, but from whence does that energy come? One of the
inventor's partners objects to the term ou. He has a perfect right to
do so. Those of faith know that there is only one Source. Physicists
call it the big bang. Creationists call it creation. Both have faith
and I am not anti-semaNtic. <g>
