Title: The Prometheus Effect, an OU Challenge
Post by: prometheus_effect on April 19, 2005, 11:57:09 AM
Here is my Prometheus Effect OU challenge,

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Imagine a level surface with two poles at right angles to the level surface. One pole is 1 meter high and the other pole is 2 meters high. The poles are 10 meters apart. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81m/s^2.

Now imagine a 1kg steel ball resting on the level surface next to the 1 meter pole.

Lift the steel ball to the top of the 1 meter high pole, then allow the ball to drop back to the level surface and measure its final velocity. From this calculate the resultant Kinetic energy as KE1.

Lift the steel ball to the top of the 2 meter high pole, then allow the ball to drop back to the level surface and measure its final velocity. From this calculate the resultant Kinetic energy as KE2.

Confirm KE2 - KE1 is the effective work done to lift the steel ball the extra meter from the top of the 1 meter high pole to the top of the 2 meter high pole.

Connect an inclined ramp from the 1 meter high pole to the 2 meter high pole such that the ball's starting and final heights are the same as before.

At the side of the ramp place a pair of magnet arrays arranged such that their facing pole faces are opposite and an equal distance from the centre line of the inclined ramp. They are closer together at the top than at the bottom of the inclined ramp so as to form an increasing magnetic density along the inclined ramp with sufficient
Ferromagnetic attraction so as to attract the ball up the inclined ramp.

Lift the ball from the level surface to the top of the 1 meter high pole and onto the start of the inclined ramp at a point where attraction up the inclined ramp is balanced by gravitational attraction down the inclined ramp. At this point the ramp starts and there is no ramp down incline from the ball resting position. Slightly nudge the ball backward and measure the falling ball's final velocity. From this calculate the resultant Kinetic energy as KE3.

Replace the ball at the starting position on the top of the 1 meter high pole / start of the inclined ramp and slightly nudge the ball up the inclined ramp. Notice the ball is pulled up the inclined ramp by the increasing magnetic field density and drops off the ramp as the ball reaches the top of the 2 meter high pole's end of the inclined ramp. Measure the falling ball's final velocity. From this calculate the resultant Kinetic energy as KE4.

Confirm KE3 is with-in 5% of KE1 and KE4 is with-in 5% of KE2. Note KE4 is in excess of KE1 / KE2 and the difference is OU energy.

Note that no outside energy was used to move the ball along the inclined ramp from the top of the 1 meter high pole to the top of the 2 meter high pole yet the falling ball has significant excess Kinetic energy to that which would have been expected. Conventional theory would suggest the final Kinetic energy KE4 should be less than KE1 / KE2 as the ball experienced various forms of frictional and eddy current loses.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I call this OU effect the Prometheus Effect and have verified (on a smaller scale) that the above energy gain actually occurs. Others have independently verified a similar energy gain but using a different measurement system. Would a demo of this (the Prometheus Effect) qualify as a real OU effect to you? Comments either way and discussion of the measurement protocol most welcome.

I have released the data on the Prometheus Effect on this forum for non commercial use. Please contact me for commercial use.

In my view, yes, it would,
cause you get the extra Kinetic energy for free.

Other comments are welcome.

Well done example.

An OU measurement system has been developed which directly measures the amount of energy creation for each pass through a Prometheus Effect OU gate. The Prometheus Effect is what is at the heart of the SMOT device. Details can be found at:

Dear prometheus_effect,

If you performed an experiment then why don't you reveal your exact data?  I believe OU may be possible on the quantum level such as the intrinsic electron spin, but your experiment is on a large scale.  I do not believe your experiment is free energy much less over unity.  I would be very interested in seeing your exact experimental data including the dimensions, where you placed the measuring equipment, etc.

Sincerely,
Paul

Hi Paul,

If you log-in to the Prometheus Effect site ALL the data and videos are there including independent verification done by the team of Jean-Louis Naudin and French physics Professor Pierre Clauzon. The data is very solid and the OU Prometheus Effects is easily duplicated from the full disclosure data on the site. You could even check out the OU claim yourself.

Just goto:

I checked it out for a few minutes so please excuse my dumb questions.  I played 3RampsLinked.avi.  Looked interesting but the quality was so poor I couldn't see any details.  So I tried ClimbDrop.mpeg.  Much better quality.  I did not try the ram's because I think those are realplayer.  I don't have rp and don't care for it.

Anyhow, I have one issue with the demo from the only video I could see details with, ClimbDrop.mpeg.  I don't like that the ball falls lower than where it started.  I'm sure you can see my reasoning, which is -> When the steel ball falls farther it can escape the magnets (which pulled it up) more easily.  Have you already or could you repeat that particular exact experiment except please allow the steel ball to fall to the same level where it started.  I would like to see if the steel ball can still escape.

Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,

Thanks for taking the time to have a look. You really do need to view the two Real Player videos and then study the measurement data (the .gif and .txt files) obtained by the independent OU verification team of Jean-Louis Naudin and French physics Professor Pierre Clauzon.

Best regards,

Dear Prometheus Effect,

I just downloaded JLNClauzonOUTest.ram.  The other one, LongerOUVerification.rm, is no longer available.  I get the "Document Unavailable" web page error.

I have a big problem with the JLNClauzonOUTest.ram video.  I see the point they are trying to make in the video and I disagree.  They are showing how far the ball rolls when going through the magnets verses a drop off the ledge.  This is completely unscientific and unfair.  The ball has horizontal velocity in the first test and nearly zero horizontal velocity in the 2nd test.  In the 2nd test, most of the kinetic energy is dissipated from the near vertical fall.  If you drop a steel ball straight down, then it will not bounce up with hardly any velocity.  So most of its energy is dissipated.  In the 1st test the steel ball has horizontal velocity.

Here's an example that clearly demonstrates what that test is doing.  Take a nice smooth rounded ramp, like a skateboard ramp.  Take the ball to top of ramp and allow ball to roll down ramp.  After the ramp is a slight inclined hill.  Measure how far the ball rolls up the hill.  Now replace the rounded ramp with a much steeper inclined ramp-- nearly vertical.  Drop the ball from the top of the ramp and measure how far the ball rolls up the hill.  You will see that in the first test with the more rounded ramp that the ball rolls higher.  In both ramp tests, we are moving the ball up to top of ramp.  This gives the ball potential energy.  When the ball rolls down it gains kinetic energy.  In the first ramp test, we are transferring more of the kinetic energy to the horizontal axis.  In the second ramp test, we are transferring most of the energy in the vertical axis.  Can't you see the difference?  In the second ramp test, most of the energy will be dissipated in the downward movement.  Whereas in the first ramp test most of the energy will be dissipated in a horizontal movement, moving up the ramp-- a horizontal movement.  To really clarify this for you, take both extremes.  Throw a rock straight down.  Then throw a rock sideways.

Huge difference!

I have a valid test and perhaps you have already performed this test.  All that matters is can the steel ball travel to the same height that it started AWAY from the magnets.  In other words, you drop the steel ball, it rolls up the hill as the magnets pull it up, and now it must break free from the magnets.  So it seems obvious that you are using gravity to break the ball free from the magnets.  So do what ever you think is best in breaking free, just as long as the Steel Ball ends up away from that end of the magnets AND at the same level that the ball start.  If you have such a video then please by all means show me where it is.

I don't see this as free energy because it seems like a balanced test.  That is, you use magnetic attraction to pull away from gravity, then you use gravity to pull away from magnetic attraction.  If this was free energy then all you would have to do is get about four of your ramps and rotate each one so that they form a closed loop circle.  The ball would eventually end up where it started and would continue to roll up and down the ramps forever.  I suspect somebody has already tried this and failed because it seems like the obvious test.

Sincerely,
Paul

Hi Paul,
Prometheus Effect= Greg Watson and Epitaxy had alread achived rollaround
in a loop for at least 5 times until the ball too much energy and jumped out of the tracks.

I think the new measurement system of Greg Watson is a valid OU measurement system.

Dear Stefan,

Don't you think such a machine would be top of the video file list at the Prometheus Effect Yahoo groups?  I looked at all of them and did not see such a machine.  I am very skeptical on this one Stephan.  How long has this Prometheus Effect steel ball magnet thing been around?  If it is new, as in few months, then that is a different story.  If it's been around a year or more than I see nearly 100% chance that Greg Watson and Epitaxy is a hoax and not true.

I'm sorry, I just don't see this one being free energy, much less OU.  I think OU is possible on a quantum scale, not macro scale.  I see free energy possible on the atomic scale such as the Magnetocaloric effect and perhaps on a more macro scale such as Bruce Depalma N-machine.

My 2 cents ... and I know I know, worth every cent of it. :-)
Paul

Post by: hartiberlin on April 22, 2005, 10:38:24 PM
Well Paul,
at least Greg has claimed it and also Epitaxy, as he still lived, was claiming it too.
Unfortunately he died shortly after this in a car accident... hmmm...

Greg didn?t want to show it at this time, cause he wanted to go
commercial with it, which failed due to several reasons, he told us no
inside informations.. just problems with his partners.

Well he now claims, that he has another closed loop device ,
which he will only show under an NDA and  until his SMOT measurement system is
fully explored and understood.

Regards, Stefan.

Beat you? At what? Making a OU device? You lost that round in 1997
when I published the SMOT plans.

Well as least you have finally exposed yourself and revealed your
true intentions. To cast doubt, foster your own ambitions, goals and
theories.

By the way Paul, flux gate motors are not OU.

See what "Light"? The "Light" of YOUR theories? Who appointed you or
even asked you to do this? How dare you insult the intelligence of
the other list members by talking down to them like this.

If your time is so pressed, then maybe you should stop wasting it in
this forum and show the world how you can make a OU flux gate motor.

Greg,

Why do you simply copy the same message and post it in numerous places?  This is the FOURTH place you have posted this exact same message.  Are you OK?

Once again, here is my reply:

You don't seem to understand? I have clearly stated that IMHO the SMOT & so-called prometheus effect project is a distraction. So if I am convinced the SMOT and prometheus effect are false then why would I allow myself to build the machine when others have already done so. If I allowed myself to fall victim to your distraction then I would be beaten.
Cast doubt? Well, it seems I am the one who is offering science and math at your Yahoo forum. On numerous occasions I have challenged anyone to find error in my math or step-by-step process-- still no takers. I have asked you repeatedly for this so-called document that contains proof. Still to this day you have not point to the exact location of this document. You would have to know that I would find any errors in such a document if they existed.

I lost the round in 1997, Greg???  I just found out about the SMOT & so-called prometheus effect just recently this year, as in about a month or so ago.  Don't you recall?  You were the one who came to the Yahoo Group forum that Sterling so kindly created for me and you attempted to bring it down by false science claims.  You tried to find error in my research and you failed miserably.  Don't you recall the major mistake you made in the permeability & RL time constant-- how I so clearly pointed out your error?  That's how I found out about the so-called prometheus effect.  It would seem that you are the one who lost the round Greg on my forum and also back in 1997 when you claimed a looping SMOT.  Many people including Stephan talk about your old claims of looping the SMOT.  So if you had the smoking gun 8 years ago Greg, then what happened?  Can you in good conscience take these poor people another 8 years?  I'll pray tonight that these people will see the truth in you.



> By the way Paul, flux gate motors are not OU.

BTW Greg, I never said flux gate motors are OU. You are the one who
believes in Over Unity. I have repeatedly claimed that I am not a
follower of OU, but rather I prefer to use the term Free Energy.  Please quote me!  I'll be waiting.

So you think that it should be a dictatorship society? That people
cannot come to your prometheus_effect forum to offer math and step-by-step processes to disprove you?



> If your time is so pressed, then maybe you should stop wasting it in
> this forum and show the world how you can make a OU flux gate motor.

Please by all means show these people where I stated the flux gate motor is OU? You are the one who believes in OU. I have clearly stated many times that I am not a follower of OU but rather free energy.  There is a vast difference. I think you are now grasping at straws to the point of trying to put words in my mouth. You put words in my mouth without quoting me.  I'll be waiting and will remind you of it.

I think your days are coming to an end Greg.  People are now posting your 8-year-old posts.  Even people such as Joe are now questioning you.  My motives are to help people free themselves with Truth.  I am not trying to judge you.  Believe me Greg, there is a far greater judge then I!!!

Wasting my time?  I think about the well being of other people Greg. Do you understand getting past the Me Me Me stage?  Why do so many people in modern society have such difficulty with being of service to others; i.e., getting past the "Me" stage, spending ones time helping others.  I have signed up for numerous local projects to help the community.  It's called Unconditional Love.  It's called being spiritual.  It's called being a good person.  It's called Pure Logic.  Even the character portrayed in Star Trek known as Spoke said while sacrificing his life to others, "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."

Sincerely,
Paul

Hi Butch,
how should the balls roll ?
From right to left the ramp down and then in the bowl from left to right up ?

Or does the ramp swing down and then the ball will run up the ramp from left to right ?

How exactly are the magnets swinging sideways ? Why ?

Post by: Oxygon on April 30, 2005, 07:21:10 PM
took me a while... but i think I get it...

the moving magnetic arms act as a "pliers-like" device as the first sphere rolls down the tract, the pinchers nearest the pivots points "pinch" another sphere up and down the ramp becuase of the increased leverage the first sphere gives the arms as it rolles further from the pivot point...

I guess the assumption here is that the "first" will cause the second sphere to be piched upward and unto the track so too perpetuate this leveraged pinching...

this is just an opinion...

I guess we will hear more when we get a responce...
Title: Re: To Stefan
Post by: Butch LaFonte on May 01, 2005, 08:13:31 PM
Stefan,
The cycle starts with the ball rolling up the ramp from left to right, then drops down and turns back rolling from right to left, The ramp is lifted up to let the ball roll under it, The side rails are opened to keep the magnet's field from pulling back on the ball. When the ball passes the ramp, the ramp is dropped and the side rails brought back in to normal position. The cycle starts again.
Just a theory, it has gravity and magnetism working together at the same time.

Prometheus_Effect = Greg Watson

I am an old member of the first "SMOT Forum" which was running on the
Internet a few years ago.
I remember well, that Greg Watson offered an "OU Smot Kit" which was
orderd by many people.
They sent their money and never got anything - except promises...
 then ...

GREG WATSON disappeared

I don't know what happened in the meantime ?

Greg is back!
May I ask Greg, to tell us, what happened to the people

- Did they get what they payed for ?
- Did they get it refunded ?

Now he is offering against against plans, software and other things ...

Before we are considering this, may I ask him
to answer my questions ?


Many thanks

Felix

Felix, a few other people also did get their money back.
Also my colleague Dieter Bauer.
I think it was very fair of Greg to sned the money back.
Well, he also did only get about 20 orders or so...

Hi Felix,

Most folks sent TTs to my bank. Problem was to align up the fund receipt details with the sending bank details and then the person. From memory I got about 20 orders and did about 6 or so refunds. Some guys never asked and I was not able to identify them. Some said they would wait and some wanted their money back.

I'm now in the process of building up the SMOT kits with the new measurement system to ship to those waiting on their back orders but I do not have a good list so I have asked on many forums for those waiting for SMOT kits to contact me with their details.
