Motivating yourself to build something that might not work, something which wouldn't work if the laws of physics were complete can be hard to do.
So, I have decided that some extra incentive is needed, and that can be as a work of techy art, as a hobby or toy, or pride in workmanship, so that someone doesn't rest purely on doing the impossible. Or something to receive some compliments or thanks for trying (presuming you are doing this for humanity).
This way of thinking lead me to make the below design yesterday, it was just some hot glue and materials I already had, why not build something cool looking?
So, below is an Aluminium ring (I cut out from a pot soooo long ago) and some really old magnets (about 25 years old)
I guess this is stage one, it doesn't look like anything that should do anything yet, but it does generate an energy field. with 24 magnet positions.
The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that there should be some public forum for showing of attractive efforts at Free Energy, antigravity, aetheric, engineering with some praise and maybe even rewards (mainly info) for building something that, well doesn't do anything but look a little cool.
Sure, the point is to get results, but I think that if there were some kind of subtle reward, even if just a pride in one's workmanship or taking a photo that looks mildly interesting, that's better than nothing, where you just get sad and pull things apart, or let them gather dust.
This is a work in progress, hopefully I will make it look cooler today.
I mean, if I could have a model of the Searl, or Otis Carr or Hamel designs even if it didn't work as long as I didn't look on them as failure but as cool techy toys, as collectors items, then I could get into that, I think that the relatively low success rate can discourage efforts and all that is needed is a different perspective, some fringe benefit.
So make a design just to look like some device from a scifi set and post it as art!
People put effort into making models of things, or reproducing old technologies just for the joy of it, the coolness factor, well why not bring in that mindset rather than a stifling mindset that focuses so much on achieving some difficult end result, sure the challenge excited me but failure doesn't excite me.
So, I say we should publish our designs, they are not failures, they are set pieces for a scifi movie that hasn't been filmed yet
So I challenge you all to make something for fun, something that you don't expect to work and post a picture of it, compliment each other for actually building something.
Note, I can go into the aetheric principles used in this device if anyone is curious, clearly it is a work in progress.
