By the way, now I am really curious, has anyone managed to get the ball drop to a position level with the starting point or higher? This seems to be my current challenge...

@psychopath, I don't follow you. What do you mean.

I've attatched an image(I hope).

What I meant was if anyone has made a smot where the starting position of the ball was equal to or lower than the position where the ball drops onto(the finish position).

If you don't think that a claim should be backed up with proof, then consider this: I have the answer to life, the universe, and everything, just send me a cheque for a million dollars and this knowledge can be yours!

I do think that a claim should be backed up by proof. This is exactly what omnibus has done! Unless you think that the proof itself needs to be "proven"?



Dear pyschopath,

Well, now that I have read what Omnibus has  called a "proof", I would NOT say it is "exactly" what he has done.  There are proofs and then there are "proofs".  There is an old "proof" that shows that 1 equals 2.  It looks quite good on paper, until you notice that the result was obtained by dividing by zero.

This thread is a "proof", that any thread can easily be infected by Omnibus and his SMOT theory.  Now watch Omnibus make a "comment" like he did to hoptoad in this thread not long ago.

"You're a pathetic little creature that doesn't know his place. Anyone in the know reading your disgustingly arrogant nonsense sees that. What nerve."

Statements like these are common from Omnibus, which you will see as you read the threads.  They say nothing, but are just insults that serve no useful purpose.  There is a good chance he will now insult me. 

You ask if anyone has used a SMOT to raise a ball.  So far I have not seen any evidence of this being done, yet I will not say that it is impossible, nor offer a "proof" that is it impossible.

Ok, Omnibus, where is my insult?

Heres an idea for you, try it, there is nothing like practical experiments to appreciate what is happening in the real world, maths and simulations can only give you predictions, the real test is real world physics.

I have, I can't get it to work. Like I said this is my current challenge. I just want to know if anyone else has managed it, and how.

Good stuff, keep trying, because in the end only you can really answer the question for yourself, omnibus can obsessively keep saying it violates CoE and we can keep disputing him over and over and over.... errr well you get the idea.

How would I know if other people have succeeded in dropping the ball on a higher position? ???

@pshycopath. To disprove that SMOT violates CoE, the math should be done right, by basing it on correct conditions. Omnibus has only prooven that the ball firstly is placed incorrectly in point B, secondly that the ball takes a detour which takes respectively longer time to go back to point A. No exess energy is proven yet. Cheers
Stop repeating this nonsense. Repeating it won't make it true. Energy balance of such machines isn't time-dependent as you incorrectly understand and placing it at B is a fact which cannot be disputed. Violation of CoE by SMOT is proven beyond doubt.

@psychopath,

I hope you understand that the challenge you pose is only an engineering, practical problem and doesn't concern the rigorous proof that SMOT violates CoE.

That applies to you. Try to learn instear of cluttering the discussions with chit-chat and nonsense.

Now, just look at that comparison @DA makes with my proof:

?There is an old "proof" that shows that 1 equals 2.  It looks quite good on paper, until you notice that the result was obtained by dividing by zero.?

Such proof is indeed flawed and it proves my point, not what @DA intended. When I have one apple in my left hand and two apples in my right hand I indeed prove that the number of apples I have in my hands is different by counting them. Same thing in my analysis. When I see that the energy input to the ball is (mgh1 ? (Ma ? Mb)) but the ball loses energy (mgh1 + mgh2 + Kc) I don?t not need to stare much at it to notice that the two amounts differ. Obviously, @DA wants to prove somehow that 1 equals 2 and that (mgh1 ? (Ma ? Mb)) equals (mgh1 + mgh2 + Kc) but it doesn?t. Therefore, @DA should follow his own advice to know better than that and not foist on us flawed ?proofs?. Once he succeeds he would inevitably recognize that SMOT violates CoE because CoE doesn?t allow such discrepancy between input and lost energy as seen in SMOT.

Ok, Omnibus.  After examining your "proof", it is just my opinion that it is worthless.  Just my opinion, no offense intended.  I had hoped you proof was more rigorous.  While I see no way to make it valid, perhaps you will be able to someday. 

To reply to your last line, "You have no idea, what I intend."

I'll end this with one of my favorite Omnibus quotes, I think everyone should copy this down and show it to their science/physics teachers.  Think about what Omnibus said here:

"You're wrong. It has never been nor it will ever be that theory would precede experiment. Absolutely not. You're quite confused about that."
