Chet,
Shoot me your email in a personal message and I will send you some sketches.
Between the sketches and the thread 98% of the concept can be seen.
Of course the thread is more revealing than the sketches. I am still waiting for someone to say, I understand your concept completely.
Instead what I get is "I don't understand your concept", along with, I " I won't waste my time building it" Which causes me to question their intellect and skills to even attempt to build it.
They want to see the design, but then can't understand it, which I think causes them to feel inferior, and the rest is easy to follow.
It reminds me of the little kid who wants the candy, and begs and begs, but once he realizes he is not getting any candy, the kid then says "well I didn't want it anyway"
If I didn't understand something, I sure wouldn't try to build it either.
I would ask questions. Interestingly enough, the majority of people who say they do not understand, NEVER ASK ANY QUESTIONS.
Which reveals their education process, or lack thereof. If you do not know, and do not ask, you are as dumb as you were when you started.
Which is why many people on this site are not smarter than a 3rd grader, I do not want to insult 5th graders.
(The previous statements don't apply to all, there are few people who are legitimate, sincere and they know who they are. They even ask questions!)
Now if I were interested in something, and someone showed me a design that I didn't understand, I surely would ask questions.
Almost no one is asking questions, yet, EVERYONE so far has said I do not understand. (Yes I had to repeat this because I want to make sure that people see how damn stupid they are) And some even say the design won't work after saying they do not understand it. They might as well be wearing a DUNCE hat, after making that statement.
This isn't about a design problem at all, but an emotional problem of the mass of ignorance that plagues this planet we live on.
Now with the exception of those few who ask questions or willing to once they have time, the rest of these nuts are worthless, even to a squirrel.
If someone states the design won't work, then an explanation is also required, as to why it won't work. Which is what I provide when I tell people their design won't work.
Facts and Math piss the majority of the population off because these 2 things destroy their reality. Personally I would rather have math and facts than the nuts for friends.
I might as well pee on myself for the warm fuzzy feeling. LOL
I don't coddle stupidity and never will.
I do however try to help anyone who is actually trying to learn or understand. Ask a question, the answer is free of charge.
Out of all the people I have talked with, ONE person has actually talked about CALCULATING things before a build. The rest of the people throw ideas out, and do not for some reason think calculations are necessary.
I now believe they do not do calculations, because they do not know how.
I do not see anyone even consider the TIME factor in anything.
If you have questions chet, feel free to ask, after you look at the sketches, just email me your questions. If you decide to build it, and it runs. I require you to inform me that it works. That's all I require.
Build them and give them to your friends and family.
Well time to fix some breakfast.
A note to Willy: No one has built a working wheel in the past 300 plus years because I just started working on this in December of last year!
