Trying to educate people
Why do you spend so much time talking to us silly people?
Trying to get you to stop and think for yourself, instead of you believing every snake oil salesman that comes along.
It kinda describes how you and your buddies know stuff, without having all the info.
What info do you think we do not have?edit on 23-7-2013 by hellobruce because: (no reason given)

So you already had the estimated time frame for completion?
Seems like he got that at least.
Look at official photo No. 40 in your OP link (currently the last one but they may add more photos).

I noticed you said in one of your posts that the engine looked completed. Could you provide a picture please?

Maybe we get a pleasant surprise and this breaks the known laws of physics somehow, and nobody can say it's impossible I guess, but I think it is possible to say we're 99.9999% sure it won't work, if you want to leave some infinitesimally small shred of doubt for the unexpected.
It's entirely possible someone will invent some kind of device using technology unknown to us now. However when that happens, I suspect it will be apparent that the technology is a new technology.

One thing to bear in mind though. We don't fully understand gravity. Sure we can do calculations and make predictions, but its possible there's more to it than we've found, and that means there's always the chance that one day, one of these engines might work.

Think of a pendulum on a grandfather clock...when the pendulum is static, it takes a relatively large amount of energy to make it start to oscillate compared to the much less energy required to keep a pendulum oscillating once it is in motion...another example is duty cycles applied to circuits.
Now think of putting resistance/drag on the pendulum to create power and see how quickly it stops. Fundamentals of physics here... Grade 8 stuff.
Yep! Its such a shame that NOBODY in this thread knows what they are talking about, and that includes you.
None of us have the blueprints for this project, all we have are a few photo's of an incomplete project.
Some of us have been having a guess at what MIGHT be going on with this device, and all we receive is what amounts to ridicule.
Well done.

Yes, I am an Engineer - You can believe it or not, doesn't bother me I still get paid at the end of the month.
As for the lack of complete pictures or blueprints - surely this should raise alarm bells? Many of the other free energy devices that have been touted (and subsequently shown to be false) did at least put designs up for people to see....

Not only will not work but cannot work within the physical world as we know it. Space warp and transporter beams may work when this contraption does.

Apples meet oranges.
Your example really doesn't change anything. Gravity is not acting different in any way. The tidal friction from the Earth and Moon cause tides, and perhaps it's invisible to the average human mind, but very very precise readings would show the Earth slowing down as a result from the friction.
So yes, harvest the hell out of rotational energy and eventually the Earth would stop.
I'm not saying this is going to happen, or we are doing it, I'm just pointing out how the system works.
And in any case, this "gravity engine" is not that is it?
The funny thing, is where gravity plays any part in energy production, it can be explained. However, all the answers mysteriously seem to elude the masterful inventors creating expensive "gravity engines" which are not so mysteriously ever proven to work.edit on 20-7-2013 by boncho because: (no reason given)
