about Dr. Aspdens' experiment which I loosely described. He and others
examined this in detail and are of the opinion that something is
happening since it was brought almost to a dead stop. I don't know what
the actual rpm was but he is online to ask.
IMHO, I think before attempting to apply any formula, I would have asked
for more specific information before dismissing such a claim out of hand.
After all, without numbers to plug in, the formula really doesn't apply
to anything said, because there was insufficient information provided in
the first place.
I think I will email Dr. Aspden and ask him specifically for;
the weight of the mass being spun
the max rpm
how long it took to accelerate from a dead stop to the max rpm
how much energy in watts it took to achieve the max rpm
how much energy in watts it took to sustain the max rpm
what was the lowest rpm it was brought to before resuming
how much energy in watts this lowest rpm required to sustain it
how long did it take to accelerate from this lowest rpm to max rpm
Only with such information can any formula being applied, thus allowing
an informed statement as to the experiment validity. Interesting how
this points out some of our OWN problems in alt science;
1) first - a failure to PROVIDE or GATHER all the information
necessary in the first place AND
2) second - a tendency to DISCOUNT a statement or BELIEVE it, without
requesting additional information.
I included it as a tie-in to the rest of the seepage theory (unproven)
which because it convinced Aspden and his assistants. I met Dr. Aspden
and hung out with him for a couple of days a few years back. He is
highly regarded in England and in the free energy circuit, being a
retired patent examiner who is very careful in his own claims and
statements.
With regard to making power measurements over time, I've seen a novel
method of measuring power used, simply hooking up a utility power meter
(as attaches to your house) which will show the amount of power used,
PERIOD, without regard to how much time it took. I always thought it
rather ingenious. Gotta get me one of those....
