Congratulations, you've justed graduated into a school of higher thought--
you've actually used your brain for something other than a battering
ram or an overpriced calculator. :) One would think that this would be
common sense (the fact that there are no perfectly rigid materials and
thus harmonics and other factors would augment the forces involved in this
machine) - but I guess not. Well, nobody said EVERYONE can be
intelligent... but anyway, moving right along...

So then taking these factors into account it becomes obvious that a
properly arranged mechanism can yield a SURPLUS of charge due to the above
factors listed. See, we're all not crazy - nor are we chasing a dream -
it's just the rest of the world has their heads buried in the sand.
> AS MY OLD CALC PROF SAID "VERY INTERESTING BUT IT IS ALL CRAP"
Tell your old calc professor that he's an idiot. :) (Seriously, anyone who
can sum that up as "... but it is all crap" is ignorant - when all the
facts are laid upon the table it becomes clear that the possibility exists
and the fact he would discount it just reaffirms the perceived bias from
all academic-types in general -- they dont like people rocking the boat.)

Nope, the water is clear -- but I wouldn't drink it yet. <g>
