Hi! Ken: While is was attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University at
Daytona
Beach FL. we had professors from the Cape show us mathematically that
the
Allomyrhino Dichotoma, Giant Japanese Rhino Beetle absolutely could not
possibly
fly for it's body mass vs wing area was so far out of proportion it was
ridiculous.
Someone forgot to tell the beetle that flight was futile. So it goes
with math when
trying to explain anomalies in nature. Since you love to apply math to
our conver-
sations, solve this for Garry and me. Given: a drum (right
cylindrical section) 60
inches in diameter, 6 inches tall with a coaxial shaft, spinning in a
horizontal plane
of rotation at 1800 RPM. Inside this spinning drum we have a vertical
wall of
water 6 inches thick being maintained in this configuration by
centrifugal force
(artificial gravity of this system). Now please calculate the water
pressure in
PSI against the outer wall of this spinning drum. Thanks in advance for
your
help with this design. We all should have fun while trying to validate
the Clem.
Norm PS: I too completed my BS but have opened my mind to
other
possibilities and explanations, the reason for looking into this
free-energy field.

Hi!Ken:  Maybe I have a different physics book than the one you are using.
Centripetal force = mass x velocity squared / radius  F=mv2/r Now go back and calculate the water pressure at the exit nozzle based onthe volume of water in the
arm.  In a Clem conical drum which is composed of many Phi ratiospiral tubes
there is considerable reactive thrust from the nozzles which drivethe rotation of
the unit while the centrifugal force is drawing the water into thehub.
This thrust was taken into account.. the mass flowrate along with the number ofexit nozzles.
Yourlawn
sprinkler depends on the city water pressure of 60 PSI or more to providethe
driving force to turn the head array.  In an artificial gravityset up such as the
Clem engine the radius of the unit is critical as is RPM to achievethe necessary
pressures needed to drive the assembly beyond the point of frictionallosses
in the distribution tubes.
The lawn sprinkler was only an example as NO pressurewas specified.  Itcould easily take in 2000 psi or whateverpressures you so desire.  However,as the pressures go up.. so doesthe frictional losses and heating effects.  Thisalso means that efficiencygoes down.. as energy is lost.  Efficiency does notgot up.... andthere is no point that I know of.. in physics... where one canovercomethis frictional loss.. especially at higher velocities and pressures.Pleasegive an example where this is so.. or equations that tell me.. you canovercomefrictional losses.
Thereason that the distribution tubes are based on a Phi
ratio is to provide a practically free fall flow through the tubesas envisioned by
Schauberger in his device. I believe, as does Jerry that there arethermal factors
and viscosity variations in the oil that are lurking here also. Theseare the factors
that we don't have a firm handle on until a unit is built and run. Norm

 Justhad to do this.. it's been bugging me as to how this exit forcefrom a centrfugalnozzle head could produce overunity.  So here issome math (sorry Engineerhere) that will explain what a Normal"sprinker head" would achievein power.  Forgot you said this.. butthe raduis squared does comeinto play.. however.. still do notsee where the "kick over" occurs forover unity. OK.. make believe we have a sprinkler(twisted L shaped on eachside) which is feed water in the center of it. THis sprinker is turningat a velocity of "w" and the length of the arms(in the L forms) are"L".  The exit velocity realitve to the nozzlesare "Ve" for exit velocity,and the area of the exit nozzle is "A". I think that now covers it.Assumptions have to be made now.. and we conciderthat laminerflow is occuring and no resistance is taken in to account (frictionorheating).  What we want to find is the power produced from thissprinkler. So..the moment around the z-axis.. will be the summationsof all (r xV)*p*V*A..  Opps now "r" is radius, and "p" is density ofwater.  p*V*Ais called the mass efflus of the nozzle.. or lets say "m"for now. The moment going into the hub.. enterance of water... iszero cause theradius "r" is zero.  Thus the equation reduces to onlyone sum.. or(r x V)*m.  Now we have to take into account for therotational velocityand the velocity of the zozzle exit jet... in to thenormal atmosphere. Now we can subsitute r X V = -r*(Ve - w*r).Thus the moment applied to thesystem by the generator wouldbe -r*(Ve - W*r)*m.   BUT the momentapplied to the generator is thenegative of the moment of the generatoron the arms.  So the equationbecomes positive... no biggy!The power now is simple...one we have the moment.. It isthe momenttime the rotational velocity.. (M = moment) or M*w = P for Power! For all who would like the in to one equation... here...P = (w*r*Ve - w*w*r*r)*m ENSURE.. that propermks units are used for example ... RPM hasto be changed to RPS.. etc etc..and don;t forget 2*pi for rotationalvelocity! v/rKen Carrigan PS.. NOW... WHERE IS THE OVERUNITY!!!Helpme understand...
