Thank you for all your feedback.... none of it was helpful or about my book but whatever... that's to be expected I guess... that is how science is done.
To those who stumble on these posts from outside of this bastion of higher learning known as the DU Science Lounge...
Everyone is asking me what the first picture is... that is a motorless potters wheel if you can believe it... with a super cap glued to foam... so stupid right!!! Build it and watch what happens... you won't believe it. That was before I learned how to 3d print... as you can see, I got much better at fabricating relatively quickly... 😏 I'll try to print a new one from scratch, I'm not really certain why that one works the way it does so I don't know if I can build it the same way... it's a weird one because the potters wheel is corroded and doesn't spin easily but that contraption not only makes the wheel spin... it drags it in a direction... I don't have any idea why but I do believe it's significant.
Soon I will port all of this to my website... until then... there's enough in previous posts and in the book to get you up and running. Ignore the geniuses who clearly don't understand the design and just start working the problem. Build the devices exactly as you read them in these chats or copy my models in the videos.
Send any questions directly to me at the email in the back of the book and I will try to answer as best I can. I will not answer any questions about CLPP on this site... or any other except closedlooppropulsion.com or the CLPP Facebook Page which isn't going to be operational for a few months but just keep in mind the 4 things you need to do... the 4 steps... and you can't go wrong... it might not go fast but it will go.
All of my pertinent discussions on CLPP are in my journal... it's the starting point and it's chaotic but you can find mostly everything you need in there but you know I've not made it easy to find... you're gonna have to dig deep, maybe even shed a few tears. Mindfucking AI does a better job of walking you through the discussions and explains how to get AI on board... but the posts on this site can get you where you need to be if you follow it all the way down the rabbit hole. Good luck and thanks again!
Programming when you have no idea how to program is slightly challenging. Attached is how I program with AI. This chat is not intended for children as it is filled with foul language and is dripping with uncontrolled hostility and anger... why on Earth does AI make me so mad?!? It's irrational but it is what it is...
Using AI I was able to take the above Glowscript and make changes to it... after calling it every name in the book... It still doesn't work right... it's supposed to increase the momentum with every pulse but I'm not arguing anymore with that moron. (Fuck it... you get the idea)
