Fighter,

I just wanted to thank you for building this site.  It's quite responsive and easy to relay information.  The last forum software I used extensively was Wedge, but I must say I like what you have here better.

I don't know what all dragons in the world you are out there slaying, but I appreciate you doing it and respect your time.

In my own time I have been scouring everything I can find here concerning the ZPM.  I'd like to build one, if I already have the necessary components.  I have an extensive "epic fail pile" I can source from.  Lots of cores, mag wire, driver boards, power supplies, chokes, caps and such.  Simply put my days are numbered.  Physically I'm pretty scewed up, so any effort I put into this I'd like to see it go where it can do the most good.  If you have any advice I would be most appreciative.

Just for the record, I do peruse OU.com from time to time just to see what some of my old contacts are up to.  I'm not one of those naysayers.  I like seeing people come up with an idea and make it work on the bench.  Anyone that is willing to do this I support.  There's not many of us left and for the ones that are still here it really bothers me when they head down a known dead-end trail.  I get the most enjoyment from the youngsters that are eager to bite into something.  The guys that have no comprehension of "It can't be done." just need to be pointed in the right direction and they'll somehow make it work.  I get more excited from their progress than they do sometimes.

If you have some sort of mission statement, I'd like to get onboard and push in the direction you want to go.  I think it will be worth my time however many days that is.

 

Thanks again,

Hi Munny,

Thank you for your kind words, the site was made in a joint effort by me and Cd_Sharp.

We tried to make it familiar (as interface) to our members, many of them former members of the old aboveunity site.

So we chosen the same open-source platform like the old site is using (MVC Forum) but we impoved platform's code in terms of performance and made the interface more alive / interactive. Also we implemented new features which are not present on the old site.

We needed to create a modern platform for our core team of former aboveunity researchers so they have all the necessary features to easily present their experiments and share data within the team.

It took about a month of development, a short time but it wasn't a problem because me and Cd_Sharp we both are doing things like this in our daily jobs, we're software developers.

So yes, it was a lot of work but I think the result is pretty good, we're happy with the result. There are still some minor interface issues which still need to be addressed but they are not affecting the site functionality so we'll resolve them in time.

I think I was wrong about you, your name sound familiar so I thought you're one of those members from overunity site which are permanently making everything possible to place the "measurement errors" label on every device they can and tear down everyone coming public with something new on their site for 10-15 years. So my apologies for my mistake.

I simply don't understand those guys, they get involved in a domain which they don't believe in, they start from the beginning with the assumption that these devices don't work and they do everything they can to make that assumption look real. Disinformation and research blocking, that's what they do. They all pretend to be "experts" but they never made a successful replication of anything in 10-15 years and they do it on purpose. It's just my opinion based on what I saw there during the years when I checked that site sometimes, maybe a few times per year...

I'm sorry to hear about your health issues, people like you are needed no matter of their age as long as they have a open mind and curiosity. I'm not here to give directions to anyone, just like everyone here I'm still learning and I know we're in an uncharted territory where there are so much things we still don't know and we need to discover. As you can see here we're going to many directions trying to learn as much as we can from experiments.

My suggestion would be to chose one of the projects our members are working on, one you want to experiment with and just follow your intuition during the experiments. Or, why not, if you have an idea about a different device you want to experiment with, feel free to create your own thread where you can share the things you find, any anomalies and to receive opinions or ideas from out mermbers.

Any contribution in this research is welcome and all of the experiments are equally important because from any experiment something important can be discovered helping anyone to advance with other experiments.

You're welcome here, feel free to collaborate with the other researchers of our team.

Regards,

Fighter

Software development aay?  My old fallback.  Yes I did that for a living.  Finished my career at a Fortune 500 enterprise data center--the suits just were not making any sense anymore.  They would tell us build everything top notch with all the best materials and then kick us in the guts saying they would close the facility down in five years.  I'm sure they had their own agenda.  I didn't need the constant mind screw anymore, so I put in my retirement paperwork and walked.

I was always interested in electronics from the time my Pa bought me a Radio Shack electronics kit for my tenth birthday.  I always had a feeling there was more to things than I was being told.  Until I got much older I spent way too much time doing what I was told instead of doing what I wanted.  It was the Global BEM Conference in 2013 where I finally decided to take things seriously.  I went down a lot of rabbit holes, but managed to always find my way back up and I collected quite a few novel ideas along the way.  Even with fake videos, some of the concepts kept me intrigued.  I found myself administering an open source energy forum that petered out due to the owners lack of interest in it.  I saw a lot and I built many experiments.  I still think if we get in the proper frame of mind what we are trying to do will be so obvious a child could do it.  We overthink so much because we've been fed a diet of useless noise.  It's hard to purge things from your mind you don't need while retaining stuff you do need.

Speaking of software, the tools we have these days, they really have the ability to get the creative juices flowing.  I bumped into this a while ago and it got me visuallizing how a wave front likely behaves in a transmission line:

https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/collision-lab/latest/collision-lab_en.html

Try the Explore 1D lab and think of the objects as energy wave fronts.  Play around adjusting the variables and see if you can create a pumping action from one side to the other.  Adjust the elasticity to mimic impedance mismatches at the borders.  This is just one example I found, there are probably others out there that are more suitable for what we are trying to do.  It would be nice to write some code that shows us exactly what is happening and how to build and tune real hardware.  I hope someday we understand things well enough that is possible.  Nature can be pretty tricky until you begin to think like it does.
