Popular Post Pneumo 4,233 Posted May 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2020 2 hours ago, Stephen Winterburn said: Hi everyone My name is Stephen Winterburn and I've just remembered how difficult it is to do these kind of things. I'm a 61 year old electrical engineer from Leeds in Yorkshire, England. I discovered Clif in 2017 and bought his web bot report to study although I must admit I found it a difficult read at the time something made me stick with it and through watching Clif's videos on YouTube I began to understand some of his work and appreciate it. Discovered this forum when looking for Clifs videos when a link wouldn't work which I think was YouTube taking down his work( cencering). Thanks to anyone who reads I'll be visiting as and when I can at the moment I have lots of time to fill. Hello Stephen To echo jd, welcome. Hope you'll stick around and get involved with the discussion on the private side. Nice bunch of folk here....except for the Californians, of course. And the Illinoisians, the Texans, Michigonians, Carolians (North and South), Mississippianos, etc, etc, In fact, there's too many bloody Yanks here. We need more poms.We are only a handful and one currently in London is definitely mad. There's a really nice member living with the howler monkeys in central America, a philosopher in the Land of The Rising Sun, a couple of loopy Aussies and one incredibly handsome, smart bloke on the southern tip of Africa. justamom, Sunnybug, DaddyBob and 7 others 3 6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tonyk77 1,103 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Welcome Stephen, This group is a real mix of many people with many different opinions. We don't agree on many issues, but the discussion always gets me thinking. Watch out for the South African guy. His sense of humor might cause you to spray your keyboard with your tea, coffee or tequila on occasions. mkb, DDMc, Sunnybug and 5 others 6 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

While not much to look at @Pneumo has a magnetic personality. Hey Mr P, did you need me to supply magnets or do you have some?

I can tell where the box is by space warping around the field. I must remember to take off my stainless wedding ring before reaching for the box or I get in a sticky situation.

Dielectric 3 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Greetings old time webbot fans. I wanted to come back to see what's survived and whose left standing. Long time ago I used to follow Clif and get his reports. I see a lot of the old linguistics in action. Got to feel my way around a bit and hope to see the inside discussions after a brief time. Hopefully there's more than a handful of you left. tonyk77 and Sunnybug 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaddyBob 6,912 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I can recall the e-handle but that's about all. Get 'em to let you in the private side. There's considerable more going on ever since the Wu-flu hit. Clif got the timing wrong for TEOTWAWKI but my own pet theory is that Universe provided a stumbling block in the form of The Blue Chicken Cult, because Clif was getting too much right, as is being seen now. Then Clif became Chicken Little himself over the Wu-flu, going nuts for wearing masks IMHO. But one thing it ain't is boring.

Currently I am rereading "This Changing World: Temporal Markers for 2013". I have on my desk currently Collected Curious Crypto - Paruski, Hunting Trains , Sparks, Soaring Twenties, Jump Out, Intrepido and Crypto Storm. Thank you for sharing ideas for all these years.

Pneumo 4,233 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Just a quick post to say that I'm looking forward to seeing my friend DK hereabouts in the near future. If I'm not around when he pops in, please make sure that you abuse him in a truly spectacular way. Bloody S'Africans...

Hang In 10 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Hi my name is Ian, I am new to this forum but not new to Clif's ALTA reports, interesting and valuable stuff. Is there an area here about magnets, Roger Boscovich? If so, can someone, anyone please point me in the right direction to get there? I have ordered some neodymium magnets (hope they don't get caught up in the postal handling equipment - that happened to me once) and I am about to start my quest to find PDF's containing writings of Boscovich. On subject of the covid, I'm in a pretty bad demographic - male, over 60, type 2 diabetic. Trying to improve my odds by supplementing with vitamins C and D, chaga mushroom, advising friends and family to do the same. Gotta keep it at bay while I work out how to make an engine for flying RV's. DDMc, Pneumo, justamom and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdurand 9,028 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 @Pneumo magnets mentioned! Also, I made up a big pile of custom machined brackets for one of Clif's experiments. Haven't seen any mention of him building it yet. Pneumo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reproducing ? No. I'm going in my own direction, though clif and I have been discussing magnetic field for some five years now. A different, current application. Some couple of years behind you in age, thankfully 100% healthy, but hope you might sign up for a bit of discussion. Folks hereabouts are interesting. Cheers. Pneumo.

Hang In 10 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Thanks for the welcome. I got some magnets, 15mm diameter by 15mm long cylindrical shape, quite strong. Was playing around with configurations and thought "I must be able to squeeze one more in there, it should be stable..." And I was right. I could, and it seemed stable. But then I was fiddling with the combination, suddenly the magnets snapped back to their preferred arrangement, and one magnet shattered, so now I have one less workable magnet. Two observations from this - 1, Clif is right, they're dangerous things to handle, and 2, I see rather oddly that when you break a magnet, the parts do not want to go back together, they repel each other. Scary thing is, I have some 40mm by 20mm cylindrical magnets on order. Imagine the trouble I can get into with them! Stay safe, Ian DDMc and Pneumo 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdurand 9,028 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 It's an interesting thing to get a whole box of strong magnets like @Pneumo and I have done for his devices. At least they store them stacked to they attract each other. Reduces the outside field so it doesn't stick to the inside of the delivery truck and also means they won't try to explode back to their preferred condition. Watch out for stainless steel wedding bands, they're attracted to magnets. If I hold a magnet in my palm I can click my ring to my wife's and she's captured.

Stay safe, Ian Picked up a whole bunch of different size magnets in town yesterday. Magnet crew are ready for a revolution. Every day, I agitate, Viva la revolucion ! 160 units. I am a wealthy magnet Zulu. Not cows, magnets. Tried to make a Halbech array in the shop, but didn't work. We are the Boscovitch Social Club.
