Re: Egyptian Fulcrum Uncovered

To show principle WITHOUT counterweight.
No control rods (at least not extending out as far as PureP's.
Can you post your proof again without the control arms?
By extending less than 1/2 the weight used, I can get it to balance.
Sorry, I don't have a gram scale so I cannot show how much each magnet weighs and have to trust manufacturer uniformity standard that they are approximately the same weight.

PLease show in a video comparison how Archers video has a control arm extending anywhere near the length of yours.
There would be more to this but it was the end of the disc and I have to format it again to shoot more.
Rebuttal PureP?

is that a joke?

or have you just discovered the laws of levers?

[exxcomm0n]

It was a demonstration to prove the difference of how weight is applied to a lever and that there are different readings when the weight is used as a lever extension. ;)

Interesting. But what do magnets have to do with it? All I see is an extention of the levers length.

[lefinlan]

this demonstrates that the distribution of the weight is important as the gravity of a larget area is greater...

thank you for getting that point across
