3Dmagnetics
The latest "bedini guy" is a perfect example of this as he reminds me of my self , his construction is beautiful and his theory is for the most part correct. His mistake is to use new batteries. This is good in away because he will not see the success that I had ,so it will hopefully reach its conclusion in the shorter term, all the same there is a lot of mass and many things to go wrong, least of all the noisy bearings. etc etc etc which keeps the game going for all.
Fair enough, however I took a different approach.
As you implied, most replicators are simply trying to replicate a given device and not really understand it so much. The "getter done and see what happens" approach 99% of people use. However I noticed almost all replications are not real replications and deviate from the spirit, layout and process of the original device. In effect, they have set themselves up for failure from the start.
It's kind of strange imo. Let's recap, so you "built a device", and it didn't work, what's the next step?. For most there is no next step and they automatically apply the crab mentality where individuals try to prevent others from succeeding out of envy or insecurity, believing that if they can't achieve something, neither should anyone else.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_mentalityHowever understanding psychology ergo myself I chose to move in the opposite direction.
After building countless devices and failing it always comes down to two choices imo. We can delude ourselves and pretend it cannot be done or acknowledge the fact our knowledge base and perspective is outdated or flawed, ergo it's not them it's me. This was my turning point and the moment I truly acknowledged the fact I didn't know what I was doing everything changed.
In fact, it was Viktor Schauberger who gave me my new direction. When Viktor was asked how it should be done his response was, "Exactly in the opposite way that it is done today!". At which point the way forward is obvious, stop trying to blindly follow others.
Here is the methodology...
1)pick any process, device or technology.
2)research how the concept works and the supposed end result.
3)now try to reproduce the same result but you cannot use any conventional thinking or method to achieve it.
4)it must be new and unique or you go back to #2.
You see, #3 is where literally everyone fails. They can only repeat what others have told them or their mind goes blank.
Here is a clue,
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/be-the-best-learner-you-can-be/202402/how-do-people-learn"When you learn something, there is a change. Change may be the central idea of learning, for what is learning if not a change in what we know or do?"
In effect, people want change as new technology but are not willing to change themselves or learn something new to get it. They want change without any change which is a direct contradiction. Then after their refusal to change or learn they blame others ie. the crab mentality.
