So he pretty much proved ddwfttw with the circular design.

No way! This kind of independent unusual obvious demonstration of the principle with a completely   'un-relateable' to an ordinary treadmill dynamic demonstration of predictable physics, is likely to portray the veracity of the conventional theory of ddwfttw. Therefore not allowed by Heinzphyzic....

And the circular wind tunnel

Nice, maybe would work a bit better with a few more vanes.

"Thing is many people (including myself) were sceptical of the road and treadmill tests. Others were also sceptical of the turntable tests. So far tere hasn't been one person (that I'm aware of) that has been sceptical of the circular wind tunnel tests. Have all the sceptics given up or do they all now accept DDFWTTW is possible? Perhaps they just need time to formulate new arguments against a new test."

My memory is still working.  Ynot was skeptical, but after he built and tested the idea he realized it does, of course, work.

He did a lot of work on this concept.  Like spork and JB, I respect anyone who gets off their ass and gets shit done

Just finished reading ynot's thread at JREF-now ISF-and it brought back a lot of memories. Thanks again to Heinz for providing his name. For any wanting to take a 10 page trip back down memory lane here's a link to it; http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=130705 It reminded me how much I miss Mender, Michael C, and many others who have moved on. It's been a hell of a ride.

I've received many of the parts and supplies for the build, except for two rather essential items; the 3" main wheels and the slow flight prop.

I received a refund on my PayPal account recently, so it's not on back order.

Any help in locating suppliers for these two remaining items would be helpful of course.

Have you tried 'Hobby Town' and 'Pegasus Hobbies?' The wheels shouldn't be hard to find. 

If needed, Tom should be able to make his own wheels from some sheet material...aluminum, fiberglass, plastic.  Best if he has access to a small lathe to turn the OD of the wheels after roughing them out with a bandsaw or jigsaw.

Ok, no-one bought my Fluidized Bed theory of how ddwfttw really works. But now a new method has been leaked;

Clearly a nice way to do it, and broadly vindicates the Hs vibration theory.

I'm down in Barbados.  One of the really well preserved Concordes is here.  They had regularly scheduled flights from the UK to Barbados and everyone here loved it (noise and all).

It reminded me of the fun we had with Heinz with the issue about losing and gaining weight in an airplane traveling at Mach 2-3.

Nice exhibition.

Also had another great "Windgrins experience" on a 62' chartered cat.  The captain let me drive for about an hour while in a psuedo race with other boats

Meanwhile, the stock market seems to be able to get along just fine without me!

Life is good.

I was wondering why I had to play the stereo really loud to make the cart work at all on the TM!

Hope Tom is still working on his cart. Been a while since we've heard from him. 

I'm back in the US!  Things have changed since I left.  It seems we have the Russians helping us out with elections now!

And in spite of that, One can still go DDWFTTW!

Are you kidding me! March 2018 and still no action by Harold, Humber, or anyone in rescinding records, forcing retractions and public apologies, etc. No prosecutions of any type. Were they wrong?

We will never know.

The new Spork.

I want several already.  I hate the scraping.  And a spork is about useless for eating yogurt.
