(my Mod hat is off)



This will be my last public posting on this issue, but you've made public comments regarding my Phase I observations and so will I:



I find your assessment a bit perplexing since you had been away for so long and had no commentary during my experiment as it was being conducted...only well after the fact and it was very subjective/declarative. I accept specific quantifiable critique, not "generalized". This, of course, is a big problem on other forums and not usually here.



"That's why you resorted to a statistical analysis."



This is another problem...I did not seek/resort to Glenn's assistance. He volunteered it when other's like yourself fell silent. In fact, several others helped when I was struggling with the Laser-spot analysis. Other people here stepped up THEN, not weeks later with hindsight commentary.



So, to summarize, I do not agree with your belated assessment, mainly because you have no specific critique, but generalized statements such as "there are times at which the magnetron is turned on and there is no such reaction force". What about the majority of the time when something was noted?



Glenn has the statistical analysis which I don't believe you can dismiss off hand. Rather than take up bandwidth here, please PM him to sort things out. I only ask one thing:



Whether accidently or by intent, you have given people the impression that my Phase I observational tests were null. I do not agree with that, both from what I personally witnessed with my own eyes (ala Shell) and more importantly, what Glenn relayed to me thru statistical analysis. Check out my FT2B video where the "aha" moment was and compare that to FT1, FT2 and FT2A where there was none.



Look, if we don't have the computing power to do your fluid dynamics analysis...so be it, don't even bring it up. I happen to believe that lift can be predicted and accounted for statistically and there is no phantom downwards "turbulence" that must be accounted for. Did I have an ideal experiment? No. Did I do things simply and within a small budget? Yes.



Got that off my chest, now back to mod-mode.
