If you think your little blast does anything but show how stupid you are, then trying to impress me with your globe trotting sue-a-bunker, think again. I am refraining here.
If you can't take the heat whens someone comes on the forums and tells us his wheel turned on its own but who had obviously faked the first two videos, then maybe you need to get your head checked. Hint: It's called insanity.
@all
Thanks to those that have provided some constructive comments. Of course, it is always better to have more heads on this then only one. Taking your comments, I did some more digging and here is what I found.
First of all the wiring diagram I showed in the previous post was to show you how Romero connected his device in Video 3 from what we could see up till now. This diagram would fall in perfectly if he used the DC converter to hide a battery. But one member indicated he did not need to hide it there since there are other places that are hidden from view that he could have used. So taking that as the base idea, I just followed the Wire Xs and as I did in Video 1 and 2, this is what I found.
If you want to know the video time of the frame, just divide the frame number by 30 to get your seconds.
The first image (video3-resistor2.jpg) shows the Red Wire X actually is gong behind the rear drive circuit AND STOPS THERE. I had shown this before continuing further but @ponyt99 was good enough to point out (no pun intended) that they were wires on the floor. The Black Wire X is also going there as shown in my previous post. Historically, Romeros' pattern has been very obvious in that anywhere the Wire Xs go, there is a battery to which they are connected. It would be very easy for Romero to place a 9 vdc or other battery hidden behind the circuit board. You will not see it and thereafter think the device is running on its own. So showing any attempt or discrepancy, given his past actions in Video 1 and 2 that were obvious attempts to fool the viewer and any possible discrepancy in Video 3 means what? That Romero is again up to his old antics. Let's call a spade a spade so the tolerance level here for any funny games should be zero.
Given @WW's concern (Reply #683) that the resistors could be non-coded, the second image (video3-resistor3.jpg) is of the front drive circuit where you can clearly see from this new angle that is not blocked by the red wire, that there is no resistor. Only the fresh and shiny solder points. Actually when I grabbed this image I realized something. This drive coil circuit may not even be working since he never re-connected those two points once he removed the resistors. So it is possible that in Video 3 the rotor wheel only turned with the rear drive coil set. This would be a good tactic to reduce battery consumption if the wheel can turn with only one drive coil pair and maintain a respectable rpm at no load during this less then two minute Video 3.
The third image (video3-resistor4.jpg) is of the back drive circuit where you can see there is no resistor but this time he filled in the open space to connect the two points with a solder weld. That to keep the rear drive circuit on.
But how can one show there is something behind the rear drive circuit when Romero never turned the device around to the other side for us to see. This was why he challenged me to find an outside wire. There were none because he hid his battery behind the circuit. So how to show this? Think. Think. OK.
The fourth image (video3-resistor5.jpg) is of the front drive circuit to show how light passes through all the board holes anywhere there is no component. Notice that the light can pass through even though the background of that image is of the wheel and not a nice white background. This gives you a good idea on what is being blocked from the front and from the back. So how could this help. Well compare it to the rear drive circuit where Romero sent his Wire Xs.
The fifth image (video3-resistor6.jpg) there is no great shot any better then this frame 2522 or at 1 minute and 24 seconds in the standard Video 3. It says it all. No coincidence could explain this discrepancy any other way then by saying "there is something behind the rear circuit board, were by chance my Wire Xs are just hanging around acting dumb and all". And he would continue to say "Oh, by the way, out of the 4 threaded legs I could have chosen to hold in my hand to do the video, I picked the one that kept the rear drive circuit out of view but it was all just by chance and purely unintentional".
Y'a, sure, sure, sure.
Given that the combined number of discrepancies and taking into account all the evidence of Video 1 and 2 all converging around this Video 3, I can only conclude that Romero tricked Video 3 as prescribed here-in. His Wire Xs go behind the rear drive circuit where he has hidden a battery. Some will ask for proof. You don't need any more then what is shown here to understand that Video 3 is a fake. Sooooooooooooooo............when Romero said it was fake, it was fake. When he said build at your risk, build at your risk. When he said he lost his wheel while playing the violin, he still has it and is always playing with it to try and make it work. When he said some bad guys ruffed him up, he broke a toe nail. When he said he will not talk about it anymore, he will not talk about it anymore (except on his web forum). When he says he is now looking for newer ways to make OU, there is no newer way when your first way was faked. There is only your first way just like everyone else here. So I invite Romero to just come clean because the cat is now out of the bag. Then we will talk as equals, and not him pretending he already made an OU device. What a farce this whole thing turns out to be. Just come clean and do it now to not waste anymore time.
CASE CLOSED @GK
I can now start my next build. Something to show noding around. That's noding, not nosing around. Had enough of that for a good while. Man oh man.
