Quoting: Anonymous Coward 60312518 Do you have any other animations for us to see that you didn't use in the video? Nice work btw! I have the 3d model of the craft, most of which I constructed. I also have a model of the inner core, which I've been musing about editing into the film. It is a particle simulation and because of the layered nature of the core it has been difficult to visualize in a way that satisfies me or Mark McCandlish. However, I'm going to crack it open and see what I can do. There is a lot of additional footage of Mark; Although Mark's public presentations are very sharp, focused and clear, in real life he's a real rambler! And a super-nice guy. But we had to edit a lot of his rambling because he'd go off on tangents or details which would be confusing to the uninitiated. Actually I just uploaded a preview shot of the central core operation: It's still processing on Vimeo, but here is the link - [link to vimeo.com (secure)] Page not found Sorry, there is no video here. Either it was deleted or it never existed in the first place. Such are the mysteries of the Internet. Video is there. I just downloaded it. |

ZP_Producer User ID: 31116586 United States 07/28/2014 11:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: ZP_Producer That is, according to a few people I've spoken with, possible. It would still require a lot of money and some very good engineers and physicists. If one would want to invest in such a project, what is the ammount of money you call a lot? I'd say a cool million for starter money. There are some very one-of-a-kind processes involved that you couldn't find off-the-shelf manufacturing tools for. I was at the Secret Space Program Conference, in San Mateo, and if you've ever been to Silicon Valley or SF, you can see the place is just full of money. A RANCH HOUSE goes for a million there! I'm sure there were thousands of people within a 30 mile radius that could drop a mil without second thought. I'd also probably invest heavily in security - because of...'Them'... If you had the opportunity to work on this project, would you do it? If such project would start, what would be the time span to achieve the goal? I have no idea. I'd leave that up to the experts I'd hire... ZP_Producer |

ZP_Producer User ID: 31116586 United States 07/28/2014 11:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Do you have any drawings or info on the current generation ships built off of this tech? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 60312518 No. Mark's experience was only that. He was pretty much blacklisted from the military-industrial-aerospace complex after word got out of his 'hobby'. However you should look up Michael Schratt. He is a dogged investigator and documentor of secret aerospace vehicles. ZP_Producer |
ZP_Producer User ID: 31116586 United States 07/28/2014 11:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ZP -- If you come back, I'd love to see the raw footage of his 'ramblings of details that nobody would understand.' and have the choice myself to determine if I couldn't understand. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 55534957 Thanks! Oh, you'd understand them! Mark tended to go off on details and sub-stories that would simply derail the flow of the narrative. No crazy ramblings, just the kind of detail that would confuse the layperson. If you've ever made a film or written a book you know what I mean: Editing! I'll dig through the footage but not soon - both James and I were there for most of the shooting, but about a quarter of it was just James. There could be some good stuff. I'll need to get Mark's approval before releasing that stuff. ZP_Producer |

I agree there is some mystery to this. To his credit (which can be seen as an opening for pot-shots by shills) he goes to the limit of what he learned but does not 'guess' much about what's going on in the craft. He's got a lot of integrity that way. One funny thing that I don't think got into the film: He said that once the thing is 'started', it runs of its own accord. And that initial 'zap' is minimal. It needs no further input. So how do they start it? A lawn-mower battery! ZP_Producer |

Is it possible that he started trying to make himself an 'engine' like this and ended up poisoning himself? (Lack of containment or some other silly thing?) Naah no way. James wasn't an engineer or builder in any sense of the word. He was living month-to-month making websites and doing a little freelance photography. He had so little spare cash that I underwrote most of the film's expenses. He was renting a room at the house of a prof at his school! But yes, the presence of Thorium in his system is mysteriously...poetic. As though a message was being sent, if you want to take it that way... ZP_Producer |

Even if you dismiss or are skeptical, you've all been pretty damn civil about it. You've helped light a fire under my ass to get this thing out there for distribution sooner! Just for some background, James' death cost me dearly both personally and financially. I'm out around 12k in end-of-life expenses, autopsy, legal. I'm also the executor of his estate. (TIP: NEVER agree to be an executor of an estate!) Additionally my dad died a few months before James, I'm still working on his estate across the country, and I have a FT job as a college prof. So it's been a hell of a year-plus, and it is easy to forget where the priorities should be. So thanks for not dissing on James, Mark or myself! There are another couple of threads going on at a site I Shall Not Name Because I Can't according to GLP rules (and I see why!) that I'm participating in and I'm finding the crowd to have numerous vulgar shills accusing James of being a drug addict, drunk, etc. I'm kind of stunned people would go out of their way to say such things without any basis.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 4419687 United States 07/28/2014 12:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Another question for the producer; what's in the goop it was painted with? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57697009 Mark said that his source(s) said it was a goopy, rather carelessly applied semi-metallic paint - I suspect like automotive paint from a can - in a dark, lead-like color. He ventures no further on speculation. Actually figured it out after reading TT Brown's work. I'm pretty sure the goop is a high K dielectric like Barium Zirconium Titanate held onto the fiberglass with paint. More I look at this the more it seems like this craft operates like a continually discharging capacitor. The spinning mercury tube up the middle creates countering gravity wells and hills based on polarity (hence the mercury spinning in opposite directions but together). Pretty slick. The low voltage version of this is what makes the B2 stable with the + and - ion field at the head and tail. I just started but this stuff is all really, really simple once you wrap your head around it. Never gonna do anything with it obviously because all it would take is one accidental gamma ray burst to end the party - or to be poisoned by tptb - but it's fun to ponder. Hopefully this won't get me in trouble either, but this seems to be the same gravitic principals that make Titor's machine work. Of all the various elements, this new field of science suddenly makes John Titor's claims absolutely real to me. Not only could that fuckin' thing could actually work, it could fit in the box as described. Fascinating. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 41471682 United States 07/28/2014 04:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think I might have a clue to how the self perpetual mercury generator works. Based on Viktor Schauberger work he was able to make a self perpetual turbine using water in regards to the expansion and contraction of heat. I wonder what will happen if you replace water with mercury? Would the same principal apply and since its a moving metal I would imagine you could harvest energy from it using a coil around the tube of some sorts. I feel like we are getting close to rediscovering this top secret mechanism. I wonder what happened to the other user who claims he had a prototype? Would you mind posting some pictures and/or videos of the device? And could you also elaborate the comment about "Gravity is magnetism with charge" because I feel like there might be something there.
