I have been actively experimenting and building \u201cstuff\u201d for many years. Some of this \u201cstuff\u201d was really never meant to see the light of day or at least never to be \u201creviewed\u201d by \u201cacademia\u201d, it was done for the sheer joy of creating something new and unique. Now that one of these creations has progressed to the point where it becomes something profoundly useful, academia is pushing back harder than ever\u2026 Even with a functional prototype right in front of them, the PhD scientists are quick to expound their firm belief stating loudly \u201cthat\u2019s not possible\u201d and accusing anyone involved in any way of being a \u201ccharlatan\u201d, a \u201cfake\u201d, or a \u201cscammer\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like the idea of \u201cperpetual motion\u201d or \u201czero-point energy\u201d, \u201cinertial propulsion\u201d is seen as a direct threat to everything they have been taught and what they have been taught to stand for. Anyone even open to the idea is immediately labeled as a \u201cfraud\u201d and is no longer welcome anywhere near the circles of the \u201cscientifically advanced\u201d or \u201creal\u201d scientists (as they consider themselves).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has even been publicly stated that \u201cthere is no longer a place for the \u2018garage inventor\u2019 because there is nothing more they can contribute to science\u201d\u2026 HOGWASH! Science has become a cult of \u201celitists\u201d who are so self-absorbed that all others are too far beneath them to be of any value as human beings\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have (unfortunately) come into direct contact with these \u201celitist PhD\u2019s\u201d and have simply learned make peace with this bullshit. Now as people around me are starting to experience the ostracism there seem to be a couple of choices presented. One choice is to \u201croll over\u201d and \u201ctake it up the a$$\u201d by simply shutting up and going away. Another is to \u201cavoid contact\u201d with the elitists and quietly keep working. The third is to \u201cstand and fight\u201d against the system and the elitists running it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter your personal decision, my advice (for what its worth) is to \u201cstay true to what you believe in\u201d BUT always \u201cpick your fights wisely\u201d! That is it\u2026 You may choose to avoid conflict and stay \u201csafe\u201d, but if you do choose to \u201cstand-up\u201d to the elite authority, do so wisely and do not expect to unilaterally \u201cwin\u201d! Accept the small victories with graciousness, and consider the failures as \u201clearning experiences\u201d the same way we do in the lab or the shop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorry to get so serious\u2026 Now I need to get back to work, and do what I do best building stuff\u2026 Thanks for reading this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

–The PIE 4.8 is ready to test<\/strong> with two counter rotating wheels. The two wheels are fully independent with their own identical speed controllers and motors. They are fastened together on a 2X4 frame, and initial testing will be on wheels followed by on-road testing. The photo has the assembly sitting on a work cart. That cart is not stable enough to run the PIE on, but it is enough to load\/unload it from its transportation, and carry it between test stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
