Should be reasonably easy to settle the issue. Who's going to build the thing and put it to the test?
disturbing thought!
What if Paul makes one that works, and Bill makes one that doesn't?
I guess that gives Orac the chance to say that according to QM, it's all down to the observer/creator.
Then once again I will have to see it torn down in a public forum and checked carefully to find the gimmick that appears to make Paul's work.
Oh, and in Paul's rambling reply I still didn't see him provide a source for the force that is supposed to make the wheel turn. The only thing remotely like such a force is a vague reference to centrifugal force, which only applies inside a rotating frame of reference. In the part of the video that shows it starting from rest it isn't rotating at first, and therefore centrifugal force is not a factor.
From outside the rotating frame centrifugal force is a consequence of Newton's first law, and is not a real force.
