does this perpetual motion engine have an "off" button?

"Arindam Banerjee" <

I was suggesting new theories in physics that could lead to wonderful
things in the future. You are welcome to think and do whatever you
like. As for when this engine will materialise, looks like, long after
I'll be dead. At this stage, I am only putting up new ideas for future
work. If I am lucky, I will get the means to work on my ideas, but
given the state of the world as shown by the quality of your mind, I
won't be so lucky. Thanks for your interest, anyway. Now, get lost.

a 'perpetual motion engine' huh? so, when will you have this engine
build to save all the world's energy problem?

till you do, i don't think i will be keen on looking at your 'book'.

Just so you don't miss out on all the fun, here's an excerpt from
his website, illustrating his deep insights:

2) Go to the streets of India, and see a small boy running beside a
vertically moving wheel (often the rim of a bicycle wheel), and
accelerating it from rest by small taps with a stick. If you consider
just the energy involved in the continous taps (and not the boys
running) to the wheel, you should find that the final energy of the
wheel is more than that of the sum of the energy involved in every tap.

3) This is rather like Example 2 given above, that of the small boy
accelerating a bicycle wheel. Go to a carousel in a fun park. You give
a sharp jerk on one of the objects that go round and round. You start
the whole carousel moving, that way, if it is not too heavy. Running on
the sidewalk beside the carousel, you keep on pushing, in small jerks,
till the carousel moves at fair speed. Stopping the carousel, by just
standing on one spot, will not be so easy!

...*ahem*... (hoo-boy)

[ Dear Mr Arindam Banerjee,
[
[ I had sent you a mail regarding your idea of machines for unlimited

[
[ I am referring to this post.

[
[ In the first paragraph, you said "Energy is force multiplied by the
[ distance over which the force is applied". But this is the definition
[ of work done, not energy. If you say that both are one and the same,
[ it is quite contradictory to your theory. So I assume that you were
[ talking about work done. Therefore,
[
[ W = MaS
[
[ Now you substitutued S by 0.5aTT. But according to Newtonian
[ mechanics, S = ut + 0.5att. If you substitute that value, you will get
[
[ W = Ma(VT + 0.5aTT) = MVV + 0.5MVV = 1.5MVV
[
[ This value is the work done when moving the body from a reference
[ frame of velocity V to a reference frame of velocity 2V, relative to
[ the initial reference frame (the one having 0 velocity). If you use
[ this value in your calculation for the sum of work done in steps -
[
[ W = W1 + W2 = 0.5MVV + 1.5MVV = 2MVV
[
[ Now, kinetic energy is
[
[ KE = 0.5M(2V)^2 = 2MVV
[
[ Hence W = KE
[
[ Hope you understood the problem in your logic. You were calculating
[ the work done in two steps relative to two different reference frames,
[ and trying to add them up. They are not additive. You cannot measure
[ work or energy absolutely, they are relative quantities. And you
[ cannot assume that their magnitude will be the same in different
[ reference frames.

HOW ARINDAM BANERJEE DECEIVED THE IIT

There's an attendance rule at the IITs, which
Arindam Banerjee obviously violated by his own
confession below. He likely also had his friends
act as a proxy for him during roll calls, sit for
him in exams and cheat the IIT in other ways:

". . . I tried to attend as few classes as I could;
mainly it was a matter of making friends with the really
great guys who let me photocopy their lecture notes, and
tell me which assessment was due when. Still, I had to
miss quite a few exams, when I had too much work
pressure, and that reflected upon my grades. Now I
wonder, how did I manage to do it all! My wife never
understood how I managed to pass and get my degree, for
she hardly ever saw me studying. But all's well that
ends well . . ."

Why should I not? A Jew almost made it to Vice President, and they

If

you run foul of a Jew in USA, you are labelled a Nazi, and you have

no

chance at all for recognition or promotion, for then you become
morally responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews in WW2. This,

by

the way, has just happened to me in an interchange in the newsgroup

rec.art.books. Some Jew named Zeleny called me a wog Nazi because

he

did not appreciate some of my views relating to US foreign

policies.

I was also described as a Nazi earlier when I said that Einstein

could

be wrong so far as his theory of relativity was concerned.

Nice change in tactics, Ari. First you accuse others of
racism in a discussion in which you brought up the subject
yourself. Then you post something quite racist yourself.
Then, in an unrelated post, you post something incredibly
antisemitic largely because you were feeling sorry for
yourself and were honked off because they didn't like
your "scientific theory" contradicting Einstein.

And somehow you see fit to lecture others on
"reasoned argument"? Don't make me laugh.

And as I said, you are a proven gutless scumbag,

In your eyes, Ari. That's not much of a
recommendation now, is it?

incapable of decency,

"Decency"? Heh.

Thanks for your interest in me, and I appreciate being the object
of so much attention, though I wish a lot of money came from it.
I am most kindly disposed towards Jews - despite their negative
attitude towards me, but that is understandable, for if my theories
are right, their beloved Einstein will be shown wrong - and so I have
suggested that they all leave the Middle East and get for themselves a
Zionist state in Florida, where they should be much loved and respected
by the USAns who worship their one true god.

Some "decency" there, huh?

Matt Giwer would be proud.

content to make snide attacks from the safety of other newsgroups.

Like you did to Michael Zeleny on soc.culture.india in the third
post I referenced, eh?

Physician, heal thyself.

Abuse is, thus, what you deserve.

Self-abuse is, as proven, what you post.

(Remainder of Ari's wankery deleted - why is it that kooks
always gravitate to Einstein's dead ***** like flies when
everything else they rant about runs dry?)

How 'Shame of IIT' Arindam Banerjee tries to deceive

Newton's Second Law states that the change
in velocity (acceleration) with which an object
moves is directly proportional to the magnitude
of the force applied to the object and inversely
proportional to the mass of the object.

But "Shame of IIT" Arindam Banerjee tries to deceive
others by posting the following:
