Real Perpetual Motion Experiment 1

This experiment conducted on April 5th, 2016 aimed to defend the Perpetual Motion Pendulum Type 1, and largely met with success.

However, there is still an issue in that I have never managed to make it work with a fixed member holding the tether, only by steadying it with my own hands.

However, it seems too close to call from my vantage point. Perhaps technical modifications could make it work with something less sensitive than my hands. However it DOES work with my hands, so perhaps some kind of swivel arrangement on top would work just as well.

The market I went to this morning didn't react very much when I tried to declare perpetual motion.... The audience either didn't care, or thought I was twisting the strings or adding energy some other way...

The only photo I took in the cafe with the contraption.

My hope is that April can become a month for unexpected genius as well as foolishness.

Another 666, and 51

Self-explanatory, I guess.

It reads roughly: "A foolish devil..."

QUOTATIONS FROM THE GOLDEN NOTEBOOK, BY NATHAN COPPEDGE

" It makes your hair stand on end when you reflect on how much time and exertion has been wasted on the brilliancy of the Bible...And what...will have been gained from these ‘Facts’? Certainly nothing more than the knowledge that, like all books, the Bible was a book written by men...The more an elucidation shines upon the Bible the more it contains ordinary proofs..."


"Writing is an excellent means of awakening the system within, as well as those problems which wax eternal..."


"All men treat themselves this way in their own minds: with golden objectivity. {What about women}, you might ask at this point. Well, some things we must pass over in silence…"


" Do you think the world has ever been different than NOW? ... Yes or no, then very well, but what about LIFE, THE SUN, AND GOD? ... That question comes from an obscure place. And my answer is the question. The question is the answer THAT How do God and Sun exist in One? Or Love wear a Hat that works on my Materiel? Indeed, Obscure, Obscure!"

"Mathematics works independent of all other quantities... Yet it has quantity to thank, albeit. So, other quantities are aliens. Aliens to aliens... In truth, the mind dabbles freely. History is nothing except the development of the laws of the human mind."


"It is the most dependable of all the human sciences, but also certainly SIMPLE or EASY... Judging by this, metaphysics is the easiest of all sciences (BECAUSE TO IT it is the simplest)..."


"Who is a fiction? I mean to ask a metaphysical question!"

“ 'And, I perceived' its value only after I began to lose it (should I believe this? Religion is for the Gods)..." --- Nathan Coppedge, The Golden Notebook


"Translations of madness are mad... But I know that both eating and reading contribute something to the conversation in my head."


"[I]f only I had done something verily wicked this morning, at least I would know this nature I suffer with you... [all of this as a means of empathizing]"


"...Since we do not know where we think, we can remove our thoughts to wherever we wish. Just as we can speak so that he who hears us believes the voice is coming from a third person, so we can think, too, as though we were being spoken to. Genius Sokratis, etc... What an astonishing amount we may learn from our dreams."


"[E]ven those well-versed in him often found his epithets emotional and grasped them with difficulty..."


"It is like A TEMPLE OF DOOM in which WE ARE IMMORTALS. The impossible leap! The harrowing doves! The acorns made of missiles!"


"Regarding HEALTH... There are as many who are sick in imagination as are physically ill. And there are as many minds with healthy imaginations as there are people with healthy bodies---!"


"The true function of the writer is to admit of others’ psychological states. Medium-quality writers only say the things that are held in common amongst all the writers...."


"If walking on two legs is not natural to man, it is certainly an invention that does him credit."


"Enlightenment in all meaningful roles really consists in correctly grasping our essential function, which is MEANING."


"It was no friendly act on the part of Mr. Kant... With works of this nature, the zesto and gusto related to their epiphanization is sustained only by the idea of the worthy EPIPHANY."


"Pray for God. God’s dead!... Or death is infirm information."


"Feed me golden apple cores..."


"[M]aybe God could have a standard."

The Most Under-Rated Designer! / Design Philosopher: Nathan Coppedge!

DESIGNER RELATIONSHIPS

https://hypercubics.blogspot.com/2026/03/dating-weapons-2026-03-05.html

EARLIER WORK

Although this writing originally contained "special fair use" images associated with inventions by the author of the blog, these images have been removed to avoid new copyright and trademark ambiguities related to the use of "AdSense".  If further issues or ambiguities crop up, please refer the concern to the author and the offending content will be promptly removed.

"I love ideas, especially my own ideas. And there's a reason for that..."

I may have had my hand in the following products and brands:

[IMG of the "Cooper Mini" has been removed by the author as it may be copyright, though the author played a key role in inspiring the name for the car]

In New Haven, someone asked me for an idea of a car, and I said it should be a sort of puffed out coup car designed for the luxury market, but cheap for a luxury car. The man asked me to make a drawing, and I promptly did. It was basically identical to the outer body of the Cooper Mini. This was probably the basis for the design, which appeared about 7 years later (2005 - 2012).

[IMG of "Eb Lens" brand has been removed as it may be trademarked, although originally education license might permit reuse and Nathan invented the name 'eb lens' as a basketball brand during a trip in California]

When I was in California, or just back from vacation in California, someone asked me a question about whether I knew of any names that might work for clothing store, particularly one oriented towards basketball-type products. My answer was "Eb Lens" because it makes people think of dribbling really fast and dunking. He asked me for further explanation, and I said "It's pure psychology. Kind of hard to explain." And I gave an explanation of how ebbing and flowing, "getting a little destructive", and "giving someone the eye" was all about basketball. And, "Basically, because it works" I said. About ten years later, a branch of a company by that name opened in New Haven. And yes, it featured basketball clothing. Unfortunately, I never agreed to receive royalties for the products.

["Keys on Kites" logo has been removed by the author, as it may be a trademark although the author is affiliated with the brand through designing the name for the company]

Keys with Kites Tattoos, now called Keys on Kites. I came up with the name during an ask-for-word-on-the-street contest. The name was later adopted by the Tattoo parlor, which is situated in Westville (don't get a tattoo: I don't like tattoos, and I designed the name for this place).

["Alchemy club" logo has been removed by the author, as it may be a trademark, although the author inspired the name for the company during a contest held in the same city]

Alchemy Club. I came up with the name. Another street contest. I also named "bobby's" grocery in New Haven, after someone I sort of hated (I don't own "bobby's" grocery, but they were looking for a name).

[IMG example of 'evolution tattoos' has been removed, as it may be copyright, although under academic use the author may have inventor's privileges to reproduce the image as an example of his invention]

Also, I suggested 'Evolution Tattoos' in New Haven, which is coincidentally located around the corner from where I live on Orange St. Too bad for them, since I'm not into tattoos. Their logo is similar to the above tattoo (not on my body, or anyone I know). Maybe they'll move to Kits & Nevis around the time the aliens start transporting to surface stations...

[This image is by the author of the blog, like most images on the blog]

Here is a story of how I designed the projections that now appear at rest-stops across the United States and maybe also artificial trees in the same blow (don't blame me: I didn't think they were phallic. In fact, they were designed not to be. They're just supposed to look modern and exciting...) HERE IS THE LINK.

[IMG of downdraft energy tower has been removed by the author, even though academic use is lenient and might permit reuse if it were non-commercial]

So-called Downdraft Energy Tower. I found this in a patent database, and informed an Israeli intellectual. Now it is being built in Arizona (no royalties, yet again).

I also came up with the lyrics "I'm sexy and I know it" (based on my love of philosophy and being a pariah), and possibly the word 'twerk' in middle school in the 1990's.

Apparently, I have played a large part in defining culture as we know it today, and yet I'm virtually an unknown. 

I'm still 32.

If any of my readers want quick, brilliant design advice about big ideas (suggestions, appearances, new brand names), then by all means contact me at my e-mail with some information about your project: contact [at] nathancoppedge.com. 

Feedback will be both limited and unlimited, if you understand me. Royalties are preferred, if you are a representative of a major company. Otherwise, a check in the mail would be excellent (just a donation). Or, a contract can be arranged. E-mail multiple times if necessary. Don't worry, I am interested. I love ideas, especially my own ideas. And there's a reason for that THERE'S NO MOTHERFUCKER

PROPHETS OF INTELLECT

These might include science fiction authors, philosophers, etc.

Amadeus Mozart --- abstract predictions making life more creative for everyone.
         Concept of 'life's variations' elaborated from earlier composers.
Bible writers --- perpetuated the concept of prophecy as something that was not idiotic.
Protagoras -- concept of relativity / all arguments are good.
Plato --- self-fulfilling prophecy of the Republic form of government.
Aristotle --- created logic no one else knew existed.
Lichtenberg --- made many predictions modern for their time, including that
            metaphysics could be mad.
Husserl --- formalized the beginnings of objective knowledge, including
         the state / quality distinction.
Marx --- contributed the concept of Communism.
George Orwell --- largely prophetic mentality.
Immanuel Kant --- secular humanism and criminal justice.
Neil Gibson --- science fiction writer predicted the computer 'core' .
Neil Stephenson --- science fiction writer predicted metaverse.

Looking at these, it is like there is a growing metaphysical trend----unless that is just the temptation of geniuses... Aristotle would know!

Recent Quotes (Late June 2015)

"What matters is not only the object, but also the meaning of the object. While this seems like a cop-out, in fact it is a subtler answer than phenomenal intensionality. We can attribute objectivity to causality and formative principles, as well as our own pragmatic purposes---or forms of critique---rather than reducing an object into a supposedly objective viewpoint which is only an interpretation".

"We can blame the supposed lack of an original object upon the process of having a meaningful interpretation. For there is no rule which says that the object's causes must have meaning. And, although the human mind is capable of ascribing causes to an object, it is not always capable of ascribing meaningful causation. The same is not true of interpretation. And that is why original objects are seen to be meaningless. Yet, if they were meaningful, we would believe in them, only we would likely hold them to be contingent upon some process of critique. But the process of critique is really a way of involving ourselves in the process of finding meaning, e.g. from the sources of things in causal and acausal laws. If the original object seems meaningless, since it may arise from meaningless causes, this says nothing against the reality of the original object".

"We find causation meaningless, so objects are real! Of course! Even if they participate with our minds, that doesn't mean that the objects or the mind have to be absolute! Nor does it guarantee that we don't have a mind. To prove a mind does not require proving a complete mind, for according to relativity, any kind of mind is, in some way, a mind. Therefore, whatever has an opinion that it is a mind, is in some way, officially, a mind. For any sort of mind is capable of meaningful translation, even if the perspective that translates is not the original mind. The mind itself is a kind of object, even if there is no standard to objectify it. The absence of standards is never reason enough to prove that something is without reality.".

"Basically, there's some variable that's killing me. Am I dying of democracy? Do immortals ask this question? Should I know everything?"

The Story of the Invention of the Tilt Motor Perpetual Motion Concept

This is a story the details of which some will doubt. I was in a cafe in 2006, that much is certain. The cafe was called Koffee, and still exists on Audobon St. in New Haven, CT. This was before they served wine on the weekends. It was not so upscale back then. But it was still considered a quality cafe. Some of the patrons were artistic or floating between academia and joblessness.

On this occasion in October 29th I was wont to spend late nights at the cafe (I think it was my attraction to girls), and this night was no exception. I began to feel a peculiar kind of listlessness, a listlessness that I intuitively knew should be accompanied by some incredible idea. So, feeling the hands of fate upon me, I began swiveling my empty coffee cup (actually, I was drinking tea, but that's what they're called), I swiveled it around several times on the table.

'Alulekah!' I said ('Let there be light').

What I had thought of was a horizontal wheel which would receive a similar cylinder, engaged by what else but levers, which would do what? They would extend the slope of the swiveling track behind the motion of the rolling cone!

Voila! What would be my most verifiable perpetual motion concept for seven years.

Later, when I got locked in the restroom overnight, I had the feeling that I time traveled to the previous morning.

The cafe girl told me it was still the eve of mischief night! Apparently someone more greedy than me had stolen my entire future, perhaps hoping to out-do the inventor.

I then re-lived the whole event over again, this time with greater confidence. Apparently, I had 'overclocked the system'!

Not to taint the broth...

* HAIR HA HA HAIR

In case my I.Q. is 220 instead of 135 for getting a GSOHI score of 22, I've decided to celebrate by offering a number of ideas which I think are worthy of Newton or Galileo, who each held I.Q. scores of 190, and high scores by others such as Cezanne and Zen Masters:

GALILEO IDEAS
1. I applied analytic as a razor.
2. If she knows French, it could be seven languages (she's Arabic).
3. The moon is made of cheese. Proper answer: thank you.
4. Interesting times. Exponential matters. (soul of the Renaissance).

NEWTONIAN / LEIBNIZIAN IDEAS
1. There is an aperture at the zeroith dimension.
2. Modular politics.
3. Creature feature.
4. Diamond dementia.
5. Old words.
6. Picaresque problems = Proverbs.
7. Order of the Sun = Hellish Obligations

CEZANNE IDEAS
1. Idea gardens
2. 'Tropical' pictures = Fauvism

ZEN MASTER IDEAS
1. Paper gardens
2. The second center.
3. Aesthetic Epicure = Asceticism
