The first time this video was uploaded to youtube, it was removed for being "inappropriate." Fortunately, a bunch of people also uploaded it to their youtube accounts and mirrored it. Well, the original filmographer uploaded it again, so youtube .. it's baaaack!

Friction in Line Rider
Is there friction in Line Rider? Does it function as physics would expect? To test this, I set up a simple track:
Scale of the Line Rider
First, we assume that the line rider is on Earth and for low speeds will have a free-falling acceleration of 9.8 m/s2. Next, an arbitrary distance is selected. In this case the length of the sled is chosen to be 1 LU (Linerider Unit).
I recently saw a comment on a blog somewhere about putting satellites into space (I think it was from a post about a rocket that blew up). The poster suggested using a giant catapult to put things in space instead of rockets. Maybe he or she was kidding, or maybe not.
Here is what is cool about [Fantastic Contraption](http://fantasticcontraption.com/) - it's like a whole new world, a world ready for exploring. I am Newton, and I can see if this world follows the models that I propose.
They (the YouTube overlords) must read this blog, 'cuz the video seems to have been inappropriated again...
it's still there. i am watching it right now. what sort of error did you get?
This morning while leaving a restaurant, I spied a full color flyer advertising a local church with a list of the pastor's favorite subjects.
At the top was "Nazi Germany; an example of what can happen when a nation forgets God."
I'm sitting here wondering how a congregation of nearly 300 in a retirement community can be devoid of persons that will quietly give the pastor historic perspective.
YouTube.com makes every effort to be as conscientious, consistent and fair as possible in their 'acceptable upload' policy - it's not like they make these decisions by having a monkey fling poo at a blackboard. They use three monkeys, and average the results.
The monkeys don't seem to have a pro-religion bias, but they always get excited when they see a clip of Ray Comfort and his banana.
what sort of error did you get?
A circle-made-of-little-circles-spinning-for-about-ten-minutes error.
But the vid works very nicely for me now... (thx!)
