Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the validity of Marko Rodin's work, particularly his 'Rodin Coil' and the associated concept of 'vortex based mathematics'. Participants express their opinions on whether Rodin's ideas are credible or if they fall into the category of pseudoscience or 'crackpot' theories. The scope includes both technical and non-technical perspectives, as well as personal experiences with the concepts presented by Rodin.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses skepticism about Rodin's credibility, describing him as a "nutter" while also planning to conduct experiments with the Rodin coil to compare it with standard toroidal coils.
  • Another participant questions the need to ask if Rodin's work is considered crackpot, implying that the inquiry itself suggests a lack of understanding of the topic.
  • There are multiple responses that emphasize adherence to forum rules regarding discussions of crackpot theories, indicating a concern for maintaining the quality of discourse.

Marko Rodin... Fraud or not a Fraud??

For all the people who know of the so called 'Rodin Coil', or, otherwise known (by Rodin Himself) as a 'Flux Thruster Atom Pulsar'. I would like to seek opinions on this work by people who skim this forum. The coil certainly has an interesting geometry, but after watching his video series on you tube (1 to 44) on his 'vortex based mathematics', I came to the conclusion that he is, well, abit of a nutter and I can't take him seriously. That said, I will be building a Rodin coil (once i have found a decent former) and thoughly testing it in the lab and comapring it to standard toroidal coils so see what the 'deal' actually is.

Please post your views, technical and non technical, It will be interesting to see a broad spectrum of responses.

Thanks,

Chris

Come on?. If you have to ask if that is crackpot then something is certainly wrong.

In Before the Lock.

I don't have to ask... I would like to know others opinions, that is all.

Read the forum rules. If you know that is crackpot don't post it.
 


Sorry! Just read the rules... No crackpottery.

Thanks for that, least i'll know for next time.
