Where do I find SELF-PERPETUATING DEVICES?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the search for self-perpetuating devices and the frustration over the removal of a previous thread on the topic. The original poster expressed disappointment in not being able to find their earlier contributions and questioned the moderation policies of the forum. They emphasized their intention to share innovative ideas and engage in meaningful discussions about their designs. The forum's guidelines prohibit discussions on non-mainstream theories, including perpetual motion and free energy, which explains the removal of such topics. Overall, the conversation highlights the tension between creative exploration and adherence to established scientific standards.

I came up with a few ideas that MIGHT help the engineering and building a self-perpetuating device. One or two months ago I started this subject and found interesting input from other members. And I stated I would be working on this for the next one or two months and would come back to this site to discuss my design results. But now I can't find it. Did you remove it deliberately? If so, why would you remove an interesting subject and challenge which I have come back to share some INTERESTING characteristics of the design with others to think about and provide some input in what I am working on?
I won't mind going elsewhere with my interesting subjects to discuss and share the results of my challenging designs. I am not a bimbo that drifts around various websites for worthless discussions. And if you had left that self-perpetuating subject on your website I could have added something interesting to the subject that others WOULD WANT TO READ ABOUT.
How old are the staff members/mentors?

Gee, you should have read the rules, eh?

Overly Speculative Posts:
One of the main goals of PF is to help students learn the current status of physics as practiced by the scientific community; accordingly, Physicsforums.com strives to maintain high standards of academic integrity. There are many open questions in physics, and we welcome discussion on those subjects provided the discussion remains intellectually sound. It is against our Posting Guidelines to discuss, in the PF forums or in blogs, new or non-mainstream theories or ideas that have not been published in professional peer-reviewed journals or are not part of current professional mainstream scientific discussion. Non-mainstream or personal theories will be deleted. Unfounded challenges of mainstream science and overt crackpottery will not be tolerated anywhere on the site. Linking to obviously "crank" or "crackpot" sites is prohibited.

Specifically banned topics.

Perpetual motion and "free energy" discussions
Search PF and you will find many threads that have been closed in a number of forums. As for S&D, any claim of this nature would be reproducible and/or testable by the scientific community; hence there is no need for debate.

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
