Hi Bob,
I did a very rough experiment that I assembled on site about 9 years ago of the J1 design. The experiment proved out the basic mechanics but that's it. No Shop + No Money = No More Experiments. I have a 20 second video of it working but the simulations do a much better job.
I started learning CAD a couple of years ago and I decided to attempt the design concept in 3D. I knew it would have a wild look but I decided to do it anyway. I think the design is simple but I certainly understand that others will see it as too complex. I do think the design could be simplified a good bit.
Thanks for your interest!
