edit - remove reference to other perpetual motion device - shield property of Covourite is different from real matter.
Dr. Van Flandern,
Your device would obviously work on Earth's surface (where the graviton flux is not uniform ), but out in deep space (where the flux is uniform) I don't see a way avoid EBTX's conclusion relative to this design.
EBTX moved the goal post while you were looking away. Tricky.

This would seem to bring into question the use of simple (ie omni-directional) shielding as a general purpose means of extracting energy from the graviton flux.
However, Gregg Wilson posted some interesting speculations recently (in several threads titled "Atomic Hydrogen and ...") centered on the possibility of non-spherical geometry in addition to shielding.
To summarize his thesis:
* If protons are so dense that few gravitons can pass through them (large shielding factor)
* and if they are shaped like a conical prism
* then a uniform graviton flux will push them around in the direction of their points.
All you have to do is look at an anemometer to see that it can work. So I'd say THIS is the nail in the coffin of EBTX's challenge.

The rest of Gregg's speculations are equally interesting, but far from complete.
(Gregg, any more stuff along this line?)
