I uploaded both the original AVI and the scaled-down (half-size) WMV. The 
video was shot with an analog camcorder, therefore the difference in quality 
is barely noticeable.

I've found the video of the magnetic gate. I'm embaressed to say that it's
not as I remember it. There is a great deal less about magnetism in it
than I remember and it does indeed seem to focus on the magnetic gate.

Anyway, I'll upload it to the server and give access to it to the first 10
people that request it. Sorry it's 200k and I don't want my server
swamped. Hopefully some of these people will also make it available for
others to download. Send me a private email if interested. Russell has
already said he'd like to see it - so that's one request.

Now for something that really bugs me: all the concrete assertions
that verious things cannot happen. I was watching a documentry some time
ago about black holes in which various theories were being put forward. I
almost fell off my seat when one of the speakers explained that some of
the maths currently describing space time and relativistic effects does
not fit so it is ***ignored*** by many scientists. Over the years it has
become apparent that a great many scientists are like priests following a
religion - there's lots they don't understand but they still push their
view as though it is a fundamental irrefutable truth.
