I have to agree vawtman.

Flux is one of a great team of RE experts on fieldlines.

He appears as quite an illusive chap, which is fine - never in my knowledge has Flux been incorrect and appears to relish the chance to help others, which has to be admired.

Just keep going Flux - appreciated

Ben.

Speech! Speech!

Or at least tell us more about your projects. Some stories from the old days, pictures maybe? Good God man, who is this person we call Flux?

Don't butter him up too much He'll want money . As it is he's stuck given freebe customer support . Good job there.

vawtman · « **Reply #4 on:** March 29, 2008, 03:46:13 PM »

If you don't know who FLUX is you must not have attempted a build yet.Good luck with your travels.

electrondady1 · « **Reply #5 on:** March 29, 2008, 04:54:38 PM »

very grateful for all his help

JW · « **Reply #6 on:** March 29, 2008, 05:24:31 PM »

Agreed,

definetly well thought out responses. You have to admire his patience. It would be interesting to know more about Flux. But think this lends itself to the fact he trys to remain as socially neutral as possible. Purly technical most of the time, but indeed very human. I have much respect for Flux as a person...

Sorry Andy i thought your comment was aimed at me at first.It would be cool to learn more about Flux's history.

My spelling error got corrected. Thanks Tom if it was you.

Certainly true.

Thanks Mr. (or is it Professor??) Flux for all the great and accurate Information.

I also admire his patience especially for beginners, positive attitude, and tact.

I have never seen him get angry or insult anyone (even though it would be Mega easy for him to do so), but rather is direct, accurate, and to the point, similar to a very experienced and competent teacher. He is so smart as to not even get angry. Best way to be. I hope he stays around a long time so I can learn alot more.

Thanks Flux!

Yes i too must add my little bit he sure has been a GREAT help to me

blueyonder · « **Reply #11 on:** March 29, 2008, 07:42:00 PM »

FLUX well i think he is most helpful.

and in a gentle way he will explain to the beginner that what he is trying to do is

is a waist of magnets wire and time. in that order.

i just wish flux would write a book on building a wind gen.

like one spanner -two spanner -three spanner - etc etc.

i enjoy this forum i enjoy reading hughs book.

but would also enjoy reading the book bye FLUX .

so if you read this FLUX .how much for a first edition . and signed .

im sure he could have written a book . the amount of writing he dos on here.

good lad flux . keep up the good work.

Thanks, vawtman, for saying what's been on the minds of the hundreds members (and how many more casual viewers who've read and learned without joining up?) that have received an insightful (and yes, often patient) answer from Professor Flux.

Flux has helped me on countless occasions, and his advice has proven to be valuable both on the day of delivery, AND when I re-read my old postings years later. I learn more and can better appreciate the depth of his answer.

ghurd · « **Reply #14 on:** March 29, 2008, 08:14:40 PM »

My favorite thing about his answers is how they are understandable to the person asking.

Oh, and he's always right.

Didn't we have this same talk 2 Sept 2005?

boB · « **Reply #15 on:** March 29, 2008, 09:39:30 PM »

And happy Birthday to Flux too !!

I have learned quite a bit from Flux myself and am grateful for the knowledge and wisdom shared here.

boB

PS.. I ~think~ I know who she is, too, but I would never tell, even if I thought I was right.

cslarson · « **Reply #16 on:** March 29, 2008, 09:47:13 PM »

Thanks for your contributions, Flux. Having a wise, experience, knowledgeable person around makes a huge difference! Thanks for sharing what you know.

Spdlmt150 · « **Reply #17 on:** March 30, 2008, 12:30:52 AM »

For anyone who has the knowledge of the technical side of things, as well as the personality & people skills to convey that knowledge to as varied of a crowd that shows up here with a clarity unmatched by anyone... And do so without any expectations or compensation.....

Everyone here owes some degree of gratitude.

Everyone here is still curious if Flux is really Ziggy Stardust, but some questions are better unanswered.

Any which way, thanks a bunch to Flux for all the help. I am forever indebted.

Also, thanks to those who keep this forum going. It is one of the best collections of useful information on the internet, and an invaluable outlet for the creativity & collaboration of the masses that meet here.

lglagasse · « **Reply #18 on:** March 30, 2008, 04:59:04 AM »

I agree with all the posative comments and praise given to Flux. He is most deserving and so very willing to help.

I have been reading on this board for a few Months,I have asked some dumb questions as well but always get a knowledgable response from Flux. It is people like you Flux who keep things going in a straight line here. Please keep helping out.

Courtesy, Honor, Respect, is what i have for Flux, and what he shows everyone.

domwild · « **Reply #22 on:** March 30, 2008, 09:38:13 PM »

Thanks must go to Flux, Jerry, Commanda, Allan (wokalup), Dr_Acula, Brucedownunder and many others, who suffer fools (myself included) gladly and always offer advice.

Thanks.

Capt Slog · « **Reply #23 on:** March 31, 2008, 02:40:27 AM »

I've said my thanks before when Flux has posted an answer, but it's worth saying again. Thank you Flux.

I too would love to know who/what he is, I always imagine that he is a professor as others have mentioned. I would also like to see what he's built.

This is a UK only reference, but isn't he a bit like "The Stig" off Top Gear?

behoof · « **Reply #24 on:** March 31, 2008, 09:44:23 AM »

Yep, some days I come in here just to sit and read his posts... what a wealth of knowledge.

I've been using wind energy for the last 27 years but I still don't know 1% of what Flux does. Thank you Flux for your contribution!!!!!!

Devo · « **Reply #29 on:** March 31, 2008, 08:39:30 PM »

Agreed, Haven't posted much lately but am still working away mostly due to the precise help of Flux & a few others like Ed at Windstuffnow, Jerry, & many others.

Thanks to all who help from this GREAT site & to those who provide it!!

(Finally going 48 volt).

Many Thanks

Devin

Sly · « **Reply #30 on:** April 01, 2008, 06:26:23 PM »

Ditto to all of the above,

Although I would like FLUX to let us in on how he learned so much, his current set up, his life experiences etc. etc. I respect the fact that at this point and time he does not wish to share this.

FLUX, and all the others (don't want to venture into listing names in fear of forgetting invaluable contributors) please continue to help us less knowledgeable rookies, maybe one day we can only hope to assist in carrying the torch a bit further.

SINCERELY, THANK YOU!!!

coldspot · « **Reply #31 on:** April 01, 2008, 09:41:51 PM »

Thanks must go to,

Dan's, Flux, Jerry, Commanda, Ghurd, Ed, Tom, Master Zubbly and so many more I'd love to meet in person.

We all need to remember, like with zub, some day they won't be around to help show us the way, so-

JUST be NICE, even if your thoughts don't match what somebody else has in mind.

bj · « **Reply #32 on:** April 06, 2008, 01:57:14 AM »

Vawt--You are right, in my opinion. But, all on this board

are an asset to all, in some way.

Flux hase nudged me in the right direction more than once.

Tom has done the same.

You have been helpfull, and courtious, both on this board,

and in E-mail. All of this is a step up to the plate, for all

of us.

We all just need to remember that this board is a tool, that

we are allowed to use, and it is very valuable.

Tom--this should have probably been in rants, but couldn't

make it work. Put it wherever You think appropriate. And Thanks.
