| ABOUT THE INVENTOR (NOT NECESSARILY OF PERPETUAL MOTION) Nathan Coppedge is 24, and lives in New Haven, CT where he is trying to foster his own independence. His physics education consisted of four years of informal math classes as part of the Interactive Math Program (IMP) during high school, which included calculations for ferris wheels and other physics-related behaviors, doubtless an inspiration for rotating devices. He and the other students would receive weekly "POW"s or problems of the week, which were involved word problems. He became known for providing lengthy, detailed explanations of his solutions, some of which one teacher (who was making retirement plans) claimed he hadn't seen before, as long as he'd been teaching the program. Nathan thought of his first invention at about 9 years old--a popcorn gun. His passion for inventing lapsed during adolescence, with the exception of some game design and an interest in traps for Dungeons & Dragons games. However, the passion was recently rekindled as he did some soul-searching and found that he had continued doubts about whether his education was not already complete. Aside from inventing, Nathan has other interests which he would call something more than hobbies: philosophy, poetry, and the visual arts. Inventing is by no means his sine qua non. He takes all his interests seriously, but of course he takes his humor seriously too. --Nathan Coppedge January 5, 2007 MY PERPETUAL MOTION STORY BACK TO THE MAIN PERPETUAL MOTION PAGE NATHANCOPPEDGE.COM |
