Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

Welp.  Horseshoe magnet wins out as the rotor instead of a neo only rotor.

I couldn't get the stator to get past the first 5 or 6 neo rotor's in a set of about 20. 

So I decided to go ahead with the horseshoe rotors as they gave me very promising results.

Nothing new in this video, but if you wish :

@ clanzer, here's a pic with dims, i put the offset center cut, and you may want to cut a bit more than half, i put the dims in mm, and THANKS.  with less than $20  us , u can magnitize mild steel every way since Jesus was born.

@ Que Thanks for sharing
 
@ Sterlinga, I'm doing my best, 40+ vids aint gonna seperate me from my money. All i need is one.

@ Paul L.,   DUDE, grab a cigar n drink, stick a umbrellad' diode in it, and post a VIDEO RANT ABOUT THE OU FREEKY DEEKY shite!!, I WOULD LOVE IT!!!!!

Decided to join this group and add my 5 cents worth. Reading this rapidly growing number of posts has been fun, but there seems to be much talk and surprisingly little action. Everyone seems to be waiting for Mylow to get his act together. I appreciate that there are a few others also building as well. I guess the high price of Mylow's magnets limits the degree of participation. OK here's my 5 cents worth... I just built what I call the Popsicle stick motor.  Here's how to do it:

1.Take one skate board wheel (got mine from my sons bedroom still attached to his long board),  and hot melt glue to wheel the plastic top from a food processor (you know that piece of plastic that stop the food from being spread around the kitchen went you hit the switch).
2.Take 25 Popsicle sticks and cut in half with a sharp knife (just sore really and break in half), this keeps your cost down.
3.Hot melt glue Popsicle sticks around  plastic edge of food processors top.
4.Hot melt  two rows of button magnets to Popsicle sticks. Builders note: don't glue to sticks before gluing them to food processor lid. This is very important, try it and you will find out.
5.Now that the rotor is built, time for the stator . Take one bar magnet, yes I said bar magnet not a horseshoe magnet, and hold in orthogonally to the outside of the stators magnets. And there you have it a working demonstration of Mylow's motor built inside out, or is it outside in.

Some noteworthy observations. Tolerances appear not to be very important. It you saw my Popsicle sticks going every which way you would agree too. The speed of rotation is proportional to the strength of the bar magnet and I assume all that of the stator magnets. Mine were N45's.

Please do not ask for pictures because I had to dissemble it before my wife and son got home. I did not appreciate how well hot melt bonds to plastic.  I have ordered more button magnets (about $30 worth) and will be building a more professional looking version in due coarse.  One final thought, why did Howard Johnson not also do this given his 30 years of effort?

It mite help if i include the pic

The original photo shows Mylow’s two rotor gaps, relative to the total stator size.  Important stuff I'm sure.  I also think the size of the stator's own gap, relative to the size of the rotors, is probably important too.  Likely not just a coincidence in making sure this doesn't stick, etc.

Looking at the original photo, I noticed that the two rotors, when placed together, appear to fit inside one side of the gap, and to the outside of the other end of the stator.  I edited the original photo to show this relative measurement technique in a second photo.

This ALSO happens to illustrate at the same time that two gaps equal the size of one end of the stator magnet.

Since Mylow's exact magnets can't be purchased anymore, I think these relative measurement techniques could be a quick way for folks to do an easy visual check, to be sure their own magnet combinations are closely proportional to Mylow's magnet set.
