Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

Here's an Audio-Technica turntable without the rubber on it.

For the the video i posted last night of my completed array ... i actually tried every config i could think of to get it to turn .. No luck.
as i closed the loop of the mag array all movement stopped.

Today i broke off the mags and started Mylows current config:series of seven around the disk separated by 2 1/4 inch followed by a set of six mags separated by 4 1/2 inches..

i am about half around the disk - going slow trying to keep spacing accurate as possible.

i shot a movie just now at the half way complete mark where i can see the disk movement is slowing as i close the loop on the mag array.  This is what my disk with series of three did also ..

i see no tendency of this setup to want to self sustain .. maybe it's my setup - i dunno ..
Waiting for ClaNZer to show me how ..

Will shoot another movie at the end when i close the loop ..

Hi Higgsfield,

Yes, got enough button magnets to make it around but did not have room to clump them in groups so it was not a precise  replication and it did/does not run.  If it is to run, I suspect that I will have make a much larger wheel to isolate the fields of the opposing magnets so there is no interaction and do the clumping/spacing shown by MYLOW.  I have not made or posted any other videos as failure is not much fun to watch.

After the fiasco I have read about the lawyer and MIB(or whatever), I don't know who or what to believe any more. I don't watch soap operas on TV and I do not wish to be part of one on the web! I wish to believe he was sincere but have sever  reservations about the whole thread now and will keep my personal opinions  to myself.

Should I spend up to $500 bucks, invest 100-200 hours time to make a good solid wheel, a good adjustable stator, buy good magnets or just say "to hell with it!".......That is the question and it all boils down to this:  Is the theory viable or not?

At this time has anyone else achieved a 1 turn + rotation from a standing start (NO PUSH) with magnets initially placed in the center of the "Stator" magnet?  (that would mean they had a running motor!)

I vote for a builders forum too!  If you are not building you should not post in that forum.

Ben, did you get any further with your small wheel setup? I was wondering if you posted anymore video.  I took a skateboard wheel and drilled in two rows of magnets similar to you, once populated I could not get a full rotation from the setup. The gate looked promising until the ring was completed. My magnets arrived today so I plan to build a large wheel setup.


I also agree there should be a strict builders only forum. It's too exhausting ploughing through this number of threads for a little bit here and there of builder information.

Hi Queue,

Damn good video, but I agree with your assessment.  What are we missing??  You wheel is obviously MOST EXCELLENT, magnets placed excellent.....what are we missing??

@queue,

It would be good if you could try to have the front of the 2nd-video-clusters (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYGaXgQWj6o) approach the stator while moving. One can imagine that if there's no barrier to that and the wheel would proceed to turn there can be another set (of magnets, not cooperating w/ the first set) on the other side of the wheel which would do the same. I know its hard to try all these proposals but it's just a suggestion which you might wanna try at a suitable moment.
