Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[queue]

@queue,

That's worrisome. That initial barrier may kill the project. However, I still don't understand how is it that when the N's of the rotor have their first encounter w/ the S of the stator (consider this stator's disposition first) there should be a barrier. My understanding is there shouldn't be. Also (at this same disposition of the stator) the exiting N's of the rotor should be repelled by the trailing N of the stator and there should be no barrier either. Now, if you flip the stator over then it will be unfavorable at both ends.

Perhaps you are not visualizing the fields correctly.
Depending on which way you rotate the rotor CW or CCW,  each rotor segment will meet the Stator on either it's N or S pole side.

CW
When the Rotor's(N) meets the stators south it's attracted into the stator's field  and then pulled back towards the stator at the end of each segment as it tries to move away.

CCW
When the Rotor's(N) meets the stators North side pole then the rotor segment is pushed back before entering the stator field and then pushed away when leaving.

All my current stators are Alinco ( Aluminum - Nickle - Cobalt ) . .

i asked Sterling this morning to send me specs on Mylows new stator but he has not answered me yet .

i would be happy to purchase one to test with it -  the same stator Mylow is using that is.
Waiting for an answer to my query in this regard from either Mylow or Sterling.. 

Hi Queue:

You mentioned in a earlier post you bought the rotor magnets from
http://www.eclipse-magnetics.co.uk/

Can you tell us which part number are those and how much they cost?

Thanks

Correct. Therefore, there shouldn't be an entrance barrier. Then it proceeds to clear all the mag clusters and finally exits freely (there shouldn't be an exit barrier either). Of course, if that's what the stator-rotor disposition in your first video is. It seems to me with the stator the other way around there will be hindrance on both ends. Of course, this is a very simplistic picture because the cooperation between these clusters of magnets may give rise to a much more complicated form of the field. One thing is clear from your second video, however, the whole distance where the rotor magnets are is cleared and the exiting meets no barrier. What I haven't seen in an experiment is whether or not there is an entry barrier. I guess you said there is but then, at least for me, there's not much hope. Easy-suck-in, easy-spit-out is what we're looking for and my hope was Mylow was it but it appears it isn't as of this moment. Of course, success may be due to proper configuring it or using the right stator magnets. Maybe @sterlinga could send you one of these stator magnet he sent to Mylow which Mylow found were working or maybe tell you where to get them. You're doing a terrific job, I shouldn't forget to mention.

Any news from Mylow ?
Anyone...
