Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[BEP]

Everyone has a different opinion of who is trusted. When it comes to these matters there is only one I trust, myself.

I could be sharing coffee with this guy before I finished my first cup. Not going to happen....

If he asks me to help beat the fruitcakes and knowitalls away from his windows, I might comply.

I'm sure he wants to understand what he has and what it means for him and his family. That will not happen now. Once the world is in your face you are done.

So far he's shown remarkable good will and compliance with demand. By now, I would have told most of you to stuff it.

BTW:
Death threats are OU. They come from everywhere and nowhere. Now, they seem to be generated by internet activity. I'm sure for every one of you there are 5 folks out there with the opinion inventors like this should be buried. And these are just the fanatics. Forget big oil. Big oil doesn't need to worry about the light work.

If you don't believe this then simply invent something useful in this category. Then announce it on the internet. If folks think your invention is useful - the emails will begin.

Hi All,

As a physicist who claims miracles it is not for me to say if this is true or false, however I want to put forward an observation, or two.

magnetocaloric effect is a method that can be used to refrigerate.

I am concerned before this thing upsets to many to suggest to the inventor that the lamp is turned off and replaced with a cool even light.

The light to the left clearly is a source of energy (heat) and there is a differential across the plate and magnets closer to the lamp must be a fraction of a degree warmer.

If one was to consider the magnetcaloric effect as a thermodynamic process (see wikipedia) then a temp difference of say 0.1deg c would be enough to have say 10watts of lamp radiant energy converted to a few milliwatts of work. This is not a lot but would (could) be sufficient to overcome friction if he has used excellent bearings.

So what I am saying is that he reshoot his video but with a none heat source illumination such as ceiling low wattage neons.

If he does that then he has to my mind taken out the obvious area of concern to a scientist.

Hi All,

Somewhat silly of me to say "the light to the left", clearly it is to the right.

Feeble excuse now.... when we watch it in Australia everything is reversed.

Phil regardless of the light's position. This has to be one of the most far fetched reason of working I've ever heard. What's next? The dog was using telekinesis to spin it so it has to be done with the dog at least 1 mile far away? It's obvious that 90% of the people here will not try to replicate it and rather wait until they can buy a complete setup from walmart. So why bother with the "intellectual" talk if you aren't going to do anything with it.

I suspect that the stator magnet loosing it's alignment or magnetic ability, and the reason the motor runs are probably related issues.  I would guess that the stator magnet having a pinning material that holds the magnetic particles in place (being weaker than the rotor mags) may be acting as a "flex" point that allows the motor to run for a while.  It will continue to run until the pinning material no longer holds the magnetic particles in alignment and then the stator magnet strength is weakened to the point that the motor will not continue to run.  Just a guess, but if a different magnet that is stronger and more permanent is used for the stator, but the motor does not run, it may indicate the reason why the motor is able to work.
