Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

@ nyctuber

I actually did try both velcro and 3M double sided sticky tape. The Velcro option made it easier to pull out and stick back but because they don't hold the magnets firmly in place, a strong magnetic field will twist some magnets to some offset and thereby whatever you tried to align is no longer valid. Same thing with the 3M double sided tape, which worked surprisingly well until you need to make changes more than a couple of times!
Finally, I decided to use super glue. Noting bonds that well but of course when you're not sure of the final position, it can be messy and difficult to remove!

Was it industrial velcro? It's 50% stronger than regular velcro

I don't know. The box said: 3' (feet) by 1" (inch). Ultra Thin. Superior strength etc.
I think the problem is NOT the inability to stick and hold as much as it is the problem of the relative small amount of surface area of the magnets that needed to be stuck together that is the problem. The small area makes it very difficult to correctly position the fibrous part of the Velcro correctly. Perhaps I am not a good handyman!

Thanks,

Analysis of Mylow video #7 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7PZ18uTPCg)
Note # 1 moving video camera.
Note # 2 the movie have 1612 frames (1 frames = aprox. 0.04s)
Note # 3 Frames 0 to 641 not usable
Note # 4 Frames 642 to 966 the rotor make 4 full revolutions : 1 rev. in 67 frames, 2 rev. in 70 frames, 3 rev. in 73 frames and 4 rev. in 80 frames. **So each round takes longer (deceleration).
Note # 5 Frames 967 to 1335 Mylow turn around and show his bed for aprox.368 frames. not usable.
Note # 6 Frames 1336 to 1472 the rotor make 2 full revolutions : 1 rev. in 66 frames and 2 rev. in 70 frames.**So each round takes longer (deceleration).
Note # 7 While the camera caught the bed, the revolutions of the engine accelerated.
Thanks,

The unstated implication of your data is that the rotor is slowing down and that while the camera panned away to the bed Mylow gave it a surreptitious nudge.

Fortunately such an interpretation won't wash.

Clearly your assessment of where a rotation begins and ends is suspect. This is shown by the large change between 73 frames and 80 frames.

Also we would have to suppose that Mylo was capable of nudging the rotor by just the right amount which is totally unbelievable. Even if he had an accurate rpm meter he would have a hell a job to get a slowing rotor back to around 70 when he refocused the camera on the rotor.

The fact that we get back to the order of 70 frames after 368 frames not usable, proves to me that the rotor is going at a constant speed and that Mylow is completely vindicated by your data.

I feel you may have approached the analysis with preconceived ideas. But thanks for the data. Nobody could say it was produced by someone prejudiced in Mylow's favour.

Hi,

I'm still waiting for my magnets to come.
I have some idea to try by those brave replicators, out there.
Especially CLaNZeR, because I've spotted very nice Halbach setup, that he may still have around.
(BTW. Sorry CLaNZeR for copying some of your pictures)

Please have a look if there will be any effect if replacing stator magnet with Halbach bar array.

Jpeg illustrating the idea attached.

best regards,

Weird speculation:

The transient is important, even in a moving magnet there is induced current.

This current cancel the magnetic effect and increase the temperature also by the magneto_caloric effect.
Then the magnet is like a metallic objet â€" a piece of metal â€" it doesn’t resist to the rotation.
The temperature then will reduce fast the magnet increase is power and now the effect is to push forward the wheel.

The speed is function of this transient and cannot increase too much, then the rotational speed remains constant, the side effect is the reducing of magnet temperature.

The work is obtained by subtracting the ambient energy.
