Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[LightRider]

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.

You're right Grimer, the interpretation of data can be diverse, and pre-oriented. Thank you for your point of view.
As I said before, I added to the graphics this note: the data include a margin of error and are based on some estimates. These tests are for fun only and are in no way a rigorous scientific approach.

Amazing. If this beautiful analysis is right (which I assume is) is not that strange that the motor accelerates when the camera is not showing the motor???

Fausto.

Thanks Fausto,
   
In the first version of the engine Mylow analyzed, there are several variations of accelerations and decelerations to which appears not constant and not linear. In the latest version of the engine Mylow analyzed, there are also what appear to be non-constancy and non-linearity of changes in speed. The smallest (in time) video analyzed leaves much room for interpretation with lack of data. Finally, as already said, the interpretation of data can be diverse, and pre-oriented. Thank,

This section is when Mylow begins talking on the video.  The graph appears to show nothing more than a rundown of a flywheel.

This interpretation seems to make sense with the data from the graphic.
Thanks,

I agree with your interpretation entirely pinestone. In my view the evidence from the "bed" video alone together with Lightrider's data is quite sufficient to convince me that Mylow is honest a genuine. He has been got at but I'm sure we will see him back somewhere. He doesn't seem a quitter to me. On the contrary.

i also noticed the distance of the stator in the new 7-6 config right away. Giving my disk a spin --  i tried holding my own stator by hand and closing my eyes to better feel the rotors passing array fields. At that distance the ripple in the stator magnet as the rotor arrays pass by was indiscernible.

Holding the stator close as in the Mylow's first video one can definitely feel the ripple vibration in the stator caused by the passing rotor array fields. i'm sure the fields still do interact when the stator is further away like that but the effect is so small that my hand cannot feel it at all.

Acute observation Pinestone :-)

I think Mylow's motor could/did work. When I saw his video using iron filings it occurred to me that the 'wave' of magnetism could lead to FE resonance.

"FMR arises from the precessional motion of a ferromagnetic material in an external magnetic field. The magnetic field puts a torque on the magnetization which causes the magnetic moment to precess. The precession frequency depends on the orientation of the material and the strength of the magnetic field."

wiki- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferromagnetic_resonance

This resonance, combined with the caloric transfer mentioned earlier in this thread could provide additional energy to repel or attract the sequence of PM's on the rotor. And, the degradation of the stator magnet seems to correspond with the experiments performed by others- (as in the emails that duff just posted).

Personally, I doubt magnet shape has little to do with this phenomenon.
The magnets field can be modified simply by attaching steel or iron pieces to conventional cylinder or rectangular magnets.

I truly wish I could replicate. Unfortunately, my business, another project, taxes, death of a friend and a family member in the hospital have taken all my spare time.
