Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

Don't waste your time or money -IT DOES NOT WORK, IT NEVER DID WORK AND IT NEVER WILL WORK.
Mylow keeps whining about all the terrible people on youtube and overunity.com how we are all so critical of him.
Come on Mylow show your device on your front lawn, in your drive way, on the floor of the living room, on the ground anywhere, come on what are you afraid of. Make us all beg your forgiveness for doubting you and I would be the first one to do so!

@TK...

well given your broad experience, how would you recommend cheaping this up so that we can get into the $500 range and still experiment on the key factors?

Let's brainstorm some.
Why aluminum? Why not good old steel?
Those motors I make for model airplanes are only 25% as powerful with a flux ring made out of aluminum. I tried it more than once. I found 4140 worked best for those flux rings.
Next reason, no gluing. let those magnets go for a ride without glue. they are so easy to move that way.
Try neo mags. http://www.rare-earth-magnets.com/detail-ID-115.html
Try a smaller rotor. say 8-10 inches X .125-.187 thick. something we can make in a small lathe.
now the stator magnet. Why a horseshoe magnet? the distance between poles is fixed.
Use 1"wide plate of varying lengths. use two of those same magnets and stick em on. (One north, one south)they move into different positions pretty easy. (no glue)use a bigger stator plate, put two sets on there mimicking two horseshoe mags.
Now most important, I still think the stator needs to be able to wiggle or oscillate with respect to the array of rotor mags. (either a continuous even array or uneven to really make the stator more lively.) So mount the stator with a spring, or rubber cushion so it can wiggle a bit. try a variety of stator springs.

Did any of this pipe dream stuff give anybody any ideas to expand upon?

2 more cents, I still see mud slinging. What do you guys do for a living? work for the oil industry? Stop it for a while. Take a month off. OK?  John

RS rotor magnet:

Possible RS#640-1877

Measures 1-7/8 x 7/8 x 3/8 inches

Poles are at each 1-7/8 x 7/8 face

According to an old friend (still there) this one hasn't changed since 1988. None before fit the description.

Also no detailed specs, the RS website has bad info on dimensions and there have been over a dozen different suppliers to RS over the years.

Allied Radio Electronics (formerly linked to RS) had the same part numbers but a wider variety.

I have a bag of 10 (owned a couple of RS's in the day) left over from stored inventory. Compared them to visual identicals at Lowe's. There is almost no strength difference (used my clamp-on DC meter)

Aluminum because the reactions to a moving flux are wildly different. Ferrous material simply shorts or redirects the flux. It doesn't matter if their is a relational movement or not.

The only time aluminum exhibits those qualities(?) is when there is relational movement. Of course it is paramagnetic so there is always some attraction.

I suggest you throw out any ideas this is related to a copper wound motor.

There was a time I spewed the wonders of aluminum but that has ended. If folks want to know I tell them to experiment and figure it out. If you can then tell the difference between copper and aluminum (magnetically) then you may be on the right track.
None of it is magic or fringe science. It just isn't well known, even though electrical products have used these wonders for over a hundred years.
When you can connect the info to the non-Faraday's Paradox.....

Still, I got slammed once too often.


Brainstorming here is not a good thing. The PC heroes and book vomiters will wipe out the conversation.
