Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[ellubpt]

Maybe the stator magnet was clicking every time it was trying to rotate from the push on one pole and the pull on the other end?
One can always find reasons why it does not work. Can you even think of one reason or principal that coud cause it to work?

Think positive, whats the worst that could happen?

I didn't say it does not work. In fact, that's the condundrum.
Why does it effortlessly spin through obvious friction without ever slowing down or speeding up?

Every type of circular disc magnet arrangement I have ever tried does cog . Even this type with the aluminum plate and all.

Now, the cog is there, I can hear it.
Why does the rotor not react, when the stator obviously does?

That is the question.

Good point but this scenario, with due respect is beyond MyLow's ability; including most of us dare I say.

hey can someone test my procurement thread to see if they can post in it? I have no idea if it's locked

  If it cogs once per rev it would have time to build momentum enough to over come it from the rest of the mass and movement around the circumference. There may also be be a flipping or twisting of the field in that spot when it is squeezed through this spot which causes it to be weaker then normally expected when it cogs.
  No mater how it comes out to be this design could really make one hell of a motor with a little added power form an other wise free source like solar,wind or thermal energy converted to electric potential (peltier). The slightest addition of energy should cause it to speed up until it flies apart. I see little to no reason the magnets could not be made out of U shaped layers of metglass or other iron core material with a little neo nestled into the bottom of the U so that different size U's could be tried out cheaply with smaller stronger magnets. It's not really a U but i dont have a keyboard key that looks like the magnets in the vid.
  Noticed the performance is or looks better on the one with two large gaps compared to the one with several large gaps between magnet sets. Have to wonder if one large gap would be better still. Add more rows and off set them so the gaps are in different places so no two gaps line up then the cog spot wont make a bit of difference.
Maybe someone already thought of this in an earlier post.I'm not reading all these posts today.
Little side note.It takes some time to find this thread still getting used to the changes.
