Can you take a picture of your wheel looking sideways so we can see how you made the base. I think this base thing is very important and would like to see guys doing their replications and with the type of base they have and see if there is a relationship to a successful build with or without the exact Mylow base. My build will be almost exact to Mylows.

Did Mylow give any real dimension on his actual bar magnets? In his last video he says the ones Sterling sent him from Allmagnetics model CB65 were in his opinion to small.

Spec here on the CB65;

There are so many damn magnets out there it will be very easy to make a mistake. I will take the weekend to make my final choices.

Not sure why Sterling didn't send these as they are probably closer to the original size that Mylow had ..

Bit bigger than cb65
Not sure about pricing - bet they cost more - better quality ceramic.

So the obvious conclusion is that the systematic approach that I believe in, is totally useless. 


No, wait, there's another obvious conclusion.... 

How many light bulbs did they invent and test that did not work before the one that did was found? What a dark and dismal life it would be with out those who dont give up.

Not quite the same though. Whilst it is true that it took hundreds of experiments to perfect the light bulb it is also true that ALL of them worked! The problem that had to be overcome was to create a light bulb that did not burn out after a few seconds or minutes. There was never any doubt about the working principle, it was just a quest for the optimum material.
