Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[ALFPARTS]

I guess I'm in the wrong line of work. I think I'll go into magnet retailing on the internet.

Good luck.

But a better bar magnet configuration is the Minato variant, using an arc magnet stator held concave side down, not up. All I have to do is perfect the stator mount, and Bob's yer Uncle, as they say...

Cool video Tensel. But it was hard to hear your narrative completely. Maybe you could cut that noise in the background, let the Thorazine wear off and speak up a little. Here you appear to be debunking but you actually have something. Someday I can see you driving down the road in your magmotor car and still saying "See, this is how they fool you"

That's a Great find!! I just might order some of those myself. The material isn't 6061 and they will require some careful deburring and touchup machining, but for a basic aluminum disk that's just a little better than scrap price, so it's a great deal.
Thanks!! (for comparison my 18x18 inch square of 1/4 inch 6061-T6 cost me about 55 dollars US (plus tax!!) and I had to make it round myself. But at least I have the 4 corners left over for something else...)

Thanks TK.   
Any suggestions on finding a bearing and assembly like yours?
For now I am using an old VHS hub.

My bearing is a standard one, should be available at your local Bearings-R-Us store.
FAG 6300.03   10 mm ID 30 mm OD 9 mm thickness
remove seals carefully and flush out all grease, lubricate with Park bicycle chain lube w/Teflon

I make a lot of the aluminum stuff out of scrap. But those VCR head bearings are great, I just don't know if they'll withstand the load. That disk with magnets will be weighing in at around 9 or ten pounds.

What I said to your comment on the YT vid:

Congratulations!
I knew you were going to say that.
Well, not You, exactly, but someone.
And maybe not precisely that, but something quite like it.

Of course I have something. And I know exactly what it is, and what to do with it.

Thanks!!
