Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[Grimer]

@BEP,

Is it not possible to re magnetize the week iron magnet with a powerful neodymium magnet?
And, will not the neodymium magnet last for approx. 1000 years?

Groundloop.

Excellent point. Include a recharging cycle every so often to fill up the "petrol" tank and the Mylow will run till the bearings fail. Bit like one's car, really. 

Let's hope Paul is right in his analysis.

Hi All,

I have been watching this from the start.  What a wake up call!  It would be such a great help to get the motor in a lab where you could map the fields, the INTENSITY of the fields with a accurate and calibrated gauss meter, measure the torque generated, it just goes on and on.  Due to the material makeup of the stator, it would be so easy to wind a coil around the center of it and literally add to or subtract from the total field and see what was the optimum field output of the device at a given distance from the rotor.  All that would take is a 100 turn coil on the stator, and a variable power supply.  That would answer a lot of questions. 

First really, there is a need to find and verify a usable source of the "Bracket" magnets and the "U" magnet THAT WILL WORK IN A REPLICATION.  There is so much interaction and variables going on here, that it is going to drive us up the wall to replicate this with any hope of success.

Based on what I see, it gives me several ideas or variations on what he has done that might have merit.  I'm sure other creative folk on this list has also had their creative juices "tweaked" by these developments.

I certainly hope that "M", who appeared totally flustered by the results of the compass which destroyed his basic theory as to how it worked over the years did not cause him to fall into despondency and that was why he pulled the videos.  It appears that it works, theory as to why?  Who knows.  Once you have a working model, you can figure out why!!!!!  My hat is off to him for his persistence and creativity over the years to not let his dream go away.

Thanks to the folk that put the videos back up on YouTube it keeps the flame alive.

@Grimer,

If you put two iron stator magnets onto a revolving disc and let one drive the motor
while the other is close to the neo magnet. Then after 12 hours or so, you just rotate
the disk so that a new fresh stator magnet drives the motor. A small stepper motor
comes to mind here for controlling the disc. There is many engineering ways to
solve that problem.

Absolutely right.

I read the whole thread from the beginning and I seem to remember that Omnibus pointed out more than once that it didn't matter if the stator magnet decreased in strength, though he didn't say just why as you have so graphically done.

Unfortunately, some of you guys can be extremely rude, and even crossing lines that I would not allow if I was moderating this site.  You'd be out of there if I was in charge...

I agree.

If Stefan does not start to do some moderating, then he is going to wake up
one morning and find that the site is dead; everyone has migrated to a similar site
where abuse is not allowed. The amount of bandwidth used up by rubbish is
beyond belief. This board is becoming an incoherent rabble, and no basis for serious
research.
