Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[CLaNZeR]

Thanks, Sean, when you call me mad, I know I've accomplished something.

Now, would you like me to run it upstairs and around a corner?
If I used even lighter line, would that make the tension more or less, or just the same?

I get pretty much instant reversals at speed, too, even over that distance. These new monofilaments don't stretch much at all.

Thanks TK saves me having to do it to prove a point.

If you held the disk, does the motor explode? or does the Cat Gut just slide on the smooth aluminium?

The whole point of FE/OU guys that make claims is that they really need to prove it.

If I ever do discover something that works, it will be setup in the middle of a field, suspended in the air with no possibility of faking involved, along with witness's I dragged over from the local Bus Station to back it up 

I really hope Mylow is for real, but he needs to look at these claims against him and debunk these claims that he is faking it, if only for his own personal pride.

But then on the other hand Mylow has Freewill and can just walk away.

It very difficult as you want to support someone that claims they have discovered the Holy Grail and you are prepared at own cost and time to back them up. But at the same time you have P*ss takers out there, that love to wind FE/OU replicators and researchers up and enjoy seeing us scurry around like Squirrels collecting nuts hehe


Still trying to stay opem minded but got to agree, the evidence is strong on this possibility of away of it being faked.

G'day all,

I know many of you think this thread is going to die right here. Somehow I think it will not.

All Mylow has to do is to show his "motor" running and show there is no fishing line, by waking around it or something of that nature, and the whole thing will be on the agenda again stronger than ever.

My guess is he will do just that. He will put on one of his periodic disappearing acts blaming the skeptics for his mental and or physical state, long enough to re-build the thing without string, and then launch a new video.

All his supporters will come out of the woodwork saying "I told you it was real" and everything will continue along its happy way.

The reason for failed replications will be that Mylow has some extraordinary talent for sensing the interaction of the magnetic fields which enables him to find those critical spots vital to the operation. This has already been suggested.

Anyone like to lay odds on my prediction?

At least of nothing else, I found an unusual effect that I don't know what to do with but I can add it to the list of things to examine.

Thanks Mylow!

Wouldn't it be ironic if Mylows videos were real and the fake videos were fake... You just can't trust video you know.

Nice video, Sterling owes you the prize now!

RE the line, Touko might see it, but without you showing it, nobody else could.

Did you have to degrease the rotor or rough up the line or anything special like that? And was it multiple wraps around each pulley or just a plain loop round the lot?

[TinselKoala]

@Sean: Yep, slips just fine. I'd recommend not using a pulley on the motor, the v-groove catches the invisible knot and causes a little sound. Rather, use a flanged drum to give the line a little sideways room as it winds around.
New video showing long-range reversing up now.

@Bill: ROTFL, you don't like lie-yers much either, I can tell.


@Hans: I think there might be other, even less savory possibilities, and I'm beginning to worry about those.
