Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[PaulLowrance]

Legit researchers replicating the mylow machine should note that some stainless steels are non-magnetic. Martensitic stainless steel is indeed magnetic.

@CLaNZeR,

I don't see why it wouldn't work for iron as well.

This unit requires no power, in other words it probably has a couple of Neo's in it that will indeed re-magnetise Alnico.

Stroke a Neo across a piece of Iron in one direction and it will indeed magnetise it, how long will it last? try it.

Not an expert with materials and their properties but why Advertise a unit for Alnico only?

[PaulLowrance]

Also legit researchers should consider laminating the core. Perhaps thin hardened steel nails coated with paint bunched together.

I frankly do not still have made up my mind...

Same here. It's still highly questionable. I would not spend the time & money replicating it until he can at least allow a notable scientist analyze it, and the main reason for saying that is because the stator magnet degausses, but there are other reasons.

An acquaintance who is an expert on manufacture and behavior of magnets told me:

"Regular Iron magnets [like the stator] are generally older versions of Alnico, so even less coercivity, therefore less field required to re-magnetise.  The field from the Alnico rotors seem sufficient in pushing the stator down its curve, and it not recovering. . . . It would be a useful and perhaps cost saving excercise for Mylow to put a couple of weak Neo discs or hard Ferrite on the limbs of his stator, one N, the other S, . . . open the airgap between stator / rotor to not de-magnetise his rotor Alnicos and see what happens."

- and -

"He says he tests the polarity of the rotor Horseshoes by putting a bar magnet in repulsion to each one. I don't know what material the bar magnet is but this may potentially de-magnetise the rotor Alnicos a touch. As soon as these things are in open circuit, without their keeper plate, they are in danger of losses from stray fields, even the way they are set up next to each other on the Alum disc, same pole, can cause losses."
