Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[sterlinga]

I spoke with Mylow's brother today as the two of them were driving to Mylow's place.

It turns out that his brother is a twin and sounds nearly identical to Mylow.

Mylow's brother graduated from the University of Illinois, and is an engineer, so he is ideal to help Mylow out with some of the particulars involved here.

I'll call him Mylobro, for short, to preserve his identity for now.

Mylobro has not yet seen the motor in person.  He's only seen the YouTube videos.

"I was very skeptical," he said, about when Mylow first told him about what he had done.  But there were the videos and they were quite convincing.

He had as much anticipation in his voice as a child five miles away from Disneyland.  It's one thing to see it on video.  It's another to see it in person.  "I think he [may have] stumbled onto the holy grail."

The motor was disassembled two days ago, so they will need to reassemble it first.

Mylobro has a camera and instruments to document the process.  He said he would be uploading those to YouTube.  He also has access to a Gauss meter, an impact gauge, and an infetrometer (sp?) -- a special video camera that can record fluxing magnetic fields in real time.

He is very analytical, and will be showing the motor from all key angles, to satisfy the skeptic.

He will be talking to some people at the University about getting additional scientific corroboration.

I also asked him about if he could make more aluminum rotor discs and bearing assemblies.  He said that he could, through ___ (? I didn't catch that).  I asked him to get us some pricing and lead times so we could send him some orders from those who might not be able to do that stuff themselves.

He said that the rotor was cut out of a stock of sheet panel, (? I may have those words jumbled); aircraft aluminum, high grade.  He cut it on a band saw, then put it on a lathe with a new blade to get the ~18-inch diameter.

On the bearing assembly, he bore out a hole from an aluminum cylinder, using a programmable CNC, and placed the bearings inside.

They hung up when they arrived at Mylow's place.  He said he would call back later.

One of these days, Mylow is going to squeeze in some sleep.  He said he stayed up last night again.

Yesterday when I called him, I thought I woke him up from a nap in the afternoon, his voice was so groggy, but he was in line at a bank.

Take care of yourself, Mylow.

Greetings CLaNZeR and all

The weekness of the iron magnet is interesting, When I did my wheel back in 1974 for a science project. I was using iron magnets as well. This got me thinking about a magnetic field test I did on Youtube.

The attraction seem to be redirected and that may be what is happening here. The natural attraction of the iron and the week magnetic field may be being used by the other magnets more for a redirect effect.

Hi Alan,
Hmm,
very strange, the ball does stick only to the iron bar, if both are located over the magnets under the glas table ? Very strange..

So you want millions of people spending their hard earned money and time building the machine after we find out it's not COP > 1? Hmmm. How sick is that!

I'll say it again, and please don't chop out half my statement. The testers should verify if mylow's machine is over COP 1.

Paul,
Actually, I think most people here would rather you don't post anything unless it is relevant. Maybe you can go back to your academic ivory tower and work out all the detailed math. and physics and then come back to our practical discussions when at least one other person has successfully repeated myLow's experiment. then perhaps you can contribute your far fetching math. and academic records. Fair?

cheers

Sounds like sterlinga has all the ducks in a row!!
What the hell are we going to complain about now??

@ramset,

What the hell are we going to complain about now??

So, we're all set. Is that what you imply? No, we're not. We're as much at the beginning as ever, if this is a charade, Mylobro real or otherwise. No one (even his own bro) has seen the motor much less witnessed it spinning on its own. No replicas yet. Hope that'll change soon but as of today @sterlinga's input is less than reassuring, as has always been.
