Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[Omnibus]

@Reiyuki,

(like ocmpmm/whipmag)

Don't even mention this stupidity. What an elaborate scam. A hillbilly used by a scammer to make the good people trying to do research look like fools. That's one of the most disgusting episodes in the history of the overunity devices and Steorn still allow it in their forum. Repulsive. If you think the current one is like that we should give it up at once, right at this moment.

What's the big deal here?  Just let mylow do what he said he's going to try and do -->

1. Video the machine on a glass table. This will address one main issues.
2. Let a reputable and open-minded qualified scientist analyze his machine.

Until that happens, remain calm, don't get your hopes up, and just sit back and watch the show folks.

If faked and the power source is hidden, then the closeups don't matter.  If someone suggests he's spinning it with his hand in the closeups, please look carefully at 2:20 to 3:20 of video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqavYG6beSo.  It would be almost unbelievably hard to spin it by hand so smoothly and with what seems to be so consistent with the magnets themselves pulling the disc.  Especially while holding a video camera in the other hand?

I agree that looks very realistic, and it's hard to see how he could have spun it up by hand. On balance though, I still think it is a fake based on his reluctance to show the thing running for more than 10 or 20 seconds.

Let's see it running for 5 minutes and then it might be worth spending time and money on a replication (unless you just like trying this stuff out).

if it's faked I'm sure that he's using a small eletric motor hidden in the driveshaft.
there are some suspicious noises in his videos, but they could stem from the outside (cars, other eletric devices, etc). The only solution is, as sayed before, to visit this guy and :
- take some high quality shots and videos
- require to move the device and to start it by yourself
- take apart the device and take a detailed look at the driveshaft
and then you can replicate being pretty sure that you are not wasting your time/money !
