Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[CLaNZeR]

Wow! good job on your crescent shaped magnet holder. What is the tip to tip measurement on your magnet holder there? It seems this distance and the spacing between the rotor magnets is critical in getting it to work.

The Original Patent had the armature length at 3.125" which and mine is 75mm so pretty close.

Here are a few more shots

I also think, the orientation that user Xee2 has posted is right.

To me it looks like from the compass video that all the magnets have the same orientation:
One leg of the horseshoe magnet is south and the other leg is north.
Also same applies to the runner magnets.

Also any other way makes no sense, as  these are commercial bought magnets and are not grinded by Mylow.
The commercial magnets are just polarized this way as Xee2 has shown.
Sterling, maybe you can forward this to Mylow.
He should buy a gaussmeter or use some iron filings to really see his fields.

Regards, Stefan.

The compass clearly shows that the magnets on the disk are just block magnets with the poles facing up and down.
And a notch cut into the side of them.  These are not horseshoe magnets.
A standard horseshoe magnet would have a north and south pole in the centre between the 2 legs.
He clearly shows in the video that this is not the case.
Take another look at the video at 5:22 if this was a horseshoe magnet the pointer wouldn't
point directly at the centre of that edge like it does.

Xee2's diagram is the obvious horseshoe orientation, and is how I first drew it until I saw mylow's video. Xee2's diagram would not match mylow's video. See from 2:00 to 2:10 in the video -->

See what I mean? Horseshoe PM's don't have the field coming straight out the back middle. Even mylow's alnico PM's are magnetized in a crazy manner. It's possible this crazy orientation is caused from running his Johnson machine for a long time.
