Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[slapper]

Just got off the phone with allmagnetics.com that seems to have provided what appears to be the closest match to the channel/bridge magnets that MyLow uses.

The part number I used was ACH79 for the rotor magnets and either HS3702 or HS811N for the stator. Pretty much all the c magnets are discontinued and are
no longer in stock. Something about cobalt material being in short supply or expensive. But they will do a special order if you've got thousands of dollars available
for tooling. This can mean a healthy lead time as well.

The HS3702 was also discontinued but it appears that the HS811N is still in stock. Didn't bother to pursue the stator magnets much since there is an issue
with the rotor mags.

Take care.

Hi All,

There is an interesting mail in Naudin's Yahoo mail group on  HJ's early patent application:

For those who cannot see the content, here is the mail:

"The problem with Howard Johnson motor is that it produced no horsepower and if
you touched it, it stopped...".

In that case, it was generating power to overcome friction and wind resistance. Not much, maybe, but
withourt doubt, some power.

The problem then becomes one of scaling in order to produce a device which is useful.

Some notes need to be taken from the audio interview.  I noticed a few things not previously mentioned in his videos or other communications.

I took a 1/4 thick piece of iron and made the C shape and then magnetized it top of C to bottom
of C lengthwise and then checked it with a compass and it has similar properties to Mylow's rotor magnets. I suspect the shape contributes to this anomalie.


Its easy. Try it yourself.

I assume I am missing something here and I know the "devil is in the detail" but maybe someone could explain this to me. Mylow shows in one of his videos the device working using 5 rectangular magnets. The stator magnet pulls it very smothly and the 5 magnets exit  easily without any obvious evidence of a jerking motion which would be an indication of going through the "stickey spot".
If this works (as his video shows that it does) what is the need of the c magnets?
