Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

Yep, that may be the case indeed. But don't forget that the stator has to be wide enough to cover over two rotors plus the space in between place one space to the right or left.

My Rotor magnets are 8mm wide and 8mm gap between two of them, so total span is 24mm and new Iron stator will be 25.4mm

Mylows seems to be 10mm wide Rotors with around 5mm gap giving him 25mm and his Stator is 26mm

I can always close my gap by 0.4mm

The most interesting point about the video showing the magnets effect on iron powder:
it appears that the left side of the magnet is much weaker the the right side.
If this is true then this is the first time I have witnessed a magnet with one pole weaker then the other.
It actually looks like a one poled magnet.
According to standard magnetic theory this shouldn't be possible. As far as I know anyway.
A strange shaped magnet could have the magnetic field on one side following a different path but not weaker then the other.
If I'm wrong about this please correct me with some kind of reference, I still have lots to learn. 

Magnetic monopoles are possible according to theory:

The problem with demagnetization will always be occuring in systems where moving magnets work on repulsion basis (even though SmCo magnets are more resistant to demagnetization than others). The device would have to be redesigned to work on attraction principle to avoid demagnetization

@dragon,

The closest to a magnet “monopole” is the Halbach array: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halbach_array. At the time, it was discussed as a possibility to explain the Steorn perpetuum mobile and it very well may be that has a role in the discussed here case with regard to the shape of the fields (if Mylow’s claim is at all real). As far as the possibility for magnetic monopoles to exist according to the “theories” mentioned in your links, it is out of the question. These so-called “theories” are an outgrowth of the internally contradictory Einstein’s theory of relativity and therefore are to be rejected outright. Nothing physically consistent can come out of an internally contradictory theory.

This may only have a practical significance. Theoretically, there is no difference as to whether or not there is demagnetization. In any case, if Mylow's claim is real, this will be a perpetuum mobile. Recall that a permanent magnet is not an energy reservoir which can be discharged as a capacitor; on the contrary, demagnetization of a permanent magnet requires spending of energy rather than recovering the energy spent for the magnetization of the ferromagnetic piece.
