Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[queue]

Been trying out some different stators and field orientations with my disk today.
Just uploaded the first video .. will probably get a couple more hours in today.

Not sure how the jerkiness got into the youtube version  .. it's very smooth in the original file ? ? ..
seems to have appeared in the online version after Youtube processed it. 

i filmed it in 640 480 30 fps ..
Anyway .. guess i'll find out soon enough if my disk win spin like his.

It's here on Youtube ..

Howdy,

All I am trying to show is that the gate works when pre-loaded loaded. You have found the same thing.  I also suspect my wheel is too small and there is a lot of interaction between the front and back of the magnets and the U stator magnet.  A large wheel like MYLOWS might be necessary to keep the magnetic isolaition intact.  I think I know where to get magnets here in St. Pete, FL.  IF the simple 3 magnet rotor/stator gate when loaded can push another set of magnets into the gate upon it's exit via. induced energy, we are home free.  But then again, nothing is ever as simple as it seems!  I must build a new larger wheel!  That takes time!

Hi Ben.

Great Youtube! Your setup is nearly identical to my Popsicle motor, except my son would not let me drill into his skate board wheels. I got the same result, two rows of magnets all with the south pole facing out. Instead of using a horse shoe magnet I used a bar magnet orthogonal to the rotor magnets. My gate worked just the same way. Reversing the polarity of the stator magnet change the direction of rotation. Like you I ran out of button magnets and am waiting for a delivery to get this thing completed. I think you would agree, this configuration is quick and easy to build and much less expensive than Mylows machine. Mine seemed to be a self starter, probably because I brought my stator magnet up to the rotor. I think I know why one can get rotation out of this configuration, but I do not what to jump the gun here.

Some cold-hearted, shortsighted person on another forum said:

While I think that is way out of line, I still cannot quite understand why mylow didn't make a 5 or 10-minute video during that 20-hour run.

I am sure there is a good reason, but I cannot think what it is.

It is also a bit puzzling as to why he took the whole thing apart when he already had achieved OU, and is now struggling to get it working again.

Well, no doubt it will soon be working and we will finally have a good 10-minute video, maybe a webcam; and even if mylow has problems, there are enough people working on replications so that we should see some OU soon. Along with everyone else, I am looking forward to what Clanzer comes up with this weekend.

Good questions. I also remember how upset he was when allegations popped up that he may not be truthful. He replied something of the sort that it would be ridiculous for him to lie because if he did it would still become obvious. How true. And yet, indeed, why isn't he showing that crucial 10min video?

Anyway, looking forward to seeing @CLaNZeR's weekend videos. Good luck @CLaNZeR.

No, he specifically shouldn't do that because it will immediately compromise it in the eyes of the critics who are ready to dismiss it anyway and would catch at any possible straw to denounce it. Mylow should start it the way he is starting it now. This is a self-starter if everything else is as claimed.

My point is to stop him from trying to "improve" on his design at the moment and to get back to what was working for others to continue analyzing...

The circuit and stuff I mentioned was for after getting his original motor back up and running.

Thanks @queue, seems promising. Look forward to watch the behavior of the full set around the rim. Good luck.
