Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[chrisC]

Did you not notice's TK's comment that his 'results' should be taken with a liberal grain of salt? He's publishing it under 'alt.snakeoil' for God's sake. I think the guy just gets off on mocking Mylow. Seems like an utter creep.

Well, give him the benefit of the doubt. Why would anyone go through all these efforts to mock someone else? He may have been skeptical at first but I think he has discovered some truths too and he's just trying to make sure he has enough data points to prove or disprove the theories.
Time will tell but I see the videos & torque as real. Didn't you?

Why would anything he's showing under the category of snake oil be real.

I have not logged-on here at OU for weeks, (if not months.)  Today is the first day that I have seen Mylow's device.  With over two-thousand replies so far, I have not had a chance to read every one.  So, I apologize if my following thought has already been mentioned:


If I allow two magnets to naturally attract to one another, with a N-S at one side and a S-N at the other, (not simply a N-S face orientation,) and then I twist the two magnets 90 degrees out of alignment with my fingers, I can feel a torque between them wanting to twist them back into the original attraction configuration.  I think this is the simple key to Mylow's device.

He prevents them from torquing back into position by securing them, one in a fixed position, (the stator,) and many on a flat plane allowed to flow past the stator.  Each magnet glued on the plate wants to twist just a little bit to align with the stator magnet and, as a result, it ends-up moving the plate just a little bit, bringing the next magnet into a position to want to twist.  But none of them can twist because of the orientation of the plate, so each magnet moves the plate just a little bit and then they all add-up to a rotation of the plate.  Simple.


I generally have no faith in permanent magnet motors.  This torque of which I speak is most likely mitigated by the sum total of the approach and departure forces to the stator magnet.  But, I thought I might throw-in my two cents to be buried with another two thousand replies.

Thanks for noticing. 

Hey Rosphere,
  I have read all two thousand replies and your theory has never been mentioned. Sounds like one that needs to be investigated.

What shocks me the most is that someone understood what I wrote without my having to make a series of three dimensional images.

Thank you.

TK is one of four people that have taken the time, effort, and money to replicate Mylows claim, and publish his findings. Straight up.
