Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[TinselKoala]

Well, impressive indeed. A lot can happen between one "last" video and the next one, I see.
I don't agree that it was better than "al's" video, but perhaps I'm a little biased.
The usual objections have been stated so I won't repeat them. Some of my list of possible fakery methods will have to be crossed off, but not all of them.

I here and now repeat the One Thousand Dollar challenge: Have 2 scientists or engineers from U of C examine the device and state on camera that it is as Mylow represents, and I will immediately send that kilobuck to Mylow, or wherever he directs, like his favorite charity or pet food store.

Meanwhile, I am continuing to gather very real and reproducible data on the behavior of magnet arrangements in a Mylow-type device. I've tried many, with both rundowns from a known RPM and the weighted-string method, and I have not seen any indications of any arrangement that produces the least amount of NET thrust so that the wheel runs longer or farther (or faster when driven by constant power) with magnets than without.
Does Anybody have any arrangement of magnets that does so? (Except for Mylow, that is?)

I'll agree with wattsup--this is an enormous waste of talent. But I'm always willing to be proven wrong.

@nyctuber and @WilbyInebriated your last spat was totally disgusting (now removed) and I can only tell you that you will be banned form this topic. @nyctuber you cannot be trusted, sorry.

i agree, i should have not said anything. i lost all patience after 270 pages of nyctuber's flip flopping sides every ten posts. he's shown himself to be a liar with zero integrity and that is an anathema to me. but that's no excuse, my bad. i offer this as a mea culpa.

Of course the video is impressive, the most important component is his willingness to show himself. Mylow, you have crossed over the bridge by wanting to show you!
Now the next step would be to allow the device to be view by any number of people to validate its operation.
You have gone this far don't stop now. In the final analysis its still just a you tube video. Please take the next step!

@TK

I really hope, with your knowledge and equipment at your disposal you will be one of the first to replicate MyLow's discovery and confirm it as genuine. The last video is not only believable, it also showed how frustrated he was towards the end and I don't think that was play acting either. He's obviously ticked off and quite rightly so.

There comes a time when we (as humans) realize we have perhaps wronged someone and should be man enough to apologize. I sincerely hope MyLow will continue to post other discoveries.

cheers

@pinestone...

but surely if I sat on my stationary bike and pumped for 24hrs straight, it would be enough to light a lightbulb for a few hours, wouldn't it?

i mean, i know we'll need to scale this thing up to be as large as my bathroom, but you're saying it will be impossible to take electricity or work out of it at all?

that doesn't make sense...

Putting a load on the generator circuit is the equivalent of applying friction...
Most of the generated current is dissipated as heat.

In your example, the light bulb is the load. If you removed the light from your bicycle generator, it would be much easier to pedal.
The greater the load (low impedance), the more work you will have to do.

I'm not saying Mylow's invention couldn't generate electricity or do real work, but in it's current form-factor, I doubt it would.

It might make a good fan...
