Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[canam101]

What amazes me the most is the seemingly lack of reaction force on the stator magnets. I wonder what the result would be if the stator magnets were allowed to rotate as well.

In the first video he made a few days ago, using his current youtube name, the stator was a bit loose, and every time a set of magnets on the rotor passed under it, the stator dipped a bit and made a clicking sound as the start of the set moved under it.

Yes, that was before he added the toothpicks to stiffen it up a bit.  He said some were complaining about the clicking noise and, the light being reflected off of the stator adjustment mechanism when it moved.

This rocking up and down from the rotors passing under the stators isn't the same thing as the reaction against the stator assembly that would have to come from the tangential thrust against the wheel, if the magnets were in fact propelling the wheel, and if the device didn't violate Newton.
The wheel + magnets weighs at least 4 kilograms. It takes a bit of thrust to spin that much mass up as quickly as it is shown. If the stators were pushing it, it should push back. SO, one of two things must be true: Either the stators aren't pushing it, OR it violates CofM, not to mention 2LoT. So the device, IF IT WORKS, is truly the most important scientific discovery of the last 200 years.
This only makes Mylow's story that much more implausible.

Mass in motion tends to want to stay in motion.  Mass at a stop wants to stay "stopped". (All relative to the position in space of the person observing). 

From my own observations, the stator is BOTH pushing and pulling at the same time.  One side of the stator once placed in the sweet spot wants to push the rotor and the other side of the stator wants to pull the rotor.  (in the sweet spot, it just happens that both are for the same direction)

Once past the sweet spot, the push-pull action contiues, but flip-flops back and forth anologously with a sine-wave force.  Mylow showed that force with the magnet-paper which showed the wave forms as the rotor magnets passed by.

When holding the stator magnet, I felt the same wave patterns.

What I think is happening here is that Mylow has found a way to "tune" the stator's wave to the wave form of the rotor magnets in such a way to enable what I will call "re-enforced wave mechanical mobility". 

Remember the movie "The Core".  A single explosion to restart the core was what the plan was.  But they found the viscosity too low(or too high) and their single explosion wasn't enough.  But perfectly timed small explosions would re-enforce each other to propel the wave at the correct speed/strength.  I believe this is what is happening here with Mylow's motor.

And I don't think the layout of any two stator/rotor setups will ever be the same because magnets are not equal in strength.  Each magnet will very slightly in strength.  Tuning will be necessary.
