Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

All the rotor magnet poles that are facing the aluminum plate, are delayed response while the top pole have the usual response.

How do you delay the responce to magnetic flux? Right now I look like a dog with his head cocked to one side. huh?

If you take a large 3" diameter neo magnet and drop it flat onto a 1" thick aluminum plate, it will land softly. This is because the field increasing rapidly causes currents in the plate that create a field in the opposite direction. Now if you let the magnet sit on the plate and try to remove it rapidly, it will again resist the collapsing field in the same manner. This is actually a delay to the field passing through the plate in either direction. If the magnet just sets there the field will be just as strong as usual since the aluminum plate only affects a changing field.

I am convinced that it would not run without the aluminum plate.

@que n clanzer, these bars are n up s down or vise versa, poles are not on ends, I'm curious about the dc stator mag, that he is using, maybe time for another compass video via Mylow?

@TK, Have you any luck with dc motor mags ( bannana flavored) with correct pole position? Thanx, I would love a video!

@ PMMtester, early on in the saga, you made claim to the grade of AL of the disk that was quoted Sterlingas site. Can you now confirm the grade? Have you seen it? Thanx

This is crazy the delay that you are referring to is called eddy currents. The aluminum will not be affected be the rotor magnets because they are stationary on the plate, HOWEVER THE ALUMINUM WILL BE AFFECTED BY EDDY CURRENTS FROM THE STATOR MAGNET WHICH WILL SLOW AND STOP THE MOTOR.
