Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[ALFPARTS]

I'll be up front mate, the worse thing for the FE group is government, MiB, spooks, (call them what you will) conspiracy theories, they are the ones that really make this group look bad, more so than any skeptic.

That's probably of some merit but top ignore the reality of it is very naive. also, I did not intend to reduplicate a post that I had made. I assure you that it was not intentional and that I will correct it.

So, instead of "Skeptics make inaccurate replications" the true headline is more like "Accurate replications make Skeptics"?

Maybe queue got one of his magnets a few hundredths of a millimeter out of position. They are tricky things, you know, magnets: each one has to be handled as a sensitive individual or they won't cooperate. Sort of like magnet motor builders, in fact.


EDIT: I just checked the comments on Q's excellent vid. Do you note that his blank disk, without magnets, takes 21 minutes, that's twenty-one minutes, to run down from 200 rpm? That's longer than most "working" magnet motors have been observed to work continuously, even HJ's original rotary device. Even Mylow's magic motors.

But he is already being accused of not getting the dimensions right. Is a 17 3/8 inch disk significantly different from an 18 inch disk, enough to make it not run? Is a 0.01 millimeter discrepancy in magnet position enough to make it not run? Apparently. "Please reposition the magnets and try again" says a commenter, who clearly has never glued a magnet to a disk and has no idea what a hundredth of a millimeter is.

Or maybe there's another reason it doesn't run.

Sorry, Queue´s stators are glued ÏNCORRECTLY. Please check carefully, he should lower the lower one about 8 mm to create the correct offset.

Oh it most certainly is. But don't you have like an Archer Quinn/Mondrasek deja vu about all of this?

I can't wait until someone fakes a replication too. That should set the world on fire.

Yep, definitely deja vu all over again.
Speaking of setting the world on fire, I just accidentally overdischarged a 60 dollar LiPo battery--the darn stub axle was running so smooth I forgot about it and went to sleep. Good thing those batteries are so small...but they are expensive.

I did not watch it past the first few seconds because the gap between stator magnets were nearly twice the gap distance between the stator magnets. Kind of like sending in your yr end taxes in with out signing it. It gets kicked back till it's signed then some one will look at it.

EXACTLY. Let´s not drop the ball.

@ALFPARTS:
"Further, I am not a 'disciple' of Howard Johnson as you say."

I stand corrected, and I apologize. I didn't mean to insult, and now you have a clear example where I actually misrepresented what you said.

You in fact said you were his "gopher".

I'd rather be called a "disciple" than a go-fer, but that's just me.
