Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

I doubt the aluminum matters at all.

Did you see my link for you? Are you near a Metal Supermarket store? I don't think they do shipping...

Soft aluminum, like pizza pans and like that, is a real drag to work. It clogs tools and files (use chalk on your file to avoid this) and sandpaper; it grabs drill bits, it tears and gets all raggedy on you--much nicer are the harder alloys like 6061 or 7075.

Oh, you mean for a Mylow Motor. There, I would have to agree.

Look guys, get real,

Mylow's arrangement is something that has been tried over and over again for decades. Everyone found that this thing will turn, then hit a sticky spot and stop.

Things like pulse motors and so forth were used to get over the "sticky spot" to liberate the "Magnetic Force" and that did not work either.

There are very real laws of physics that predict devices of this kind cannot work.

Every now and then someone comes along that says it is just a matter of fine tuning and it will go.

A different choice of magnets, move the magnets a millimeter here or there, move the stators a bit, use different bearings etc. etc. as if these little changes would suddenly reverse the laws of physics and elevate the whole contraption into an alternate universe where these things mattered decisively.

You might as well use numerology or magic spells; it's not going to happen.

I believe there are openings for free energy, otherwise I would not be here. I do not believe they are to be found in things that have been disproved time and time again. We need a different approach than to try to "refine" things that don't work.

Yes, thanks for the link. I don't really have access to a lathe etc, and I dont feel like spending big bucks on a CNC'd pedestal, so i'll probably either yank the motor out of my vcr and figure a way to attach it or perhaps buy aluminum pipe and stick a sealed bearing in there. The base would have to be some round stock glued to aluminum sheet. Or, I could go with a setup like Clanzer has, but where do you even get those pieces? Where would you get a base like that and tiny locking sealed bearing collars

I find a lot of useful stuff like small bearings, shaft collars, weird hardware and other supplies at the Local Hobby Shop (the airplane one, not the train one). But it is an advantage to have access to a lathe. It's the King of Tools.
(I wonder who made the first lathe, and how...I'm pretty sure he didn't use a lathe...I'll bet the second one was mmmuch easier...)

Hmmm...

I finally had a chance to look at how the video analysis was 'probably' done. Of course you can't really tell because it really is just a video.
Certainly all possible on a Linux or BSD box with those applications.
Amazing how it is all so reliable when the original video source is only 'fairly' well timed then compressed in who knows what fashion.
I think I'll wait until I see a repeat on an duplicate motor without using a video recording before I rely upon that 'data'.
Oh! Sorry. There are no duplicates, are there?

Forgive me please if I appear to be a skeptic and I'm not jumping on the bandwagon.

All I wish to know is where are you folks hitting next? It would be nice to know what topic to avoid next. Certainly what videos and data to avoid posting would be good to know as well.

Nevermind, I forgot. I stopped sharing that type of info a long time ago.


BTW:

1. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the scientific method. In fact, it is essential.
2. Please do make your motors out of wood, plastic and whatever.
