MylowHJ Replication - Discussion

@Yucca: Are you exploding 555's? Good fast blocking diodes will fix that.
This is a really nice flyback driver that I like a lot. You don't have to make it "sing", of course, but if you do --you will be amazed at the fidelity. It's nice to be able to heterodyne an audio signal on top of the high-freq HV.

Hi Bep,

My thoughts on the overall sin wave are:

Thanks for explaining your and many others point of view. I will give on the X as I can estimate the numbers for that to a reasonable tolerance from a video. However, Y is not acceptable to me without numbers. That shift could be several 10's of RPM or it could be so small it shouldn't even be considered.

Must be my constant creation and use of such graphs that is getting me down on this one. I'm used to dealing in microns and sub-milliseconds (for the mechanical devices). Without numbers this graph is not worth considering, in my book. Then when the link evaporated I nailed the coffin shut on that source.

Sorry, I've never been considered one to fall in-line with either herd. My judgments are mine and they'll stay that way.

I'm not going to pay for the hi-res any more than I would pay for the motor plans.  The videos neither prove nor disprove anything for me.

So no need to debate as far as I'm concerned.
I'll find my own answers with due time.


Popping ICs is relaxing but I keep a box of huge electrolytics handy for the really stressful days

I just received this link in my email and I figured best to pass it on.

Hmm the plot thickens in the following at 1:26 to 2:20 Mylow is seen to frig with the base of the motor alot could he be attaching the fishing line?
At 8.17 you can just see a couple of lines on the matting but not on the glass.
At 8:20 there is no noticable "Mylow stepping over the lines" motion shown from the camera, could this be as they slope down from the table, not horizontal?
At 8:39 would you not see a drive motor or something if the line's sloped down which is a contradiction to 8:20

Maybe I am missing something. But has anyone succeeded in duplicating mylow's device?
Please don't get me wrong for in 1974 I had a magnet wheel that ran for 1 1/2 days as a kid for a science project. But back in the 70 it seemed that other people had magnet wheels as well. So I believe it to be possible from experience. And I would love for mylow's wheel to be true, but I don't like being duked as well. Another friend of mine is going to try the mylow wheel, I myself will stick with gravity for good reason. We still don't have an absolute on mylow so we have to explore all possibilities. This is the reason I posted  Jerry/smotgroup information. It was just another item to check out, not for any other purpose.

G'day Alan,

How about sharing with us how you did that because this is better than anything I have seen.

I wrote this in an earlier post responding to BEP

>>This is all I can remember about it. The inner was an odd number and the outer was an even number of old style iron magnets. They where arranged in a way that you had 2 pushing for each sticky spot. The wheel did not move smoothly but is was a jerking action that tore out the center of the inner disk (cardboard). My Father convinced me I was wasting my time. So I took off the magnets and put them back on the refrigerator and they would not hold up as well as they did before.<<

This is truly all I can remember of what I did as a kid of 14. I am now 50. One of the things after trying to redo that old wheel is that the old iron magnets were allot more forgiving than the magnets we find today, and that my be the only reason it did what it did. I do have other magnet ideas and I may post some of them, but that will be after I finish up with my present gravity wheel projects. I will look for the same type of magnets I had back then and try once again for my own piece of mind. For old memories will always haunt us in this game.
