Your thoughts about aluminum are valid here. After all this is the Replication Discussion thread, not the 'make sure every nail in the coffin is secure' thread.

Aluminum plays a role in this motor whether folks wish it to or not. The question is - exactly what?

I found my initial attempt with thin aluminum failed to produce anything interesting.
Next attempt... 7ga. plate with holes around the edge for mounting magnets..... yea right!

<Edit>
"yea right!" Meaning the holes killed all wanted action -or- dumb move for me. I had to cut another disk.
</Edit>

I finally decided to stop changing the recipe. At least now I have smooth rotation from one magnet group to another. Still not there but no holes around the edge and no grove.

I am convinced Eddy is part of this but I don't think he is dragging his feet.

And this is exactly what has been done. The Mylow Motor version of Howard's design in no real way even comes close to approximating the original concept. The C shaped magnet though it may work is not the way to go. Think 'flat' guys. But you watch. I bet I will not get onne single reply to this thread.

Welcome to the fray ALFPARTS.

I'll take your bet and apply it toward a wager that you have a lot more to say about Howard's design than your last post.

Take care.

Yes I have a lot more to say about the Mylow project but the matter deserves more investigation before I release more. I will say this however: I have two sets of engineering notes. One set from Howard concerns the actual motor operation principles. The other concerns the design of of the mis-information that is being disseminated by a certain group of people out west.

@ALFPARTS

While Mylow's rendition is interesting (but not an HJ design) I would rather develop my understanding of the 'REAL' work of Howard Johnson.
