MylowHJ Replication - Discussion

[Cloxxki]

Instant rich?
1W useful output per 2lb of machinery perhaps?
Did anyone calculate the power needed to reach such rpm's in that way? I bet your breathe is hardly any weaker.
If Mylow would sell his (when proven) setups, stator assembly firmly locked in place, that might get some dollar. Each next unit less, though.

What a cop out

" I just got off the phone with Mylow.
He's out working right now.
From his description, he definitely has acceleration with just 6 magnets.  He said after four magnets, he started noticing something "weird", and even with five magnets, it pulled in, thrust past the stator, and made it all the way around to do it again.  With six magnets, it was accelerating until the assembly was shaking to the point that he stopped it lest it be damaged or fall apart.

It kind of has him freaked out, and he's hesitant to post a video showing it.  He's concerned about the ramifications of this hitting the planet and the disruption it might cause.  I reminded him that whenever a new technology is introduced, there will be some down sides, but that the benefits outweigh the potential problems.  Every car that is sold carries with it the possibility of killing its occupants.  But the benefits of transportation far outweigh the potential risks.

He's also concerned about his personal life.  He enjoys his simple life, and doesn't necessarily savor the idea of being thrust into the limelight.

He thinks of all those guys who have been working on things like this over the years, but to no avail.  I would think they would be grateful to see something actually working, vindicating what they were pursuing.  Yes, there might be some jealously, wishing they had been first, but overall there will a sense of collective accomplishment, and a thrill for the future as this technology is characterized, optimized,and implemented into practical embodiments."

The thing is...  the last video showed everything you need to know. He used the end of a pen for the spacing, for God's sake. Mylow gave the gap ratios, anyone should easily be able to use those magnets to make a motor now. If they can't, and specifically if they don't get that pendulum cogging effect, then the phenomenon is unique to.... Chicago...

Just wanted to point out that a plastic hasn't been disproven as a viable platter material. Mylow apparently decided the magnets used with Sterling's plastic-on aluminum setup would not work due to their small size.
