Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[CLaNZeR]

But I admit I was acting rather insulting (unintentionally!), therefore I am using this post to apologise to CLaNZeR. The truth is, I actually like his enthusiasm,  good will, preparedness to help,..  to replicate OU experiments...
CLaNZeR, please, forgive me! I AM sorry ! You are the good guy! Sincerely!

Spinner not a problem and thx. We all get carried away and frustration comes out, even with me

For the record I do not actually believe anything 100% until I see it myslef and this is why I try and replicate so many things.
I enjoy it and also.
Do not ask me why, that is just what floats my boat, well that a few other things haha

What I found about Mylow's initial videos was that it was a self starter and that made this one different.

But alas the latest video has moved away from that.

Alot of people comment asking why do WindDown videos?, well one of the reasons is to actually show them that it is very easy to shoot a video for a few minutes showing a loose Rotor spinning and claiming it is a self runner, when in fact it is just a Flywheel effect.

With the new video I just wish he had a hand held laser tacho on it, these are cheap enough to buy these days and would be enough proof to get me excited again.

Till I see a working Replication of Mylows I will remain firmly on the fence but stay open minded.

Waiting for some parcels to arrive this end and back to trying

Cheers

Sean.

Thanks, Sean!

We all have to deal with our "frustrations" sometimes... You know I "know" you for quite some time now... And I know You're a good guy. Thanks!

Yes, we can all get carried away sometimes...

So, no bad feelings? I hope?

Cheers!

What's that sound after the "glitch"? It sound as though a tape has bust or come to an end and it's flapping around on its spool. Also, there is certainly the sound of voices in the background. Can anyone enhance them?

The question has arisen whether Mylow was running the above video backwards and what one was seeing was a rundown.

If it was running backwards the normal direction of rotation would be reversed. We are effectively looking at the hands of a clock.

What is Mylow's normal direction of rotation?
As you can see from a previous video it is clockwise
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w48QuEfL59Q&feature=channel_page

And the direction of rotation in the latest video is also clockwise.

This suggests that the video is not a wind-down running backwards.

Of course he could have reversed the magnet from its normal orientation. But since no one on this forum seems to have considered the significance of the rotation direction it's unlikely he would have done either.

Well I still hope this not a hoax.   I started a build about week ago and decided to play around with some neo's that I had.   I used a VCR video drum for my rotor with an old 15 inch clock that I mounted on it.  I used dice to mount my neo mags.  I have tried differnt stators and the horseshoe Alnico seems to give best results.   I am using hot glue to glue everything down.   Crashes are not pretty.
