Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[derricka]

I agree with call for independant examination. While a video can reveal a surprisingly large amount of information about device function, the only way for a device to be truly trusted, is for it to be independantly validated by trusted indivduals, with the appropriate level of technical qualifications, to carry out such a validation.
This will probably not only require scientific skill, but a nose for spotting possible deliberate deception.

You know this is turning out to be more amusing than Al's device and what is being said and done.

1; an aluminum disk on a good spindle bearing. How could one drive such? Simple coil, iron core, with a sine wave.
1A: Is such a device viewable inn the videos?? I will let folks figure out where it is.
3: Does the magnet arrangement exist that can do what is claimed?
3B yes an no. The arrangement will allow a pass through the magnets after the initial gate is forced through. This causes a bit of acceleration to the table and spindle, or mass in motion game.
3C The entrance gate is the problem. Enough velocity of the mass has to occur to get through that gate.  This is the unlikely position of this item working. It is also were a distance power source might  be useful in this, or unknowingly driving it.
4: if an exterior source is used, is the claimant aware of it?
4A: Most likely not.  A device near it is producing enough em to drive the plate. POSSIBLE.
4b: IF He knows: then done as a fake.

5: Is it such he found out of the right combination and materials to get by the entrance gate problem. Then not fake and real.

Now as for some one visiting: Items needed would be instrumentation for detecting external em fields that could be driving the table.  If passes that test: A small device to see inside the spindle housing to make sure not battery drive system is in there.  If passes then:
As some one else suggested: that the stator magnet is not real and  a device made to appear to be a magnet that could drive it.: if passes  as real then:
A good Gauss meter to map the fields of the rotor magnet, or magnets, and the stator magnets. Some iron filings  to show the situation with them rotor magnets,and any other measurements one would need.  Such of course to attempt replication.

What else have I missed in this??

Even if he shows this thing on video for 3 hours non stop in all angles and configuration, people and skeptics will NOT BELIEVE it.

Lost case, without someone going there and measuring.

Also, without anyone trying to replicate is not satisfying to skeptics. After all, skeptics dont believe in anything but themselfs.

Fausto.

1A: Is such a device viewable inn the videos??
...
4: if an exterior source is used, is the claimant aware of it?

A lot of easy ways.

One obvious way is to use the huge Aluminum disc for a fundamental induction motor. This coils that would produce the eddy currents in the Al disc could be inside the dresser that it's on.

Another way, spin PM's below the Al disc in the dresser. The moving PM's produce eddy currents, which results in drag. Essentially the PM's will drag the Al disc. The faster, the better.

That's why I'd like to see it run on a glass table. Is this ever going to happen?

I wish I could believe in these videos on trust.
But sadly it's not so, because of some people who get pleasure out of spreading fakes all over the internet 
If someone dependable goes and supplies a proof that there's no fake, I will try to replicate the device.
