Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[TinselKoala]

Please make your comments !

Here is the acceleration analysis of video:
M2U00173 (original video)
M2U00176 (original video)
M2U00163 (original video)
M2U00159 (original video)

With a newly programmed software that works with an external sensor it was possible to automatically perform an acceleration analysis of any of Mylow's videos very quickly.. The output is presented as a graphic with time on the x axis, and rotation speed on the y axis.

   
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The lines that deviate from the acceleration curve in the graph are the mistakes of the sensor due to camera movement.

I hope that these graphics show results comprehensible to all,
if you have questions about the methodology or the interpretation of these figures, do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks,
LightRider

These graphs are great, and clearly show that the device is being driven externally, not by the magnet interactions. For example, note the smoothness of the initial acceleration curve. This method is sensitive enough, I believe, to have shown the difference in disk speed in the "gaps"--which definitely should be there at slow speeds, if the disk is being driven by the magnets. But the graphs do not show these differences.
Even in my motor-driven RPM curves, at slow speeds you can see the variation in speed caused by the clutch arrangement, and on my disks with magnets you can see the variation in the "gaps". But on LightRider's excellent graphs the accelerations are particularly smooth at low speeds.
This, to me, is very telling: It is telling us that MyLOW's disk is not being propelled by the magnets.
Thanks, LR, for the excellent work.
I'd be interested in seeing if the same technique, applied to a video of my turning disk, would in fact actually pick up my clutch signature. Maybe we can set something up to compare and see?

Mylows motor "accelerates" and then finds a constant speed? For this to happen there must be a constant input of increasing  power to compensate for a normal slowdown due to friction and air resistance. Where is the every increasing power coming from? So this must  not only be a  PMM but also a power supply that is increasing in power exponentially? Really?

Please, send me a video of about 10 min with a fixed camera and I would do the analysis.

Considering no one has ever seen an acceleration graph of a working pmm I think your conclusion may be premature. The analysis of your disk would be very interesting to see. I appreciate your skills as a builder, and even your skeptical approach and look forward to seeing more of your work. I'm still on the fence for this one and all the video analysis, audio signature tracking, and speculation (for or against) don't do much to change my opinion either way, but i approach it with an open mind and look forward to the conclusion of this saga. I'm still waiting on the success or failure of many replicators to lend weight to the subject.

@all

I was just reading the Magnetic Refrigerator thread http://www.overunity.com/index.php?topic=3219.msg178166#msg178166

I Googled around and found an article at http://www.alphagalileo.org/Organisations/ViewItem.aspx?OrganisationId=880&ItemId=12683&CultureCode=en

It describes the process of special magnetic material made to cool by "demagnetizing" used in this case as a refrigerator action.

This seems like a possible explanation to Mylow's stator magnet cooling effect that was observed earlier.
