Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

TK:

Your video is of too good a quality and too well lit -
from several angles your fishing line drive belt is visible. (unlike Mylows)
Watch his 2nd glass table video @ 0:50 and watch him fumble 
(I'll have to post a vid I guess)

Clearly, I wanted you to see if you could notice the line, under the most favorable conditions: bright overhead direct lighting, high-res closeup views, no attempt to hide the line at all. Or the motor either, did you see it?
Now ask yourself if Mylow has shown a running motor in the same conditions.

But--imagine that I started that video at the 4:00 mark instead of the beginning. What would you think then, if you didn't know better? Even in the bright light closeup, HQ and full screen, I cannot see the line, and I know exactly where to look.

I loved the bird..my 18 month daughter yelped screams of delight when she saw it.
PS I did see the fishing line, no cigar.
Do it again with low light, I have this great idea where we can cash in a little and sell some plans. If no one can replicate it will will blame it on a lack of faith. I can work the faith thing for some good tax credits.
In your next video ...lose your temper.

Video rebuttal of Mylow's 2nd glass table video where he fumbles with the hidden drive belt, probably near invisible under poor lighting and poor quality video shot from the proper angle of thin fishing line:

That certainly looks exactly like you say. He clearly makes a hand motion that looks just like what I do when fooling with that 6-pound test monofilament.
6 lb. was the smallest I could find on Sunday, but I know that 2 lb test would be plenty strong enough and that's even harder to see.

This is what you call STRING THEORY -- nice find.  I totally agree.

I was really hoping for this...All my attempts have cogging effect - but still trying.

bah..keep changing this...

The guy is a fraud.  What's his address so we can pay him a visit to give him some bills to pay.

Fraud keeps popping up...but i am hoping he is only just mentally unstable.

I really wanted MyLow to have discovered this wonderful effect but it looks like all good intentions from good people still cannot and won't be substantiated. Perhaps MyLow started this as a prank but got so deeply into this there was no way to dig himself out of the hole! I certainly hope I am wrong about this, after all I only spent $150 on materials.

Good luck to all those replicators who are still looking for the sweet spot.
