Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[AbbaRue]

I tried sliding a neo. magnet down a piece of aluminum and I found,
that the magnet starts to tumble every time I quickly turn the magnet
around and try letting it slide down.

Might it also depend on the thickness/density of the aluminum/copper?

Sure, why not all those things just mentioned.

At least we know we can trust these types of experimental videos ...  Until the magnet starts going UP the aluminum all by itself

removed, since Abba removed his--nothing to worry about

I just tried it again and it seems that it is only one side that does the
flipping over. I got mixed up with which side I used.
So I removed that post.

The aluminum bar I'm using is one inch wide and 1/8 inch thick 4ft long.
The magnet I'm using is 1/2 inch diam. 1/8 inch thick with a hole
through the middle of it.

Very much so, the thicker the material the higher it's conductivity, and of course copper is a better conductor than aluminum.
I'm just trying to think of a use this could be to.

Might it also depend on the thickness/density of the aluminum/copper?
