Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[xee2]

These are the results I got when moving a compass around a horseshoe magnet. I think they are what Mylow was showing in his video except he had a compass that was so large relative to the magnet that he could not get the compass between the poles of the magnet.

since stefan isn't around and we're once again into a bonfire of the vanities and 'look at me, look at me, look at me', I'll once again provide the service for the entire overunity.com community...

shut the f'up - this is a howard jones replication thread...

go create a academia vanity vs non-academia thread and have at it....

It would be interesting to know if this would work with a electromagnet as the stator!  A DC brushless motor!
Think of the possibilities.

I have attached a still from the video below that shows what I mean. What do you guys think?

Hans:
The airgap picture you posted was at :30 before the disk is started. 
Here are 2 screenshots that are indicative of the airgap when it is turning.

@dixiepnum

Only one word to say here.......................DITTO.
Let's keep on topic.

@sterlinga

Points for Mylow.

1) One suggestion for Mylow to determine his magnet strength is to always use the same piece of iron, stick it to the magnet and see if it holds. As the magnet gets weaker, eventually it will not hold anymore and this will give him a set standard by using the same piece of iron. Low tech but hey. or he can use several different iron sizes that are numbered from smallest to biggest and see which is the biggest one that holds.

2) Once he put that book under the wheel, I am thinking it probably also made the wheel less level to the horizon and this could cause some slowing of speed especially since his wheel is not perfectly balanced given the 4 magnets on only one side.

3) The only other video I would like to see is him taking apart the base. This would cover 100% of the device and address all concerns although I must say I am already 98% convinced this is real. The remaining 2% is just my continuous quest or call it an obsession with detailed observation.

4) In his last video he says the rotor magnet protrusions are top north and bottom south and the stator magnet is north closest and south furthest. Is that the final determination because it seems I read earlier on that the rotor mags where north north with the south on the back end. Hmmmm.

5) Mylow, what you just showed is the beginning of something really great. I don't know if you realize the implications but this will influence future motor builds  not only in the way you have shown but even in a fully coil wound system. The north south relationships is what is important here. Once guys figure out how to do this with neos, watch out and don't stop it by hand. lol.

@Hans

The wheel never started from that far away. But when seeing how the wheel stops when the stator is pull away from the rotor, one would expect the wheel to quickly just stop on its own and not have to stop it by hand or my scrapping the edge with the stator stand, since the stator magnet is now longer an influence.

This gives you an example of the actual wheel momentum. When the wheel starts it is 100% dependent on the stator to slowly start the turning but as soon as he is through the first six magnets, the larger space between the first six and the next six is where it is taking on enough momentum to pass the weak sticky spot of the second six but there is a maximum eventual build-up of momentum potential because the stator from the other end is also acting as a brake otherwise the wheel would continuously gain momentum, regardless if the magnet is weak or not. It is as if this wheel is working like a fine pendulum balancing between a brake and momentum state.

@all

Technically, even though the base was not taken apart, I think there is more then enough on the table for building. I don't think the dimensions are that critical, only the base method of magnets alignment is important. I would say that even a smaller wheel with 2 sets of 6 should be enough to get it turning. Hmmmm. Another project amongst so many. But this is a very easy build on a scale of one to ten I would say 2-3.

There is alot of Ed Leedskalnin in this device but Ed did it in reverse, rotor mags pointing outwards.
