Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[carbonc_cc]

I believe there is a flywheel effect occurring for the stator magnet to pass the last magnet in the row.  But it only works at the beginning of the row where the repulsion is strongest.  The faster you force your stator to first magnet in the row (repulsion feeling), the faster the rotor will spin to get to the last rotor magnet in the row.

I'm quoting myself here because it is very difficult to describe what I am feeling while holding the stator. 
I feel that the flywheel effect is also due to a (resonance) of the flux fields interacting during the MOVEMENT of the rotor. 

My previous statment feels incomplete and even wrong (or right). 

I need to think on how to articulate this.

I dont see the space between the rotors as being 8mm like the rotor. I see the space between being like 4mm, half the size of the rotor.

@carbonc_cc,

Can you do the following â€" instead of starting it from a stand-still (front rotor magnets facing the stator), have the front rotor magnets slowly move from sufficient distance (beyond the region where they can feel the stator magnet field) towards the stator magnet while holding the stator magnet immovably at its current position?

Unfortunatly I don't believe it will work. 

Ok, depending on the direction you hold the stator magnet.  The rotor will not pass the repelling side of the stator. 

The stator must start with ITS repelling field centered (just slightly more twards the rest of the rotors) in front of the first magnet in the set.  This is what starts the movement.  Its also the strongest repelling feeling on the stator.  Once the rotor starts to accellerate past that strong repelling field, the motion is kept alive with the weaker field variances as it passes each break.

I believe once it achieves some kind of resonance, it does not accellerate any more.  The momentum the rotor has at this point is what helps the stator pass the last rotor's STRONG ATTRACTION field.

This may only have a practical significance. Theoretically, there is no difference as to whether or not there is demagnetization. In any case, if Mylow's claim is real, this will be a perpetuum mobile. Recall that a permanent magnet is not an energy reservoir which can be discharged as a capacitor; on the contrary, demagnetization of a permanent magnet requires spending of energy rather than recovering the energy spent for the magnetization of the ferromagnetic piece.

I think I'm going to have to reupload the video.

Its stuck on processing.
