Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[Omnibus]

@carbonc_cc,

You may recall that the entrance barrier was exactly the problem with the tri-gate. Magnetic propulsor has the exit barrier problem while the tri-gate (and here too) the problem is the entrance barrier. We're at square one. Here is the crux of the matter, has Mylow resolved this problem or not? Still remains to be seen.

G'day all, I'm new to this forum and just wanted to say hi.
First of all, I'd like to say that I have an open mind to science, but not an easily deceived one.
Secondly, I have found this Johnson motor replication very interesting at least on the surface of it, and I wish Mylow every sucess with his experiments and all the researchers on this board and other boards trying to crack the holy grail of physics. I along with many others here on planet earth I will be in line to shake their hand if they do.!!!

But (theres always a but), the thing I wish to comment on here (gently) is that I thought magnets like gravity, are conservative forces.    Over the years I have seen all sorts of attempts to extract power from magnets and gravity.   Unfortunately, a magnet's magnetic field is a static force. Whether one pole is a little bit stronger than the other I thought would be irrelevant.  Whatever the attraction or repulsion force is to another magnet's pole, then the total attraction or repulsion energy is conserved.  In other words, it's takes the same amount of energy to pull the magnets apart as it takes for them to come together in the first instance excluding frictional losses of course.  It's basic physics 101.
In saying that though, if a magnet had of had a natural occurring pulsating field then that would of been a different story and perhaps this forum may never had appeared. LOL!!   

Now as I was reading each page here, I noticed that emotions ranged from euphoria and disbelief to perhaps some jealousy and even quite hostile tit for tat.  That's okay.   Science should always be about discussion, rigorous and repeatable experiments, debate, more rigorous and repeatable experiments and even more debate!!    Unfortunately, personal attacks do occur sometimes.  Remember Newton, the Wright brothers and others often copped personal comments and attacks from other competitive and non-competitive "peers".
My thoughts are that each person has something to contribute and is entitled to a constructive if even sometimes critical comment.    Sometimes it's hard to cop, because most people interested in any particular field do put alot of effort into their research and ideas and they don't like what appears to them to be negative input.    However, we do need the 'devil's advocate' types as they often keep us focused on the job at hand.   Sometimes they can save someone many hours of effort and possibly lots of money especially if they already have a very good understanding of the laws of physics or nature or have been there and done that. 

Finally, I definitely believe the biggest driver for this field of research is the fame and glory for whoever will be the first to discover something new and possibly break Newton's laws.  Now, I'm doubtful it will be with magnets (remember static fields), but good luck to Mylow or anyone if they think they can. 
Hey has anyone heard the talk of mining the moon one day for the radioactive isotope of helium called He3 as a fuel source for nuclear fusion.  Apparently, 1lb of this stuff could power the entire eastern seaboard of the U.S for one year!!!     I know it's not 'overunity', but how interesting is that too!!

Yes the fields are such that the actions tend to balance out. Yet the magnet itself consists of domains which can and will change with time in a field. This is were a variation of strength can occur and possibly be used.
Not saying this is real, yet it is interesting. replications and results of that will show more  in this situation

As for the H3 stuff, Yes that is interesting and being looked at as a possible fuel.
The new laser set up they have out may also show some good results. As for the research into such, well it does produce money for then university. I do no of one set up that was never fully fired up that was feasible. Reason why? If it worked the funding would have stopped.
Oh and that was a OIL company funded project. Such is life and money.

@sirinewton,

Welcome to the forum and please don’t get discouraged that the first reply to your first post will be negative. I don’t want to start a theoretical discussion but I will only note that physics101 doesn’t fail to call work the displacement under the action of a conservative force. If an opportunity is created for a conservative force to induce such displacement infinitely then work will be done infinitely. This doesn’t go against physics101, although it is a different situation from the one you correctly describe whereby “it takes the same amount of energy to pull the magnets apart as it takes for them to come together in the first instance excluding frictional losses of course”.

@lostcauses10x,

You are giving an incorrect explanation should Mylow claim turns out to be real. Realigning of domains in a permanent magnet requires energy input not the opposite, as you incorrectly understand.
