Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

@CLaNZeR

Hats off to you sir. Good work. You have your wheel and now you can play.lol

May I just point out a few things I see there.

Mylows' stator is north/south on left and right and not off the two protrusions. You may be inclined to try a straight magnet having the same north/south coming off the length.

The rotor offers a set finite and fixed flux field availability and the variable is the stator. Seems your stator is fixed much higher then Mylows'.

Regardless of the above, maybe the main object at this stage is to manually hold the stator in many angles and distances from the rotor so as to reproduce the actual weak flux exchange between the stator and the rotor as per Mylows' videos.

Anyways, this week I will hopefully have my wheel so I can play too. lol

Great work.

Excellent work.
You're a Saint Mylow.....Cheers!

Guys,
The experiments I ran yesterday convinced me the magnetic gate in Mylows design is real.  I had resistance going into the gate but it has quite a kick going out that is much more then energy required to overcome the initial resistance.  I don't know yet how this will translate to a full rotation.  I have about 50 pieces of steel to cut first.  It also may be that the aluminum plays a part in the design working better.  Also, I'm building on plexiglas.

Don't know if Mylows design has much torque or can output anything related to horsepower.  But those are questions for after replication, a number of DOE's and a bunch of engineering.

So for those of you who are speculating and taring apart the videos but haven't gotten your hands dirty yet, give it a try.  It doesn't have to cost a lot of money and you may just learn something you can share with the rest of us.

He has the impression he's showing who knows what, while what he's showing is trivial. He needs to show the rotor, while in full view, making full turns when started the way he shows it in the video. Until he shows that his exercise deserves no attention.

Yes, Omnibus!
Btw, I like your new image of being a "reasonable" pearson! (although I wouldn't call you a skeptic like Mylow did, hehe...)

Saint Mylow? 
Jeeez...
Ooops.

HJ motors and similar stuff is not a novelty (you all know this), although this "Mylow" contraptions seems rather unique (i like the way he placed rotor magnets...) Randomize, eh?

I remember seeing similar "PMMs" on scans made from super 8, VHS tapes,.. years ago. The magnets were usually  placed more orderly, still in a groups of 3 to 6,7, and even more..

The main point is a magnetomechanical interaction between "small and big, or hard and soft" magnets, ... The "BH" curves, "non-closed bh loops or magnetizing/demagnetizing cycles, etc... I'd say the "trick" is in soft nature (low coercivity and remanence) of an Iron stator magnet... (just IMHO)
Which during the "operation slowly looses strength"..  And later needs to be (re)magnetized again. Aha...

OK, still interesting, it seems like a kind of  "magnetic battery".

Hmm, care to make an energy balance estimate for in/out? At least a hundreds of kiloJoules (normally MegaJoules pulses) are necessary to revive a dead magnet.
So, for how many hours should such a disk with magnets, mass,... turns, to claim even Unity?

In those few pages I read here, I saw some people were (correctly) linking this "phenomenon" with Steorn's work. Funny, they claimed their "bad magnet" gained strenght in time (still the process stopped, too).

So, there must be something special happening... I hope.

We'll see...
Cheers!


P.S. Is filming a decent presentation (showing the workability of the revolutionary device with as less distractions and faults as possible) really such a difficult work?
Hey, I'm just asking...
