Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

i seems that in the replication builds so far, the "sweet spot" exists only when the array of magnets is incomplete. when fully arranged, .... time  will tell.

No, one complete rotation does not show overunity. To be so called overunity, the magnets will have to not deplete over time, in which case it will run forever and you will be able to build a larger model with more stator poles and attach an electric generator to the shaft.  You would then have to explain where the energy is coming from to drive the system (one for the boffins at the Universities I think if we every get to that point).

Hi Gang,

My replication of MYLOWS gate.  Just need more buttons, will try to pick
up later today and finish it.  IT IS NOT SELF STARTING, needs buttons to
be placed in U magnet.  IT is EXACTLY what you see. Buttons all "N" facing out. Bearings are out
of a old BIG BEN alarm clock that I got at a flea market and removed them and the associated wheels/pins.
U magnet I got from Edmund Scientific years ago when I was fooling with Testatika wheel.  Rotor is a small
7UP can (AL) with brass shim plates cut and super glued into ends and then center punched/drilled for wheels/pins.
The old red paint on the rotor was insulation from an earlier experiment.

I had a dual set of buttons all "S" facing out and it worked identical with both sets in place.


Thats all
Ben

Have no doubt, if he starts the rotor from stand-still at the “sweet spot” and the rotor makes more than one turn on its own, this is an overunity machine beyond doubt.

Is there general consensus that this is correct?

billmehess: 
No, there is no consensus.  I am hopeful that Mylow's device will do these things, and will prove to be an overunity machine, and that ultimately this magnetic motor research will prove to be truly beneficial.  Time will tell.

But I also think arguments such as whether certain conditions show "overunity" have no real value.  There are probably hundreds of derailed threads in this and other forums in which people have argued for weeks over things that cannot yet be proven either way.

This is incorrect.
