Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[lostcauses10x]

In this case, the heat sink becomes a "heat source" and warms the magnet.

correct. it might even allow the magnet to last longer.

correct. it might even allow the magnet to last longer.

I think you will find the magnets will last longer and perform better at lower temperatures.

Proof is not needed to refute any claim based on all permanent magnet motors. Whenever such idea comes up, you just apriori reject it without second thought or doubt.

I disagree!  That is the greatest flaw with "skepticism."  "Skeptics" would falsely have people believe they enter a case unbiased, but that is not the case with every skeptic I've studied. This reason alone is why 2LoT is still accepted by conventional scientists. I've proven 2LoT is 2ToT.

On the other hand, it's fine for a scientist to make a quick evaluation if he or she is to spend time analyzing a device.

Well.  Mylow logged into Youtube about an hour ago.  He could be posting a new video (which, for me, takes quite some time on my DSL connection).

Now that some replications are coming along, perhaps it would be useful to have a Universal Test Plan agreed-to by consensus which could then act as a guide and fairly uniform data entry point for the Replicators to use when testing their devices... Making it easier to compare results, providing a framework for discussing and evaluating, and allowing widely separate replication test results to be compared by their construction differences (thus possibly helping with future improvements).

Heres an imperfect suggestion for one to get the ball rolling :
