Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[hartiberlin]

At the start of each rotor array segment there is a small wall you have to push through to get started.
rotor N meets stator's N = (wall) repulsion. 

The question is, what kind of stator are you using ?

If it is pure Iron, this might be different !?

Depending on which way you rotate the rotors :

At the start of each rotor array segment there is a small wall you have to push through to get started.
rotor N meets stator's N = (wall) repulsion. 

As the last magnet in each rotor segment moves past the stators S side and out of the stator's field - it get's pushed away by the same amount you had to push to get in to get started moving. 

If you flip the stator 180 degrees - the rotors want to go the opposite way ..
Hope i haven't just confused you completely. :-)

Mylow's stator is slightly wider than 2 rotors plus the space. Is your setup the same? I suspect that little extra stator width might have alot to do with keeping it going.

@Queue:

Your first magnet stack has only got 6 magnets instead of 7, so just maybe add another one.

Please also show your stator magnet.

Is it also just a magnetized iron U-Shaped block ?

Looking forward to see the video, when all magnets are mounted.

Many thanks.

Stefan . .Mylows latest config is series of seven rotor mags - seperated by 2 1/4 inches, followed at the end by one series of six rotors and then a gap of several inches before starting again ..
i built the six first - instead of last just to see how it would move with the sevens..
i will need to change it to seven and rebuild a final new six with modified spacing or flip my stator the other way ..

In the  video last posted - the stator i used was the one that worked best . .the big grey one on my Mylow page here

@queue,

That's worrisome. That initial barrier may kill the project. However, I still don't understand how is it that when the N's of the rotor have their first encounter w/ the S of the stator (consider this stator's disposition first) there should be a barrier. My understanding is there shouldn't be. Also (at this same disposition of the stator) the exiting N's of the rotor should be repelled by the trailing N of the stator and there should be no barrier either. Now, if you flip the stator over then it will be unfavorable at both ends.

All my current stators are Alinco ( Aluminum - Nickle - Cobalt ) . .

i asked Sterling this morning to send me specs on Mylows new stator but he has not answered me yet .

i would be happy to purchase one to test with it -  the same stator Mylow is using that is.
Waiting for an answer to my query in this regard from either Mylow or Sterling..
