Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[maw2432]

@ Bep

You may be on to something.  Mylow's magnet arrangement in his first video is somewhat unbalanced.   He later had to put some shims under table/dresser to make it level in one of his videos. I agree, there is nothing wrong with a little gravity assistance.  Has any one else tried to use some gravity assistance with their replication setup?

I had been working on with crude set-up on my pool table which is very level with no possitive results.   I may give it a go again later but others have better replications (closer to Mylow's setup) that may want to try first.

Hi all,
If I had to make an attempt to replicate Mylow's device, here's how I'd proceed :

The plastic flexible wheel could be replaced by a thin plywood one, I guess.
This may allow you a huge gain of time, once built. If you want to move some magnets, you just have to slack off a few screws.
(screws are brass ones)
maybe the rubber bands would be useless.

For all the would be replicators out there....

Many sellers of this item, use Google.

You can always mount a larger disk ontop if you wish, but make sure its centered if you do.

Tried this. Far too much friction as do lazy susan assemblies IMHO. Still looking for an off-the-shelf bearing assembly.

Hi,
I just had a look through the last few pages of this thread and checked out some of the videos on youtube inlcuding the replication attempt. Could anyone tell me, has 1 person been able to successfully replicate the Mylow claims? Or has any independant party been able to examine Mylows invention and verify it as legimate?

appreciate any further info as I can probalby get some engineers to work on this but they wouldnt be interested in something still unproven.
