Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

@ Q,  4 u, a maybe try?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9Ly66S7Yig

Re lumen,

I guess to try to put it shorter, the rotor magnets push a field through the aluminum plate just because they are setting so close to it. (on it)
The aluminum plate resists a rapid field change by producing a current that creates a counter field but this current fades over a short time in the stationary field of the rotor magnets.

The current induced in the disk would at most measure in pico amp, not enough to produce and deflect a magnetic field from even a weak rotor magnet and the stator magnet would not be affected being farther away. The stator is a lot smaller and receive fast impulses from the sides and top (the motor works in repulsive mode) creating a small attracting/repulsive force that could, if the magnets timing with the stator support is right, create a small deflection of field of the stator magnet (stuck directly on the support)*. The rotor magnets would not be sensibly affected being too far away from the stator support.

Take care,

Michel

*Howard Johnson does it with weaker angled flexible magnets on the sides and in the back of the stronger ones to shape his magnetic fields.

@ queue,

Could you try to replicate Mylow's stator mount like in his video. You use wood blocks on each sides instead of aluminum post. Maybe there is an effect there that you won't get with the wood. Try to place it is a position similar to his setting, if there is some diamagnetic effect with the disk or the magnets or both, you will never get it to turn with your stator as it is now.

Take care,
Michel

P.S.: To the naysayers, we heard you and your contribution to this thread is done. Move along and get a life.

I just wanted to contribute the fact that Mylow did use WOOD blocks on the sides with his "working" motor:

I'm not sure what you are trying to ask or tell Queue?

Thanks,
Joe

Hi joe_1001101,

Apparently you did not see the aluminum plate behind the wood.

Take care,

Michel

Hi Michel

Well it depends on what side of the stator mount you look at!  Look close in this video from 29 sec to 34 seconds.  No metal behind the stator side of the wood, and it "runs" just fine:

The plate on the other side will only slow it down if anything IMO.

Thoughts?
