Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[PaulLowrance]

I just saw mylow's newest video. Why can't he just show an uncut video of the thing starting, running, stop it, take it apart already?!

As for small DC motors, the DC motors that come with the inexpensive miniature RC helicopters are 0.16" in diameter. They could easily apply the small amount of force require to get that machine rotating rather quietly. In fact, it would be very difficult to hear such a motor when insulated.

I bought a similar miniature RC helicopter last year for $25.

There's quite a bit of space above the drawer and below the top of that bureau. If I wanted to, I could mount a motorized turntable in that space, with a bunch of magnets on it. With that turntable turning, controlled by a footswitch or a rheostat from an old sewing machine, there would be enough coupling to the magnets on the rotor, that the rotor would slowly spin up, yet be stoppable and positionable just as Mylow has shown. And, Paul, this arrangement would survive your test. The machine could be disassembled, all parts shown, put back together and started up--as long as it was in the same spot on the bureau.
And this is only one of about a dozen ways I can think of.

BTW, has MyLOW shown a definitely-running device, running, anywhere other than in that EXACT spot, on the bureau, near the lamp and the (alleged) wall?

Do they sell invisible power cables, too?

Yes he showed it on a glass table. The camera angles weren't up to peoples standards, I guess. It's on LRCan1's archive page, video #18.

That video does not show an unequivocal self-runner. All the vids that definitely show acceleration, as far as I know, show the device sitting in approximately exactly the same spot.
I'd be happy to be mistaken about this; it would continue to narrow down the possible fakery schemes.
You don't need invisible power cables, although they are available. There's enough space in the overhead stator support for batteries, actuating pulse coils, sensors, and an RC receiver, to keep the thing running for many hours. [edit:    ]
