Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[Bobbotov]

You know when he shows his rig with nothing inside the bottom of that bearing assembly and he says he can't fit a motor in there..?

Gee, just like a magician who says, "nothing up my sleeve." All of misdirection is contingent on this. I would be more comfortable with a scientist or engineer not associated with Mylow making that determination for me. If it is a fake why in the world would I trust the word of the faker? If it is real he won't mind sharing his device with a qualified person. Think about it. If it is fake would he not resist inspection by outside parties at all costs? If it is real then what possible motivation does he have for acting this way? It cannot be that he is a afraid they will steal his idea as he has posted it all over the Internet.

before I attempt any replication I need to see some credibility

That is the key, Don't jump on the band wagon until you know it's not traveling over that cliff.

Well put, agree with you 100%!

OTOH, if the device IS a fake, what's his motivation for acting the way he is? I've got a few theories on that too, but no data, other than that Sterling is going to look pretty silly, and maybe Mylow has it in for him or PESWiki.

I have to agree with you to a point, but the problem is the wasted time and resources, lets say for a moment that Mylow is real, then by jeebus nothing is wasted, it would be fantastic, but turn it around to a fake and you have a lot of waste on your hands.
Now some of these people do replication in their spare time,I do, they will argue it's their time and resource to waste which is fair enough, but when wasted on a potential fake it becomes more serious, before I attempt any replication I need to see some credibility, so far because Mylow has refused or given some reason not to have third party validation then he has no credibility.

You make a valid point and as you and others have commented, until he seeks third party validation he should not expect anyone to believe his claim on video evidence alone. Failing to do this seriously weakens his credibility.
