Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

RB:

At least your grandfather did not sell you plans on how to detect the ley lines or whatever they are.  So, Sterling's father invented Weebles?  (Weebles wobble but they don't fall down)

Sorry nyctuber, was not calling you dumb or anything, it was years before I learned how it was done.

Lol no offence taken. I wonder how many years it will take to know how Mylow did (or didn't) do it.

That's it, I could not remember the name, but that just bought the ad flooding back and made me laugh.

I went back and re-watched the backed-up copies of the few videos that Mylow made of his device operating on the glass table.  I noticed the following 'technical examples' of a probable hoax.  I suspect that there may be a fishing-line 'pulley string' around the shaft going off-camera to the left
I hope this is enough 'technical examples' to show why I suspect this may be a hoax.

Good observations Rosphere, I just reviewed the videos and once you know what to look for his actions speak louder than words. And always the lighting from the rear right quarter.

The first step over is so clear... you see the toes of his socks through the glass table as he starts his CW shuffle... then the left foot stops and the right foot closes up at a rather awkward angle and pauses... then the left foot is way over, the right foot joins it then the normal CW shuffle resumes... 

I hope TK is here to see this? Excellent work all of you with the graphs and video analysis.

Now lets not apply the the string drive to all the mylow vids!

In the "last", "last" vid it is most likely being spun up by Mr Hand, until he starts to talk and then the evidence points to a simple run down. None of the 'little' bits of evidence by themselves were the smoking gun but Rosphere's brilliant observations tie this all together and reveal the hidden mechanism for these last videos.

I feel sorry for all the diehard believers, including our moderator, but the evidence for a hoax was present from the beginning... the wife's broom, the phony mibs, and the absolute refusal to let anyone witness the device running.
(there were more anomalies, a couple in each vid, but this is
a short list)

The fat lady has sung!

WTF you think you can just go around accusing people's fathers of being con men??

This place is getting completely out of hand.... Pirate needs to apologize for that remark, and be given a "time-out". There is no excuse for that.

Even if it is all a fake (and none of you in the echo chamber really know that yet), does that give you the right to cast aspersions on someone's father just for the hell of it?

If you were standing next to someone, and said that about their Dad... You could  suddenly find yourself on your ass looking at all the pretty stars.

I guess saying it over a computer makes that not much of a worry, huh?

People who come here and see this kind of utter crap, will do what? Probably just leave.

... Or is that the idea behind it all?
