MylowHJ Replication - Discussion

[Michelinho]

Hi X00013,

@ ALL !! , there are BUCKET loads of Chinese magnet manufactures that will go to great legnths to make you ANY magnet, out of any material, to any stregnth, it's like "pick your poison", do some research made-in-china.com for one, send some inquiries with pics and dims, the Chinese people are very polite and promt.

I would love to do that but the shape I would want, half moon like Howard Johnson used in his magnetic motor would never make it through custom. Try to order some and you will be put on a watch list.

Take care,

Michel

I cant agree with you, 95% of magnets in us are imported.  Your talkn nonsense.

Some good posts, thanks.

Here is a hunch and a few more coming once I get some more round alnico magnets for my tests that will help make some easy advancing in testing for standard "Mylow wheellers".

We know horseshoe magnets last longer if there is a keeper.

Well why not try a "keeper ring" that would be a thin iron ring about the diameter of a 12 awg wire as shown below. Either one ring going over all the rotors top north as shown.

Or...........smaller lengths going from the last rotor of a set to the first of the next set (rotors 6 to1 or 7 to 1) and by doing so this will change the flux path between these two stickiest spots. The keepers could be round of flat.

Also if you use small lengths of let's say flat iron strips (like the metal straps used to secure pallets or other shipping stuff, going from 6-1, stuck to the top of rotors, then find a round alnico magnet and stick it to the center of the bar with north up. This will act as a magnetic bias on the piece or iron to repolarize it with north up. The iron homogenizes rotors 6 and 1 and the magnet repolarizes. Try one iron piece between two sets then see how it goes with the stator, if good, then try a second, then a third. If three work and four do not, then put them in packs of three and worry about those points after.

Anyways, yo guys get the idea on how to do variations, this is just one way of playing with the wheel. I need some more round alnico's.

I believe Mylow's motor was working because it was using a little gravity assistance until someone pointed out that his dresser/table was not level in video 34.   In video 37 he then claims he leveled the dresser/table.  This to me says it was not level in all the other videos.    All my replication tests were done on a level pool table.   I finially gave up and removed all my magnets from my clock wheel.  Question,  how significant is it if Mylow's wheel was really not level and somewhat unbalanced?   Has anyone tried a little gravity assistance?   Maybe this is the key to why his first worked.

@maw2432

I don't think gravity has anything to do with it. If gravity had somethig to do, it would also have an equal something to do against which would canel out any potential gains.
