Mylow Motor was a fake

The theory that it runs through the hole has not been proven.

However, it is most likely still running on string power. What's this at 5:07 (and before/after)

EDIT: A less prominent line appears to the right as well, so perhaps it's an artifact of filming the disk itself

Reflection of the base on the shaft? Or fishing line?

@nyctuber

Don't think so. In your second photo pointing to the PS on the shaft, if the string made that line, it would have been fat enough to be seen by the naked eye otherwise it could not have made that type of shadow. The shaft at that perspective becomes, based on the camera angle, is reflective of objects that are behind and to the right side of Mylow.

Also, this can be noted to my point No. 3 and would equal a PS operation that was already activated and turning and the removing of the stator bridge had no bearing, but it did, because if the PS was coming from somewhere else and was still turning, then by removing the bridge the wheel should have turned on its own. This was shown by @TK when he reversed the direction of his test, meaning no manual push would have been required to start her up.

The other photos pointing to the back wall near the table edge is simply the image transition for both color extremes, one of the wall and one of the table, plus one unseen but affecting space between the wall and the back of the table.

So this again points to NO PS.

Guys, I would like for this question to be resolved to the best of our abilities because this is why some want us to forget about this whole thing. My tests show that a Mylow wheel is possible and that's by using neos. The putting of the magnets is not pardonable. If you are off by one or two, it won't turn.

I will put a better discussion of this in the builders thread.

OH, I also added this next photo showing a close up of the left bridge h ole from the inside as the wheel is turning at around 6:33 just to show the hole does not show any PS.

I'm not sure i agre with you about the fatness of the string, it sort of looks like it could be a string and a shadow beneath it.  I don't know.

This is good though, I hadnt watched the beginning of that video for a long time, maybe never. The wood grain definitely has long white horizontal streaks, somewhat of an unusual grain really.

Does the pain ever stop? Lol.
