Working Magnet Motor: MIBs Threaten MYLOW

IMPORTANT FE TRUTH UPDATE : This story was later later shown to be a hoax. The MYLOW motor used concealed fishing line which was only spotted weeks later after some video analysis.

Update From Sterling Allan / overunity.com
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mylow phoned me in tears this morning, distraught and very scared.

He said that last night his lawyer (last name Kaplan sp?; starts with a K) brought with him a man in a dark suit and briefcase, who looked and acted very intimidating.

They took his motor, all his papers, and left him with a note warning him to not say anything about this or to tell anyone or to post any more videos but that it was in his best interest to just leave it alone.

Mylow was extremely rattled and cut the call short.

But first, I told him to not go into fear, but to send them love and forgiveness and light and to not let them scare him.

I got on the phone to some of my associates and was recommended that Mylow press charges because a criminal act was carried out against him.

Mylow then phoned back and said that his wife just called him and said that the lawyer and the guy brought all the stuff back in a box, with some of the magnets dislodged from the rotor. They told her, "Don't say anything about this. Just let it drop. It's 'just a toy'; keep it that way. Don't post any more videos on YouTube."

She called the police, who came over to arrest them, but the guy in the suit told the police something, and they then turned on Mylow's wife saying that they could arrest Mylow if he didn't comply.

In a subsequent phone call, Mylow said that he is going to keep the work going forward. "The spirit of Howard Johnson inspires me, and I'm going to bring this forward."

He plans on continuing to post videos and pressing forward with this work.

Way to go Mylow! We're rooting for you.

Everyone, please hurry and replicate this thing. Let's show the world that this is not going to be stopped. They've done this too many times.

Kaplan should not get away with his complicity as a coward to the bullies that for too long have been ruling the playground.

Let's show the world that the day of the bullies' rule is coming to an end.

Sincerely,

Sterling D. Allan, CEO

MYLOW Magnet Motor Update: Another 18 Hours Continuous Operation

IMPORTANT FE TRUTH UPDATE : This story was later later shown to be a hoax. The MYLOW motor used concealed fishing line which was only spotted weeks later after some video analysis.

Sterling Allan from www.overunity.com has given another update after speaking with MYLOW today. Reproduced below:

"I spoke with Mylow this evening as he was driving home then arriving, to see the motor still turning. He has had it running since 1:00 am Central last night."

"As he walked back in his house, it was still running. "It's still running real fast." We timed it at about 140 rpm (33 revolutions/15 seconds). He stopped it to try something at around 7:10 pm Central, so it had been running around 18 hours continuous, with no apparent slow-down."

He said it took him 8-10 hours last evening and into the night to figure out how to get the "red" magnet that I sent him will work stably.

He ended up with a configuration of sets of 7, followed by a space of 2 1/4 inches before the next set. Then the last set has 6 magnets, and the final gap before the first set starts again is 4.5 inches.

"It took me all night to figure out how that red magnet works. It's all trial and error. There's a pattern here. Pattern changes when you change a variable."

"Now it's working beautifully."

He had the stator magnet about 1.5 inches away from the rotor magnets.

"While we were on the phone, he move it a little closer, and said it started spinning faster -- too fast for him to count."

"He's been talking to his attorney to get advice about the right way to proceed with this thing. Apparently, the attorney will be coming over this evening. He's waiting for that before he posts his next video."

"I talked him into at least moving the motor over into the kitchen on the glass table so that it's ready to film."

While we were talking, he had a little crash in which four of the rotor magnets came off.

"He asked me to stop sending him any more magnets. He likes how this one works, and he doesn't want to have to keep re-arranging the rotor magnets with each new stator magnet."

"He said when you change magnet strength, it changes gapping, spacing between rotor magnets and between rotor and stator magnets."

"It's not easy changing orientation of some 50 magnets."

Different shape/type of magnet, have to change it. "If you change something, you have to change everything else." Now here's something fascinating. He said that the stator magnet gets cold. His brother had noted that to him.

"While Mylow and I were on the phone this evening, he took out a thermometer. He said the room temperature was 68 degrees. Then he put it on the magnet and started reading the temperature as it dropped down to about 55 degrees F. This was at around 7:14 pm, some four minutes after he stopped the motor."

He said the rotor magnets were at room temperature.

"It did that with iron magnet too."

In his present set-up, the bottom of the stator magnet is level with the bottom end of the protrusion of the top of the rotor channel magnets. When he started the motor up again at 7:18pm it took about 15 seconds to reach its equilibrium speed.

He's always talking about the "sweet spot" where the motor starts. That refers to where if he lets go of the rotor it begins turning and accelerates up to its equilibrium speed.

"I asked him what happened if he just gave the rotor a little spin. I got the impression that he'd never tried that before. He is so set on the idea that he wants this thing to self start, that the idea of giving it an initial boost did not occur to him? I may be wrong."

"Anyway, he said, "When I do that [give it a kick start] it starts spinning."

MYLOW Magnet Motor: Update From Sterling Allan

IMPORTANT FE TRUTH UPDATE : This story was later later shown to be a hoax. The MYLOW motor used concealed fishing line which was only spotted weeks later after some video analysis.

Sterling Allan has posted an update over on www.overunity.com forum regarding recent developments with MYLOWs working Howard Johnson Magnet Motor - forum post reproduced below.

"Mylow phoned me this morning. He has received the two alnico magnets I sent him, has been putting them in the motor, and was very excited to tell me about what he was finding.

The smaller of the two, which is just barely larger than the stator magnet he has been using, worked so well that the centripetal force of rotation made some of the rotor magnets fly off. He didn't count the rpms, but he said, "It was going one, two, three, four...", at the speed he recalls, and I would estimate it to be at least 300-400 rpm."

"This overspeed problem can be remedied (we presume) by backing the stator off, so it's not as close.He said that the attraction between the stator and the rotor magnets is so strong he has to hold the stator apparatus to keep it from sliding toward the rotor magnets. I suggested that he tape the base of the rotor to the base of the stator to keep them in position, then use the new screw adjustment mechanism he devised to bring the stator in and out of position."

"He said it was harder to find the "sweet spot" from where the acceleration takes off. He said that the magnet is so strong he could hardly pull the keeper plate off of it. The larger of the two stator magnets is so strong, he said that it accelerates in a pulsing fashion. It jerks as if it's looking for an equilibrium but can't find it, then stops. When it stopped, he said it sucked the rotor magnets off the disc, smacking them into the stator magnet. Before that, he said it made about 12 revolutions."

"In suggesting that he jump on a plane to come here to San Jose to Thursday night's presentation at San Jose State University, he was a little skittish. He'll need to get off work, he wants his wife to come, and she's used up all her paid vacation for the year, and he's never been outside of Chicago. But he said he would start making some calls and get back to me."

"So now we can now say that that stator magnets HS811N from http://www.allmagnetics.com/alnicohoursehouse.htm apparently work on Mylow's motor. Mention the promotion code "PES" to get a 5% discount. I've been talking to Felix there. Now we just need to verify a rotor magnet source that will work. The ones that Sean is using look pretty close. Sean, you ought to get the HS811N and give it a whirl.I'm going to start working up a story page at PESN.http://pesn.com/2009/04/01/9501536_Mylow_magnet_motor_running/ "

"@X1003, give me a call so we can arrange to get Mylow a flight.
@ Everyone. Help us keep http://MylowMagnetMotor.com up to date and accurate. It's going to be getting a lot of traffic. Post notice of your replications on the Replications page, and a one-liner on the "updates" page."

"Build a feature page for your replication if you're going all out like CLaNZeR and carbonc_cc, etc. See how their pages are made and just copy the format using your info. The image upload link is near the bottom of the left hand navigation column."

Exciting times!

Grimer's Theory: The MYLOW Cycle

How and why the Mylow Motor works.

I think even the most devoted chanter of the TINSTAAFL mantra will admit that if one has a isolated North pole, lets it be attracted to a magnetic South pole and then waves a magic wand so that it instantly changed into a magnetic South pole, it will be free lunches all round.

Unfortunately I don't have a magic wand. What about an isolated pole? Well, I seem to remember from my sixth form physics class that we carried out an experimental determination of the force exerted on an isolated pole on the equator of a bar magnet. Of course the pole wasn't completely isolated but it was isolated enough for our purposes. It was a pole at the end of a barbell magnet (pictured below) which was much longer than the bar magnet we were investigating.



As you may remember the force law turns out to be an inverse cube law, the difference between the inverse square repulsion of one pole and the inverse square attraction of the other. Now if we take that barbell magnet and bend it, look what we get. A horseshoe magnet.

In line with the suggestions made in one of my Overunity.com posts we have cut out the interaction term physically represented by the metal in a bar magnet. The shortest distance between the two poles of the bent barbell horseshoe magnet is no longer metal but air. But the rotor magnets are also horseshoe magnets, albeit not very pronounced horseshoes.

So in the limit the Mylow Motor models relatively simple interactions between a lot of isolated poles (down Basil!). The interaction between a horseshoe stator magnet and a group of rotor magnets is illustrated diagrammatically here. The fact that the rotor poles are moving parallel to the stator poles indicates that the inverse third power law is involved. The inverse second power law is obviously involved in the approach and retreat of the rotor magnets to the clusters of magnets.

Thus we have within group interaction and between group interactions to play with. Now the essence of the Carnot power cycle is that it is made up of two power laws, an inverse fist power law (the isothermal legs) and an inverse 5/3 power law (the adiabatic legs). But we have two power laws here as well. In other words we have the necessary components for a BH magnetic power cycle analogous to the Carnot thermal cycle.

A Mylow cycle constructed from these components is illustrated here and below.


I have used the HB Cornell convention for plotting the cycle since it is in line with the stress-strain format that I'm familiar with, i.e. with the active action as ordinate and the passive as abscissa.

Since the Mylow Motor appears to be generating sufficient power to keep the rotor spinning against bearing resistance and windage the interactions between stator and rotor must somehow be cycling an area of the BH diagram. One thing's for sure. This analysis lends support to McCarthy's claim that getting power is just a matter of the way you move magnets around a three dimensional path. Let's just hope he's managed to exploit it as well as Mylow has.


As to the contentious question on where the power is coming from, it has always seemed clear to me that it's coming from the magnetic environment in exactly the same way power can be extracted from a positive and negative offset of the thermal environment or a positive and negative offset of the atmospheric environment. This implies that there must be some absolute zero magnetic potential (pressure) just as there is an absolute zero temperature and an absolute zero for atmospheric pressure.

Of course, such a radical change of viewpoint will create such a enormous amount of cognitive disturbance to the existing theoretical framework that it will only be adopted under the extreme duress of.......an explosion of magnetic motors, perhaps.
