That's what I was thinking too, but wouldn't those dangly things on
his
table lamp serve to indicate air flow? They look rather heavy, but
also look
like they hang loose enough to indicate a fairly small breeze.

My comments were not directed at Mylow's work, but rather were
general answers to questions on the list as to how to make a
fraudulent magnetic motor perpetual motion machine on video. I
haven't watched many of the videos (I think only two in fact) nor
have I had time to follow the discussion. I don't recall any lamp.
I don't get excited about the Mylows or Steorns, etc. I do enough
experiments, based on my own stupid and unlikely to impossible
principles, to satisfy me, and have plenty of ideas in the queue for
when I eventually get time to pursue them. If someone comes up with
the impossible and useful that is great, and there now seems to be
plenty of amateurs around eager to replicate magnetic motor stuff, so
I seldom see anything I'd be willing to spend time or money on
replicating. Magnetics are complicated enough that self deception is
very easy. Given the rigor with which COE in the magnetic world has
been proven, I think coming up with magnet based perpetual motion
machine would take some very unusual stuff based on principles
outside the ordinary behavior of magnets. I must say I feel a little
bit hypocritical saying this, given the numerous experiments I've
done involving nothing more than magnet and coil arrangements and
movements. However, this pretty well sums up my experience.
