the original video is removed from yuotube.


Maybe Querdenker or Clanzer want to replicate this setup 

It appears to slow down around 2:02, speed up, then slow down again just before he stops it.

perhaps the rotor is being attracted to the wristwatch he has on his right arm. it's barely visible under his sleeve as he moves his hand in and out of the shot.

This is ofcourse possible, but a smooth approach towards a spinning magnet should not affect the rotor that much. If this is the case anyways, there must be a considerable attraction between his wristwatch and the motor - so much so the motor should "jump" instantly towards his wristwatch. This did not happen. My gut feeling anyways. I am still sceptic

When was the original video posted?

at 0:43 you can see the rotor move as his hand nears the vertical support. it appears to be attracted to his wristwatch at this point in the video. or he bumped it with his hand, hard to say from the camera angle.

anyone else notice the magnet on the inside of the wheel @ 0:59? and the hole 90 degrees from it...

its not a wristwatch. it is just "jaggies" from the video. You see the same artifact/effect with the spinning white piece.

i know what video aliasing looks like... and i wasn't assuming that was his watch. i was assuming the bulge underneath the black of his shirt was.

i was just following suit and tossing out assumptions with the 'string theory' guys.

edit: i am on a handheld, when i get to a pc where i can grab a screenshot i will show you where i am assuming a wristwatch is. i apologize for the way i orginally said it, i can see how it would give you the impression i meant the 'jaggies'.

so much so that the motor should "jump" instantly? really? you know then the weight of apparatus and the strength of the magnets? as well as the amount of resistance via friction provided by the pads around the circumference of the base to the table? is this then possibly the reason he so carefully keeps his hand low on the apparatus when adjusting it's position?

He he, no, I don't know anything about the weight , but what I can assume from what I see, like how fast the rotor stops, tells me something about the relative relationship between the mass in the wheel, and the time it takes to slow it down. If the wristwatch are the reason why the rotor slows down, there must be a relationship between the attraction to the steel in the watch and the magnetic properties of those neo-magnets that can tell if the attraction between those two are strong enough to pull them together. The rest of the machine are basicly plastic and wood, and probably quite light weight.

Also one other thing is the fact that eddy currents would be the main reason why this motor slowed down. If eddy currents was this strong, on that distance, of a relatively small watch, the pull between the neos and the watch would be quite extreme.

The careful movement of the motor is possibly because he want to keep the motor exactly in the same position on the table. The motor does not seam that fragile, that he couldn't handle it less carefully.

After a few clips on u-tube with "working" magnet motors, there has never been a single demonstration of a motor that is totally independent of the surroundings - in spite of several questions about the this particular way to really proove a working magnet motor. The inventor of this this particular motor should already know in advance that the sceptics would question the surroundings and suspect a possible hidden power source.

I hope this motor is good stuff, but I am very scaptic to the way he demonstrate the motor.

EDIT: I read the previous posts, and wached the end of the video again - there is no wristwatch... maybe hidden under his sweater...
