If only it was that simple..

edit -- if any of you are crazy enough to try this.. use tape and not super glue. 

   AWWW come on guys and gals. I would not even try to call this a hoax. This was just plain fun all the way. He let it run for a bit and then when called on it, spilled that he was in fact into video and it was just video editing. Clean slate and a good job of it too. 

  On the other side of the coin, if you had two platters with same poles out then it would bend it down trying to get to each other. Total lock up. Like poles and you will indeed get a mag bearing like the one I made. I bought a bunch of ferite 8's and made on ten inches in diam. Rotor had mags both sides set to an angle and two rings on the outside so it sat in a well. No way to balance it right but that thing would spin forever on  a good hard push. And, there was no cogging, but you could feel a slight irregularity in the rotor if moved slowly.
   Using small round mags, it would be easier to make that smaller and more strong so the outside of the rotor could be used for something useful.

   And... you notice, it had magnets and Clanzer was all over it. The man just loves magnets.

I responded along the lines of (didn't save the message)

Your video may be responsible for people spending money and wasting time trying to replicate the device.  While you may think something like the device is impossible - and if people are stupid enough to believe it's real, too bad for them - there are many that believe it MAY be possible and are working to create one.  To waste their time and money on replications as well as contributing to skeptisim of the general public that something like this may be possible with your fraud of a video - IS LAME!

I don't think I'm stupid for thinking beyond conventional thinking.. I think there has to be a way to capture the energy from magnets and gravity.  I think our best bet is to combine the two to make some kind of magnetic gravity wheel.

Now I'm more aware of the hoaxers.
