    If you put a steel ball bearing at the top of the stack under the shelf you will get it to spin for an even longer time. There are also some interesting things you can do with coils of wire either to control the spin or to generate small amounts of electricity to light LED's. Have fun experimenting and ignore all the people giving you crap. Anything new to you is worth doing and experimenting with.

      +Latheman666 is cool, but using a generator coil you will stop the free motion due to the lenz force, just try it

    • @carmelpule6954
      @carmelpule6954 9 лет назад +2

      +Ken C But if you put a ball bearing, all you have is basically a simple pendulum effect, where the motion is "smooth" or should I say " analogue" . With the flat disc magnet, the motion is totally different.

    All you are seeing, is the energy you put into the system, by moving it, or rotating it. With such tiny friction at the surface, and tiny air friction, and with gravity assisting the pendulum, you should be surprised to see anything else! No mystery here: just a slow unwinding of the energy you dose the system with.

    • @DJ_Exelar
      @DJ_Exelar 8 лет назад

      +Cursed Handkerchief energy is never added only exchanged. for example a car gets his energy from the potential energy stored in the fuel (so energy stored in fuel changes to movement and heat). in this case the rotary force applied at the start just slowly enchanges in i presume movement of air (not sure, i failed my physics class this sem :p).

  • @christophermoore7093
    @christophermoore7093 8 лет назад +3

    The only reason it lasts longer than you would expect and even longer with a larger disk shaped magnet on the glass is that there's a Lower amount of friction relative to the inertia of the heavy stack (pendulum) and the strong field acts as very good elastic. there is also friction from the air. If you try to do work with that pendulum you would be adding more drag to the system and it will go back to the shorter amount of time oscillating before expending the energy added by the persons hand. Electricity Generators experience more drag from opposing fields as current drawn to do work. There is no such thing as perpetual motion, just more efficient systems that approach but cannot reach an absolute 0 loss, where any work derived from that motion is loss from one system to another. Entropy tends to increase...

  • @doktaahwho8858
    @doktaahwho8858 7 лет назад +3

    The magnetic field has the mechanical characteristics of a gyroscope and the stack of magnets is moving in the polar vortex at the poles of the magnet. This is why a battery and a wire spin on a magnet. The key to over unity is to come up with a configuration to tap the already spinning field and convert it to mechanical kinetic energy.

    • @2tvtv
      @2tvtv 6 лет назад +2

    • @Spedley_2142
      @Spedley_2142 6 лет назад +1

      Yes, I agree that it gives out nore energy than the mass of the magnets implies. The magnetism must be significantly greater then gravity, thus the 'weight' of the magnets in 'up' direction is dominant and counter intuitive to us Earthlings.

      @CitizenSnips69 5 лет назад +1

      I remember I had a set of magnets as a kid. I was watching the grim adventures of billy and Mandy at my grandma’s house when I accidentally swallowed it. I held it a foot above my head, and dropped it into my mouth. It went perfectly straight and dropped down my throat, giving me no chance to stop it.
      Recently I went to have an MRI done and brought this up, asking if it could still be there, putting me at risk for internal injury?
      Technician just callously said “guess we’ll find out” before ushering me into the room. Not a very comforting sentiment...

  • @christophermathers957
    @christophermathers957 7 лет назад +4

    It does this because the stack set in motion is trying to ride a giant bidirectional dielectric current called a hypertrochoid in which mass is heavily alleviated. Because mass is not completely negated and resistance is in consideration, there is a tapering amount of time in which the stack will slowly lose its ability to ride the inertia placed upon it.

    This is a principle called conservation of angular momentum. It's the same reason why an ice skater spins faster as she pulls her arms towards her body.

    If I may make a few predictions. This magnetic discovery is nothing more than a magnetic pendulum that swings in a circular motion. It will behave in the same manner as a weight hung from a string swinging back and forth. The energy of the system never increases, and when he starts the magnet off, its the same thing as when you pull back on the weight of the pendulum and release it from height. The weight will never reach out farther than where it was lifted to originally and will continue to lose energy because of friction. That even in a perfect vacuum, this will eventually come to a stop, just as a pendulum will. You can likely make predictions of how long it will spin based on the strength of the magnetic force, and the mass and geometry of the swinging pieces.
    When I see comments like, why are we not powering our homes with this, it's the same thing as asking why we don't power our homes with a pendulum. It's because we would still need a way of putting energy into the system...and a way of getting the energy out of the system in an efficient manner. Honestly though, I could see it as a possible means of storing energy, temporarily, but the size of the weights and the friction might make it a very inefficient way of doing so.
    In conclusion, this might not be the breakthrough that we are all so desperately looking for to save our planet. Rather, just a seven minute long magnetic pendulum video with some hilarious commentary and a comment section full of optimistic and hopeful individuals who just so happen to have a little more enthusiasm for science than actual scientific understanding.

      +MY TiNY little MiND well like brad said, it would be just so tiring and soooooo hard to push a pendulum a couple times a day to get some free energy for a day in your house. Its soooo much work. Thats why we just pay for it instead.

    • @BradE500
      @BradE500 8 лет назад +1

      You can't honestly think that you could get lasting energy from a pendulum. It produces just enough energy to power a grandfather clock... now unless you want to be pushing giant pendulums all day long, I suggest you plug into the grid. It would be more efficient to directly spin the generator by hand than to do it through this magnetic device.

    Try polishing the glass on the side with the swinging magnets and polish the edges of the magnet at the end of the stack that touches the glass to make it as perfectly round as possible. Basically try to reduce friction as much as possible. Then run this experiment in a vacuum chamber and it should run for a LONG time.

    • @Apokalypzx
      @Apokalypzx 7 лет назад +3

      True. Now that I think about it, it would get real boring real quick with it taking so long to die.
      Now what would be cool is shining a laser in its path and using the resulting pulses in place of a pendulum for an ultra futuristic retro clock.

      put a transducer on the glass and convert the vibration signal to sound.

    • @IIBLANKII

      Apokalypzx could simply just reduce the surface area of the magnets contact point by putting it on a curved/spherical surface. This will lower the amount of physical friction in the object and when you put it in a vacuum chamber it should lower the air resistance of the object.

    if you placed 3 magnets on the shelf below fixed at just the correct distance in a triangle alignment remember they must be fixed with a couple of pins or tacks the 3 magnets will keep on pulling on the bottom swing motion as if you were to continually swing it with your fingertips and it will never stop swinging it will go on continually.
