    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.

    • @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.

  • @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...

  • @LLAACountyJail
    @LLAACountyJail 8 лет назад +45

    Yes. I watched the entire video..... Why?? Because smart people areusing and expanding their minds to figure out a way to use this someway. You get one 1/4 second action to get 5 minutes of action, movement, or energy output and you can best believe I will sleep on this. And even If I dont come up with something, it was a great brain exercise. Anytime very little effort produces that much output, it needs to be improved and used and sold or marketed. So you guys who are smart, think about this.. Make a our world a better one.. Shits goin crazy..

  • @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.

      Ken Wheeler shows that magnets aren't attracted to each other. They are attracted to a vortex between the magnets. You can see this with a Ferrocell. Or, in Ken Wheeler's videos, Ken's newer videos.

  • @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.

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?

  • @BradE500
    @BradE500 8 лет назад +6

    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.

    • @BradE500
      @BradE500 8 лет назад

      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.

    What if you put a grain, right in the middle of the magnet bellow that touches the glass?! It will never stabilize and perhaps run for longer as the angle created by the grain and the border of the magnet will avoid it to fully stop when the surface of both magnets get really close to each other. I believe that with just text I became the ultimate master of suspense now. Hitchcock got nuthing on me and you too mister Latheman. :D

    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.

      Duane Potgieter Actually, the amount of energy put in is the amount of energy you get out of it. An application of this sort would not be achievable for the reasons that perpetual motion is a current impossibility and all magnets, no matter how strong, can and will eventually lose their magnetism.

    • @wongho3482

      Polish the edges of the contacting magnet, and the glass surface, to as fine and perfect a finish as you can get (atomically smooth). That will really make the thing go for even longer! (Every bit of sound from spinning is an indication of a loss of angular momentum as the spinning disk rolls over asperities in the glass surface.) Very cool vid!

      I was thinking, if you had a spiral coil under it. Charging tiny caps array. Then once charged, dumping to a bigger cap array. Then once charged dumping to a coil that sits off to one side.... maybe it'll run from now on. Reminds me of that coo-coo clock I seen that operated that way.

      Mongrel Shark Have you seen that clock I'm on about? I seen it like 10 years ago or more. Was very cool. Dude had 2 neo magnets on the pendulum part, and as it swung it went into and back out of the edge of a couple of coils (2 magnets above one another) 2 coils (over and under) one another to one side of center. Wind coil spring, let clock go (was a 28 day spring I think) after about 14 days it had enough stored in the big cap array to run a DC motor that wound the spring completely again.

    So what's insane? The fact that minimal friction between two solid rolling surfaces (like in any bearing, but with only one, not preloaded contact point, instead of number of balls x 2, preloaded contact points) means minimal energy lost in a well balanced system? That's insane? Nope, insane is the sad reality that this shitty click-bait title managed to bring in almost 2 milion viewers...

      +Twiggy the lizard how do you measure the amount of output energy? By the time it runs? In zero gravity and void, it would run forever. It's called inertia. It doesn't run long because of "high output energy", but because "low losses through low friction".

      Let me explain. Spin a dish on a work surface so it goes wobba wobba wobba round and round for 16/20 seconds before stopping. Now that is an upside-down version of your magnet trick - the magnetic pull being replaced by gravity as the propulsion, rather than magnetic pull. You ain't winning no Nobel Prize for your childlike observation
