New permanent magnet motor on youtube from Roobert33

[MarkSnoswell]

I'd like to see this running inside a bell jar (or plastic enclosure), on an open frame so we can see underneath it -- and running for at least 10 min.

rapid acceleration at the beggining + rapid stop at the end = fake = waste of time

10 min are the limit for youtube, isn't it? Anyway, I think your request will never be met People has been asking for such setups many times, but no new videos... They removes the original videos, rather than displaying the truth.

I'm looking forward to any replications that will prove/disprove this design. The video doesn't rule out the possibility of the rotation coming from blowing air.

I've created a page about this over at http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:_Mechanical_Opener_for_V-Gate_Magnet_Motor

and I've made an animation gif.

Hey Everyone,

Just a quick observation in case you missed it. If you look closely at the 'magnets' that he has in the V track, you'll notice that the ends appear to be faced off (as in turned on a lathe to create a smooth finish). This seems to imply that the track is not actually made up of magnets (Neos would actually have a smooth, mirror finish on the ends, not a machined look). These are probably slugs of magnetic steel used to attract to the magnet on the moving arm.
