Larskro's magnet motor video was a fake - he admits on second video

He now says it is fake with batteries:

The battery looks kind of taller than the coil, why didn't he pull off that fake bolt head instead and show the battery inside? But either way he's just an idiot now in my book.

Yea, this guy, I dunno.

First, like said already above, those bolt heads would have to have been lathed hollow and probably the nut with the bolt screwed to it to fit that battery in there.

And why not show the actual battery if the battery is short enough to fit between the cutoffs of the head and nut of the fake bolt?

Also, when he shows the rotor spinning in one direction, the led's are dim, but in the other direction they are bright. With a battery, the led's should light where ever the magnet is, as long as the coil gets juice from the reed closing, the led's should light during the coil collapse when the reed opens. If there is a battery

If he would have pulled the hollowed out bolt cap off of one of those coils, I wouldnt be writing this.

The schematic is correct as in the led's will only light when there is coil collapse.

But I wanna see the coil taken apart to see that battery, the battery he shows in the vid. I realize that the wire is supposedly wound around the battery, but just leme see the top or bottom of the battery in one of those coils.

Dang, its hard to believe and admitted faker.  lol   Cant even get that right.

I just reread my post and looked at the schematic again. I can be tricky with the battery being where it is.

Im not really sure if the schematic is correct. Will try after dinner just to see if the led lights on a coil in the circuit config in the schematic.

The reason being is, the collapse would produce a continued forward current when the reed opened. If so, then the battery should be powering the leds all the time. It is an odd setup. Current would have to reverse through the battery to light the led.
Unless the reed stays closed most of the time and the led(diodes) are reversed in the schematic, by accident? Thus not allowing current to the led's because the reed is closed(short across the coil, batt, resistor in series)?

Odd indeedy.

This bit I know: Sometimes we believe what we want to believe.

The bit I don't understand is grown up people behaving like juveniles even if they admit to their deeds.
