REAL WORKING MAGNET GRAVITY WHEEL !! It WORKS !!

That video of the guy flying is incredible.  I hope it is not faked somehow...it looks real to me.  Humans are not supposed to be able to make enough horsepower to do that...although, I think it was the Gossamar Condor pedaled powered plane flew like 20 years ago and that was not supposed to be able to happen either.

This video was all over the news several months ago .
He has a webaite and you can probably  buy those birdwings and fly !! Oh coarse someone will say it's fake and we all know that we as experimenters won't believe it till we do it ourselves:)
here's how he did it . it started out as a Dream .
The heart of the system is an Android smartphone. It processes Jarno's arm acceleration and computes the corresponding motor output. The phone is connected to a Seeduino ADK microcontroller, which connects to two Wii Motion Plus and a Wii Nunchuck. These are used to measure the acceleration, motion and all the different parameters required for making the calculations needed for the wing flapping.
After his first successful test, Jarno is ecstatic:: "I have always dreamed about this. But after eight months of hard work, research and testing it all payed off."
Horsepower is just a matter of pulleys like we can lift 1000's of pounds with the help of a couple of pulleys and some rope.If you have ever seen an albatross try to fly and do it then you see it takes big wings to lift that heavy bird.iI have seen them on the beach run and stumble and roll and then run again and take off.

this was an early prototype here  . very cool But They said it was FAkE and an experiment for a Movie TRixTer!
Seems To elaborate for a prop in a low budget movie but look like they tried andd failed so why not make a movie instead .

Totally fantastic.  I understand how he did it now and....all I can say is...WOW!!!!!  He does NOT have the power so, he uses cell phone and video game technology to control electro-mechanical devices that DO have the power.  Pure genius.

***EDIT***  I think this is Nobel prize stuff right here.

Exactly . he uses his arms and strength to assist his little brushless motors on  his wings , motor alone won;t do it but assisted by human strength will . It Ques him to pull on his flappers...


EDIT:::: It was a fake. The power of Suggestion sometimes gives motivation and pure heart break doesn't it.

According to Snopes, the man admitted his fakery.
