"solid state free energy device" - rebuilt it but unsuccessful

[Teunis]

Hey folks, I'm new here but I'm very interested in free energy devices.
I'm from Eindhoven, it's a city in the east of Holland and also the original base of Philips (Electronics), also known as Aristona, Erres, MagnaVox, etc.

To my dissapointment there is a lot of fake stuf on the internet.
Today I found a video that attracted my attention for the full length of it.
It was shot in one take and looks promising but also very simple. Too simple to be true but also to simple to be fake... Or?

It claims to be a "free energy device", one person in the comments is claiming he reproduced it successfully.

I tried it today but I don't seem to get it to work, as a lot of people who tried (see comments).
I have the parts connected, got a neodymium magnet from a harddrive but I don't measure anything.

Could this really work? Or is it another hoax? Have I wasted my free saturday?

Is this the right sub-forum for this question?

Hello . Welcome .

wow . that video sure will throw you for a loop . i will go on a limb and say fake . there is no way this can happen this way . In order for current flow you need something inducing a moving magnetic field and a hard drive magnet near a coil isn't it . you can also prove it yourself easy .If it was that easy it would have showed up thru 1000's of experiments with coils and magnets.

most of his stuff i saw was real though like the Joule thiefs and such.. But i tend to no believe it till i make it and see.

keeps us on our toes .

Another wasted saturday? 

another lesson learned . 

My stuff is real on my channel if you care to look . A good place to start is in the JULE THIEF thread . there is easy projects using a single small battery like an aa battery and powering your Christmas tree lights .

My Channel is here and this is my latest projects . been at for several years and learn something new every day .

Solid state facepalm. He should have at least included a bit of UFO hull material in the circuit. Inserted properly into the coils, it will boost your COP by at least infinity, if not more. If he is all out of ufo hull material, I have some that I'm not using.... I'll sell it cheap. (I've found something that works much better.)
