DeBunk This

How about this one then?  I think he'd get the heck shocked out of him if this one was supplied by mains power through thin wires or such.

I'm still not convinced about the wireless power system either, but I think this video pretty much rules out mains power getting to the bulb at least.

Well for a good portion of the video,he holds the device at right angles to the bench top. This would mean that any inductive coupling between a driver coil,and receiver coil is decoupled.
The two motors look un-modified to me,you can see both big rotors still turning as they should.
Even the shorted turns are still on both stator cores.

  This one we are looking at:

  -----is still a major puzzle along with the Chinese one.  The induction explanation doesn't work for me because of the angles and distance.  I don't think that a hidden battery or super cap is the answer either.  If they are hiding a power feed wire then they are doing a really good job of it.  Perhaps it is video editing?  I have seen about three or four running example videos and two non-running failure videos.  I'm not seeing anything that shows a clear description of how this could possibly be real.  It is faked --but how?

I think there's an edit at 3:45 just after he changes the "polarity" of the wire connection to the second motor. But that still doesn't explain how it's done.

I could do it, but not "simply". It would take a lot of work, cutting away the hidden parts of the cores inside the coils and stuffing things in there like a battery and some electronics. Somehow I doubt that this is how it's done; there must be a simpler system.

As far as wireless power is concerned, I'm not too worried about the orientation; I don't think there's any rule that says he has to be using a single wireless transmitter in just one plane!  But I'm still not completely convinced that is the answer, either.

Well,we know for sure that it dose not work as claimed-dont we?
But as of yet,we dont know how it dose work,or how they do it. Some of the video's could be done,but some seem to be a little more tricky.

The last video you posted TK,looked to have some kind of paper mash around the bulb.
Perhaps a hidden power source in the bulb,but that still leaves the motor.

I have two of the very same shaded pole motors now,so i will keep at it until i can achieve the effect.

  I am still working on this and today I got the idea that perhaps the rotors are not rotors but PM motors.  I threw together a little setup to test the idea and after working with it decided that this is not the way.  Too much cogging in the motors. I made a video to show what it looked like:

Back to the drawing board for me.

This is what I thought might have been used but I don't think so now.
