New accelerating lego magnet motor on youtube

[hartiberlin]

Hi,
here is a new "lego perpetuum mobile"
done from lego and some permanent magnets
and some rubber bands acting as gears:

I hope that it is no fake.

Looks like the arm magnets individually rotate once per 1/2 rotation of the whole mechanism.  I need to look at it frame by frame in more detail, but it also looks like at each 90deg each arm magnet cycles continously from repulse to attract with respect to each of the stationary magnets. 

So its a magnetic planetary system, rotation and revolution.  But in this case, the rotation of each arm magnet moves the bands to create the central rotation of the entire mechanism (which is revolution from the arm magnetic planet perspective).

IF this isn't a fake, I should think you could model this in software.  And of course it should be easy to replicate as well. 

I think I'll have some Guinness and come back later to look again!

Forget the frame by frame, just listen for the click of the switch as the camera moves off center obscuring part of the setup.

G'day all,

Me on another thread about the same device:

G'day all,

Wishful thinking FreeEnergy,

It is obvious the device is driven by a motor concealed inside the box it is sitting on.

When you have a close look at the rotor magnets and their behaviour (by going through the video frame by frame) you will see that the magnets do NOT impart rotation to the device but react to an outside force.

Sorry fellows, someone's idea of a joke.
