New accelerating lego magnet motor on youtube

[Ergo]

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

There is no real click sound. Just some microphone clatter.
But as always, I don't thrust a video not showing the whole setup. And there shall be no editing.
In this case the whole area around and below the motor is not shown.
Then he should also lift up the lego device from the table to show no hidden wires.
Finally he should disasemle the whole unit in front of the camera to show no hidden built-in motors and small batteries.
Period.

I have quicky analyzed the video. The magnets are not working in the way the "inventor" had in mind. The rotor is accelerating in positions where stator and rotor magnets are facing and approaching the same polarity, and retarding where the magnets are facing and approaching the oposite polarty - more or less randomly . I guess the magnets are made of plastic, and there is a motor under the table...

Even though this video is fake. Is everyone in agreement that this idea/concept is not worth attempting?  Has anyone try to replicate this?

The sad thing about magnets is that they will allways interfere with each other. The sum of repel and attraction is allways zero. The reason is simple: You cannot destroy or create magnetism on demand without using energy. Destroying and creating magnetism is the only reason why electro motors are running, but not motors with permanent (None-altering) magnetism.
No matter how you configure magnets, and no matter how you shape them, or mix it with iron, - destroying or creating magnetism cannot be done on demand - according to scientists and magnet manufacturers.

"Why don't you just turn the magnet around to create an oposite magnetism". Turning a magnet which is "busy" with attracting another magnet, is hard to twist - it recuires energy to do that.

So: Motors based on permanent magnetism only (Regardless if it is DC-electromagnets or permanent magnets), simply don't work.

I think you are right. I'm already working on this last experiment. I recreated this wheel but I need to get some plastic gears made. If this doesn't work I'm going to throw in the towel. I already spent a small fortune on tools, supplies and lots of time. I think the stirling engine has potential. It's already known to work. It just needs to be sized up to run a large generator head.
