Working Attraction Magnet Motor on Youtube!?

[Omnibus]

@bill
your observations are spot on. I have seen this many times on different devices.
I do appreciate all the replications and ideas put forward here. I remain open minded that something may come of this but at this stage I agree with you unless further evidence is provided. There has been a long history of devices that have failed to be replicated.
the next hurdle if one did run is to see if the magnets loose their power....
Kind Regards

Not so. Magnets losing their power is of no concern at all. Show it running after it self-starts. That's enough for it to be a perpetuum mobile.

Instead of gluing the screws on..... without having to rebuild a new device

Nothing faster and easier then hot glue. Removing does not even leave holes!!

I've posted another replication attempt on YouTube

still no luck I'm affraid.

@klickUK:

Nice replication there...good work.  The "working" model had a slight angle of the platter but other than that, I don't see anything different in your attempt.  The magnet attracts the largest mass which in this case is the head of the screw.  I would not expect anything different based upon my own experiments.

Hey, here is an idea.  If this guy is selling these "working" devices on the internet, why does someone from here not buy one and report on it?  Hopefully, the charge won't be too high, but probably less than some of you have spent on replication attempts.  Then, when someone from here has their hands on one, it can be fully evaluated in a scientific, verifiable manner.  Then we will know for sure.  Just a thought.

To be honest after the first replication I did - which I admit was a rush job and a pretty dismal attempt - it was obviouse that this would not work. As you say, the strongest attractive force is to a screw head directly beneath a magnet. Why would the other screws (that pull equally in both directions) have enough attraction to 'their' stator magnets, to dislodge the screw directly below a magnet. The result is exactly what I would expect. I will however, in the interest of science and fairness, continue to play with the device a little longer. More on the stator configuration I think.
