Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

[RunningBare]

Are you telling me there's another source? IE electricity/electric magnets or? under the table? If the motor works just like it shows in the video with just the ring magnet on a steel
ball with magnets arranged in the PVC pipe, then why wouldn't this be feasible?

IMO if it does spin, then why couldn't it be set atop a hard drive motor and made to turn on that? Then connect the inputs which would be outputs to an LED for proof of concept?

What external energy source are you talking about??? Thanks.

The source is the slight movement in his hand, there is an easy way to prove this, place a magnet on a slippery surface, then hold another magnet in your hand like poles facing each other, try pushing down, see how a small movement in your hand causes the magnet on the surface to shoot out from underneath.

Why is that? I tried to replicate it last year with no success. But that doesn't
mean it can't be done just cause I couldn't do it. Have others tried it?

Is it total BS? Just curious. Would appreciate a reply or PM from someone
who knows more about it. Thanks.

I have to question why the rotating magnet is situated on a ball instead of a static bearing arrangement?

I can easily imagine that whilst attempting to maintain the degree of attraction between it and the held magnet, the natural motion of the operators hands in doing so is what sustains rotation as the contact point just off centre from the base of the ball (i.e. reduced radius from axis of rotation) would increase rotation speed of the magnet as it moves around. Alternatively, why not mount the held magnet in a jig at just sufficient height above the desk, instead of holding it? Would that be so difficult to accomplish?

Not convinced of anything at-all by this, other than a farcical demonstration with far to many manual influences that would induce rotation..

Not difficult to accomplish but it won't turn if mounted on a jig.

From Omnibus:

This can easily be reproduced but isn't the motor we're looking for. There are numerous such experiments. We're looking for a motor which doesn't receive energy from an external source which isn't the case here. Just ignore it. Not interesting.

Read @FunkyJive's post.

Now that makes sense. So I guess it's safe to assume that if everything was
mounted still, then nothing would happen?

Again, I've wasted many hours. But if there's a will there's a way. Still looking. Thanks.

This "motor" is to be ignored.

Hi Brad

People are not being blunt with you on purpose mate, just this is a old David Hamel example and has been around along time and discussed over and over again.
I tried a few things with it and have my tesating on my links over at my website.
Also you are taking this thread off topic a little.

Do a search for David Hamel on google and you will soon get hooked on his Cones and forget about the Spinner  .

Extract from my site:

Okay where does David Hamel and the Hamel Spinner come into this?

Well this guy has been milling around for a few years now and most sites that played with his ideas have not been updated since 1999.
For the full low down on David Hamel and pictures of him with the Hamel Spinner check out http://www.world-famous.com/DavidHamel.html

To save me waffling on about who, what and where. Please check the links below that are all related to the Hamel Spinner:

There are many more web pages and doing a search on www.google.com  for hamel spinner should help wet your appetite.

Good luck and have fun.

Cheers
