Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

I took the video apart.  As it turns out, the rotor is striped radially in quadrants - except that the fourth quadrant doesn't have the stripe.  This allows us to positively identify the location of the rotor in each frame.  The first frame or two happen before the strobe turns on - so I skipped them.  Then, the next 4 frames happen with the strobe turned on and I captured them.  Notice that the stator seems not to move almost at all.  But, in reality, we see that the stator has moved ~360 degrees (follow the location of the missing stripe in the rotor in the four frames - showing that it has moved 90 degrees in between each frame).  Now I'm not as sure about the reliability of my earlier statements regarding the lack of speed changes in the stator.  Can we really tell whether the stator slows down or not if each frame represents slightly more than 360 degrees of stator motion?  To tell the truth, I'm not sure what it all means anymore...

well.. i think youre wrong. in the time the camera has taken one picture frame the strobe has flashed 3 times. thats why you see 3 strips, its all the same strip, in 3 places.

this can easily be seen by the identical writing at the end of all 3

Yes, there is only one strip, single frame time not quite long enough to capture a 4th strobe.

that would confirm 4:1, every time that the rotor moves 1/4 turn the stator has gone around 360...

So - you think the rotor is moving 270 degrees between each frame?  That would make sense too.  That would also mean that the stator is revolving 1080 degrees between each frame.
