Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

This "motor" is to be ignored.

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.

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.

@fritz,

Is the method you mentioned above capable of providing a quantitative picture of the field around a magnet?

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 too many manual influences that would induce rotation..

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.
