Hi all,

@sm0ky2,

Hi, did you try this with a control setup to get a bench mark reading?

soooooo, is this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMvdR7PB5iE&NR=1 for real ?, or is it another thing where something is blowing on it from a distance ?.

Update:

i just went out into the garage and found it to have stopped spinning.

i move the 'wing magnets' ever so slightly, and off she goes..  it'll probably stop again in a little bit.

at this point im gonna have to assume the slight imbalance sets it off, and it finds its resting point after spinning for a while..

i didnt time it, i watched it for a min or two then left it be.

are you giving it a nudge to start it? I haven't found an arrangement that self starts yet.

to "start it" all im doing is making slight adjustments to the wing-magnets, until it finds an imbalanced position and takes off spinning.  theres no "power" to speak of, you could probably blow hard enough to stop this thing
