Tri-Force Magnets - Finally shown to be OU?

[Omnibus]

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.

Can't you stay for a while with it while spinning and even make a video? Does it spin for, say, 10min or so?

Don't take is apart and try to give as many details as possible so that we can reproduce it. I saw the addition in your previous post but what are the polarities of the triangle? These wings are also interesting.

Can't you make another one with wings from the sticks as @CLaNZeR did and see if it would work?

i'll put those things on my list.. right now im gonna make a whole schlough of these that interact with each other, and see how much fun we can actually have here

@klicUK,

If I spin it by hand it turns for a while but the deceleration is obvious.

Hi All
As I said before you can find a video and describtion of how this works in the Minato wheel group that I posted a while back and sm0ky's right the inbalance makes it work I used my hand to hold the stator and I could keep it going for ever with the shakiness of my hand also as I said it when I discovered it I new it didn't have enough force to do anywork but it showed me you can make magnets spin using permanent magnet, oh one more thing was when I placed the stator magnet under it to get it spinning and removes that magnet it increased speed for a while and keep spinning with nothing there for a time.
Take Care All

@smOky2,

Can you tell us more about this? The video you've posted is so dark one can hardly see anything there. I'm using the 'supermag' sticks and balls and side wings are also made of these pieces but I'm not getting anything. worth showing.

Does your thingy self-start or you had to apply an initial push?

@Omnibus

The octahedral spinner started with a YouTube video made by a novice who discovered an interesting "magnetic contraption."

It was first noticed by Bourne:

In addition to sm0ky2, CLaNZer has replicated the octahedral spinner
