He has made a very low friction bearing by using the magnets in replusion mode.

All magnets have their north pole facing upwords.

I guess we can revoke that theory.

I would not revoke it too fast

As TheOne points out at 40 seconds that the rotor is floating. This would not happen if N pole were facing up on all Rotor and Stator magnets?

I will stay open minded as usual, and would love to see a new video from these guys with it on a glass table and running another magnet over the existing magnets to show the poles.

I would like to see someone from here that we can trust build this.. so simple.  I don't have the magnets.. but if no one will build it.. I'll buy them.  The top wheel has 3 magnets stacked and the bottom has only one magnet (at each point).. I don't think that the magnets have to be tied together with a wire, but maybe?

Well it is easy to replicate.. I just tried it.. I used 8 sets in the center and stator and used 8 on the wheel..Not 6.. Its harder to balance only 6 sets.. But anyways.. Best I could do was get it to spin for a couple minutes and then it oscilates and comes to a stop with an aparent wall.

I used 48 neo's. 2 on the oposing sides and 1 on the bottom or top to hold the two neos.

Have not got enough disc magnets here, plenty of small ring magnets, but not 10mm * 4mm.

Also after spending half the day out in the workshop working on another project, I cannot be assed to go out there again

Will see how others do in the next couple of days and if no one has tried will order up some magnets of same size and see if she goes.

Good stuff mate

So were all your poles facing North upwards on Rotor and Stator, or did you try different combo's?
