Another YouTube Claim

[sterlinga]

I phoned Joseph a few minutes ago to ask about this motor, to get some details about its assembly components, run time, etc.

Joseph replied, "I'll have to be honest with you. I'm a video editor by trade. There are three separate videos involved:" the motor, the clock, and the meter. He combined those to come up with the visual effect seen in the video. "I think it's pretty funny," he said, and he asked to let the spoof run out a little longer before exposing it. He's entertained by the responses it is generating quite prolifically.

Thanks for the info and the validation of my analysis of being multiple videos superimposed.  I posted a comment on his youtube site similar to my comments here.
He replied on his youtube site and replied to my youtube site that it was not a hoax.
My comments on his youtube site have since been deleted.... guess he doesn't want the 'cat out of the bag' yet! 

Your comment:
"It does make a point about the validation process, and that a video alone is not adequate. That said, a video showing a walk-around, with different angles and shadows cast by the videographer, would be much more difficult to contrive in this manner."

With today's computer power/software it's become so much easier to fake a realistic video.  Even the walk around can be faked.  But - the shadows cast by the videographer during the walkaround would be DIFFICULT to do - but can still be done by someone with enough talent. 

Thus - the only REAL validation of a device is replication by others producing the declared results.
(but the replications could all be hoax videos as well - oh dear! )

At least i was right about a hoax

I have seen motors like this before, but this one spins a lot faster.. it is real, but can it be up scaled and create enough energy to be useful?

He got me.. LOL.. I have learned my lesson.

Don't you people think it's a bit too convenient that he called it fake? I mean why admit it being fake? Doesn't make much sense to me. Of course the skeptics will love this. I'm open minded about everything. As long as the guy is willing to share under open source I don't care about his initial claims, even if it's a unicorn capturing device :p, as long as he open sources it it's all fine to me. If he doesn't get convinced I just tell him goodbye and move on.
