Another YouTube Claim

Suppose the other video on that link from his brother should give it away really.

Think these guys are out to fool for a bit of fun 

Normally that would be enough to convince me that it is a hoax, but I have seen other magnetic wheels like this that somewhat worked, but eventually stopped.

Good stuff mate

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

I tried many variations.. and even lost a few flying mags.. LOL.. But it you can make it levitate.. It always has the same results.. Spins, oscilates, stops.

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.

So do you think the video is real or a hoax?

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?

It looks to me that the bottom disc has two magnets at each point, one on each side, but then maybe its a reflection, though I doubt it because I think he is using the attraction to hold the magnets on the disc as I don't see any sign of adhesive anywhere.

As to the wires on the top and bottom discs, who knows, maybe the induced fields in both the top and bottom wires interact in some weird chaotic manner to sustain rotation, but then maybe not?

If it is real.. He balanced it better than I did, so perhaps the oscialations come later for him and he can get it to spin past 10min.. But I guarantee it comes to a stop..
