Another YouTube Claim

[capthook]

Here's a message I received from alan3djoseph - the creator of the video in response to my comments posted on his youtube video:

First of all: Congratulations on figuring out how i made this video!

Anyone with some basic knowledge of fisics should know that whyle static magnets have a force, one needs to put in energy to create Work. A magnet is just like a spring. It can only store energy. Creating energy is an entirely different matter. If people are actually ignorant enough to not see this and is willing to throw his or her money into replicating this 'device'. It's their own responsibillity. It's meant as a joke. Any good joke needs some time. I'll tell everyone it's video effects before it gets out off hands.

In the mean time, you'll understand my need to remove comments like yours. Nothing personal.

I really do hope someone will find a way to prove scientist wrong and create a working overunity device. But in the mean time. Let's not take anything to serious. A bit of fun never killed anyone.

I responded along the lines of (didn't save the message)

Your video may be responsible for people spending money and wasting time trying to replicate the device.  While you may think something like the device is impossible - and if people are stupid enough to believe it's real, too bad for them - there are many that believe it MAY be possible and are working to create one.  To waste their time and money on replications as well as contributing to skeptisim of the general public that something like this may be possible with your fraud of a video - IS LAME!

This looks real.  If the guy hadn't admitted to a hoax we would probably still be wondering. So if its so easy to fake a video, how to tell if its real or not?  We can't believe or eyes anymore?  What to do?

Very clever hoax, I`d like to see a tutorial of how the video was put together.

But easier to fake with a pulse coil/ rotating magnet off camera...
