New youtube of magnet/coil "perpetual motion"

[BEP]

I mentioned the battery, in my provided link, because it WAS the difference between my link and the YouTube poster under discussion.

As far as this YouTube poster's line, he hasn't changed. The last few seconds of his video seemed sarcastic. I understand him to still believe, there is no free energy from magnets, and OU researchers are still fools.

BTW:

It is obvious to me, there is no capacitor in his coil, either. The transistor simply turns on, opening the coil, thereby removing Lenz from the problem as the magnet recedes from the coil.

The important parts are:
1. The magnet approaches the coil perpendicular to the axis of the coil
2. The magnet is attracted to the coil core but is resisted by Lenz in the coil.
3. As the magnet approaches the coil, Lenz is a strong factor so the approach is 'cushioned' and 'delayed'

well, could be worse, it wasn't made by Desertphile

Regarding the video of the device, my feeling at the moment is that it is a fake. The professor will probably conclude the charade by saying "you see just look how easy it is to fool the lunatic OU researchers".

The irony is that the concept he was using for the scam (shorting coil) does in fact hold some hidden secrets.

Here are some reasons as to why I think it's a fake:

1)
He has made a video in the past explaining just why free energy is impossible in any electromagnetic device:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIgdPV8idFI&feature=channel_page
note: in this video he includes an hilarious out-takes section at the end where his young nubile helper "chelsea" is clutching his tube and asking for directions about how to react to the stunning demonstration of Lenz's law... yawn...

2)
In his introduction speech he states: "I've had a lot of flack from people who want to teach about perpetual motion"

3)
The lego base is very thick, more than thick enough to conceal batteries like lipo packs etc.

4)
He uses an old muffin fan as a bearing, but he leaves the stator and magnet strip in place. At the same time he states how he has to use more coils to overcome friction. If I had been battling with friction, I would have removed everything out of the muffin fan except for the bearings which I would clean and relube with thin oil. I suspect he left the motor intact and the unconnected red and black wire don't tell the full story of soldering extra power wires to the drive board.

5)
At one point he states that it will run on 2 coils but 3 coils are definitely needed if you hang the base board on a wall like a picture. It would be impossible for the lego axle extension to support the lateral weight of the washing machine wheel. I have such a wheel, although it is cast alloy it has considerable weight. We know the lego axle extension is not glued together, he demonstrates dismantling prior to running, this doesn't add up.

6)
At the end of the vid he added on a little, to my ear sarcastic, voiceover stating "invest now, opportunities for those with the foresight for the future, free energy from the vacuum of space...etc..."

The type of character that propogates misinformation is in my mind a very undeveloped character, I pity such a character, I really do!

The coil concept is interesting and worth a look.

Otherwise, I think the debunker is now the debunkee.

There's an obvious cut and splice at 5:20-5:21, probably the real reason why he has the audio separate from the video.
