New youtube of magnet/coil "perpetual motion"

I've posted a synopsis page here:

I was first made aware of this yesterday.

I watched that story unfold in amazement. The coil is a good idea and used in toys. I was most amazed at the amount of people latching onto it as a real free energy device even though the author showed the real workings. When the capacitor was revealed I understood it as an energy storage device. I'm sure the author assumed most would see it that way.

Nowhere did I understand it was a hoax. The author offered it more as a lesson, to the chagrin of many.

His other videos seem to be good lessons. Many of the folks visiting these OU sites would benefit from watching them.

Thanks for posting that.  I already knew it was a hoax but, I'll bet there are still folks out there watching his original videos and wasting time trying to replicate his device.  It is very good to get the word out.  Good work.

I wouldn't refer to it as "wasting time". His device works, just it's not perpetual motion. Some of the concepts from it seem like they could be used in a real magnet motor.

Not really.  A hoax is a hoax for a reason.
