New youtube of magnet/coil "perpetual motion"

[Hugo Chavez]

Starcross42 revealed himself as a firstclass twit.  I appologize to everyone for giving the clown any benefit of doubt.  I'm totally floored that he says he was hoping for the level of thinking that would guess a battery or capacitor.  Oh brother.  His lesson is that these things can be faked with a battery/capacitor?  I'm quite sure everyone knew that to be an easy possibility.  Wow, thanks Starcross42   I feel so much smarter now knowing these items can be faked

At least it brought an interesting concept up from Stefan. This is really the cool part about everything. As long as we believe something works we can make our working design out of the vague idea even though it has nothing to do with the original idea, that's how creative minds work.

what do you guys think?  I've watched a lot of this guy's videos and he doesn't seem like the type who would fake something:

This will simply not work. The reason is simple:
When the base of the transistor is activated so the transistor shortcircuits the biggest coil, that biggest coil will not push the magnet away when the magnet is passing, but attract it with backward force - according to Lentz law. He claims that the coil is turned into an electromagnet, that is correct. He also claims that the coil is pushing the magnet away, which is also true, BUT that push is ALLWAYS when the coil is approaching the magnet. Is short: A shortcurcuit coil works like a break on a moving magnet regardless on what direction the magnet is moving.

The concept is still intriguing.

‘Kick’ coils do work. They are the heart of many perpetual motion toys. However, they do not work by ‘opening’ a coil circuit so Lenz does not work during part of the cycle. â€" Not that I have seen.

I’ll give him credit for parts of his pre-reveal theory of operation being original but his build is not.

Hi,
if you consider his build as a "visualisalizion", then it should get some credit too.
... Maybe not by the sophisticated community, but to the common sense and kids imagination.
He wants to leave room for their own creativity.
