s that it is blatently obvious it is a crack or it is a string of some type. I have only seen the fuzzy version but it appeared to be moving.

Looking again it does appear to be more like a gap in the molding, or the gap between the 'motor' base and the wall/molding. (or a shadow or whatever)  The 'movment' may be due to pixilation.
I can't imagine using black line, and it seems to be out of place - too far back/towards the wall to align with the shaft.

Funny - Sterling has already posted this vid to his updated story.  Guess he's too tired right now to 'debunk the debunkers'

My 2nd opinion is that this video debunk is not accurate.

@Pirate
I don't have an extra T-shirt to print this on
"No Tony, it's ok, you can let go.  Tony, you can let go now it's ok"
But I do have a YT compilation video, you mind if I do?

Go ahead.  Those are Mylow's words anyway.  Just check to see if I quoted accurately or not.  I believe it is close.



@ Hans:

Will you be traveling to the US on your book tour?  If so, stop in and I will buy you all the beer you can drink.  I would like to order an advance copy.

I did the experiment with the (neo) magnet sliding along a steeply inclined aluminium plate as show in X00000013's video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqL3Byy9mDA

My findings confirm the effect visible in the video:
Depending on which magnetic pole faces the aluminium plate, the magnet was sliding slowly down or - when the other pole faces the plate -  it jumped off the steeply inclined plate.

My theory:
The movement of the magnet relative to the plate - i.e. the sliding movement - creates eddy currents in the plate which in turn possess (or create) a magnetic field.

Depending on which pole of the magnet faces the plate, the sliding magnet gets attracted to the plate (or the field that is created in the plate by the eddy currents, see above) or the magnet gets repelled from the plate.

If the magnet gets (slightly) repelled from the plate it will slide faster or even jump off.
If the magnet gets (slightly) attracted to the plate, it slides slower due to increased drag/friction.

Good job TK, and everybody else involved...
