Magnetic Vortex Motor

[tagor]

I couldn't wait and I made a replication. For me, the ring is rotating as well. But I show on the video that rotating is also achieved when holding the ring over a maget alone.
When I move the rope with the ring, after it rotated, it rotates back. And when I replaced the rope with a fishing rope, there was no rotation. Seems that twisted rope gets untwisted, when under pressure. See the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbUc7qFnHDw
Sorry that the text is in Dutch, but the video shows it all.

ok very good !

I don't trust yannicksonic ( this is a con man )
what he is saying ?

I think there is a trick with the string

can you use a nylon string ?
( totaly unfold and stable at the beginning )

As I wrote: when the tring is stretched, it winds back from it natural twist. So yes; that makes it rotate. I also wrote that I already tested with a fishing line (that is not twisted) and it does not work.
What is a con man?

Hmm,

in this video:

he shows it, that it also works
with a not twisted string.

So does it also work when the string
is put on a static stator arm holder ?

No, of course it doesn't. It's just lateral movements of the ring on a moving holder, just like the silly ball and hand held magnet ring. They chase the ball around trying to keep it spinning, and thereby apply propulsion.  The string also winds up and releases.
