New Russian Permanent magnet motor ?

Well, Cat, you did not watch the video carefully.

Please watch it again and have a look at minute:
0:53 to 1:17

There he holds his hand and stator magnet very steady without moving and the rotor keeps
on accelerating.

This is totally different what Minato and TK have shown...

There may be something to this. I agree with Stefan, in that it does not appear the stator moves much at all.

It also appears he has taped some magnets and perhaps some shielding material together for his magnets. It's quite clear that this is different than the typical Minato type motor, due to the wide spacing between magnets, and only 4 large ones for the entire rotor.

The key would be to know what's under the tape, but somehow I doubt we'll find out. Do we know anyone that speaks Russian that can email this guy?

This is a fake.  It's not the Minato effect, the magnets are flying by too fast for a person to consciously or unconsciously react.

I bet that there is a nearly mirror-image setup underneath the table affixed to the bottom of the table and lined up with the setup you see on top of the table.

There is a computer fan motor with a foot-switch to turn it on an off.  Th fan motor has a CD mounted on it with the same or similar accompanying magnets.

When he turns on the fan motor underneath the table with his foot-switch you get a "slip" motor between the setup on top of the table and the setup underneath the table.  A slip motor starts off with very low torque and there is a "slip" between the driving rotor (underneath) and the driven rotor (on top).   Eventually the driven rotor "catches up" with the driving rotor and they become synchronous.  However, it can work in "slip" mode continuously also.

With some practice with the foot switch, and the perfect foot-hand coordination that everyone innately has, you can make a convincing fake demonstration.

I love that Communist-ear wood-chip tablecloth also.  (Or is that toilet paper?  lol)

I do notice one thing:

Normally you could get it turning by "wobbling" your hand a little. But when you watch closely you will see that the CD with the magnets isn't aligned exactly at the center. So it "wobbels" a bit while spinning. Could this wobbeling give the same effect as a "wobbling" hand?
