I dont think this has been shown here yet. Seems like an easy build.

Looking at his channel, it may be a vid done by someone else.

Mags:
This was discussed and debunked (Proven fake) in another topic area sometime last year. Even Lidmotor made a replication including the hidden wires. It does not work without them.

Yes
it was looked at in great detail
This one especially Bothered the Koala due to his familiarity with the apparent MO [electrostatics ].
But I think a fan [wind] was eventually determined as the power source ?

Chet:
You may be remembering correctly about the fan. I believe that Lidmotor used very fine wires for his and it worked also but the verdict may have been a fan as suggested. So many fakes...too many details to remember, ha ha.

Here is the motor I made. It is a true electrostatic device run by an out of sight HV source.

The fake video device I think was run by two tiny motors mounted in the fat rotor shaft. It would never run the way he described.

Yep. It's not too hard to find tiny little motors that will run quite well on a superthin CR2016 button cell.

Yes that is what I think he used. Two of those on each end of the drinking straw rotor shaft. The V shaped rotor supports hold the motor shafts fixed while the whole motor rotates. The power source could be as simple as watch batteries inside the straw.
I was going to build one of these up but I only had one motor on hand. Much of this guy's great 'illusion' was his sincere dialogue that went along with the demonstration. How many times have we seen that happen before?
