Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

@All,

It wouldn't be a bad idea to limit somehow the silly comments and focus on the replication.

It would be interesting to attach 2 electric motors, one on the rotor and one on the stator, then make them run.
For example, the one connected to the rotor running at fixed speed, while the stator at variable speed. By changing the speed of rotation gradually, one could detect when less and less energy is requested to run the engines until finding the correct speeds for the auto-rotation.
This method would replace thousands of manual spins and could lead to a result in minutes.
What do you think?

You're right Big O.  After watching that video, I'm in a silly mood.  I'll try to keep it to myself.

The thought has crossed my mind as well.
Crucial thing to do then is to monitor the current drawn by these motors, to see significant change.
However there is a phase relation between rotor and stator.
That's not easy to manage with two independant motors to drive such rigs

[Edit] A slight variation on this theme would be to only drive the rotor with a DC motor while monitoring its current, while the stator is manually put into AGW sync with the rotor.
Next then would be to vary the rotor speed and/or change the mechanical position of the stator.

To my mind, the best way would be to spin the rotor like Lumen did, (but I would use pulleys, not direct drive) and then keep tweaking the stator / damper variables looking for those sweet spots that lighten the load as you guys mentioned...
