    If you put a steel ball bearing at the top of the stack under the shelf you will get it to spin for an even longer time. There are also some interesting things you can do with coils of wire either to control the spin or to generate small amounts of electricity to light LED's. Have fun experimenting and ignore all the people giving you crap. Anything new to you is worth doing and experimenting with.

      +Ken C But if you put a ball bearing, all you have is basically a simple pendulum effect, where the motion is "smooth" or should I say " analogue" . With the flat disc magnet, the motion is totally different.

    All you are seeing, is the energy you put into the system, by moving it, or rotating it. With such tiny friction at the surface, and tiny air friction, and with gravity assisting the pendulum, you should be surprised to see anything else! No mystery here: just a slow unwinding of the energy you dose the system with.

      +Cursed Handkerchief energy is never added only exchanged. for example a car gets his energy from the potential energy stored in the fuel (so energy stored in fuel changes to movement and heat). in this case the rotary force applied at the start just slowly enchanges in i presume movement of air (not sure, i failed my physics class this sem :p).

      @gyro5d Před 4 lety +1

      Vacuum and the glass on a gimbal. Or, glass on the bottom of the magnet, with a smaller magnet in harmonic resonance. To keep it going.
      Ken Wheeler shows that magnets aren't attracted to each other. They are attracted to a vortex between the magnets. You can see this with a Ferrocell. Or, in Ken Wheeler's videos, Ken's newer videos.

  • @christophermoore7093
    @christophermoore7093 Před 7 lety +3

    The only reason it lasts longer than you would expect and even longer with a larger disk shaped magnet on the glass is that there's a Lower amount of friction relative to the inertia of the heavy stack (pendulum) and the strong field acts as very good elastic. there is also friction from the air. If you try to do work with that pendulum you would be adding more drag to the system and it will go back to the shorter amount of time oscillating before expending the energy added by the persons hand. Electricity Generators experience more drag from opposing fields as current drawn to do work. There is no such thing as perpetual motion, just more efficient systems that approach but cannot reach an absolute 0 loss, where any work derived from that motion is loss from one system to another. Entropy tends to increase...

  • @christophermathers957
    @christophermathers957 Před 7 lety +4

    It does this because the stack set in motion is trying to ride a giant bidirectional dielectric current called a hypertrochoid in which mass is heavily alleviated. Because mass is not completely negated and resistance is in consideration, there is a tapering amount of time in which the stack will slowly lose its ability to ride the inertia placed upon it.

      I remember I had a set of magnets as a kid. I was watching the grim adventures of billy and Mandy at my grandma’s house when I accidentally swallowed it. I held it a foot above my head, and dropped it into my mouth. It went perfectly straight and dropped down my throat, giving me no chance to stop it.
      Recently I went to have an MRI done and brought this up, asking if it could still be there, putting me at risk for internal injury?

And even If I dont come up with something, it was a great brain exercise. Anytime very little effort produces that much output, it needs to be improved and used and sold or marketed.

    @doktaahwho8858 Před 7 lety +3

    The magnetic field has the mechanical characteristics of a gyroscope and the stack of magnets is moving in the polar vortex at the poles of the magnet. This is why a battery and a wire spin on a magnet. The key to over unity is to come up with a configuration to tap the already spinning field and convert it to mechanical kinetic energy.

      If I may help, "waist of time" should be "waste of time". Only other thing is a capital I not lowercase. Ok wait.... is it capital or capitol? Lol. Now I need to look this up because I'm such stickler. Dammit, now I've entered the rabbit hole...

    The amount of energy it spent moving air, as it spun, may have exceeded the energy it took to start the thing.

      I agree.
      Got to be more coming out than u pit in.
      That was effortless to start, wasn't it?
      & generating all that noise is energy too...

    • @2tvtv
      @2tvtv Před 6 lety +2

      im not an expert but i think it may be using the energy from the magnetism between the magnets, so it loses a bit of magnetism so it couldnt be used to generate infinite energy

    • @lasarith2
      @lasarith2 Před 6 lety

      john cope as soon as you try to take energy out of it it will stop the magnets from spinning.

    • @Spedley_2142
      @Spedley_2142 Před 6 lety +1

      Yes, I agree that it gives out nore energy than the mass of the magnets implies. The magnetism must be significantly greater then gravity, thus the 'weight' of the magnets in 'up' direction is dominant and counter intuitive to us Earthlings.

  • @ddzahn
    @ddzahn Před 6 lety +3

    So, I'm wondering what would happen if you took one magnet and hot glued it to the shelf below the glass one so that it was repelling the spinning stack, never allowing it to become completely vertical...

    • @indoscience467
      @indoscience467 Před 6 lety

      David Zahn well, then then it would slow to the point where it just hovers at an angle, repelled by the magnet.

      Let me explain. Spin a dish on a work surface so it goes wobba wobba wobba round and round for 16/20 seconds before stopping. Now that is an upside-down version of your magnet trick - the magnetic pull being replaced by gravity as the propulsion, rather than magnetic pull. You ain't winning no Nobel Prize for your childlike observation

      Man! You got something wrong! What's the matter? I said, if the teachers in school could kept my attention as well as this video did, I would be a better student with better results. That's all. Do not explain me anything about upside down magnet spinning things. This video is simply awesome mostly because of the funny subtitles.

  • @michealboyle6856

    if you placed 3 magnets on the shelf below fixed at just the correct distance in a triangle alignment remember they must be fixed with a couple of pins or tacks the 3 magnets will keep on pulling on the bottom swing motion as if you were to continually swing it with your fingertips and it will never stop swinging it will go on continually.
