In summary, this magnetic generator is not self sustaining and will eventually stop working if the power source is not constantly supplied.

is this magnetic generator self sustaining?

how long before it stops?

That depends on when the power source is removed or turned off.

Depends when the 'experimenter' stops supplying the external source of power that is really running it.
The easiest way to fake this one is a compressed air jet poitned at the edge of the pie dish or you have a second set of wires under the table to a battery - you could do it with an elctromagnet under the table but that's a lot more effort.

so is this fake also lol sorry for adding another

Sorry perpetual motion machines don't work, and discussing thme here is generally frowned upon - people that believe in them aren't going to be convinced.

Magnet ones are favourites because magnets appear to posses some sort of weird energy, ie the 'magnet energy' that the magnet uses to keep itself stuck to the fridge - presumably a book uses shelf-energy to keep itself on the shelf.

Assuming that you are just interested in the video (and not another foaming at the mouth crank) - the video is a fun fake. From the speed the motor is spining it I would gues it is being driven by a hidden battery, moving the other magnet near it is probably just enough extra force to overcome the static friction or unbalance in the plate and start the motor spinning.

I haven't watched the other videos but they are ussually just more complicated versions of the same thing.

yes i agree that one is faked but the other one is more basic if you look at the next video i won't talk about it here again. the guy in this video seems like a nut. ufo etc but the last 30 seconds of the video experiment seems interesting

The spinning top is 'powered' by small movements of the hand holding the large magnetic ring. If the top is small and light enough and the ring has strong enough magnets then it acts rather like a level - a small movement of the ring creates a large force on the spinning top.

ty i agree sorry was bored looking at videos and came upon this

Please re-read the PF Guidelines that you had agreed to. Perpetual motion machine discussion is one of our banned topics.

FAQ: Exploring the Self-Sustaining Power of Magnetic Motors

What is a magnetic motor?

A magnetic motor is a type of electric motor that uses magnets and magnetic fields to produce motion and generate power. It works by utilizing the attractive and repulsive forces between magnets to create rotational motion, which can then be harnessed to power various devices or machinery.

How does a magnetic motor work?

A magnetic motor consists of a stator, which contains a series of stationary magnets, and a rotor, which contains a series of rotating magnets. When an electric current is applied to the stator, it creates a magnetic field that interacts with the magnets on the rotor, causing it to rotate. This rotation can then be used to power other components or devices.

Are magnetic motors self-sustaining?

The concept of a self-sustaining magnetic motor, or a motor that can continuously operate without an external power source, is a controversial topic. While some claim to have created such a motor, it is not currently possible to create a self-sustaining magnetic motor that adheres to the laws of physics.

What are the potential benefits of magnetic motors?

Magnetic motors have the potential to be more efficient and environmentally friendly than traditional motors, as they do not require fossil fuels to operate. They also have fewer moving parts, which can reduce maintenance and increase durability. Additionally, magnetic motors can be used in a variety of applications, from powering small household appliances to large industrial machinery.

Are there any limitations or challenges to using magnetic motors?

One major limitation of magnetic motors is that they are not yet as efficient as traditional motors. They also require rare earth materials, which can be expensive and environmentally damaging to extract. Additionally, the development and implementation of magnetic motors on a large scale would require significant changes to our current infrastructure and energy systems.
