I agree. It is the hand movement that makes it work."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George Orwell -
A bit like a pendulum on a bit of string where very small movements can make it swing.Originally posted by Paddy View PostScience isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

That just has to be basic physics, opposite poles attract and like poles repel each other. That's what's causing the 'motor' to spin in a constant orbit. His slight hand movements are what's shifting its axis.
The reason why it's not practical is because as someone said once you add a generator to the equation you're going to create friction which means far more powerful magnets. There's no way you could run a power station with something like that.
Although is that not just what CERN is, a great big electromagnet used for propulsion? Wasn't cheap either was it.

Yes it does work.
Now can I interest you in some of my special snake oil?
