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

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.

He also needs to add a rod to the "motor" to get it to generate the electricity which will generate friction, which will (in all likelyhood) stop the magnet from spinning...

If it was 'that' easy - why build nuclear power stations or drill for oil.
Just nip down to B&Q buy the magnets and set up your own 'Mag - power station' in the shed....
I'll be richer, beyond the dreams of avarice... MMMMMMWWWAAAAA!!!!!

Not a hoax. Just a delusion. Didn't the bit about UFOs tip you off?Last edited by NotAllThere; 30 April 2009, 14:24.

That bloke should join CUK.
Boring, plainly wrong and with little knowledge in the subject.

I dunno - maybe it's me I got bored after about a minute..but that fella does remind of the guy off the vee-dubble-yer advert. He's only missing the dungarees.

Is this a hoax?
All,
I do not have a physics qualification....
Does this have a practical application? - or just a hoax?
