Make it spin faster by placing the magnets all around it instead of just two of it.

[rrrreticon]

My guess is that the motor is wired, that a battery or capacitor is precharged and the "self start" is the dissipation of the previously stored charge. Since the bearing is efficient and no work is drawn from the system depending on the size of the battery the system could run for hours.

As far as insulting the author, that's anti-scientific. He has presented a very good example and wake-up-call for any OU enthusiast. Most of whom are pretty anti-scientific.

maibe the coils are around a battery? :)

[MrFlathunter]

I think ''magic trick'' is the wrong word. Dishonest is perhaps too severe, but much closer to the truth.

[cyberlord64]

hmmm... i don't want to sound like a smartass but i noticed that at the begining of the video 1:00 the wheel rotates a lot faster than the end of the video 5:00 meaning that the machine is decelerating (and i suppose that at some point it will stop). could you give us more details about the magnets that you used?

[kurtnorway]

Starcross42, I have a feeling you are moking the search for free energy movement, and if that is the goal, than its pitty.

Offcourse there is no such thing as perpetual machine, and you have a battery hidden some where in there.

But a guy like you, educated and all, know there is more between heaven and earth, and probably most of it is yet to be discovered. Ouer physick laws made so far (note "made"), has served the world well, but they are not perfect, and definitely not complete.

[Starcross42]

Kurtnorway. Thanks for the insight. No, it was not an attempt to mock people searching for free energy. It was however designed to pose more questions than it answered. Yes, they ALL have a hidden battery somewhere, but the task is to figure out HOW it gets that energy to the spinning wheel. You must understand the things that you do know before you can recognize the truely inventive. No insult intended with the video, just a magic trick where you are left to guess how it is done.

[robbyandrasch]

Starcross42 has replicated the work of THANE HEINS and that´s great!

Look for youtube-user "THANECHEINS" and learn how to violate Lenz´s Law, or more exact to say: How to phase shift Lenz´s Law to the point in time, where a repelling force is no longer slowing down the approaching magnet but acceleration it after its bypass.

[kurtnorway]

Robbyandrasch. Is that what Starcross42 is trying to teach us, you think ?,

Yes, I have seen the THANECHEINS videos, it is such a revelutionary discoveries that I am trying to replicate it. The plan is to combine it with the newman or keppe motor, which is suposed to use wery litle energy to produce torqe, I have actually made a keppe motor, and it is producing torqe with less energy than conventional em-motors.

By the way, sorry Starcross42 if I jumped to conclusions whith your intentions.

[jreed136]

@kurtnorway Zero point energy has already been theorized, that's all we need to focus out attention on. ;)

[rahimi15]

why does it stop at 20min , could you please make a video of that explaining why and how much wieght do you have to apply to get it to stop

[tinanancollas]

Ironic that it is an elementary lesson on magnets you are using for the background/time verification. Are you saying that the solution is 'elementary'?

[overunitydotcom]

I posted a possible circuit diagramm at the end of this thread at my forum.

Go to:

overunityDOTcom / index.php ?topic=6829

(remove the spaces in the URL above and substitute the DOT with a real "." dot.

Please post some comments to my circuit in my forum.

Many thanks.

Regards, Stefan.

[Starcross42]

Stefan, Excellent insight. I have signed up to be part of your forum however I have not yet been 'invited'.

I am preparing to post the next video in the LEGO series. It will lead to even more investigation. You need to remember that I am an educator and, at least to me, thought is more important than answers. When a student asks me 'how something works' I seldom just give an answer but rather encourage them to think deeper. Same here.

[megavox]

Put a live streaming video on ustream, it's free and I already see you have a camera, so you have no excuse not too, like this you can prove if your device really works or not

[Starcross42]

I will get my trained monkey on that right away.

[nkrichnk]

So where is the answer?I just saw your "next" video, nice railgun,but i'm still missing something...

[bv90andy]

it slows down... change between 0:50 and 5:10 and see how much it slows down...>>so is this fake????

[djdevil360]

this is not fake

[overunitydotcom]

Are you going to open source this technology ?

This is the only way the whole world could benefit from it and you will be pretty famous soon.

Hope you deceide yourself this way.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards, Stefan.

[jas111000]

yeah, unfortunately with the clock and everything there, it would be easy to have some wires powering the fan that it's mounted on.

would be cool though if it really worked as advertised.

[Starcross42]

Didn't you see me take everything apart at the end? No wires running to the fan.

[overunitydotcom]

Was too fast filmed...at 5x speed.

Are you going soon to reveal, how you wired up

the coils ?

[overunitydotcom]

P.S: Why does it move throughout the video on the 2 wooden rails ?

Due to vibrations ?

Does this also cause the speeddown at the end ?

[Starcross42]

The rails were to raise the unit up a bit so that I could fit the TV, but then the wheel hit the screen, so I raised it up too... Just didn't take them away after spending all the time finding them. Sorry.

[overunitydotcom]

Really interesting is the selfstarting acceleration.

Maybe you can show this again with some longer time on 1 x speed ?

Many thanks.

Regards, Stefan.

P.S: Maybe use 3 stators, so the acceleration is faster ?

Maybe you can also show, that there are no hidden wires going to your fan motor ?

[Starcross42]

I have the fan hot glued to the base plate. I could hot glue it to LEGOs so that I could attach it as well as the wheel, but the additional height does cause some instability due to torque.

[overunitydotcom]

Well done,

but why is it slowing down at the end ?

Did your hotglued stators get loose somehow ?

Many thanks.

Regards, Stefan.

[Starcross42]

There is some vibration... I guess I didn't notice a reduced speed. I have an optical tach but it didn't fit the wheel. Sorry.

[nkrichnk]

Great video! Congratz Teacher!

Now the 2 questions:

1.When will you show us how to replicate this wonderful thing?

2.Why is the thing not spinning faster and faster and faster with time?

[Starcross42]

1. Next video

2. Terminal velocity. However the one I built with a plastic wheel spins faster.

[Kulek1981]

From 4:40 the wheel is slowing down, at the end its turning much slower than at 3:50.

[OrangeL89]

Why do people always have to ruin good things?

[Kulek1981]

Dunno, ask @Starcross42 why He use weak battery?

[Pirate88179]

Excellent demonstration!! That should about cover it I would think. Very nice work.

Get ready to go viral. Great Video!
