Magnetic propulsion Magnets using earths magnetic field

[SMDAHL]

Very interesting. You get a lot of unscientific criticism. I agree with others who say "silence the debunkers" by zooming out or filming in a space large enough to frame all magnets and the full suspension system. You haven't proven that no one is manipulating from out of frame yet. God bless!

[TheAdmiston]

heY!!  It's all because of twisting the thread !

[aneuryism]

I repeated this experiment at home. The result was the same. However, I also suspending a non-magnetic weight from the string instead of a magnet. The same thing happened. The sewing thread is twisted in it's relaxed state. When a weight is suspended upon it, a tension is created in the string. As the string releases the tension & extends slightly-potential energy is converted to rotational energy. The direction of rotation is dictated by the direction of the string's twist. No Magic.

@aneuryism Very rare to see anyone (including myself) step up and replicate an experiment on social media. Thank you. Did you record it?

Virilianninja, Thanks for comment if you havn't already take a look at the Orion Project.org. As for me I'm working on my bedini window motor generator combo to grid tie it and reduce my electric bills. There's not a useful 0 point energy machine in the public domain yet for whatever reason plenty of conspiriacy theories though.

[Virilianninja]

Personally I don't understand why we haven't already started using magnet and electromagnetic fields. We have all the technology for it and we have for a number of years now. I realize it is expensive to charge them but it only has to be done, what, every 50 years? And if the world could accept the magnetic generator as a means of making energy..... well you can see where I am going with this. Free energy makes more "cents".

hey if anyone has done this experiment can you send me the data you collected im trying to see if theres a pattern in different locations of the world where the magnetic waves have a greater influence :) ill send the data ive collected back also

Please take a look at "SirZerp" on Youtube his name is Michael Snyder and you will see how magnetic fields really look like he is a grad student at University of Kentucky.. "Magnetshooter" on Youtube...

[bruckator]

if you replace the magnet with a non-magnetic weight, you will see that it spins anticlockwise too (I just tested it)

:-)

The rotation you observe comes from the torque a twisted sewing cotton has when it is stretched by a weight!

[MrRaptur3]

why in the hell dont they harness this energy to produce energy ... why? because it would be free....

[unillenium]

lol.

[MrSquidDick]

works here in Australia

[cyberrigger]

Thread comes in right hand twist and left hand twist.

I would be interested to see if the direction of twist makes a difference.

[tinablvns]

try using a fishing line swivel to debunk the torque theory.

[SMDAHL]

@tinablvns Yes!

realjoefriday fair comment thye reason why compasses don't spin is mass and friction also they float in an oil bath.The cotton sewing thread is twisted in its manufacture but it has no torque to turn anything .All it offers is little initial resistanc at beginning to turning motion until wound up by the magnet ,the time taken to do this depends on the mass of the magnet and inertia created by the accelerating spin and is eventually stopped.

[realjoefriday]

You're mistaking the cause for the effect. It's your thread that's unwinding or relaxing that's causing the spinning. The thread gives only a tiny amount of torque, which is why the magnet can *stop* the torque from the thread. When you give it the initial "nudge", you overcome the original stopping force, but the only energy you're showing here is the original twist in the thread. If this demonstration were correct, then no compass on earth would ever stop spinning after getting started.

Jdsteen96002 good to hear you gave it a try, the larger the magnet and longer the thread the longer it will spin for. I tried for the same effect by fixing a needle to the base of a magnet and the point bearing on glass but weight and friction stops it from continually turning.If anyone could over come that we would have perpetual motion!

[jdsteen96002]

I would like to learn more. Do you have a video of the ring magnet?

[X00000013]

do same thing, back off, and show full view off both

[christmasduck2]

Thanks for comment yes I have reversed the thread and same result. I have suspended a 10oz 75mm dia x 20mm ring magnet out of a loadspeaker and that spins very fast.I have fixed a 12" hacksaw blade to the magnet in the video and counted the speed increasing from 0 to 52 revs a min at 3 mins then decreasing 2 revs per min after that.Again effect only works anticlockwise.If you have a magnet give it a try.

[jdsteen96002]

It does work. I just tried it with 8 disk magnets stacked together (to make a longer magnet with north south poles) suspended from about 2 feet of sewing thread. It spins in a counter-clockwise direction and it only stops when the thread is too wound up. Nudging it in a clockwise direction it will move only a short time, and then stop and go in the other direction.

[Thorsupremecommander]

interesting. did you try to reverse the thread suspending the magnets? thread is set of thing small threads wound in some fashion
