  • I want this video on my M580 unit.

  • that's free energy we could be using.

  • I am questioning where the offending forms of remarks are.

  • static electricity

  • looks like a capacitor, not a battery

  • earth battery turned into tesla coil.

    all volt and no amps, I bet he has a hard time finding a date.

  • @quad2004 - like any real woman would be interested in a wankstain like you. picture it, 'know who my dream guy is? the kind of moron that goes on yt videos and posts jealously about diy batteries, and has a homo stalker grudge on tesla' - see how it looks when it's in reality terms yet? kill yourself you sad freak.

  • @JustSomePerson888 don't have much humor do ya. And yes I'm a fan of John's work, I have built three midi tesla coils running 15kv nst. Very cool to watch and fun to build. Any one that don't have a sense of humor would Drive them selves Nuts getting into the 3 laws. But I will point it out, Money/greed has drove 99% of house hold items to Run on Amps, they can tack a Bill on that. So unless everything is built to run on High volt, Amps is where the work is done. "Reality"

  • @quad2004 - as if you were kidding. who is John? you must have realised some of your mistake and for some inexplicable reason continue to believe you can fool me. amps aren't really the issue when it comes to metered power or just general scams involving energy. it should have been off-grid and renewable all along. anyway douche, k.y.

  • @JustSomePerson888

    kidding, no, making funny, yes

    1. Most of Nikola's work has been picked up by millions, John c.added a few twists long ago.

    2. fool anyone, no. 12v with little amps simply don't do much but Led's

    3. Mistake, no "newton's 3 laws" is somewhat a 2+2

    4. Off-grid all along, That is a hole other topic that Money and greed put a stop on long ago before we were born.

    5. being up tight is a loss of life, try to enjoy life. Things turn out better with open eye's.

  • @quad2004 - cunt the last line proves you're the same actual-smeagle freakshow as the 10000s of channels lowlife i have listed at my channel comments. really, you think you can project your evil conspiracy of EWS and mind-contol onto me. you're a fucking joke you cunts are. a bad one that's not funny. still no idea who John is, you just pluck names from the 'aether' which you don't understand.

    and no it isn't off-grid, few people are off-grid. kill yourself liar.

  • @JustSomePerson888 A man that showed the power of music. Look it up, tesla coil plays music. I have mine play the super mario bro's theam song.

    And Wow,, at Time's I really wounder about people, "Conspiracy" "Mind-control" Oh my... hehehehehehehehe.... Sorry I had to laugh out loud on that. Thanks for the funny!

  • @JustSomePerson888 "I think someone is getting mad" just some people, i tell ya.

    All over a teacher with some intellectual ideas, and me adding my self to the channel update's and making a cute comment. go drink a beer or glass of wine And start reading a good book with non violence. you might feel better. Try a book called "laws of physics"

  • @quad2004 - fag stop trying to act like you aren't the same child-molester that stalks tesla with 10000000s of fucked up channels, read your original useless-eater paedo-cult post here and recall i already fucking reminded you it's obvious you are trying to backtrack youself when you realised where i was coming from. now go & kill yourself you sad useless cunt.

  • I wonder if I could use this to power my electric strimmer.

  • @quad2004 - as well as that, you sound like the kind of conspiracy that tries to position contactees under the launchpads of rockets. kill yourself asshole.

  • @JustSomePerson888 Well I do make my own rocket fuel called home made Wine, it's really good......

  • super why people don't build power plants on that idea?!?!!!

  • @kestukas23 - cause you need a lot of money and also land to do that, and money people tend to be morons with no soul, who are only interested in exploiting nature for profit.

  • So, it's due to the static electricity produced by the water friction across two potentials?

    15kV sounds like a lot, until you shuffle across a nylon rug and touch a ground. Now imagine the voltage when the arc jumps almost two inches as opposed to a mere 15mm (it sounds like a rubber band being snapped against a sheet paper). Ouch!

  • Hmmm, so I wonder what would happen if a buddy of mine take two buckets, with some old coffee cans with the bottoms cut off attached above 'em, and then each of us take a piss in our respective buckets.......*ZAP*

    It would be a cool experiment...though to create an electric circuit we'd probably have to hold hands while we piss.....Science is cool and all....but that would be kinda gay.

  • Perfect power solution, reminds me of the aquafers used in Kemet Africa known as egypt today where water beneath the pyramid is separated by bee hive tunnels to create electrical build up to be stored in the pyramid think about it we can and have free energy all around us.

  • @UKSTREETNEWZ I just got kicked off of a physics forum for talking about this. You make my day!

  • Perfect power solution, reminds me of the aquafers used in egypt where water beneath the pyramid is separated by bee hive tunnels to create electrical build up to be stored in the pyramid think about it we can and have free energy all around us.

  • cool

  • Actually this was developed by German scientist Viktor Schauberger back in 1930. part of his understanding that water is a living medium and actually holds a electric charge in its natural state, this is influenced by the movement of ionized water partials.

  • @doggets pretty sure it wasn't Schauberger, as this contraption is called Lord Kelvin's Thunderstorm, and was invented by him in 1837.

  • @ELFPLFN YUP!

  • @kedmark

    Do you have an example where the crossover is not present? I don't have the time to duplicate the experiment !

  • i can explain it...its due to the development of chargers ..when the water drop falls because of fraction it develops a charge ...when it develops a opposite charge it is attracted to it...

  • If a vehicle is placed in a zero gravity environment could some sudden change in the vehicles internal mass distribution cause it to move?.

  • @Arkanovil1989 Usually, students who pick physics as a career for the wrong reasons tend to drop out.

  • THIS IS DARK MAGIC FOR SURE

  • You know during a storm, the falling water from clouds seems to do the same thing. I always notice that right before lightning strikes the water tends to let up a little and then BAM! Guess it's the same principle.

  • The crossover is unnecessary and designed to mislead

  • @kedmark

    no you need the crossover so opposing charge goes to the other bucket,or charge would tend to neutralize?

    If not you could do the same thing with two big unconnected conductive cylinders by dripping water from the same source into the separate cyls.

    To put one bucket's charge on the other stream repels the charges in a given bucket back to that bucket and pulls the unlike charges into the other bucket accumulating charge.

    This is a beautiful experiment.

  • This is fascinating. Can anyone think how it could be used in a useful application?

  • It's Witchcraft, I tells ya! lol The Devil's work! hahaha It's all just make-believe, anyway!

  • just plain amazing. i admire him

  • Comment removed

  • this guy really keeps your attention...almost wish I was good enough in school to get into MIT just so I could sit and listen to him

  • The KEY is in placing those cylinders(with no top and bottom) EXACTLY where the continuous stream of water starts breaking into drops, ----- - - - - right there :)

    BECAUSE the drops are then charged after breaking free from the stream.

    Why? -The (slightly,at first) charged cylinders push "their kind" of charge in the stream away from them,so the part of the stream (still continuous here) closest to the cylinder has almost all the opposite charge.And then that part just breaks away with it :)

  • I so hope he drives a DeLorean :D (with THE flux capacitor, of course.)

  • i don't get it. i wish he explained it better

  • This is very cool. I only just saw this today after watching Professor Lewis's lecture about the classic "walking in rain" question. I think this works through a simple mechanism involving repulsion and attraction of electrons due to opposite charges. Basically once one can has any negative charge, the electrons in the water above "flow" away just before dropping. The opposite occurs on the positive can. The buckets catch the positive and negatively charged droplets increasing the charge.

  • 4;17 sparks are flying... <3

  • doc brown!!!

  • this guy is a really genius and somewhat funny

  • Comment removed

  • SOUNDS LIKE COUNT DRACULA AND THAT KINDA OF ENERGY DEVICE COULDNT BE USED IN MOVIEING VIEHICALS AND WHAT I DONT GET IS HE SAID LIKE 7000 VOLTS THAT SEEMS UNREAL . HAVE THEY TRYED THIS IN DIFFERNT ENVIORMENTS JUST TO SEE IF THIS GUY HAS SOME STUPID ELECTRICK CURENT COMEING FROM SOME STATIC CHARGE, OR JUST SOMETHING ELSE.

  • @skaterraiter Moving vehicles? What? Anyway... He didn't say 7000 volts, he said 10,000 to 15,000 volts. It's not "unreal". You're confusing voltage with amperage and current. A static electricity shock is around 10,000 volts. Research if you're actually interested. Although, by the way you type and spell, I'm actually amazed you wanted to watch this video. "that kinda of" / "movieing", "viehicals", "tryed", "differnt", "enviorments", "electrick", "curent", "comeing"? Learn to spell, man.

  • @BadComrade I know everything you said but you don' understand what i said because you dont understand much other then fact and you cant have much belief in fact just fact maby you should stop caring about how everyone types and relize when it comes to time you don't make sure all the spelling is correct if it doesn't need to be What did your eyes get in a reck when you read did it hert you go cry to your momy

  • @skaterraiter I'm sorry, skaterraiter... I didn't realize that you're retarded. I'll try and refrain from commenting on anything you say in the future. Can't promise that I won't laugh my ass off reading it, though.

    By the way, this is incredibly funny (I've corrected your spelling): "You don't understand much other than fact and you can't have much belief in fact just fact". Wow. Actually, you should have "belief in fact" because it's a fact. Factual means "true", you know... Wow.

  • @BadComrade You and @skaterraiter have made my day, very funny.

  • What is the ph of the water in each bucket.

    i'm told that one has more h ions and on e has more oh ions.

    what is the deal?

  • what is the efficiency of this... compared to hydro.

  • I would have paid good money to have this guy as a prof- love the excitement about this phenomena... wonder if anyone has collected into a cap and discharged?

  • OH SHIT!

  • Notice the interesting parallel between a rising voltage caused by static electricity build up in this battery & the type of rising pulsed waveform Stanley Meyer used to split water in his overunity electrolysis system. I would like to make a battery like this but tune it to the frequencies Meyer used & then use the spark to split the water molecules & turn it into HHO gas & put it in my car.

  • it´s no offence to anyone ´couse i just need an hour to find the answer to the riddle... sry but i´m german and my english isn´t perfect ;) i just wanna help the people who doesn´t get it to understand the thing.

  • Comment removed

  • @FREEGARYMCKINNON WTF?!?!? are U an idiot??? U do realize that Kelvin pre-dates Shauberg?!?! Kelvin died in 1907......Schauberger was alive and well during WWII. IF...and I do say IF, because I have read about Schauberger and have never came across him making a device like this one shown in the video....but IF he made such a device, then he was simply copying what Kelvin did MANY years prior...look it up. Its sometimes called Kelvin's Thunderstorm.

  • Comment removed

  • @frankensteinmoneymac Thanks for correcting me. Lord Kelvin a.k.a. William Thomson did indeed invent the device. The "influence machine" . Around 1880-85

    For anybody reading this comment Viktor Schauberger should be checked out !

    vortex genius.

  • @FREEGARYMCKINNON Cool.....forgive me for my harsh tone, in my "correction" to your past comment. It would appear that U didn't deserve that. My appologies.

  • @frankensteinmoneymac no probs. on with the truth ! 

  • Comment removed

  • @aylaashaya its to do with potential difference build up from opposing electromagnetic fields that surround the water drops. created by the vortex effect of falling water.

  • he reminds of feynman maan..feynman was also pure class maan

  • Just put it this way ! I saw this video on youtube 1.5 years ago and said to myself NO freakin way BUL?#@? I am the type..To believe,is to see with your own eyes.I DID IT ! I solved the problem I was having with this endeavor that grasped my life! "Kelvins water droplet problem figured out "FINALLY got it to work, after I did the coolest thing ever..Something MYTHBUSTERS should test..! I shot off my potato gun with it! lol really "Potato gun in the hands of a mad man" MIT rocks!!!!

  • it´s a -kelvin water dropper- check wikipedia if you want to know more about it.

  • THIS IS THE KIND OF PROFS UNIVERSITIES NEED GOD DAM MIT

  • you can probably use that concept to make a portable device to go around zapping people!

  • @phatmatt1176 I like that comment...Some day!!

  • Kinda reminds me of DOC from {B2TF} LOL but Way Kool video.

    and I agree with what " LUTHERARO" Post.

    I know some ways of making Near Free energy, Wind-power, Sola, HH0 now we need to pust the good minds to use

     and BUILD IT...

  • Just by looking at him- you know that he is genius.

  • in holland he never used props in his lectures, but in the us of a he had to or else they would not understand

  • So how DOES it work? I am scratching my head.

  • The Oil companies are trying their best to stop free energy ideas from spreading to common people.

    We need to put an end to this corruption ,start generating your own electricity now.

    Look for the LT MAGNET MOTOR in youtube video search. Join the Revolution!!

  • why does the water spread before the charge?

  • Man this guy is a great teacher. I'm only a highschool student but I can even understand him because he explains it in a way that even idiots can understand.

  • And what about using this in poor places in the planet where rain is abundant?

    Just and idea.

    Comment on it please.

  • Honestly man it looks like these students are studying physics for the wrong reasons.....they just show zero interest. I would pay twice the tuition fees just to get him as a lecturer

  • @Arkanovi1989 of course... it's physics! haha!

  • @Arkanovi1989 the students probably already know the material. Plus, most of them are book worms and study afterwards.

  • @Arkanovi1989 your intelligence is above all those others who have replied.. I would also love to join you at the lecture :)

  • when this battery hits 88 volts some serious shit is going to happen

  • This is one of the most remarkable things i have ever seen in my life, too!

  • @supremeon1 I agree !! When I saw this video a year ago I was hooked I just had to see this for myself !!..I can now say I DID IT MYSELF!!.. And I also successfully ignited the gas in my potato gun with Lord Kelvin's ..honest to god..REALLY works..got to see.. battery! ..(potato gun in the hands of a mad man)

  • I love this guy!!! I saw this video a year ago and I was HOOKED I had to see it for myself to believe !! So I built one and YES it really does WORK... As professor Walter Lewin saids "Most remarkable thing I have ever seen or did in my life" If your like me you will try it yourself ! REALLY DOES WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • his students look absolutely absolved into that class...

  • haha, brilliantly using the natural ionizing nature of water and basic electrostatic attraction of opposite charges.

    Such simplicity makes for an elegant demonstration.

  • next he will build a time mechine out of a delorian and an old tv!!

  • REMINDS ME OF FELLOW ON BACK TO THE FUTURE OR SOMEONE LIKE THAT--DANG SURE IS SOMETHING HOW THAT SPARK GETS GENERATED OUT OF WATER FALLING FOM BUCKETS---HUH?????????? THERE ARE MANY UNANSWERED MYSTERIES IN THE WORLD---AND MUCH TO BE LEARNED

  • I seen this video a year ago and I was hooked! I just had to try this at home. I had to see it for myself or if it was bullshit! It turns out! It really works!!! I successfully made my own apparatus that will spark every 5 seconds with just tap water. After that I shot off my potato gun with it!!!  YES WAY I DID! Check out my video just type in "Lord Kelvin's water droplet problem figured out" or search my profile name

  • Marty, I'm sorry. But the only power source capable of generating 1.21 gigawatts of electricity is a bolt of lightning

  • una delle peggiori lingue del mondo l'inglese.. con una pronuncia difficile e schifosa, che nervoso che fa venire!eppure siamo costretti ad impararla con grande sacrificio da parte mia, tutto il pensiero scientifico è scritto con l'inglese! che nervi!!!!!

  • @pollottoliere ahhhhhhh your a fucking scumbag your not better than everyone ok

    ahh also guess what English is the most expressive language on earth douche bag.

  • @ladangelo202 Actually, english is only one of a number of sophisticated languages. Both french and Korean are rich languages that have words to describe abstract concepts that other languages lack.

  • WTF is this !?

  • The water molecules are polarized and have a magnetic dipole. As they fall through the can, induction occurs and creates and build up of charge in the water buckets which act as capacitors. Once enough charge has built up on the buckets to a point where the voltage is high enough, they discharge and the whole system starts over again.

  • @VanillaShoelace You have done it! You have figured out the origin of life!

  • @VanillaShoelace

    why does water have a magnetic dipole?

  • @jpmorgan187

    black magic.

    

  • @VanillaShoelace It doesn't have to do with the polarization of the water, it has to do with the net charge of the impurities of the water falling through the can. Small initial differences become reinforced through induction, building the voltage.

  • @VanillaShoelace Also, water in a nonmagnetic environment doesn't have a magnetic dipole moment.

  • @VanillaShoelace like at 4:14??

  • @VanillaShoelace how is it that the water molecules become polarized?

  • I have got a question: Could someone please explain me why you can only use 2 systems and not 4 or 6? (2 positive, 2 negative)

  • is the choice of + and - random?

  • this dude take credit from shauberger and lord kelvin

  • Now we know where macgyver went to school. This dude rocks.

  • ionized magnetised water

  • Nice video !

    Have a look at my recent videos at my Youtube Account overunityDOTcom , I am using cheap ALUFOIL !

    Just click on my username here.

    Regards, Stefan.

  • 4:18 what a beautiful girl

  • Answer = google + Kelvin water dropper

    In a nutshell the water in each bucket contains negative and positive electrons. But one bucket will eventually end up with more + or more - and as electrons build up on the negative they will want to get to the positive so when there is enough to form a bridge or enough "potential" they make the jump to positive which will then mean the distrubution of - and + is even again across both buckets.

  • it was so beautiful. Whats the reason

  • I think its static electricity. the water spreads because it has a positive and a negative side and the cans are atracting the water.

    I'm not sure.

  • this was a fab.

  • could it have a practical use? Lets say it rains and I use the water that is coming of the roof to make a high voltage?

  • interesting thought.

    I think even though theres a high potential, there wont be enough CHARGE present to sustain a high current.

  • It would make a nice fence-charger. You can all argue about the prof. I want to see more shots of the girl at 4;19

  • I knew at 2:29 what the Explanation was..1st of all the paint cans have some zinc in them while the larger trash cans have mostly steel

    ,,,Then you have to understand that Water molecules, which have a 109.5 degree angle between the 2 Hydrogens, the molecules hit each other as the droplets move downward, this hitting of molecules is not unlike rubbing 2 balloons together, the resulting "static electricity" and the potential difference between the metals add up for the final "spark".

  • madblue, dannyaces, this is a only  a experiment

    you guys are so negative this is a how could be discovery something else is going on, this is how we learn to understand nature and electricidy if you think that he is a liar and what boder to make a coment peace guys always have the posibility to keep open mind

  • @abmz1970

    The world is full of morons. I have watched several of his lectures and I think he is a smart cookie.

  • So what is the explanation?

  • Walter Lewin is a true scientific genius, probably the smartest professor in MIT.

  • Umm I don't know, man... but just look at him. His hairstyle, teaching gestures... it makes it look like he's a genius.

  • @jhooper3581 He's going for the 'EINSTEIN' look! =)

  • @jhooper3581 you know someone is smart when they don't care about their hair. haha.

  • He is a professor at MIT. When you are talking about professors there... none of them are dumb, and all of them are smarter than you. ;)

  • I didn't say I was smarter. I merely said there were smarter professors at MIT, which is almost certainly true. MIT has one of the top theoretical physics groups in the country, and Lewin isn't part of it. He's an experimentalist. He's a fantastic lecturer though, when taking E&M for the first time ever I used his lectures to supplement mine, and they were fantastic.

  • No matter who you are talking about, there is always someone smarter out there. Such a vague statement is moot.

    And, what does his field of study have to do with anything? If Einstein studied biology he would have still been a genius.

    Fact, Lewin is a MIT physics professor.

    Fact, dumb people do not become MIT physics professors.

    That is all I am saying.

  • My point isn't moot. My point was that Lewin isn't the smartest prof at MIT, and I said he almost surely isn't. And albeit ones field does not necessarily mean they are smarter or not, the smartest physicists tend to go into theory, their choice of field is influenced by their intellectual abilities. The people who grasp physics stronger tend to go into theory than experiment. So their choice of field does matter.

  • Madblueplanet, I think many people misunderstood what you were trying to say. When you say, "he isn't the smartest", it may be read as "he is stupid". Obviously that's not what you were trying to say.

  • Yup, I guess I should've been more clear. Oh wellll

  • Connect it to a Marx generator!!

  • sound is not synchronized...

  • That's amazing hmmmm might try it

  • Liar.

  • this man was the most incredible teacher at MIT

  • The girl is really cute. You wonder just what career she is going to chose that might benefit from this demonstration. I believe that the easiest way to store this potential is to power a capacitor and periodically discharge to a battery. How would this quantity of energy compare to the energy produced if the falling water turned a waterwheel generator? dunno.

  • As im sure you already know, its all about current not voltage, and being static electricity it generates only a couple of micro amps, compared to the vast powers being drained from your average power plant. so all in all, fun party trick, but useless as a commercial power source

  • You are right it might be in the micro amps but times that by the voltage and see what the watts are, step it down then store it. Then maybe add another one two or ten more and it migh just be free power

  • Times that voltage by the huge resistance...

  • it would totally suck compared^^

  • For details, search google on KELVIN'S THUNDERSTORM

  • NOW this is Something, I am thinking about this, How I did not thought about it before, so easy , for Sure I am going to try it out ,,, and study this phenomenon, surely we learn new things every day

  • Wow awesome im gonna try it out :)

  • Comment removed

  • This is NOT a battery!

  • Do anyone knows how to increse the voltage? or who to colected the electricy produce it?

  • From the metal balls i believe, this should be studied by experts, we might have an easy power source and dont even know of it..

  • As a water drop flows through can "A" it has some probability to give a wild electron to the can "A". The droplet is then positive, so the drop in bucket "C" is positive. Since bucket "C" is attached to can "B", the can becomes positive, so probability for it to collect electrons is greater, so it pulls even more electrons out. Now bucket "D" is more positive, so "A" is more positive, and pulls even more electrons out. The result is an oscillating accumulation of electrons which finally sparks.

  • He reminds me of Dr Brown from Back to the Future.

  • Yeah, REALLY...

    Hey, Professor Lewin...  WHAT THE HECK IS A JIGGAWATT ?!?

  • The answer is: E= qTT r=2c2 IssacN=a4a V5= O e - 12v T amn, . . . . Duh!! look closer to the professors balls guy

  • Look at his balls! they spark

  • There once was a professor from Belgrass, with balls that were made out of brass, in stormy weather they clung together and lighting shot from his ....  ah never mind :(

    Cool experiment through!

  • lol

  • I think the ecuations on the wall are the calculations of the experiments, did some one copy all the ecuation???

  • could somebody explain how that thing work?

  • I think there is a static electricity. It is generated by a flowing water through these (i think metal) barrels A and B. But the rest .. dont know .-)

  • great professor !

  • so could we make power generators from this?? ofcourse we would need bigger cans and such

    and just reuse the water
