This is basically just a quick and easy replication of an effect I saw on YouTube last night. I was dubious, as there are, as you probably know, an almost limitless supply of fakes here on the 'Tube in this category but I can attest that this effect is very real and repeatable.

  • forget about the magnets and the ring, hang on a thread fixed on a tripod, first one then the weight, when the rest (to be fixed), add one more weight ...

  • @MrBmv73 Greetings, Mr. BMV! When you say "forget about the magnets and the ring", are you saying that it will do the same by just adding more weights to a thread suspended by a tripod? I went to your link and I couldn't tell what you wanted me to look at. Unfortunately, I am not too good at the Russian language. Sorry!

  • Maybe there is some magic in the rope? Anyway i can help you. Just setup your magnets on the ferrit magnet or metal and shift them from it center. You should make replica with more attention

  • @MorskoyZmey Magic in the Rope? LOL, I hope not because I have no idea what I did with it now! :) Please explain your comment about the magnet setup? Thank you!

  • i tried it and it always rotates counterclockwise... nothing to do the poles of the magnet i guess

    someone from the southern hemisphere should try it

    anyways it accelarated like crazy!

  • @iamthesasi Interesting. Yeah, it just takes off. The thread I used to suspend the magnet had a bit too much elasticity and would always let the ring creep closer until it connected with the magnet and stopped the show, but I really wonder just how long that phenomenon would last and how fast it would spin if given its druthers? I would like to replicate that with much, much larger materials to see if it would still spool up like that.

see all

  • @Vaught68 If you still interested. Wind up of thread transforms to rotation when weight is acting on it until it unwind. It is not perpetuum mobile =(

    забудьте про магниты и кольца, подвесьте на нитке, закрепленной на штативе, сначала один вес затем, когда успокоится (будет неподвижен), добавьте еще один вес ...
