replication of mikes video that had hidden power

The hidden power source... the battery that started charging the capacitor the second you discharged it.

Hidden power maybe in the flywheel/shaft housing or has I posted before in the cap is the best plaice maybe that's y its charging before you start to spin it.

hidden power is in the cap

Hey Joe,

Is it the hand spinning the motor?

hmmm, I guess it could be the hand in this version. I have two others that should show it better. But no, not the hand. There are probably endless ways to have hidden power in a system/video like this! It's 'electrical' hidden power. Good shot:)

Nah... There's no hidden power-source... He's created an over-unity motor and doesn't want a visit from the heavies... ;)
(Gotta admit... You hid it well)

A meter measuring resistance (set to the 100 Ohm scale or something) will actually charge capacitors.

If I were doing it, I'd absolutely hidden a bunch of button batteries inside the wood....we have lots of possibilities!

There are so many possibilities, your right! One interesting thing about the 'original' video, is that the SSR is not connected correct. It seemed like the SSR (solid state relay) was part of the magic configuration at the begining of all this, until we find out it was not even used in the actual "self-run" video due to it being connected wrong.

Not in the wood!  Good thinking.... Not in the cap, or any part of the motor/rotor assm. No batteries under the board. I uploaded another video I found from a while ago on this.
