If you put a steel ball bearing at the top of the stack under the shelf you will get it to spin for an even longer time. There are also some interesting things you can do with coils of wire either to control the spin or to generate small amounts of electricity to light LED's. Have fun experimenting and ignore all the people giving you crap. Anything new to you is worth doing and experimenting with.
+Ken C But if you put a ball bearing, all you have is basically a simple pendulum effect, where the motion is "smooth" or should I say " analogue" . With the flat disc magnet, the motion is totally different.
Now hot glue a small coil on the bottom shelf bellow it with an LED attached, then pass a small jet of air past the magnets to keep the momentum going and you've created a generator.
Know what pal? you may have just discovered the best egg beater that could ever exist. No manual nor electricity/battery power needed to operate this xD
All you are seeing, is the energy you put into the system, by moving it, or rotating it. With such tiny friction at the surface, and tiny air friction, and with gravity assisting the pendulum, you should be surprised to see anything else! No mystery here: just a slow unwinding of the energy you dose the system with.
+Cursed Handkerchief energy is never added only exchanged. for example a car gets his energy from the potential energy stored in the fuel (so energy stored in fuel changes to movement and heat). in this case the rotary force applied at the start just slowly enchanges in i presume movement of air (not sure, i failed my physics class this sem :p).

The only reason it lasts longer than you would expect and even longer with a larger disk shaped magnet on the glass is that there's a Lower amount of friction relative to the inertia of the heavy stack (pendulum) and the strong field acts as very good elastic. there is also friction from the air. If you try to do work with that pendulum you would be adding more drag to the system and it will go back to the shorter amount of time oscillating before expending the energy added by the persons hand. Electricity Generators experience more drag from opposing fields as current drawn to do work. There is no such thing as perpetual motion, just more efficient systems that approach but cannot reach an absolute 0 loss, where any work derived from that motion is loss from one system to another. Entropy tends to increase...
No, I didn't switch off the stove. I'm only five minutes into a 12 minute pizza. And imagine the insane discovery of magnetism while playing with magnets. Is everybody on RU-vid a freaking dolt?
Basically i have wasted 2 minutes of my life watching a magnet spin round and making the constant noise of my grandmas 1877 plasma 2 cleaner silver edition washing machine...... What a waist of time
+cooper Rosolen "grandma's"; "waste"; and whatever a plasma 2 cleaner silver edition washing machine is I'm pretty sure they didn't have them in 1877. And if your grandma was alive in 1877 that would make you a lot too old to be making silly comments here.
If I may help, "waist of time" should be "waste of time". Only other thing is a capital I not lowercase. Ok wait.... is it capital or capitol? Lol. Now I need to look this up because I'm such stickler. Dammit, now I've entered the rabbit hole...
The magnetic field has the mechanical characteristics of a gyroscope and the stack of magnets is moving in the polar vortex at the poles of the magnet. This is why a battery and a wire spin on a magnet. The key to over unity is to come up with a configuration to tap the already spinning field and convert it to mechanical kinetic energy.
Hugo Cordoba nice to read such comments which come only while watching and thinking to tap the energy. And only out of thin air ideas do come. An idea is bulletproof.
Yes. I watched the entire video..... Why?? Because smart people areusing and expanding their minds to figure out a way to use this someway. You get one 1/4 second action to get 5 minutes of action, movement, or energy output and you can best believe I will sleep on this. And even If I dont come up with something, it was a great brain exercise. Anytime very little effort produces that much output, it needs to be improved and used and sold or marketed. So you guys who are smart, think about this.. Make a our world a better one.. Shits goin crazy..
+Prince Chawmin Dude, did you say that this thing create energy ? ayy lmao, it's just a magnet rotating against another magnet... if you do pretty much anything to the rotating magnet it brutally loses energy and stops in no time.
***** Or charge a battery bank; ever hear of a charge controller? Sure you have, it's all about thinking outside the box and producing something useful. As far as stopping goes, ok spin her again. Or find a way to make it spin using external forces...ie the wind.
If I may make a few predictions. This magnetic discovery is nothing more than a magnetic pendulum that swings in a circular motion. It will behave in the same manner as a weight hung from a string swinging back and forth. The energy of the system never increases, and when he starts the magnet off, its the same thing as when you pull back on the weight of the pendulum and release it from height. The weight will never reach out farther than where it was lifted to originally and will continue to lose energy because of friction. That even in a perfect vacuum, this will eventually come to a stop, just as a pendulum will. You can likely make predictions of how long it will spin based on the strength of the magnetic force, and the mass and geometry of the swinging pieces. When I see comments like, why are we not powering our homes with this, it's the same thing as asking why we don't power our homes with a pendulum. It's because we would still need a way of putting energy into the system...and a way of getting the energy out of the system in an efficient manner. Honestly though, I could see it as a possible means of storing energy, temporarily, but the size of the weights and the friction might make it a very inefficient way of doing so. In conclusion, this might not be the breakthrough that we are all so desperately looking for to save our planet. Rather, just a seven minute long magnetic pendulum video with some hilarious commentary and a comment section full of optimistic and hopeful individuals who just so happen to have a little more enthusiasm for science than actual scientific understanding.
+MY TiNY little MiND well like brad said, it would be just so tiring and soooooo hard to push a pendulum a couple times a day to get some free energy for a day in your house. Its soooo much work. Thats why we just pay for it instead.
You can't honestly think that you could get lasting energy from a pendulum. It produces just enough energy to power a grandfather clock... now unless you want to be pushing giant pendulums all day long, I suggest you plug into the grid. It would be more efficient to directly spin the generator by hand than to do it through this magnetic device.
It does this because the stack set in motion is trying to ride a giant bidirectional dielectric current called a hypertrochoid in which mass is heavily alleviated. Because mass is not completely negated and resistance is in consideration, there is a tapering amount of time in which the stack will slowly lose its ability to ride the inertia placed upon it.
This is a principle called conservation of angular momentum. It's the same reason why an ice skater spins faster as she pulls her arms towards her body.
1. not really, I watched 25 minutes video before 2. it's my time, not yours... 3. already done 4. already done 5. already done 6. already done 7. I don't think I have to do it 8. are you running out of ideas? 9. they're busy playing games 10. but that what I think about this 11. I'm a human 12. wife? cheating? maybe yours, I'm not married yet 13. no 14. already done 15. sure, just check it minutes ago 16. that what I'm thinking about you 17. already done, check yours 18. not me, maybe yours and your wife might have something to do with it. 19. no, why you asked that? 20. good for you 21. Ok 22. hmm...it suppose to be boring.. 23. I don't know bout that 24. let's find out 25. are you gonna do jump scares..? 26. exactly that is what I'm expected...
There is no magic here at all I'm afraid. The energy being expended by the wobbling magnets is exactly the same as what was used to pull the magnets to the side to start the process. The very hard surfaces of the glass and the magnet provides extremely low friction to roll on. If the surfaces of either were softer, the wobble would end much faster. This is exactly why trains still use steel wheels on steel tracks. The steel used in both the wheels and the rails is extremely hard but it also has to be flexible enough to not break under the enormous weight of a freight car or locomotive engine. If there were dedicated vehicles to run on tracks that were never allowed to surpass certain speeds or weights, they could make the wheels and rails much more brittle and the energy cost to move would go down dramatically. There is also wind resistance albeit negligible in this demonstration. If you were to put, say, another magnet, perhaps attached to some tiny motor to do some work the wobble would end very quickly. And if a motor does no work, it is useless. Read up on flywheel batteries to gain an understanding about friction and mass in motion relationships.
Vacuum and the glass on a gimbal. Or, glass on the bottom of the magnet, with a smaller magnet in harmonic resonance. To keep it going. Ken Wheeler shows that magnets aren't attracted to each other. They are attracted to a vortex between the magnets. You can see this with a Ferrocell. Or, in Ken Wheeler's videos, Ken's newer videos.
I remember I had a set of magnets as a kid. I was watching the grim adventures of billy and Mandy at my grandma’s house when I accidentally swallowed it. I held it a foot above my head, and dropped it into my mouth. It went perfectly straight and dropped down my throat, giving me no chance to stop it. Recently I went to have an MRI done and brought this up, asking if it could still be there, putting me at risk for internal injury? Technician just callously said “guess we’ll find out” before ushering me into the room. Not a very comforting sentiment... This is the RU-vid equivalent of messing with a door stopper for 20 minutes
if you placed 3 magnets on the shelf below fixed at just the correct distance in a triangle alignment remember they must be fixed with a couple of pins or tacks the 3 magnets will keep on pulling on the bottom swing motion as if you were to continually swing it with your fingertips and it will never stop swinging it will go on continually.
im not an expert but i think it may be using the energy from the magnetism between the magnets, so it loses a bit of magnetism so it couldnt be used to generate infinite energy
Yes, I agree that it gives out nore energy than the mass of the magnets implies. The magnetism must be significantly greater then gravity, thus the 'weight' of the magnets in 'up' direction is dominant and counter intuitive to us Earthlings.
When you see something that doesn't appeal to your tastes on your Recommended videos you can click on the three dots on the upper-right corner and select "Not interested" That way youtube stops showing this kind of videos on your feed
So what's insane? The fact that minimal friction between two solid rolling surfaces (like in any bearing, but with only one, not preloaded contact point, instead of number of balls x 2, preloaded contact points) means minimal energy lost in a well balanced system? That's insane? Nope, insane is the sad reality that this shitty click-bait title managed to bring in almost 2 milion viewers...
+Twiggy the lizard how do you measure the amount of output energy? By the time it runs? In zero gravity and void, it would run forever. It's called inertia. It doesn't run long because of "high output energy", but because "low losses through low friction".
Polish the edges of the contacting magnet, and the glass surface, to as fine and perfect a finish as you can get (atomically smooth). That will really make the thing go for even longer! (Every bit of sound from spinning is an indication of a loss of angular momentum as the spinning disk rolls over asperities in the glass surface.) Very cool vid!
What if you put a grain, right in the middle of the magnet bellow that touches the glass?! It will never stabilize and perhaps run for longer as the angle created by the grain and the border of the magnet will avoid it to fully stop when the surface of both magnets get really close to each other. I believe that with just text I became the ultimate master of suspense now. Hitchcock got nuthing on me and you too mister Latheman. :D
Duane Potgieter Actually, the amount of energy put in is the amount of energy you get out of it. An application of this sort would not be achievable for the reasons that perpetual motion is a current impossibility and all magnets, no matter how strong, can and will eventually lose their magnetism.
This is NO discovery. A heavy plate will do the same. You just have very low friction, and thus very low damping because the glass and chromed surfaces in contact are hard!
I think you have discovered "Magnetic Energy". That is what the aliens use to fly their aircraft. They say they don't mind us having magnets as long as we don't use it for energy, because they use a whole lot of it. They use earth's magnetic energy all the time to power their ufos.

Just as the last one is about to stop you should have put the Exorcist face up accompanied with a scream. That would scare the living shit out of people :-)
This was the most exciting while boring thing in my entire life. Amazing! :D If teachers could keep my attention as well as this stuff did, I guess I would be a Bill Gates like lad today. :D
Let me explain. Spin a dish on a work surface so it goes wobba wobba wobba round and round for 16/20 seconds before stopping. Now that is an upside-down version of your magnet trick - the magnetic pull being replaced by gravity as the propulsion, rather than magnetic pull. You ain't winning no Nobel Prize for your childlike observation
Raymond Ashby Man! You got something wrong! What's the matter? I said, if the teachers in school could kept my attention as well as this video did, I would be a better student with better results. That's all. Do not explain me anything about upside down magnet spinning things. This video is simply awesome mostly because of the funny subtitles.
