magnetic motor

I came across this **LINK**. while researching thermo electic devices. Comments welcome.

Looks like a significant development of Clifford’s magnetic escapement ...

In the earlier part of the video we can clearly see the operator adding energy to the system, just because I cannot see this being done in the latter part doesn't mean it isn't happening.

There's any number of these shown in YouTube etc - you don't have to work out how the trick is done, it is obviously a trick.

What is that solenoid on the side for? I expect there is an energy supply for that.

Is that a solenoid ? ... it looks like a simple bearing.

YouTube must have completely changed the economics of perpetual motion machines. Historically you either needed to scam a rich sponsor or a number of gullible investors. Now all you need to do is attract thousands of clicks and the ad revenue trickles in risk-free. Even the most skeptical viewer is contributing.

Excellent analysis, Brian

The support / bearing on the side has at least got a spring in which transfers energy into the rotor when the pin is pulled. You can see effort being applied to pull it up at the end of the "run". It is large enough to have a AAA cell and solenoid hidden inside too if heeded. The small item under the wheel is also un-explained.

All of which is consistent with the device being a development of Clifford’s “escapement”

[ which, incidentally, is not an escapement in the usual sense ... but I didn’t write the patent; merely quoted it ]

Claims of having invented Perpetual Motion are being made perpetually. A few seconds thought will bring the conclusion that they are either mistaken or dishonest.

Some one has to pay for the "free" lunch|!

Hopefully, some of the schemes will provide, at least, a wry smile.

Do I smell Snake Oil?

With no intention of introducing the Brexit ‘backstop’ into this discussion ...

lt is worth noting that the claim in this instance is for “Spinning Indefinitely” not ”Spinning Perpetually”.

... Not quite the same thing.
