North End of Magnet Turns Faster Experiment

The hypothesis is that the north end of a magnet acting as a compass will rotate faster and farther than the south end of that magnet when the magnet is nearer the Earth's magnetic north.
The setup is a larger magnet a distance away from a floating magnet. The floating magnet is placed in such a position that the way it will normally point is about 60 degrees from the larger magnet.
The floating magnet is then turned away from its normal position and released.
The observation is that the north end of the magnet turns farther and faster than the south end of the magnet.
The conclusion is that this also applies to a magnet acting as a compass in Earth's magnetic field.
The background is that small magnetic boats that swing side to side appear to drive or translate northward and not turn at their center of mass. This is a suggested means of accelerating small satellites in low Earth orbit in certain ways without the use of propellant.
Stay tuned:)

this experiment is really unclear, it doesn't look to me like it's doing what you're saying it's doing.

Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate your criticism and admit that it's a very informal experiment. I'd be happy if others will do a more strict test of what the video is claiming. By releasing the boat by hand there is a lot of variation in each trial. Any suggestions as to make a stricter study on the hypothesis is welcome or a reference to a study as well.

@@magneticpropulsion2507 it looks to me like you let it go while the top side is closer to the magnet but i honestly can't follow what it is that you're trying to do anyway.
neo magnets don't have fields that large so the one sitting in that room shouldn't affect the one on the boat at all

The stack of neo magnets tacked to the floor are 3/4 inch by 1/4 inch n52 and are very strong even at several feet away especially on other magnets. The observation is both that the north end moves faster and the effect of the magnet on another magnet in making it turn is very much more than the attraction end to end. Thank you for your interest.
