Bravo. There's a reason this man hasn't posted in a year, he's figured out free energy. Those smart and curious enough to follow his bread crumbs, may find it as well 😏
I enjoy that you strive for the oddity of Length "run" of time, vs usable functionality of your "engines".
They are for sure, a piece of Art. :3
That is awesome. Really cool build.
NightHawkInLight Thanks. I just visited your channel. Your videos look really interesting. You have a new subscriber.
@@lasersaber Now you both have a new subscriber each, ME! (Also super awesome to see Dave from EEVBlog reply here)
I've been watching your videos for years and I'm always amazed by your research rabbit holes. Great idea!
I love it. I still have my square (4) N52s with a square piece of pyro-graphite floating in a cabinet for many years now. People freak out when they see it floating. I must now do something like this. Awesome work!!!
Where'd you get the idea? I did the same around 2005 for a science fair project. 5th grade. Found it on Scitoys.com.
Edit: wow, the site is still up AND that project is on the front page. Brings back memories.
@@JPRucks Just like I found yours. I was on YT and came across Dia-magnetic levitation or maybe it was Makerfair? I forget now. I've ever seen round magnets used though. Very cool motor you built.
Scott Basham I'm not the video's OP, but that's interesting. I just asked because that's the exact setup I used. Thought you might have bought the kit from that website.
@@JPRucks Here's a great place to buy all the stuff you need. www.kjmagnetics.com/
I agree with your thought to pull a vacuum on that chamber and see what it does to your power usage.
Sometimes the point to a build is the build itself. Keep building.
My guess is that the power usage will be almost the same because it mostly depends on coil resistance. The difference is it'll spin faster at that current - less resistance. Actually my guess is that it will probably accelerate forever ... almost - there are other magnetic fields that will try to slow it down - earth or radio waves. But it'll be still cool to see how it gets faster and faster
There is absolutely negligible wind resistance on something that small moving that slowly. Waste of time
@@rsmith155 but it would also be easy to do...so why wouldn't you?
The Scubersteve it would only be "easy" if you already have access to the right equipment. In order to pull enough vacuum for it to actually be worthwhile, that is.
It's a shaft and a disc... Ultimately You won't have accurate enough equipment to measure the miniscule difference. In fact, it might not exist anywhere.
You could eliminate the battery and use a energy harvesting antenna and rectifier.. I have a circuit that used to be in nuts and volts magazine back in the 1990s, it powered a small transistor radio. Then you could put a vacume on it without worry... No chemical components involved..
Yes, I have been thinking about trying the "Tate ambient power module".
@@lasersaber The "Tesla" Radione radio should be able to be found for download out in the internet... If not let me know...
ok do not give the mad scientist MORE ideas!
Would like to see that !
hey dude whats going on? is there anything we can do to help, havent seen anything new recently.
I can tell you are one of the few honest UA-camrs. Their are so many fakes out their that it blows me away. Being honest is one of the few things that make things worth while. Especially when it comes to ultra low energy draw. So nice to hear you use some technical terminology wording to bring these ideas grounded so to speak. Keep on making these gadgets for all to learn from who are naysayers and non believers. If I have any ideas I will let you know. Keep on making more videos too.
But why he is not posting any videos since 10 months
Is he dead or cops the took him ?????
Reply me bro
I am from India watching his videos regularly suddenly he stopped posting videos
@@loganathanvb6834 I am also waiting for more videos also. How are things in India ?? Keep your fingers crossed and maybe something will happen soon.
@@victoryfirst2878
Yep 🤞🤞🤞
@@loganathanvb6834 I am amazed that this actually works. Look forward for the next iteration of the next step. Keep up the great work fella and peace too.
That's a really nice and amazing motor you've made! Excellent work! Because the unit draws such a small amount of current, you can easily power it with a radiant energy collection circuit. I'd love to see that operate in a vacuum. A++
Thanks. It should be possible to scavenge the needed amount of energy from environment. I will have to keep experimenting.
Are you going to stay active on this channel? I love everything I’ve seen so far! Please make more videos?!....
Did they silence you? Keep discovering and sharing.
Youve out done yourself this time mate, looks beautiful well done! congrats.
p.s. they will have a lasersaber museum at some point lol
Good grief, don't write your eulogy just yet eh ;)
LOL.. not what i ment haha. Ment it as a compliment, right next to tesla
A beautiful machine! The problem is that any external disturbance may destabilize it and reset your run timer! :-) I suggest you enclose the upcoming vacuum bell into a 10 ft thick concrete vault to protect it! Future archaeologists may find this artefact and be amazed at the technology of ancient humans! This is your legacy! :-)
Very open and kind of you to put a diagram. Your research is very valuable especially as it is so open. Thank You
I'm not worthy... This is stunning. Great build and excellent video production value. Love the expression "running on Tesla's last breath".
Thanks for answering my question! I’m still amazed at how little the current draw is!
Yes, up until you asked about it I was just happy to have a levitating rotor working.
Wow I thought the channel was dead. Glad to have you back!!!! Thank you for uploading!!!!!
Man, I really miss your uploads. They are always so unique and genuinely interesting. I know how hard it can be to make time for this sort of thing with just a single kid and you have more than one so...anyway, is there any chance that you will start uploading your designs and experiments again? Your para-motoring videos are also super fun to watch.
This is just breathtakingly awesome!!! Well done!
The power loss on the resistors is P = R*I^2 = 24MOhm * (150nA)^2 = 0.54µW. So the total power usage would be 0.54µW + 0.00495µW = 0.54495µW which gives around 816 years on 3.9Wh.
You are right but different combinations give you a different reaction and results!!!
True, also if you know the foundation or basis you can calculate with precision the outcome or result of any varied combination.
Your channel one of the coolest channels on UA-cam it's algorithm treating you unjustly it's the only channel I'll press the bell button to be notified on ne uploads.
Back in the early 2000s I was researching and working on concepts for over unity devices. I took a break for a long while and now I feel like it's time to start up again. People are going to need this technology soon. I've watched plenty of vids to see where things are at presently and even now I still don't see many inventors utilizing phi geometry in their devices. Phi allows for nondestructive acceleration and compression of charge. It was always at the core of my own research. In fact Tesla was also infatuated with the great pyramid and sacred geometry. Atm I'm looking at making a blend of your air coil concept and a starship coil.
I have been watching this video for a year now, and it still runs!
Nice job Ls. This would easily run from the energy a foxhole radio would deliver. You would then have no need for a battery
Thanks for the encouragement. I think I will try running one of these off an aerial antenna.
Surely you'd definitly draw enough from an antenna, the likes of which a crystal radio would use?
This is so cool! I love it! The levitation is so much better than I imagined. Congratulations!
Thanks. I have some ideas to improve the levitation even more.
i hope that the mechanical reed switch stay also healthy for this long life range , don't worry , your channel is my favorite , love it
Wonderful build and filming of it running. What a great design!
Thanks, I think you would enjoy building one of these.
You could maybe power this from a tritium "nuclear" battery. i.e. tritium fluoro vials and a solar cell.
As others said, you didn't include the resistor power drop in the calcs.
So awesome to see you here! I love your channel and videos. I especially love your teardown videos. I actually have powered a motor on tritium: ua-cam.com/video/3B5JPuEUCyc/v-deo.html
I did not calculate the resistors because I was curious how long it would run on the 3.9Wh of energy that the AA battery represents. I really should have made that more clear in the video. Oh well live and learn.
@@lasersaber Thanks. Fantastic build BTW, very impressive.
@@lasersaber u still alive
@@propopopa6869 yes.
Just the simplicity is awesome, nice work. Now is when I wish I had 3D printers and such.
It's a Beauty!
I noticed that the rotor nearly stops when a magnet approaches a coil. After passing the coil it receives a slight push.
Meaning ... that if you can make it run smoother without breaking at every coil, you could easily(!) double the run time ;-)
Reducing the amount of coils would help already.
Am I dreaming? Are you back from like a 4-5 years break from UA-cam? Very happy to see you're alive mate.
Ok, I don't what I got 4-5 years from, but I was sure that was how long you've been gone. But after watching this video I just noticed a video from 2 years ago. I seriously thought I had scavenged through all your videos. Could this be a UA-cam manipulation I've been a victim of?
So cool. Was just looking up cool levitating magnet toys for my work desk and came across this. Very impressed
While achieving such apparent long run times from an AA cell, I wonder if a magnet and plastics used would be durable for such a long period. I would think a vacuum would let you have a high rpm with a lower power consumption.
I’d be happy to own one that runs on a single tiny watch cell for 80 years!
It’s fascinating to see and mind boggling to try to imagine how efficient these things actually are, thanks for the update on this awesome project.
I'd love to see some more of your videos - was sad to see your website isn't up any more!
I did this 3 years ago. After many failures with sapphire bearings I went the magnet bearing route - only a lot less complicated design.
This could be a contender for longer runtime than that electrostatic bell.
Time will tell. I am not sure that the PLA plastic will last very long. I need to build a better one out of longer lasting materials.
This is the coolest Science related video, that I have seen for quite a while now 🙂.
I can help you understand, but I'm Russian,
we found ancient knowledge that explained everything,
especially how you managed to make water, I really want to talk.
That is impressive and at the same time a thing or art, looks great and it works 🙂👍
Could you please try running it from ceramic capacitors? They should be durable enough to run it for decades
Hey bitluni :)
I would need to locate a low voltage high capacity one.

Where have you been are you gonna come back?
Ring magnets.. Genius!!! I thought there might be some drag with the straight pieces. Man that looks amazing. 150nA? Good lord.
where did you go?
Waiting on your next video mate, all your videos have been awesome, I wish you would get back to doing one a week. Your the best out there.
Can see so many improvements... Neat project.
Hoping all is well it's been awhile. I really enjoy your videos thanks for sharing
Wow. Fantastic work, Sir! I look forward to more! Push the envelope!
I love your work. Thank you
Pull a vacuum in the glass bell and it'll spin even longer as lower air friction/density. Also try maybe use a hall effect sensor for the triggering! Lastly -You can tell the difference between an artist and a free energy nut, one wants to explore, create and learn, the other wants to 'be the first' and make money.
I can wait.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing. Looks great; happy to hear you lost a little sleep over it. :)
Please come back, we need you...
I never played with graphite in a magnetic field. I thought about it but could not think of a really good practical use for it. This is a super cool idea, I wonder if you could make this into a super sensitive Crookes radiometer. Fantastic idea and execution, keep on tinkering love the channel name!
It's not typical graphite- this stuff is deposited layer by layer in a controlled atmosphere. That's what gives it the diamagnetic (Para-?) effect
@@JPRucks That has to do with electron spin stability of electrons that are unpaired, I am not sure about the exact science details though. I have seen people float pencil graphite before as well. playing with this stuff is on my list of things to eventually do. Myself though I'm much more prioritized on optics currently.
This would make an interesting design for a long-term radio "beacon" for space-based navigation. Since the rotor will act as a gyroscope, station-holding _should_ be possible as long as nothing interferes with device. You could then attach small radio-absorbing baffles to the top of the rotor and have them rotate around a feflective core, meaning that any signals of the proper wavelength beamed in the direction of the beacon would be reflected at a specific rate.
Such an electro-mechanical oscillator would seem like a laughably Rube-Goldbergian way to build a beacon, but it also seems like something that might drive up the mean time between failure of other more energy-intensive systems. If, say, these things were seeded throughout a volume of space like the asteroid belt, anything that can reduce the costs of maintenance (and merely going _to_ the beacon would be the primary cost unless you've got some sort of maintenance bot that uses esoteric propulsion like solar sails) is a good choice.
This is awesome. Microamps is a small enough power consumption that the possibilities for powering it explode. Springs and weights have provided microamps for a very long time. Piezoelectrics could be arranged to completely baffle people, but would fundamentally be 'power from outside'. And, if you're allowing 'power from outside', using convection-oriented solar would be amusing. Or tuning cheesy Tesla coil ($15 from Amazon) pulling energy from background radiowaves. Edison's Nickel-Iron battery, perhaps for longevity.
This sounds like a good match for a crystal power cell, though you'd need to make the components of the cell pretty robust, to prevent the pressure from the crystals forming from bursting it.
A piezo microphone could probably passively harvest enough vibration(converted to DC) to run this and then some.
Very cool. It could be made a little bit more robust by adding a bumper over the top shaft magnet that would limit its travel in the case of accidental bump. It seems a little tremor will make the shaft shoot up
Does ring magnet mean hole in the center? Would love to experiment with this, but could definitely use some dimensions. (Hole size, relation to pyrolytic disk etc.) Thanks so much!
Hello
Just curious about how this still working one year after,
Did the reed switch failed or given some problems??
Miss your videos! Thanks for sharing again!
Tip. Yay some of things i and others said put to the test like the levitating and vacume. But you should use a very small energy source to last within a day and not centuries. Also try to use some of the energy it gives out back into it to compound the energy.
You can eliminate the battery and run it on radiant energy (static electricity exchange) using patent US685957A.
If you spray one side of an aluminum foil with lacquer to make in insulated, you've got your insulated plate they talk about.
The rest is self explanatory from the figures and diagrams of the patent.
How about using an earth battery.. or would the electrode wear out too soon?
Or how about a simple elevated length of wire outdoors with spark gap and diode and capacitor energy harvesting circuit from the air. That would produce enough power and last forever?
Hello. Nice build.
You should use the system voltage to calculate the power. You use the motor voltage of 40mv. That just tells you the motor power. The rest of the losses are in the resistor.
Another way to look at it is how much power is the battery losing? Answer = Battery voltage x 0.15uA
Great observation, and this is when we look into methods of energy storage and conjunction of other technology to either work with power leaks or continue with a joule thief apparatus to bring about desired output. The battery is not the problem rather the size of the wire that limits and constrict energy flow. There is only transfer of energy never loss. To transfer most efficient and effective without any energy leak or need for calibration it requires proper wire gauge and a direct connection. A power supply without branching of any other circuitry.
I haven't seen any new uploads from you in a while. I hope all is well.
Yeah I miss him as well
You could use electrostatic forces to spin your graphite motor.
I have not seen anything from you in a while, is everything ok? Have you given up on share your free energy ideas and inventions. Love the way you explain your designs. Awesome stuff mate.
I look forward to the next video in 8969 years.
A vacuum or gasees would be interesting to see, very interesting none the less. 👍
Great build. I swear I had this same idea in my head for about 3 years. It's good to see that it actually works. I have an idea that may improve this build. It could make it completely free energy.
Did I see two little button magnets at the top of the spindle? With perhaps a larger magnet above for stabilization? Consider extending the spindle (or lowering the rotating magnets) to avoid interaction with coils.
The distance is actually important as it gives a bias to the reed switch. Otherwise the tiny magnets on the rotor will not activate the reed switch.
Yes, I see the reed switches but I was thinking that if the upper magnet can stabilize the center magnets, then it could cause drag on the rotating magnets or reduce the effectiveness of the coils... Just a thought.
That's great. Really cool build. Big kudos for such a big project.
I would very much like to see the consumption test results if this engine was in vacuum, I'm sure the results would be better. Is it feasible to try something like that?
Greetings and much success in your future work. :)
amazingly hypnotized, hmmmm great work. I've been thinking of doing a levitating sphere.
wow he just post another video..so happy that he s come back healthy :p
Very beautiful experiment.
Офигенно!! Настоящая магнитная левитация. Молодец мужик!
hi it's been a while, i was wondering about the data from the experiments you were conducting with the diy super cap's, you were making with the aluminum plates coated in graphite and charcoal you had said you were going to try other materials . what were the results and which ended up being the best performance for the price of materials?
Every material has a unique feature that can be used for different types of applications. I experimented with a few variations and at first didn't see any difference. I noticed how aluminum served as an efficient material that gave more resistance with less voltage and wattage. I tried Graphite with copper and increased resistance and output voltage and conductivity. Any conductive material works for the caps the difference is in the output energy wave.
Hey, from a long time watcher.
Where did you go?
I got busy but now I can't even get to your website????
LED's can act as a solar panel when light is shined on them. The power generated is extremely small but I wonder if its enough to run this motor under reasonable lighting conditions. Maybe series/parallel several together and see what happens...
I am sure that it would work but not as well as a small amorphous solar cell.
@@lasersaber yes good point. I guess what's cool about it in my mind is that LED's are not thought of as an energy harvesting device. Good work on that motor though. Its impressive!
Wow... It's beautiful.
You need to somehow create the vaccume in that jar.
I am pretty sure the battery won't like the vaccume though.
@frank brown knob
so this is better off in deep space where it is cooler and a vacuum?
Jaw drop! Wow, that's artistic! Great job
Did you consider a dry capacitor and a small solar cell instead of the battery ? That could spin with an occasional light access forever
Fantastic work
I believe I have a battery that charges from electro static for atmospheric electricity the video that I sent you speaks on that but now senior project I think I'm going to try to build a motor with these types of batteries to see how long it will
I'm curious. Whatever became of this project? How long did it spin for? Also, was there any further evolution of the project? Thanks in advance.
Very cool project! Keep up the experiments!
The nice thing about POC projects is that they don't really need to "do" anything... I immediately wondered about possible uses for it, but that's the old mechanical designer in me... ;-)
Your total power use will include the set of series resistors. Measure the voltage drop across each resistor and throughout your entire system.
True if I am powering it with a higher voltage battery, but what I was trying to wrap my head around is how long it would run on the 3.9Wh of energy the AA battery represents. How long would the motor run on 3.9Wh worth of energy? I do not need to include the resistors because theoretically the 3.9Wh could be delivered at the appropriate voltage with no need for resistors. I think maybe I did not do a good job explaining what I meant in the video.
Hello I'm new to your channel, thanks for sharing everything😁
Thank you for your work
I'm curious what a Peizo Electric crystal would do, if attached in-line to the Copper wire sticking up in the open Air. Or what if the Crystal was placed near the spark gap....would it produce more current than the electrostatic charge....Just using the Electrostatic Charge to "Excite" the crystal so it will continually pulse out Current......
Make a simple thermopile, should last as long as the sun. :) Excellent!
Beautiful, a real marvel according your values it should work without battery by putting a zinc wire around a carbon pin, or 2 metals like copper and sink, also thermocouples are able to make this turn. The speed will be temperature depended. “ Peltier effect ”.
Where are you at these days?
1$ solar gadgets are my favorite tinker toys. So many activities.
Very sweet build! Well done.
Thanks.
Very satisfying to see concise videos about well-done experimentation. Do you have specific plans for implementing this motor or is it really just for fun?
Mostly just for fun, but there are some possible applications.
