People, let me just give you a word of advice
Magnet motors are BS. There is no such thing. Perpetual motion is a lie.
If there is ONE THING I am sure of in this universe in which we currently reside, it's that you CANNOT GET MORE ENERGY OUT THAN IN.
Do not waste time on "free energy". I first got into this movement due to free energy, and the whole thing is a gigantic waste of time.
Man, people have argued that with me so f**king much.
Alright, think of a hamster wheel that powers a lightbulb. The hamster turns it and the lightbulb lights. Now here's a science lesson for you.
Materials:
D battery
copper wire
screw
Actually screw it. I found the exact tutorial online and the cool thing is is that they use scientific terms. I say, "you attach the thing to the stuff that moves the thingamajig" when they say "warp 10....engage."
So check this out.
http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/HomopolarMotorI've done this tutorial a few years back however I made an actual engine for an rc helicopter I'm building from scratch...I recently went to a 50 pound combustion engine though. This thing roars.
So look at how this works. This actually uses a battery, which isn't necessary. You can get tube magnets so when you throw in (inside the tube magnet) a pole wrapped in copper wire, it (the pole, so it needs to be fixed to something that will allow it to rotate) will rotate automatically when you spin it. So yes, you need to crank it like I said earlier somewhere. You can easily use a capacitor to keep the charge that is built up which then, from the capacitor, the charge is released into the motor. This way the engine turns even faster creating yet more of a charge...which causes it to spin more.....forever.
You can regulate the speed by using different capacitors. Anyway, we should have a tech section for us to post our neato experiments. Hmmm, actually I think we do.
Seriously, try it. It's fun.
