How to build a cheap perpetual energy generator (FAUX-TO)

Build a cheap perpetual energy generator (FAUX-TO)

F for FAKE. This video has been labeled a "Faux-To". Commonly contested as bogus science, we believe this video to be a hoax. What's your opinion? Comment below.

Regardless of what this is called, this free energy looks amazing when demonstrated. This video tutorial will show you how to make it.

You can take a small electric motor from a children's toy and attach the wires to a battery to rotate the motor. What you'll need to fire up a light bulb without a battery is the motor, a light bulb, a plastic lid, super glue, Scotch tape, three matches, magnets, and wire cutters.

Never pay for electric again! Just imagine how much money you could save if you build a big version of the perpetual energy generator in this how-to video.

The magnet will eventually demagnetize. Fun demonstration of magnetism and electricity, but it isn't "perpetual energy." You can't run much this way either, which is why he's using an LED.

Anthonyk312 5 months ago

it's technicaly not free energy unless a fuel was not used. believe it or not magnets are a fuel. you need energy to magnetize them in the first place. magnets are more like storage capsules for electromagnetic energy. how did you think electromagnets worked.

mrshlmoltke last month

But still the magets input source is still less than the output. If i were to get a iron bar and magnetize it, the original magnet would be no weaker. How does this not break the laws of thermodynamics. Please help me understand.

"magnets are more like storage capsules for electromagnetic energy" Not even close.
http://www.magnetsales.com/Design/DesignG_frames/frame_dgbod2.htm#modernmag
Read up. Once an NdFeB "rare earth" is produced, there is very little degradation of the magnetic force. It would take a very strong magnetic force, a good deal of heat, or a LOONNNGG time to demagnetize these magnets, and until then, they continually exert the same magnetic force. Very much unlike a battery. Electromagnets temporarily align the domains of a "soft" ferromagnetic substance using a charged solenoid.

did any of those who say it just won't work did realize one of these generators to show it fails?
If answer is no, please, stick to science paradigm and avoid the void repetition of common places (third law of thermo-dynamics cannot be prooven, only his false-hood could and this generator, if working actually IS a falseness proof enough).
If answer is no, please give us proof just like the author of this video did.

I think it is great but I feel that we should avoid using the word "perpetual" when naming something that is not actually perpetual. Maybe "magnetic energy device" would be better.

i saw this video and though i was skeptical i built my own version...well, i didn't work...it would make a great "wheel of fortune"....i tried using several "kick" magnet (off wheel)for more of a "sweeping effect" but no luck....i'm still going to tinker with it because i hate it when something i build doesn't work...there is no way the one in the video could work from my experience with that design.....oh, well.....happy,happy.

i thought of this idea a while back being used with a wind generator w/o using wind and using magnets, and havent got to test it yet. would you get a greater result by fixing the 12 magnets at a 45 degree angle?

This is a complete scam. Holding a permanent magnet next to a bunch of other permanent magnets on a wheel isn't going to turn anything. The guy wired the DC motor with a hidden battery to turn the wheel and light the LED.

Hey wouldnt u get more energy if you put thin coils of copper wire as close as possible to the wheel (like a generator)? Also you dont really need the motor just an axle for the wheel to turn.
Hey everybody is this array just a perpetual motor?
Really IS IT?

This is not perpetual motion. Perpetual motion involves a generator that creates more power than it makes and uses the excess to power itself. This motor uses permanent magnets for power, NOT its own energy.

paceti - you are correct. It's actually called a 'magnetic motor' - simply.

AntiAntagonist - you are correct; NOT perpetual - the magnets will eventually degauss. However, you should rethink your comments regarding power supply (as the model can be up-scaled).

dixieoutlaw4x4 - 400 years is not accurate (as the magnets are in motion - also, don't forget the friction/vibration).

If it ran on electro-magnets it powered itself and still produced excess energy, even if it was a nano-volt, I would be impressed.

Phasespace 8 months ago

There's no way this thing would work... a closed loop line integral of the force in a magnetic field is zero thus making this "perpetual" energy motor nonsense. So either this is a hoax or something else (still not perpetual) is driving the motor.

You're doing work by moving the magnet that's in your hand. I'm sure you know that if you leave that magnet stationary, the generator will stop. Shame on you for being misleading.

Fantastic! Imagine the look on the faces of all those scientists with their big expensive laboratories and research grants when they see this.
I bet they will regret all the money they have spent on useless nuclear fusion research. If only they had a plastic lid and some magnets lying around when they started the Manhattan project! Imagine what a different world it would be now.

kramerr 7 months ago

This is a hoax. Some clever edditing has allowed a battery to be hidden somewhere. A constant magnetic field is not a source of energy. The law of conservation of energy prevents a wheel from accelerating and a light from glowing without an input of energy. This video plays on the general lack of understanding of magnetic fields to defraud people.

The set-up works as long as the handheld magnet is moved now and then to allow for the magnets to have proper repulsion and or attraction. Question is: Is the energy required to move the magnet by hand less than the produced rotational energy? If so, then you have the answer to the world's energy problem.

AWESOME!!! Thats a really cool trick you did, i think it really works! Maybe i can power my console or something with a really BIGGER version of that LOL

KingRico94 4 months ago

I tried that, but it's really not as easy as this video makes it out to be. You must angle the magnets just so, or the magnet's opposite pole will attract the drive magnet( the car track magnet). I tried this for a science project this previous year, and very nearly didn't complete a project at all; it's catastrophic failure forced me to switch topics entirely. I was extremely dissapointed with the way my version worked- or rather, failed to work. Perhaps I did it wrong; if so, I invite all who read this to correct me. Until then, it looks to me as though this video has been labeled a 'faux-to' for good reason.

*SIGH* I was not a doubter (indeed, I am a biology teacher) and as my physics is not too hot and since I thought it would be a great demonstration in class, I went out and bought a wide selection of magnets and motors of various sizes to test this out.

FAIL ! All that happens is as people have said previously, the magnets rock a little back and fourth then they stop. Even if you spin the mechanism to give it power, it stops very quickly. I repeated this using different strength magnets and various motors and nothing happened.

I would love it to have worked and am pleased I tested it myself, rather than just nay saying... another video would be great, or start selling the set up (with a guarantee) as I want to join the celebration, but otherwise... I'm out !

murphjos 2 months ago

This would not work if the magnet was fixed in place rather than hand held, subtle, constant corrections of the proximity of magnets to one an other is required to keep this moving. You are converting muscular excretion to electricity. This is no big trick, I suspect a generator on a stationary bike would produce a better ratio of expended calories to watts generated. Wendy’s handed out a toy with kids meals a few months ago that was essentially the same device; It was a toy monkey (Captain Huggy Face to be exact) with a round bottom that allowed it to spin like a top and a toy remote control. Each contained a small fixed magnet. If you place Captain Huggy Face on a table and hold the remote near by, he spins in place. If you put the remote on table, nothing happens or they stick together. It is the subtle corrections made by your eye-brain-hand that keep the two parts of toy consistently the same distance apart which in turn keeps the monkey spinning.

flashbaztard 2 months ago

this is not right
leave all the motor and light out and just try to get the magnets to rotate first [as i have tried]
yes you get a 'kick from the first magnet [say + to + but then when its passed the + side, the - side atracts to the + which stops it] all makes sense when you try it!
i tried with a bike wheel and big magnets
there is a site on the web under free energy that deals with all stuff like this and none of them work!

reddevved 2 months ago

dim witt 2 months ago

I did this over 20 years ago and it did not work, (flashbaztard) stated why it does not work, If you could shield the magnet to stop the attraction on one side and then use the repel side it would work, but alas, nothing will shield the magnet. It passes through everything. I also tried to focus the magnetic force sort of llike a lense is used to focus light, but it does not work either.

PhoenixCode last month

you can get a decent shielding for one side of the magnet from old computer hard drives, they have stuper strong magnets which actually allready have a shielding on 1 side (generally theres 2 magnets witht he shielding in every hard drive).

many computer places will jsut throw out the old/broken down/ un repairable hard drives, so u can get it for free and give ti a try

RChadwick last month

Scam. The motor was powered somehow from below. I was attracted to watch this video specifically because of the claim it was ALMOST PR. It's obvious it's nowhere close to 'Almost'. Scam. Fraud. BS. Hey, you MIGHT have had a better chance of snagging more believers if you didn't throw so much voltage into it. Then again, it could be done with magnets under the table. Either way, you should have made it spin 30RPM or something.

RChadwick last month

Oops, PR should have been PM, Perpetual Motion.

Zipity last month

costa200 last month

I can't believe some guys in here actually believed this... Ain't it painfully obvious the wheel is being powered by the motor and not the other way around?

dids223 last month

It is possible for this too work!! so please stop saying its fake, when it will work. I've had one magnet spin with 3 outer magnets, so I know its possible! good work on your video!!

greg2fs last month

It's absolutely NOT possible, else nobody would build nuclear central when we could have free energy at home, perpetual movement doesn't exist and will never exist, we cannot create energy, just transform something in something else, magnets are not energy storage. If it has no electic power source used in this video the nearest magnet would go to the nearest point from the handled magnet and just stay here.

Sorry but it's 100% fake. Here we have a stupid coments generator !

How_to_be_awesome 3 weeks ago

Do your research. MANY people have already built one. China is replacing their nuclear power plants with massive versions of this generator and 10Kw versions will be in people's homes soon. It's not perpetual motion, but it is free energy.

dustin583 last month

Even if it's not rigged, the magnet will eventually become de-magnitized. This claim is that the magnet is the fuel, magnets require high heat to produce, thus making them an expensive fuel.

Grapestain last month

This is a FAKE. The magnets coming closer gives the same force as the ones going away. No real force is generated. It was made by a fake wiring or a big electromagnet under the table.

comklene last month

u r compleatley correct.
there is no such thing as perpetual motion.
u can't create anything from nothing.
It is FAKE!!!

How_to_be_awesome 3 weeks ago

The Universe is pretty damn perpetual. Where did that come from? Besides, the magnet is not actual creating anything, it's taking energy from it's environment and you can magnetize iron in a fraction of a second and it will stay that way for hundreds of years.

How_to_be_awesome 3 weeks ago

China is replacing nuclear power plants with giant versions of these, and small ones will be in peoples homes soon. A guy in Australia will be selling them soon and you can get the plans and build one yourself for about 100 bucks. Many people have built machines like this that create clean free energy, but whenever they try to make it public, they get threatened, and some just disappear or wind up dead. We need to stand up for this technology.
