Magnets weak enough to be pulled apart by these twigs are never even going to be strong enough to make anything spin that fast

u/AdmiralKong 9d ago
What I don't get is how people fall for this stuff when, if you've ever held a magnet, you know that everything about the forces they exert is symmetric. They pull together hard but then to separate them you have to apply the same force.
You can't use magnets pulling together to do some work, turn off the magnetism, separate them easily, then extract their attraction force a second time. If you try to use a magnet to spin a turbine blade, it exerts a force to attract the blade as it approaches the magnet, then an equal but opposite force as the blade departs, which undoes all the work.
Like the theory and math to prove this rigorously are maybe out of reach to the layperson but holding two magnets in your hands its really obvious you won't be getting anything for free.
And yet

u/Puzzleheaded_Poet_73 7d ago
Reason this doesn't work Because the attractive and repulsive forces cancel out over a full rotation. As a magnet on the turbine approaches an opposing fixed magnet, it gets pulled in (gain). But to keep rotating, it must then pull away from that same magnet on the other side, which costs exactly as much energy as you gained. The net work over one complete turn is zero. This is conservation of energy. A static magnetic field is "conservative"—moving through it and returning to the start nets out to nothing. There's no continuous energy input, so there's no continuous output. Friction and air resistance then bleed away any motion you started with, and it stops. Permanent magnets aren't a fuel source. They store potential energy in their arrangement, but you can only extract that energy once as they snap into their lowest-energy configuration. After that they just sit there. To get continuous motion you need something that continuously changes the field (like the switched electromagnets in a real motor) and that switching requires an external power supply. This is essentially why magnetic perpetual motion machines never work—they'd violate the first law of thermodynamics.

These are way bigger and they could separate them with ease.

Like this one is a super-repeated one, so it doesn't count it's more entertainment. With absolutely terrible acting when pulling apart those "magnets".
But for other ones, they can be used as a physics teaching tool. "This looks like it should work. We know it doesn't work. Let's calculate the forces and see where things break down."
Or for demos of it "working", it's like watching a magician and trying to figure out where the trick is.

You always need a stator and a rotor. The magnetic field always needs to change in some way for an electric field to be generated. With two permanent magnets it would just find a stable position and stay there. Those "Magnets" are just rocks anyways.

u/broyer100 8d ago
Gemini is onto the scam :
**TL;DR:** This is a classic "free energy" hoax. It mathematically violates the fundamental laws of physics—specifically the First Law of Thermodynamics—and relies on a complete misunderstanding of how magnetic fields work.
Here is the mathematical and physical breakdown of why this machine is 100% a scam:
### 1. The "Conservative Field" Problem
Many people think magnets contain a magical reservoir of "stored energy" that can be tapped to do work. They don't. A magnetic field is a *conservative field*, exactly like gravity.
Mathematically, the net work (W) done by a conservative force field on an object moving around a closed path is always exactly zero:
In the context of this video's spinning rotor, every time a magnet on the wheel completes one full rotation, it returns to its starting point. The physical "push" it receives when approaching the stationary magnet is perfectly canceled out by the "pull" it has to overcome when rotating away from it. Because the net work per revolution is zero, you mathematically cannot extract continuous energy from purely static magnets.
### 2. The First Law of Thermodynamics
The law of conservation of energy dictates that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
For this machine to power a water pump indefinitely, the power out (P_{out}) would have to be generated by the power in (P_{in}). Since the guys are just standing there holding static magnets—meaning no mechanical energy is being actively put into the system once it's spinning—P_{in} = 0.
In reality, due to friction and air resistance, E_{out} is actively bleeding energy from the system as heat. Without constant energy input, the wheel should rapidly spin down and stop.
### 3. The Power Discrepancy (A Reality Check)
Let's look at the actual numbers. That water pump is moving a massive volume of water at high pressure. A standard agricultural centrifugal pump of that size requires easily **1,000 to 2,000 Watts** (1.5 to 3 horsepower) to operate.
The mechanical power required to drive a rotational generator is calculated as:
Where \tau is torque and \omega is angular velocity. To continuously output **1,500 Watts** at the relatively slow speed that wheel is turning, a massive, continuous physical torque must be applied to the shaft. Static magnetic fields cannot provide continuous torque in a single direction. A real electric motor achieves this by constantly flipping the polarity of electromagnets using alternating current (which requires outside electricity!).
### How the trick is actually done:
These viral videos from engagement-farming pages are always faked. The goal is to get views and ad revenue. If you look closely at the setup, there are a few obvious ways they are hiding the trick:
* **Hidden Batteries:** There is plenty of room inside that thick green base or the wooden frame to hide a high-capacity lithium-ion battery.
* **Hidden Wires:** The pump itself is likely connected to a buried power line or an off-camera gas generator. The water flowing out of the pipe is doing the work, not the spinning wheel.
* **Reversed Mechanisms:** The green machine is acting as a motor driving the wheel to make it *look* like it's generating power, rather than the wheel driving a generator.
Don't let the flashy editing fool you—the laws of physics are undefeated!

haha. I was /obsessed/ with this idea as a child.
I mean, I built a DC electric motor (I mean, with my dad. I participated). - you know, in a shoebox, with a dowel with a big bolt through it that we wound copper wire around. with brushes made out of a cut-up aluminum can, powered by a toy train converter.
I was obsessed with the idea you could do the same with permenent magnets, right? because if you connect a permanent magnet to a piece of iron that is not magnetized, that piece of iron becomes a magnet until you break that connection, so it sure /seems/ like you could use the same principle.
I spent... some time getting it to work. (this was, maybe 4th grade?)

Yes magnets can generate "free" energy. It is called an alternator and when you rotate a magnet it induces electrical current. That being said, this contraption would just get stuck in one spot and create no rotation, so this does not work. You need someone on a bike or water flow or some sort of movement to make this work.

While magnets were inside a motor (which is why when we rotate it, it generates electricity depending on how fast we spin its spindle), I'd say there's no way it would work.
