Back in July of 2007, Steorn embarrassed themselves by hosting a world-viewing demo of what was supposed to be a free energy device that defies the laws of physics as presently understood (wouldn’t be the first time in history). Unfortunately, their demo was botched. [1]

Meanwhile, a couple of Steorn forum members have been kicking around ideas for how to build an all-magnet motor with no other motive force. “Overconfident” came up with the idea, and Nikolabackwards (code for his actual username that he requested to not appear here) ended up building a prototype, then shot a video showing acceleration of the device. Ironically, he doesn’t seem to appreciate what he’s accomplished and calls it an “artifact”. That video was posted publicly at YouTube on Jan. 4, 2008.

After the operator gives it a kick start, and gets the secondary counter-rotating magnet in sync, the motor accelerates to 1700 rpm, while the secondary magnet spins at 4200 rpm. When the operator manually stalls two of the three secondary magnets, the assembly accelerates further (secondary goes to around 5,000 rpm, as measured by an optical tachometer). This would seem to imply that once the device is rotating, continued rotation of multiple secondaries may actually interfere with its operation.

“It spins, we don’t know why.” — Nikolabackwards (Jan. 6, 2008) [2]

“This is not a final product; it’s only a bit odd ‘anomaly’ observed when trying different designs during construction.” — Yirkha, who posted the video, Jan. 4, 2008.

Very promising technology that could be refined perhaps so that multiple units connect to provide enough force to drive engines and motors in a variety of devices. – TC
