I came across this video on YouTube and thought it worth posting here.



Video #1: Amazing Magnet Motor/Gen Rep. - YouTube

Video #2: Amazing Magnet MotorGen 2 / 2 - YouTube

My gut tells me this is a fake because the device is not on a glass table.

..also because the guy says don't try to replicate.

..therefore, that is a pretty good indicator that it's a fake.

What do you think?

Hi Vidbid,
Below is my translation of the first few pages. I'll try to do more the next couple of days. I hope I've accurately captured - had to insert some punctuation to run-on sentences. At least it will give people an idea of where this person is coming from. Corrections welcome.

The magnet motor by Rovella Tiziano is very interesting and working on YouTube. You will find it on the internet by typing in, “motore magnetico di Rovella.” The simplicity of construction borders on impossible, as you see. It seems like a spoof, but to the rigor of logic, it appears to be self-sustaining due to the reaction of the two electromagnets which take energy from the toroids and at the right moment, throw it back in synchronized fashion; the foul deed occurs when the magnetic toroid (for example, the right-hand toroid) energizes the right bobbin, which feeds the left bobbin, which at the proper moment enters into a reaction with the right magnetic toroid, and it is only this action which becomes effective because it enters into play with the force of the magnets – one permanent, one electric.

It is necessary, therefore that within the bobbin the reaction current is able to flow outward when the reed is on the right, looking at it from the running side, if it opens, and the right-side toroid approaches in front almost after having abandoned the bolt (5 degrees).

There is an instant of aperture/opening which is very short and occurs when the magnetic f.c. [field?] (the reed) finds itself close to the bolt at the moment when the induced tension has begun to diminish. Well then, if the induced tension is observed with an oscilloscope, you should notice a large voltage spike (sovratensione) with a vertical decline [which is] reciprocally occurring in the other left flux-generating bobbin in contraposition (pushed) – as you can see below:


DIAGRAM Here (Couldn't paste it in)

The reed is normally closed, apart from the magnet’s action. It seems to me to be something to replicate to amuse the great fathers of physics. I am asking them permission to replicate, along with a few details on the magnetite, or better stated, polarized toroidal ferrite, which is much heavier than the supermagnets and the merit of being circular, and with an ample bore of 10mm can trigger the simultaneous phenomenon of attraction and repulsion, and there is the effect of kinetic energy which enters into the dance. The nut under the bearing is there for the stated law governing the bore and forces in play, FLUXES AND CURRENTS.

The point of calibration is the moment of opening and closing of the excited magnetic relay at the minimum distance from the toroids (at about 3 degrees before and 3 degrees after remains ineffective (?interdetto)) is the point to determine to get the system to work. The 2 LEDs light up in the presence of induced tension on the bobbin, and this happens in a particular moment (when the right hand bobbin becomes excited by the magnets which are joined together by the opposing part of the magnetic “f.c.” (field?) beyond the right-hand bolt. The magnets’ flux is initiated to invest the head of the bolt, which being an inert element, attracts the toroid. But the variation in flux creates a tension in the bobbin in an almost rectangular alternating form which has its maximum value when the head of the bolt has the magnet overhead. The tension impulse finishes when the periphery of the toroid is beside the magnetic relay, but still holding 50-60% influence on the bobbin.

In the mean time, the left-hand bolt has a raised current, given by the right-hand bobbin, which is the impulse-generator. Rising thus, the head of the bolt magnetizes with the same polarity as that of the toroid and pushes it in a noticeable way toward the end. In as much as this is a magnetic reaction between 2 equal polarities, there is therefore a motive coupling which self-sustains with rising speed until it overcomes the friction and beyond.

To check the polarity of the coils need only do an experiment:
1. Excite the bolt head with a magnet placed on a N

2. Quickly remove the magnet from the bolt by pulling it upwards

happens.

This engine unlike the other models have a bivalent behavior: if

The ease with which it achieves the reversibility of both right and left, but always

This thing and very significant for our fraud and indicates that it can exist at

electromagnets and only fair versa pulsating current that flows in both the

The fact that more significance to this toy and the reversibility generated by

But in this function, which depends on the position of the reed, is played as the principle
of operation: and should be noted that the function more determining the acceleration and
the receiver coil that creates the same polarity of the ring ferrite

Looking at the Arrrows at 'Figure A', it looks more like, that one Diode is pointing to the negative from the other Diode, and then the reedswitch breaks the circuit, but no permanent connection between the 2 Coils.

Schematics posted in the PDFs don't agree with wiring observed in Motore magnetico di Rovella - YouTube video.

Puzzling

Hi folks, Hi vidbid, your diagram looks right, though not sure about led orientation.
I have a bunch of those ceramic ring magnets, look like same size I got from surplus store awhile back.
I wonder if the ring magnets are needed for the effect, I'll assume so for now.
I am going to have a look at this, though I fried all my larger reed switches awhile back and only have the radio s. small reeds.
Isn't this the kind of stuff konehead does, with shorting the coils at peak or some point.
One of Robert Adams motor/generators I think was able to self run once it was sped up to speed, so if this is genuine, then it correlates with what some others have claimed.
peace love light

Desertphile is some sort of naysaying freak. Nutcase.

While I thought at first this was fake I'd give it a second thought considering the effort put into the documentation here. BTW those ring magnets look exactly like ones I've gotten out of several Magnetrons form Microwave ovens.

Here is his second video showing how he did the "illusion". He shows the circuit diagram in detail. There are two AAA batteries used. One in each coil.

Actually this is a nice desktop toy. It is just a simple battery powered reed switch pulse motor but it is a very clever design. If I were to build one I would probably go smaller and maybe run it on a solar cell and a supercap.

Lidmotor

yeah, I guess that Min2oly youtube user was onto something a couple of days ago,
in the comment section:

"Batteries are in the coil, don't let the bolts fool you :-)"

this comment garnered 19 thumbs up votes until user Larskro sank the post.


anyway, I think this second vid is similar to what Romero was doing. He is claiming it is a fake, then he clearly shows a battery which is too large to fit in the coil to cause more speculation....

Patrick

I would say. Ok busted.

Even i agree with you minoly, that does not really match to show a Batterie what has the same size as the Coil, even when its possible, cut the Bolt, glue the Coil to the Plate, and glue another nut at the bottom. Its doable.
Even when he has some other neat Video, like the JT with the thick wire in it, what increase the inductance, also a rebuild from R. Ainslies circuit, where he had only 0.06 watt more Output as Input, not sure if he did add the heat at his calculation.
Can be, that hes now another Ghostbuster. He claims, there is no free Energy, only from Sun and Water. Uhm, ok.
Sounds like the challenge to the classical View thenis, that its only free Energy, when you tap it from a bigger System, creating more Energy from a System with lower Energy Circulation is not possible.

Ok then. I made a little rebuild from this too. about ~#28 Wire and powered it with a Power Supply.
I did need at last about 5.4V,0.60-1Ah DC to keep the Rotor spinning with a reedswitch.
It may works better with clean bearings and a smaller core, but that would be for me, what one Coil need to produce, to keep the Motor turning. At the same time you get Drag from the Bolts, what you may can reduce with smaller cores. When turning it by hand, it did produce something about 0.250V AC, but thats still a big Gap.
Probatly a Magnet at the other End from the Coil and we get a magnacoaster similar Toy. But then it will be a Project for more then one Day to build.
And just wonder, if this Italian Video been the same Guy or had the same 'trick'.

Patrick--
Perhaps my favorite "simple reed switch motor" was your little bug motor on that air table. That video that you and your son did with all of those bugs running around to the tune of "Flight of the bumble bee" was great. I was sorry that you pulled it down. I learned how to bias a reed switch with a small magnet from that video. That seems like such a long long time ago now. A couple of years I guess.

Lidmotor

Ok, what about the original Italian device ? I think connections were different and reed switch position and size also. Remember that this reed switch has to be normally close if I good read the documentation. Also there is uMetal belt around magnets , very strange indeed and both magnets seems to be unconnected magnetically except using this belt.

Credo di capire effetto

My observation of finer details of a reed switch. I have one setup using a small neo bar on a small rotor with 2 reed switches and each switch alternates two 6 volt bulbs. The switches are about 180 degrees apart. Ive noticed at times both bulbs are on at the same time. Im thinking the higher rpms are not letting the reed switches to totally open or there is too much remanence in the contacts. Once the contact has risen to a certain point there must be a magnetic field collapse given rise to bemf through the switch. Diode? How much would this affect the circuit? I would think there would be a difference between a magnetic field of a permanent magnet and a coils magnetic field. The orientation of the field would seem to matter too in fine tuning. Should the field be parallel or perpendicular to the contact? Is one specific magnetic pole,n/s,a better orientation to the switch for the specific circuit involved? Should the magnetic field,n/s,be pointed at the very end of the contact or vice versus? I would think the weakest field possible to close the contact would cut down remanence or cems. It just seems the smaller physics of this stuff seems important. Just questions in my mind.
