Here's an MPMM-like magnet motor, but even more simple.

On March 30, 2008, Mike x (username: evyllinc) posted a video to YouTube showing a CD with magnets attached on its surface, spinning with just one rotating stator magnet to keep it going. This is an all-magnet motor, with no electrical input. He's presently working on repeating the effect, with some improvements for greater stability.

He will be posting a description of his parts and assembly soon.

yeah there's nothing to see there yet, but here's hoping more of interest is to come

Hmm.... An early April Fool?

Needs to show the device stopped and it running longer, like for 10 mins..

Man-o-man here we go again....Why is it that every time we get a video that claims to rotor on magnets only, the video is always 3 seconds long, shaky, blurry and no real "how to"?

But as always I have hope and will give this guy the benefit of the doubt.....but just once

CD disc has some horizontal plane luff. Should be related to gravity.

Exactly! Posted 30-Mar so that everyone sees it 1-Apr. Probably depends on timezone also - it could have been posted on 1-Apr.

There's 31 days in March....

Does the stator magnet look like a bar magnet to anyone else?  It's hard to tell from the video.

Any updates on this?  I'd love to see a few detailed picturs of the magnet placement on the CD, (maybe a simple sketched diagram of how you have it put together?)

I`d love to be proved wrong, but I still think this was an April Fools Joke,,,

You know well that a spinning CD does not spin for 10 minutes - maybe in total vacuum with no gravity

A CD will spin for ages if it has a motor spinning it around...

Ok... so I'm guessing this "Mike x's CD Magnet Motor" was just another attention getting hoax.....

23 days and counting with no updates.....

back to the drawing board.....

Mike.... if your out there... how bout torturing us a bit more with a post telling us that your still "working on it"... lol....


...wow... i cant believe i even wasted the energy to post a reply (the bitterness of being hoaxed by another fraud is starting to show)....

Looks more like Mike x's friction motor! The edge of the CD is just TOO close to the stator!
