Ok, I'll stay on topic.

or maybe you should just close this thread...

I dont want to start a new thread on this but if anyone is interested here is a movie clip of something I just constucted. Its not overunity but has a lot of good potential as an efficient motor device that can possibly drive a propeller.  This is just the beginning---  Tom

Is that an old crt degaussing coil around a dinner plate?

 You are correct.  A 12 inch diameter (80 ohm) degausing coil is connected to a square wave generator. A dinnerplate is centered in the coil.  I have had the most fun with this simple setup in years.  Many magnet combinatons can be tried on the plate by adjusting the frequency of the generator.  Some magnets will spin - others wont. Very little output from the generator is required.

I was wondering what size the CRT was to have a 12" coil?

I have no idea what size they normally are, but this seems quite large to me.

That coil of his pre-dates modern color televisions. Back in the 'old days' we had to manually degauss the crt's every time the television was moved around the house or if a strong magnetic field was near the crt (like a vacuum cleaner motor).

You held the coil in front of the crt and waved it around like some sort of magic ritual.
It sure looked pretty with all the colors interweaving with each other...

Thanks for the info, could be interesting to see it action on a CRT, if you still have one that is...

you could make one- or take one out of a newer crt monitor. Its a loop of wire around the face of the crt (inside the cabinet).

I've posted a synopsis page here:

I was first made aware of this yesterday.

I watched that story unfold in amazement. The coil is a good idea and used in toys. I was most amazed at the amount of people latching onto it as a real free energy device even though the author showed the real workings. When the capacitor was revealed I understood it as an energy storage device. I'm sure the author assumed most would see it that way.

Nowhere did I understand it was a hoax. The author offered it more as a lesson, to the chagrin of many.

His other videos seem to be good lessons. Many of the folks visiting these OU sites would benefit from watching them.

Thanks for posting that.  I already knew it was a hoax but, I'll bet there are still folks out there watching his original videos and wasting time trying to replicate his device.  It is very good to get the word out.  Good work.

I wouldn't refer to it as "wasting time". His device works, just it's not perpetual motion. Some of the concepts from it seem like they could be used in a real magnet motor.

Not really.  A hoax is a hoax for a reason.
