  • When I saw the thumbnail that said it spins forever I said "No it doesn't, mine stopped a while ago" Halfway through the video when he talks about friction I thought that's probably the problem as mine has a large air bubble on top. however, as soon as he mentioned how it uses the Earth's magnetic field. I looked and noticed I had a magnetic desk toy from the Vsauce Curiosity box sitting in front of it. As soon as I took that away It started moving again.

    • had the same thought, as mine has stopped. No magnets nearby, but the air bubble has grown since purchase.

    • Seriously, you put a magnet near such a sensible instrument, that runs on microcurrents, and didn´t think of any incoming-trouble while you did that ??????? Didn´t you know, for example, that your car´s modern spark-plugs are made so, that the mere vicinity to a cellphone cannot disturb their function anymore ??? (which was the case with older spark-plugs, till the first cellphone-owning-drivers started having engine-ignition-break-downs... )

  • What nostalgia. In 1983 I made a similar mag-torque perpetual motion machine back at Lawrence Tech. The circuit board was open to view, no batteries, no solar cells. The board balanced on a needle point, long arms extended the coils and lowered the center of gravity to below the point of support to balance it. Took a while before someone figured out that those long arms were a dipole antenna and it was running on power it picked up from WXYZ, a large radio station with a transmitter and antenna tower across the street from the university.

    • @@joewashington9374f you are not joking, you really should consider reevaluating your life choices rather than being a fool on the internet. If this is in fact the case I would love to see an explanation of the seasons, or how the Earth somehow remains unaffected by any sort of gravitational effect of other planets. How can it be that for one part of the yeah it is summer in the south and winter in the north(of the world, above the equator). Or if it doesn’t move at all(no spin) how it can be nighttime on one side of the planet and not the other. But the main question, if the Earth is flat, where is the edge? If I sailed far enough could I fall off? Where is the cut off? Please do remember your size relative to the Earth, and don’t try to use that as an argument I don’t want to see any “Why don’t we feel the Earth moving” or “why can’t I see the curvature” as you are obviously a tiny spec relative to the size of the planet and are also spinning/moving along with the planet so feel no motion relative to the Earth.

  • I can't remember what they are called but the solar cells used in tiny small current devices like calculators have a quirk where they are super efficient at low light low power settings but basically have a hard limit where more light doesn't increase the output voltage much at all. I forget the details but I think their internal resistance basically increases with more light. At a guess I'd think it would be something like that limiting the power.

  • The problem with the Mova globes is they tend to get a bubble of air in them, and the spinning stops. Mine happened after about two years. You can research this issue, and some people came up with a solution to add more fluid and got theirs working again. It needs a small hole drilled in the top, add fluid with a syringe, and then somehow glue the hole closed. But pretty expensive for an item that may only last a couple years.

    • It actually makes a lot of sense. Think about water and olive oil. Water is more dense than oil, that's because water molecules are much smaller than triglycerides, so you can pack more of them in the same space (Type of intermolecular bond also plays a role). Olive oil is more viscous than water, that's because the longer molecules of the fatty acids entangle with each other forcing you to apply greater force in order to move them. Hope that helps :)

    • ​@@denzelcrocker992 Actually ​I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux,” and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

  • I love it when someone finds a way to create something that taps into natural energy source that exists all around us, in a very efficient way. Obviously it cant put out more energy than comes in, but finding efficient ways to interact with our surroundings is so cool. Like that light bulb 💡 with the black & reflective spinning thing inside the bulb. Or, the bird that continues to dip into water due to it containing a liquid with a low boiling point heat transfer loop. Stuff like that is just really facinating to me because it takes creative ways to interact with natural forces that exist around us.

    • @Kelly Harbeson yeah, I know, but it would look nice as a background, where after a few hours you would see a different part of the globe. The only problem would be that there would be some parts that you would never see because it would be night (although in those cases I don't know if the globe could still rotate without access to light)

    • ​@@youravghuman5231it would be cloudy, but it wouldn't say. There's no reason to believe it would sink. We couldn't find a fluid for the bottom portion that's the denser than the milk and the top portion that's similar density. And in fact, for the milk we could probably add a little bit of something to bind it to stay as a kind of cloud. Or even find some extremely light effectively solid flat things to float in there as clouds.

  • 3:02 : technically, this sentence is wrong: you can spin the motor without any anchorage: in this case, both the stator and the rotor will spin, but at opposite wises and with each speed inversely proportional to each mass. So here, with an heavy mass on the shaft, the globe will spin even without any Hearth magnetic field.

    @StringfellowHawke197@StringfellowHawke19711 ай бұрын

    • A buoyancy nearing would not be practical. It needs too much heavy liquid; heavy liquids can be dangerous (mercury, lead salts in solution); the viscous drag could easily exceed the friction of a roller bearing. A magnetic bearing is a better start.
