This would be great if it is really true:

Magic???

I'm a firm believer in W.C. Field's comment, "Never give a sucker an even break." so I'm leery. Seems to fly in the face of what I've been taught about thermodynamics and all those silly laws of motion, etc.

Anybody else think this is on the up-'n-up or is it just another case of smoke and mirrors?

It's the day after my post and I thought I'd better explain something: It appears as though this is a 'new thread' -- what happened is, I picked up this link from the same page as the F&P motorcycle wheel thingy was on. It looks great, but looks can be deceiving, eh?

I would bet that the demo in Macgyver's link has a hidden source of compressed air to move the disc

I did a quick small assembly of this and it seems to work... (works for few secs before it comes to a halt).

I am thinking it might be due to a combo of gravity, magnetic pull and the weight of the magnet/disc keep it spinning.
