Free energy is when one plugs into the mains while bypassing the meter.

Placed the fan on the floor with the wires underneath the plastic case. Odds are that the fan and the bulb had a supply from a wire through a hole in the carpet. (Which there are a lot of)

Poking around YT for ideas on DIY electricity and light projects/experiments and you gave me an idea for something with this. You just earned a new subscriber. I'd never heard of reed switches till now.

This was an excellent tutorial on how the purveyors of free energy make such convincing videos. your system,(reed switch and battery)looked exactly like the videos meant to "perpetuate"" the belief in over unity, or perpetual motion. This was an excellent video to debunk those free energy devices. there is only one "free energy" magnet generator, and that's a wind turbine. If you want free energy without moving parts, find a good deal on a photovoltaic panel. Sunlight, and wind are "free".

1:47 "look at that...tasty little 6 volt power supply" That's the best. Had me rolling. Nice job mate.

I need to tell all of you i have been getting free energy non-stop for almost 8 monthes now.I plugged an extention cord in my neighbours back yard wall electrical outlet when he wasnt looking.he still hasnt found it.FREE ENERGY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i got solar panels.. the sun dont cost me a dime.. free energy !!!

Very clever at the end :P did anyone notice how Andy never lifted the fan body off the carpet? clearly those two wires from the light bulb are going under the fan, through a hole in the carpet to a power supply thats out of shot ... and the fan was powered by a separate one :) Nice video Andy, its funny how many people fell for it right? :)

Free cheese, happens only in a mousetrap.

Good job exposing this ruse.

Love the people commenting before getting to the other half of the video

it seems a lot of people commenting in here didn't get the purpose of this video. it's supposed to "expose" the fact that the other videos related to this are all fake and he exposes them, citing how they did it, where they put the hidden power source, and where they hid the magnetically controlled switch, geez people, watch the video first before making any unnecessary comments

I love his work for he questions and challenges the simplest things that most take granted. His comprehension of the laws of science as a whole is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Woow.. free power! And it even works when not spinning!

"We don't do bullshit on this channel" *Leaves the video with a fan powered by magnets lighting up a bulb without explaining it*

I figured this one out a long time ago. Nice to see that channels like this one and my own, do not post fake videos.

i have free energy from my neighbour ;)

If that was free energy. We could harvest it and make portals.

It's so easy to fool people on the tube ,thanks for sharing the hidden secret ,no tellin how many people tried to make a free energy machine with the other videos on here ,Thumbs up to you man

Thanks mate. I knew it was a con. It was the reed switch I didn't figure out before....so simple when you know the trick. Naturally, I subbed...

I find it depressing that so many people don't learn from history: This quest for free energy is ancient; previously it was (unsuccessful) attempts to build mechanical perpetuum mobiles, nowadays it is unsuccessful attempts to have computer fans spin without adding energy. Basic physics tells us that the endeavor is bound to fail and even if continuous motion were archived for a long period, there would be no energy available to do any work, i.e. NO 'free energy'.

thanks for clearing that up for everyone... just once tho i wish something on youtube wasnt fake

I appreciate your effort to expose this kind of fraud - Thanks for making this video.👍

lol, I love the light still on after you stop the fan...

Let me guess for the last trick. The light bulb has the batteries hidden under the metal bulb socket. The red and black wires are shorted on the other end so connecting them to the bulb terminals completes the loop and let's the bulb power itself. The fan unit has a battery hidden inside so when it is placed on the exposed motor it powers itself too. Not sure how the power on that battery is connected through though.

It's really scary how little understanding of basic laws of physics some people have. we really need to focus on STEM education in schools.

Thumbs up! This video debunks the many videos (e.g. Wasaby) claiming that a wheel can be rotated by permanent magnets. Which isn't possible at all. In reality this is done like shown here with a hidden battery and a reed switch. And it shows an even smarter magician trick in the end.

brilliantly exposed. doing good work, sir!

Don't believe everything you see on TV or KZfaq :)

very entertaining and informative at the same time bravo.

To generate electricity you need to spin the fan really fast (the same principle with wind turbines). You can try blowing air at the fan as hard as you can and check your voltmeter, I got a reading of round 1V+. The fan generate more volts if you spin it in the opposite rotation as to its regular powered on rotation. If you can get stronger magnets and align them properly you can probably make the fan spin significantly faster and generate more voltage.

Nice one man thanks for revealing the secret! Appreciate it!

Didn't your missus complain about the holes in the carpet where you put the wires through?

I tried this with a bigger fan and now successfully power the village I live in, including street lighting and houses, charging everyone a princely sum of three potatoes and a medium sliced loaf of bread per week. The food feeds my herd of Unicorns. Yes, Unicorns love medium white sliced bread, obviously.

There's some quote about perpetual motion machines, something to do with the more complex they make them, the harder it is to hide the hidden power source

mate, seen a few of your gigs now and I must say..... 'you are the very knickers of the vicars' and also the knees of the bee's.....so keep knocking em out pal!!

cool trick, thanks for exposing it.

man there should be more people like you on the web. Thanks Young man, tom's up well done

probably using a wireless power coil under the rug or a very tiny high voltage battery under the fan

Never thought I'd see a video of Andy explaining basic thermodynamics.. I'm afraid next week, he'll pop the universe...

Very interesting. But... if you connected those 2 wires to Hillary Clinton, would she breath fire like Godzilla?

Thanks for making this video! I just watched a video showing this bullshit, and determined the same result as yourself.

With the laws of thermodynamics you can never go wrong!

This was on my recommendations and I thought photonicduction made a new video

hilarious, i feel so bad for anyone that thinks "free" energy is even possible, anyone that thinks so has never taken a class on electricity or physics.

AWESOME! fan with batteries!

You just need to put small round steal plates on the fan blades mate, for the magnetic field to spin the fan !

Thanks for taking the trouble mate!

there is free energy.....i never got an electricity bill for years....lol...

Technically perpetual motion is possible. If you like put a wheel in space and spin it then it won't stop spinning unless something stops It. However if you try to power something with it the friction will cause it to stop

Nice debunking video! You really scared me when you set that computer fan going, until I kept watching to see the trickery.

thanks for clarifying this. great demonstration

Did any of you notice at the end the light was still on when he stopped and removed the fan... lol

permanent magnet motors do exist... they are "free" in a way.. but the magnets and build costs are too high for any system to provide enough power.

Thank you. I don't understand why people would try to convince people that this actually works.

The copper wire coils in the middle create a minute magnetic field Which is then increased by the initial push then the field gets to the point where it starts pulling or pushing away from or towards the magnet and this causes the fan to rotate

this is a nice way to get views on youtube

Maybe I missed it but on the final part where you expose the use of batteries, you then move on to using 4 magnets that make the fan spin and even with the fan off, the light is still on. Is that real or fake? Does having four magnets around the fan create low voltage energy or is there a battery on the other side of the fan we can't see?

You broke the law of conservation of energy , just wait for a nobel prize !!!

The real magic, you know science and physics state that magnetism shuts out, but if you place this on a pole turned by wind or earths magnetic field that the light breeze movements are enough to keep rotation from shutout, there will be different bursts of speed and power, someday we can charge a car battery using such physics hacks.

***** Forces are not the same as energy.

Magnets have a finite life just like batteries. You might as well hook up a battery. :/

Stuck magnets to my hub caps and now have endless energy.

whatever people say,you're ahead of time mate ! well done

For all of you that are watching this because you believe 'free energy' is possible...stop! It's embarrassing. Go read a physics book instead. Then figure out a way to make energy more efficient. That would be far more productive.

you can make a fan spin without power if you got magnets on the blades and one magnet that pushes the fan make sure it is on right position... not sure if it will make power tho but i have done it

Nicely done sir.

Just as many people have pointed out, electrons spin around the nucleus of an atom indefinitely without additional energy and in a perfect vacuum light will travel at a constant speed forever. There are principles out there that are undiscovered which may allow us to harness as yet unknown energy sources. It's not that the energy is being created out of thin air, it's that energy is being converted to a usable form from a previously unknown source by a previously unknown process.

There is no such thing as free Energy because of the laws of conservation of energy. what is happening here is easily explained using the laws of electricity and magnetism. as the loops of wire in the middle of the fan rotate through the magnetic field from those magnets, their change in position creates a gradient in the flux through them resulting in a very small current being generated in the spools of wire, that current grows exponentially as they start moving faster and faster because current it self creates both magnetic and electric fields that interact with those magnets. these create torques that are turning the fan. Most small motors run this way, except they typically have current running through them from a power source rather than being generated from motion through a Mag. Field. you could never use this to generate power because of friction and electrical resistivity. notice that the fan speeds up but eventually reaches a steady speed, it can not keep accelerating due to friction, like wise if you tried to hook this up to a generator the resisting force in the generator would cancel out the force created by the magnets and you would get nothing... However, this is a free way to move air.

do people believe you can create the motor effect with no electric field? rite. pls learn physics hahahahahahahahhahahaahaha

the neodymium magnet is inducing a voltage across the coils that run the fan so you are powering the fan with the external magnets

There's a load of free energy available: solar, wind, tidal, geothermal (excluding the cost of infrastructure, which is a factor when exploiting any energy), but there is NO SUCH THING as perpetual motion. A stator comprised of permanent magnets will NOT cause the rotor to turn unless there is an alternating electric field in the rotor and vice versa.

haha, cunning bugger, had me scammed good.

1 291 peoples dislikes, 1 291 peoples want to belive

The Three Laws Of Thermodynamics: 1) You can't win 2) You can't even break even 3) You can't escape laws 1 and 2

That man can make UFOs

haha It's kind of stupid the way he did it! These actually do work, but you must position the magnets on each individual fan and then have another one that repels against all. This turns the blades forever and will create a power supply through the wires that he cut.

Once the fan is pushed into motion the force of mass in motion keeps it in rotation once initiated.

Thanks for the demonstration...

Mate I love your presenting style, you should get on the telly.

thank God you revealed it.

+Photonicinduction Another excellent video! How did you get the bulb to stay on? Was it that you took the base off and put in a capacitor or two wires coming up from under the carpet? Or did you have a Tesla type coil going near it? Anyway keep your vids coming!!!!!!!

There’s no such thing as a free lunch in physics

And with that you can also light a bulb or recharge cell phone battery using the power that the rotor is giving.

The Show must go on...................

Now try 51 eletcromagnets in a bowl and put the motor in the bowl! :)

I like your style. the way you explain. thumbs up

I think the reason it does not work is because it has a diode which current cannot be forced in reverse through the diode and it also has a motor control chip so you cannot reverse the flow

It does work, in fact you can easily test it yourself. Using a multimeter on the "free energy" motor you can easily read power is generated. The ammount of it is really low though, in no way enough to power a lightbulb.

I was about to go try the experiment myself.

The magnets on the out side were going against the magnetic poles on the fan motor, hence turning the fan.

I've tried this and it does work. However, magnets will lose it's magnetic charge eventually and have to be recharged. But if you use a samarium-cobalt magnet, it will take around 700 years to lose half of its strength.

Good job mate. keep it up. I'm looking forward for more videos. Thanks for the uploading.

The reason for this: energy cannot be destroyed or be created but can only be transferred from one energy type to another

The first law of thermodynamics is something that even the combined efforts of all the world's free energy kooks cannot overturn.

Sorry to say, but anybody who needed this video to know it doesn't work is a hopeless cause.

Free energy is putting a bunch of solar panels around a star, also known as a "Dyson Swarm"

Just had a wee browse through the comments didn't see this, The last one is done by 0.5mm (or similar) gauge copper wire connected to a power supply, not entirely sure of the current draw but I bet those wires are hot running that bulb.

Good one!!! Thx for busting those fraudsters and exposing them!

Just plug a MacBook into itself Or get a cat and strap buttered bread to its back
