To be fair, if someone was going to make a perpetual motion machine out of magnets and scrap, it would be these guys.

First I thought "what a bullshit, this is impossible". Then I checked the comments and I realized its the first of April. Good joke. You got me.

Garage 54: "What the heck, we invent free energy and everyone thinks it's an April Fools joke. Oh well, throw it in the dumpster."

I did this and variations of this back in the eighties, even went very far down the route of patenting the whole idea back in '99 but didn't follow through. I hit on making an engine when working for an avionics company called Muirhead Vestric, I actually used the insanely powerful magnets from a Harrier aircraft system motor and some very strong stainless steel rodding to make con rods and crankshaft and high expense jewelled bearings again from the trusty Harrier stuff. My patent covered also X and Y shaped configurations which could be modular bolted together to make multiples and used to replace petrol engines size for size. Had different concepts of air and magnetic bearings on the crankshaft preferring magnetic bearings for low friction and general air cooling with heat exchangers for anything that got very hot but my prototype ran perfectly for as long as one wanted, virtually no friction and just continual power motion.

Absolute Perfect "April Fools" - I Love it .. Big Thumb up for your Work.

Another starter motor being tortured 😂

I'd use this engine to power a generator. A few upgrades and you could probably run a entire house off it.

I love that you guys put so much effort into even a joke. But to be fair it this engine would be a really cool mancave piece.

Something revolutionary + magnets + Garage54 = Aprils Fools

i almost forgot the date. you guys!!!!

That was a prank well told. You really sold it to me with the magnet adjustment. Thanks for that laugh!

So glad i didnt check the comments before it ended, i was fooled. I was thinking of all the potential to balance all the spinning parts. Ugh man you got me so good. So good.

Good one! 😂 Try making a solenoid engine next, they do actually work!

I would have believed you if you hadn't done it last year! 😂

Definitely one of the better April fools jokes I seen today made me laugh good job Garage 54

You had me imagining all different improvements that could be done like trying it with a Commer Knocker engine layout, well done

biggest trick is that all this is real and is powered by Leprechauns

Congratulations. You have achieved truly clean energy. I propose that you install this engine in a relatively medium-sized boat, because I believe that the propeller will have less resistance than an automotive transmission and you can regulate the forward control using a clutch so as not to have to stop the eternal movement of this wonderful ecological engine. Anyway, you have already made a dream come true and I congratulate you, thank you for sharing your adventures. Blessings to all!

It was still really cool to watch you guys build it👍

Very well done ! ☺ Your tone and acting was perfect and really convincing. Nice contraption too.

I'm amazed by the fact that you didnt even make a simple cover for the "camshaft" and had so much faith in your weldind while passing by the cars parked 🤣🤣🤣

April fools day damn🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wrap the cylinders in coils, wire them 12v parallel and set up a switch to reverse the polarity to stop it.

Use electro magnetics add a coil to each magnet

Every year your april fools videos get better and better lol

You're calling for electricoboom territory lol

magnetic engine can work continiously and charge a battery unit. Then Car can go with battery powered electric engines.

The thing is, a machine somewhat like this can actually work. There are certain criteria that need to be met to make it work, and even more specification to make it work well. Perpetual energy machines do indeed work. You just have to be careful.... Never put it out to the public. Certain enemies are always watching.

The hardest part of making a prepetual motion machine is hiding the batteries.

Checks the date... Oh no.

I always wondered if this idea could work. Wonder if you could use electric magnets in a head and a distributor to "ignite" them. Maybe use a magneto to power it somehow. It's not really free energy but doesn't use gas.

Now this is good stuff so much fun out of the effort put into this project kudos to you guys.

I'm NOT falling for THAT again!!

For a non-april fools version, have electromagnets on top and permanent magnets on the pistons

That was an absolutely well played prank. Very good lads. Very good. I seem to recall another thing done with magnets a couple of years back. If I recall it was a large magnet being held in front of the vehicle, which would make it move forward. The moment I started this video it reminded me of the older one. They go out of their way for a good April fools day gag for sure.

This crazy dude puts alot of effort into this .

If a magnet motor was able to be made in this fashion, Garage 54 would be able to do it im pretty sure. ❤ Happy April 1st

Oh my god I fucking love this. They say electric has the most torque, but it seems magnetic is the true way to go

These guys must have had fun doing this! Awesome job fellas!

I had a similar thought for small generation of electrical generators.cool you guys are having fun thanks .

I wonder if it would be possible with electro magnets? You wouldn't needs to have the magnets spinning when you're alternating the polarity electronically, and there would be a way to accelerate and decelerate the engine speed by adding/subtracting current.

Add copper around the cylinders to make electricity at the same time.

I designed a magnet motor that used shielding that moved across the top magnets instead of spinning the tops, actually worked but on an extremely small scale with only one cylinder, never got around to making a full size 4 cylinder,

Double up the magnets for more power

Hello I would like to know can this magnetic engine work as a generator 🤔🤔🤔🤔 to provide electric ????

Allready knew what this was gunna be even before clicking on video lol

Thank you for that disclaimer at the end. You saved me a brutal take down of this "perpetual motion".

I love this channel I’m always amazed with what you guys build

Make electromagnet system works and powerful.With ignition coil.

Waiiiiit a minute. Haven't watched all the way through yet. It's april fools day. Damnit. I feel like I'm gonna get fooled.

after couple of years, you guyz earn a sub for real. been watching ur videos since the old garage u had XD epic engineering - thank you so much for bringing this knowledge to us:):) keep it going garage 54 u guys are awesome.

CONGRATULATIONS !!! Great Work

Never a dull moment 😅

I wonder how many people fell for this... Sadly, i'm sure there's a lot....

Always wanted to try this

I kind of think it would work but it really works as I continue watching.You have a very smart clever mind.Good work and I'm waiting for for the completion of your fun but mind blowing project.

Nice to know the Russians have April Fools as well as us in the west.

Love these guys and their antics

Love these guys and the stuff they come up with. It’s like mythbusters but for cars and a fraction of the budget but still very entertaining to watch

V12 MAGNETIC WITH ALUMINUM AXLES, IT WOULD BE VERY AMAZING

I saw your previous April Fools vid about this -.- I know what's up. I am glad you upgraded this beast! It aint hard to hide the battery when you are the folks making the Vid! I'm glad you made the same 'upgraded' engine as the last vid I saw from a Year or Two ago- I'd have been fooled if I hadn't seen that within the last few Days! I love this channel, you guys do some epic work. You've been silencing so many intrusive thoughts :P Did you guys use another starter motor to drive the thing? that alone was pretty dang impressive in the last one.

This is unbelievable !

Thats awesome, love your sense of humor. 😂😂😂

I wasnt expecting the torque, nice one!!

only question i have is why not neutral and then brake? what would cause the wheels to spin in neutral with foot on clutch pedal?

I really Love This Channel and These Guys 😂

These guys are incredible. The video I was searching is this

I always wanted to put some iron rods on top of the piston that stuck up into a head wound with coils that are energized by the ignition or spark plug wire & used that to run the engine, varying the timing to control speed.

That's a commendable effort for an April fools joke! 😉😂

I thought this was gonna be one of those real electric cylinder motors but then I realized it was an April fools prank

I've been searching for something like this out of curiosity and now I so happened to stumble across this video. Yay

Good one you made me watch it and think about it before a second 😂😂😂

This is pretty much one of the better ways to build a demonstration motor to show kids etc, except one set of magnets has to be electromagnets so you can turn them on and off at the appropriate times. Putting a small electric motor on the crank shaft is of course the other way to do it but there is something cool about seeing the “pistons” actually pushing and the kids can fiddle with the timing etc.

Designing a magnetic engine involves creating a system that utilizes magnetic fields to produce mechanical work. Here's a simplified outline of how you could design one: Understanding Magnetic Fields: Before designing a magnetic engine, it's crucial to have a solid understanding of magnetic fields and their properties. This includes knowledge of electromagnetism and how magnetic fields interact with one another. Choose Magnetic Materials: Select appropriate magnetic materials for your engine, such as neodymium magnets or electromagnets. Consider factors like magnetic strength, durability, and cost. Design the Engine Components: Stator: This stationary part of the engine contains the magnets or electromagnets that generate the magnetic field. Rotor: The rotor is the moving part of the engine that interacts with the magnetic field to produce mechanical work. It may contain magnets or be induced to create its own magnetic field. Arrange Magnets: Place magnets on the stator and rotor in a configuration that maximizes the interaction between magnetic fields. This may involve alternating the polarity of magnets or arranging them in a specific pattern. Control System: Develop a control system to regulate the magnetic field strength and direction, as well as the movement of the rotor. This could involve electronic circuits and sensors to detect the position and speed of the rotor. Mechanical Components: Integrate mechanical components such as shafts, bearings, and gears to transmit the rotational motion produced by the engine to useful work, such as driving a generator or a vehicle. Testing and Optimization: Test the engine prototype to evaluate its performance, efficiency, and reliability. Make adjustments and optimizations as necessary to improve its operation. Safety Considerations: Ensure that the design incorporates safety features to prevent accidents or damage from the strong magnetic fields generated by the engine. Efficiency Improvement: Continuously refine the design to enhance efficiency, reduce energy losses, and optimize the performance of the magnetic engine. Environmental Impact: Consider the environmental impact of the engine's materials, operation, and disposal. Aim to minimize any negative effects and explore options for using renewable energy sources to power the engine.

I was waiting for the end of the video, and for you to come clean :)))

I love your channel but free energy is just a dream 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤

This actually works when built correctly

This is a revolutionary idea, no more pollution or fossil fuels running out

This channel never ceases to crack me up.

I was thinking of using magnetism in design of frictionless machines. Like a REVERSE magnetic block with magnetic pistons that REPEL and float in the cylinder. In theory it seems it may spin too fast and decelerate too slow needing some type of regulation.

Yup, nice one. I'm watchin this thinkin' no f'ing way......ya got me.😂❤

Ok ok now I want to see it on a DYNO how much toques it’s gots Happy new year 🥳

And red Mercury as gasoline with electric current 😅❤

This is awesome!! I like the way how people inventing new stuff and work like the things we allready know. Make it bigger, stronger and proof that your invention works. Keep on inventing guys... love it!! Use Teflon for the body and Carbon fibers for rods and that sort of things.

Almost fell for that. Best April fool ever 👍👍🤣

This could be adapted by a large firm quite easily. Well done guys this was great

Those people that think it's April's fool joke...I guess you don't have the knowledge of the maglev train

Nice work. Building a similar engine for the old Ford but with 8 cylinders!

Nice bro, you can directly of magnet, use more powerfull magnet, add more set ex : 8 set, than you can add coil in every outside silinder for induction that can power on your lamp.

Best day of the year video.

They already stole your idea, in Pakistan there is a scooter that runs 30 mph with an image engine.

These guys are my new favorite to watch

Very well-done and I'm hoping to watch in full, later in a WARM kitchen - great work!---🤩😀

Perhaps you could overcome the same push pull physics with a spring on one side of the piston and another rotating cover that releases the attraction effect of the top magnet in time to let the piston release back down

You should try making the pistons into electromagnets, if you can control the input voltage with a throttle pedal then surely it would rev aswell as the magnetic field increases?

Haha. That was great. I used to try to make a perpetual motion machine with magnets.

You got me. I realized it in 6:00😂 Very clever 😂👍👍👍

Biggest issue with this is the lack of return springs

Very good job. On the bench test the battery pack under the motor is quite evident, but on the car test it's very well conceiled. And cannot tell were the electric motor is hidden. I suppose threre is and adittional belt attached to the cranckshaft on the gears side.

I totally fell for the whole gag!🤣🤣🤣
