But I fear the magnets will lose their strength over time, oui?
A charming device - but if manufactured for use in marketplace consumables how much energy is needed to "charge" gazillions of magnets to operate these "motors"? I imagine it would be interesting to see how many units or how large the device would need to be to provide sufficient torque for driving everyday tools and vehicles etc. Perhaps in tandem with state-of-the-art solar batteries or whatever, such a thing is another promising "green" idea for the future.

I don't believe it.

I also don't believe in quantum mechanics (3 D's in undergrad)

And I think England is a conspiracy of cartographers.

I think it's fake. Probably has a battery operated motor in it.

Once when stopped by the police for messing around on the streets we said we were doing studies in perpetual motion as an excuse and they actually bought it. HAHA
