screw magnetic motor DIY: How to Build a $1 Magnetic Motor With Some ScrewsOf all the subjects in the alternative energy world, I liked the “Free Energy” part best. It’s not that I’m an absurd non-science, self-proclaimed geek, but I like to give a chance to new ideas of changing the world, and I still strongly believe we’re not being told everything.

Following this thought, magnets have always fascinated me (like I think they did to any science interested human), and I always had the sensation there’s more to them than just their capacity of simply attracting or repelling an object. I remember once (I was about 8 years old) I struggled an entire day trying to understand why if I put one magnet on a small toy car this would only move only if I kept the other in my hand. The explanation came a few years later, when I rethought it.


What you are going to see in this video is nothing you don’t know. In fact, I urge any weird-science reader to try and make the device from the video below, respecting the pictured details. I’ll make it myself from a hard drive plate and a used scotch tape support. Let’s see how much time it works, and if it can be improved.

Magnetic energy isn’t really “free energy”, nor it harnesses zero-point energy, because magnets themselves are losing their magnetic ability over time, but that time is a very, very, very long one (someone said four hundred years). So, it doesn’t cost usĀ  much to first test, and make theories after! I know some will say “it’s stupid, my high physics knowledge doesn’t let me try this thing”. When it comes to you to say that, think that you’re only limiting yourself from touching and convincing yourself one way or the other of the theory. Just don’t let it pass by you without a trial.

The magnetic motor video below is pretty amazing.

  1. where is the ree energy motor vid?

  2. Great going, at least you got it to work. There is another motor similar to this on internet except the magnets are on the inside of the can. All magnets lined up and staggered on the can and on the rotor. I never could get it to work, other interests and you DO have to have the alignment off set perfectly.
    Have you thought about installing magnets in place of the screws with the poles reversed?
    Should be able to get some torque like that.

  3. it is working now what would be the way that the inertia of the cup be increased and the size of the magnets be also increased so that a belt can be attached to the generator and free energy could be gotten out as a result

  4. Now imagine something like this only much larger… a tube about 3-4 feet long, 4-10″ in diameter with MUCH stronger magnets on both sides. The point when he moved the magnets closer and farther, imagine that being controlled by the “accelerator” or “gas pedal” to increase or decrease speed. Also make sure towards the front is a pulley to turn the alternator to make sure the electronics have 12V power. Magnetic car motor, transmission and transfer case optional but suggested, especially for AWD/4WD vehicles. At least to start it it may be easier to start with a front wheel drive car for testing.
    Remember that repelling weakens magnets where as attraction strengthens magnets until their limit. You may get 10-20 years from a “repelling” motor versus 100+ years from an “attracting” motor.

  5. This works very well for such a crude design.VERY WELL DONE. Now just think if u make this 4 times bigger put a small generator on it the energy taken can drive a small electric engine therefor help keep the motor going over the point when it wants to stop. Just thinking.

  6. I tried your concept. It doesn’t seem to work. Do you have more details on how to build it? I may have done something wrong. Thanks

  7. You’ve been Rick-rolled.. but with screws and sticky tape….

  8. Why bother with actually driving the car with this device, if it takes up lots more space and more years to develop? This just needs to be strong enough to actually charge the batteries of your electrically powered car, and you never need to plug it into the wall socket again.

    Revolution is happening right here! Good job!
