It’s a motor made entirely from permanent magnets, Keith. That fan gave us several clues that it has enough speed and torque to make a hidden battery highly unlikely. Still, I’d like to have seen them move the table and the machine right up front to show conclusively that there’s no hidden power wires hiding in the table leg.

My concern is how long before it uses the energy stored in the atomic spin alignment that makes the magnets magnetic. He also seems to have eliminated the drive rotor without using the clamshell drive magnet arrangement of another YT magmotor that didn’t do a full walk around.

the power source is that rectangular block, 2x2x6″, seen at 7:40 during disassembly. looks like a stack of fuel cells, to me.

and the remainder of the device is a Minato magnet motor.

The YT vid of the Minato motor looks very similar to one I built last year from a lazy susan and a bunch of tiny N-42 magnets, but was trying to power mechanically instead of inductively. If the article I just read is accurate, Minato has an inductive motor running on 20% of the power that it should be. What am I missing here?
