All the Fruit Bowl videos had the magnet+ball bearing (Pinball) span by hand
first and then the gate placed over the top.

My conclusion as stated elsewhere is that I think it is a nice low friction
bearing.

I showed on the first few videos that it eventually stopped and the 4th was cut
short, because I was bored of filming to prove to sceptics that I was not using
a airline etc etc.

I think my track record will show anyone out there that I am not in this OU
search for playing foolish pranks and trying to con people. I just want to prove
if people claims work or do not by building.
The day I see a self runner, then you will see fireworks and info put out
everywhere. But till then I will show it as it is.

The Hamel/Bedini spinner does have something strange about it as anyone who has
tried a static setup will tell you, as indeed it does come to a halt but it
seems to blip and accelerate at certain points if you watch it close enough.

This little experiment is easy for anyone to try, so rather than be a sofa
experimenter. Go splash out very litle money and have a go.

1 Ring magnet
1 Pinball
12/13 magnets taped around a piece of PVC drainpipe.

Then vary the height for the static setup and spin it up.

Back to the not so in-expensive replication projects this end LOL

Cheers

Sean.
