I believe all of the standard causes of a fake system were thrown at it: Mr. Hand Hidden batteries and a reed switch Motor driven fishing line Off screen air compressor motor with magnets under the table etc. etc. etc. It was comical. As for reasons for it to work....there were a couple of thoughts but they were quickly ground into dust.

Yes.

I believe all of the standard causes of a fake system were thrown at it:

Off screen air compressor

It was comical.

There is a distinct air release sound when the rear of the caddy for the magnet is lifted up (0:53?)...coinciding exactly with the raising of the rear of it, and stopping when put back level. I surmise the magnet engages a pin valve or the caddy does, and when lifted up, instead of a trickle, we heard the flood.

I actually think the compressed air sound is only a distraction and the wheel is turned by
the action of a slowly rotated wheel with strong magnets on it located under the bench.

If it was the compressed air though, the plates that connect the two halves of the wheel
are flat and would give good resistance to a stream of air.

It doesn't really matter though there are hundreds of ways it could be done.

The veproject1 you tube channel seems to have taken down the numerous other fake
perpetual motion machine video's they did have up before.

They say it is for education. I think they confuse more you tube viewers than they educate.
