The Infamous Magnet PC Fan Experiment: Uncovering the Truth Behind Free Energy

If you're like me and have a spare PC fan lying around, it's always a good idea to glue a neodymium magnet to each of its blades and use a more powerful magnet to repel them. This setup can supposedly produce an unlimited amount of free energy, sounds too good to be true, right? Well, let's dive into this infamous experiment and find out how much free energy we can actually produce.

We set up the magnet PC fan for this experiment, with one channel of our lab bench power supply powering a light bulb and another channel providing a voltage of 2.7V for the fan. This allows us to slowly spin the fan without raising too much suspicion, as it's impossible to accelerate the fan solely through magnetic repulsion due to the magnetic attraction occurring a fraction of a second later and basically counteracting the rotation.

To further test the fan, we soldered three different PC fans together with red LEDs and spun them. What we observed was that two LEDs stayed completely dark, while one LED lit up decently for a very short amount of time. The reason for this is due to the driver circuit of the fans being slightly different, making it impossible for them to be used as generators.

We also tested the Bedini motor, whose circuit schematic typically looks something like this. As a power source, it usually features a 12V battery that adds free energy and charges up a second battery or lights up neon bulbs. The mandatory components of this circuit are pretty common, but the two coils representing the motor stator section require some extra work.

To create these coils, we had to remove the label from a PC fan, unsolder four wires, and pull off the driver circuit out of the case. We then heated up the connector pins to remove the driver circuits and unsoldered the two coil wires from two connector pins. This left us with four wires sticking out from the stator, which we soldered to extension wires and secured in place with hot glue.

Now that we had our coils, we marked one pair and created a circuit, which due to its simplicity took only around 5 minutes. As a power source, we used our lab bench power supply set to 12V and the super capacitor as the battery. However, when we tried to start the circuit on its own, it needed a small spin from the pan to get it going.

Once the circuit was running, we measured the resistance between the four wires and found two pairs with a resistance of about 21 ohms, representing the two coil pairs. We then marked one pair and began creating the circuits again, which resulted in an overall efficiency of around 1.15%. For our final test, we unsoldered the capacitor and added a neon bulb to the output of the circuit.

To our surprise, the bulb lit up brighter on the output than it did on the input, leading some to argue that free energy was involved. However, this can be explained by analyzing the circuits. By spinning the rotor, we induced a positive voltage into one coil, pushing current through the base side and opening the collector middle path. This then built up magnetic fields and kept moving the rotor, inducing an negative voltage in the other coil.

As a result, we applied a small voltage spike to the neon bulb, causing it to light up briefly before returning to its original state. This is simply a crude boost converter that doesn't utilize free energy from a logical standpoint. The concept of supplying input power through thousands of resistances and voltage drops with resulting losses in the circuits makes no sense when expecting more power on the output than on the input.

So all in all the magnet PC fan is bullshitNext is the Bedini motor whose circuit schematic looks most of the time something like thisAs a power source it usually features a 12V battery that through the magic of the circuitadds free energy and thus either charges up a second battery or lights up neon bulbsNow all of the mandatory component for it are pretty common, and thus not a problem togetherExcept the two coils which represent the motor stator section of the circuitFor that, I firstly had to remove the label of a PC fan in order to remove the circlip that holds the rotor in placeAfter removing it as wellI unsolder the four wires from the circuits and pulled off this stator with driver circuit out of the casethen I heated up the connector pins of the stator to remove the driver circuitsand continued by unsoldering the two coil wires from two connector pinsWhat we want in the end are the four wires sticking out from the stator to which we have to solder four extension wiresWhich we can then secure in place with hot glue and then redirect out of the PC fan caseWhile the stator gets positioned in its old placeNow by measuring the resistance between the four wires we should get two pairs with the resistance of about 21OWhich represent the two coil pairsAfter marking one of them it was time to create the circuits. Which due to its simplicity here only took around 5 minutesAs a power source I use my lab bench power supplySet to 12V and as the to be charged as battery I used the super capacitoronly problem was that the circuit didn't want to start on its ownA small Spin for the pan was necessary to get it going and as you can see the capacitor did get charged upWhile the circuits do around 2W on the input so to calculate the efficiency hereI stopped the circuit, discharged the capacitor installed it again while also starting a stopwatchafter around 8 minutesthe capacitor reached the voltage of 1VWith its capacity of 22F this equals an output energy of 11WsFor the input energy hereWe simply have to multiply the input power of around 2W with the time the charging requiredwhich equals an enegy of 956Wsso the circuit does feature a overall efficiency of 1.15%keep in mind that when dealing with free energy here we strive for an efficiency of above 100%and this is 1%but for last test let's unsolder the capacitor and instead let's add a neon bulb to the output of the circuitsas you can see here the bulb lights up brighter on the outputs than it does on the inputWhich means there has to be free energy involved is what people would argue now, but that is also bullshitThe reason for this can be found when we analyze the circuitsFirst off we spin the router so that a positive voltage is induced into the base side coilWhich then pushes current through the base of the transistorThis opens the collector middle path and thus current can flow through the other coilWhich therefore builds up of Magnetic fields and keeps moving the rotorDue to this an negative voltage is induced into the other coil and thus a negative voltage is applied to the baseWhich closes the Collector emitter pathHere it gets interesting. The stored energy of the coil in its magnetic fields gets pushed into the neon bulbWhich results in a small voltage spike, and thus a brief moment in which it lights upAfterwards though the base side coil gets once again induced with a positive voltage and the cycle repeats all over againSo all in all this is simply a crude boost converter that definitely not uses such a thing as free EnergyI mean from a logical side of view you supply input powerhave thousands of resistances voltage drops and power losses in your circuits andstill expect more power on the output then on the inputthat makes no sense, but I will give the circuit this. It is a pretty decent fan driverAnyway, I hope you enjoyed watching this video. If so don't forget to like share and subscribeStay creative and I will see you next time
