Seven hours? As Chris Tinsley used to say, that narrows it down to two possibilities: real, or fraud. No middle ground there. Some of the skeptics commenting on the video claimed they saw fishing line unreeling and pulling the device. That wouldn't work for 7 hours. Nor would small batteries or demagnetization. I suppose there are a few other ways to fake it, but anyway, if it really did run for 7 hours with no wires attached, that sounds like irrefutable proof to me. I hope it is replicated and thousands of copies are made world-wide within a few months. The only thing that I would regret -- slightly -- is that it would probably make cold fusion moot, and it might even cause cold fusion to be forgotten. (On the other hand, an astounding breakthrough might open people's minds to other possibilities such as cold fusion, which might still be useful for transmutation.) But anyway, a magnetic motor would serve all of the purposes I described in my book, and that is the only thing that matters. - Jed
