Does anyone know how this motor from Quantum Energy works?

    Motor
In summary, there is a company called Quantum Energy that has a motor which they claim works using magnets, a battery, and a computer. They also have a factory and training/recruitment center in Wyoming. However, there are red flags such as their insistence that it is not a perpetual motion machine and vague claims on their website. Upon further investigation, it appears that their "photonic lights" are not a viable source of energy and their motor may be a hoax. The conversation ends with the decision to lock the discussion thread and delete the links.

Does anyone know how this motor from Quantum Energy (aka Inductance Energy) works? They have a series of videos on their channel, this being is just the latest. I think their facory in Byron, Wyoming was part funded by a government loan..

Factory and training/recruitment center..

I'm pretty sure there is a battery involved. Magnets, a battery, and a computer. What could be more transparent?

As a rule of thumb, when the first thing someone tells you is that their invention isn't a perpetual motion machine (before you can even think to ask), that means it's a perpetual motion machine. The website is filled with technobabble and vague claims that sure sound like perpetual motion. Also, "photonic lights" :rolleyes: which generate electricity from light fixtures.

I'll give it a bit more of a look, but we're probably headed for a lock here...

[edit] Ok, so the "photonic lights" :rolleyes: :rolleyes: aren't a PMM they are just a bad idea: replace the reflector on a light fixture with a PV array.

[edit2] Watching the first video: he's hand-cranking the flywheel (he says it's usually motor-driven by a "control circuit" that rotates the "attenuator"). It's a PMM hoax, but he evidently doesn't even realize it (maybe...). I'm going to go ahead and lock the thread and delete the links.

[edit3] Ok, the "photonic lights" :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: claim is 50% input energy recovery, which is impossible given the efficiency of the lights, and a PMM. So it's looking more like maybe he does know it's a hoax.
