Need a picture of Uncle Fester powering a lightbulb in his mouth.

[dinodino]

What a dumbass question.

[GraceG]

Probably a scam powered by inductive fields and a high voltage transformer.

[LukeL]

There has to be a battery or electrical device under the table. Conservation of energy is violated thus this device is not possible.

One of my long passed uncle's ran the lights in his Minnesota barn using a very large flat coil of copper wire attached to the underside of the barn roof. The local utility condemned his land and put a very big high tension power line practically over the top of his barn. The lights were not 100% bright but they worked fine for what they were. Oh and the wire was “free”, liberated from the utility.

Fluorescent tubes will glow nicely near an RF source.

Reality...or fake news?

[Garth Tater]

I’ve been working on this very idea for 35 years now out in my garage. I knew those bastards were spying on me!

[Nik Naym]

Are you serious?

Did you ever learn the MOST BASIC physics?

Good Lord. This is why science education should take precedence over social crap in schools today.

[I want the USA back]

No energy is 100% free. “light bulbs magnets” is meaningless.
A CHANGING magnetic field can induce a current in a wire or a coil. You have to KEEP MOVING the magnets! That involves energy.
These magnets are not moving. I have no explanation.

[cicero2k]

Electric fields alter the appearance and shape of energy/mass, and are not energy itself.

My high science fair , I lit up half the fluorescent bulbs in the school cafeteria when I switched on my Tesla coil. I was magic for 15 seconds.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Why isn’t this guy getting a Nobel Prize instead of publishing youtube videos? Because he’s cheating somehow. There’s some sort of power source under the table or something.

[P.O.E.]

Or this:

[BobL]

Good music, at least. As to the effect, one may wonder if the bulb was tampered with to add a battery, or one may wonder why there’s a shadow of a coiled wire at the 39 second mark. Either way, nice illusion.

[TexasTransplant]

It is the movement not the magnet that generates electricity and that electricity is not enough to move and generate electricity simultaneously by any means.
It is basically a VERY simple Generator ... it requires input of Energy to transform that Energy into Electrical Energy.
There are MANY more efficient ways to transform motion to Electricity.

[1FreeAmerican]

E=MC². Period.

[Pearls Before Swine]

What you’re describing: it’s called a generator.

It takes energy to turn it, and you’re unlikely to be able to do that more cheaply than your utility can.

[CurlyDave]

The device actually works, but it only appears to be free electricity. I don't know whether an electrical engineer would call it a primitive antenna, or a primitive transformer, but it is picking up energy broadcast by the house wiring wherever it is located and using that energy to produce light.

While the light is on, the electric meter is running just a little bit faster and therefore you are actually paying for that light...

Now if you can receive energy from some else's electric source, and therefore their electric meter, you can get "free" energy, paid by them.

[BitWielder1]

Energy always has to come from somewhere, the laws of physics are very strict on this.
Just because they don't show you does not mean it was free.
There are YouTube clips where they debunk various perpetual motion machines and free energy scams. Have fun watching.
