Reading the thread, the experimenter > admits that the motor stops eventually when he removes the power. Mike's device runs on its ***OWN*** power. Mike has stated many times the motor runs until he deliberately stops the motor, which is usually several hours. One time Mike left the motor running over night to awaken to a broken motor. > That 47,000 uF cap will keep it going for quite a while. If you would look at the video you would see Mike discharges the cap, gives a slight twist on the motor to get it going. You can clearly see the motor continues to accelerate significantly faster after Mike lets go. This is clearly the "Smoking Gun" ***UNLESS*** Mike is being deceitful. Only time will tell which is the case. Paul
