Those are both examples of homopolar motors.

In the first example, the water is acting as the "wire" as the electrolysis current flows through it. The water rotates just like the wire and drags the generated browns gas along with it.
- ineedtogroove 15y agoOK, so how is a non-ferrous material (water) being moved by a magnet? Clearly in the video of the water vortex there is a proof showing that the water does not move with an iron slug, but does move with the magnet. I might buy you a donut
- ars 15y agoThe same way non-ferrous copper is moved by a magnet if it has current flowing through it.
- noonespecial 15y agoThe catch is that anything you run current through becomes magnetic, even though its not ferrous. Copper wire, water, ionized air, whatever. Take this unexpected effect, sprinkle in a little crazy and you've got your "new theory of physics that will give us all free energy if the government doesn't suppress it yada-yada."
