5) yes the wheel will actually keep spinning * IF you have the magnet in the right place in probably you'd need a degree in engineering to figure out correctly the way he has it demonstrated it will probably only spin for about an hour or less* 6) this argument is retarded and you ppl need to get a life if you really think you so right about a *listen now* TOY MOTOR AND A PLASTIC PHILIDEPHIA LID CREATING PERPETUAL ENERGY -_- COME ON PPL

*facepalm* wow this big of an argument over simple phisics here we go ppl ima dumb it down real nice like so you can understand how this is actualy possible 1)yes this is actually possible ive done it before in simple in class experiments 2) as Andyl said the magnet would have to get past the the equilibrium position witch is actualy possible on a small set up like this (based on weight in the grams here ppl it dosent take alot to move it) so when one magnet moves past the hand magnet its going to be attacted fast enough that it will push threw the hand magnets strongest point in the magnetic feild were the next magnet slides into place to continue the attraction that means that its gona gather momentum and go faster and faster till it reaches a stable point were it cant continue to gain speed 4) friction -_- its a toy motor with a plastic lid theres not much friction there ( remember ppl this is stuff weighing only grams here )
3) Retraction. If the poles on the hand magnet are aligned tangentially to the radius of the wheel, then it *would* be attracting approaching magnets and repelling passed magnets.
3A) However, this is not a binary either/or thing. The leading edge is attracting while the trailing edge is repelling. At the exact halfway point, the leading edge is pulling the wheel back while the trailing edge is pushing the wheel back. The net effect is, the hand magnet is providing more *stopping* force than *going* force.
