  1. Hey! Thanks for this helpful video. By the way, I notice many people keep on talking about Xobotano Home Energy (just google it), but I’m not sure if it’s good. Have you tried using this alternative home energy known as Xobotano Home Energy? I’ve heard many incredible things about it.

  2. Hello! Thanks a lot for this useful video. By the way, I hear lots of people keep on talking about Xobotano Home Energy (search on google), but I’m not sure if it is really good. Have you tried using this alternative home energy called Xobotano Home Energy? I’ve heard several great things about it.

  3. Actually you are right… It s they first thing i did at first ;o) unfortunately this technique is usable only once with this king of magnets… since you will just fade away all the magnetism of the weakest magnet after 1 or 2 trial.

  4. A pretty safe way to check polarity of the magnets is to use a much smaller magnet of known polarity.

  9. Very interesting project. It looks like your going to have a nice low RPM/high output generator there. I think the blades are way too small though. With the drag of the generator, you’ll probably need a much wider blade span.
