How To Make the World's Simplest Electric Train!
Grab the kids and watch this simple science experiment! Or you can learn and do it at your own home in front of the kids !

Question: Do you know how long it would keep going in the loop if you never broke it up? How long would it stay in motion?
Answer : Until the battery discharges
Explanation: It's not just the magnets that are kind of 'pushing' the capsule. The spring - spiral - carries current and hence itself becomes a magnet. And then the magnetic attraction and repulsion does the rest.
If the current stops, the coil is no longer a 'magnet', and this thing will halt.
Moral of the story :
Many watchers are now heartbroken because they thought it could be a "free energy" and "perpetual motion" device...
Sorry, fellas... It does not exist
