First I thought "what a bullshit, this is impossible". Then I checked the comments and I realized its the first of April. Good joke. You got me.

To be fair, if someone was going to make a perpetual motion machine out of magnets and scrap, it would be these guys.

Garage 54: "What the heck, we invent free energy and everyone thinks it's an April Fools joke. Oh well, throw it in the dumpster."

Congratulations. You have achieved truly clean energy. I propose that you install this engine in a relatively medium-sized boat, because I believe that the propeller will have less resistance than an automotive transmission and you can regulate the forward control using a clutch so as not to have to stop the eternal movement of this wonderful ecological engine. Anyway, you have already made a dream come true and I congratulate you, thank you for sharing your adventures. Blessings to all!

Absolute Perfect "April Fools" - I Love it .. Big Thumb up for your Work.

Something revolutionary + magnets + Garage54 = Aprils Fools

I did this and variations of this back in the eighties, even went very far down the route of patenting the whole idea back in '99 but didn't follow through. I hit on making an engine when working for an avionics company called Muirhead Vestric, I actually used the insanely powerful magnets from a Harrier aircraft system motor and some very strong stainless steel rodding to make con rods and crankshaft and high expense jewelled bearings again from the trusty Harrier stuff. My patent covered also X and Y shaped configurations which could be modular bolted together to make multiples and used to replace petrol engines size for size. Had different concepts of air and magnetic bearings on the crankshaft preferring magnetic bearings for low friction and general air cooling with heat exchangers for anything that got very hot but my prototype ran perfectly for as long as one wanted, virtually no friction and just continual power motion.

I love that you guys put so much effort into even a joke. But to be fair it this engine would be a really cool mancave piece.

Another starter motor being tortured 😂

Good one! 😂 Try making a solenoid engine next, they do actually work!

That was a prank well told. You really sold it to me with the magnet adjustment. Thanks for that laugh!

So glad i didnt check the comments before it ended, i was fooled. I was thinking of all the potential to balance all the spinning parts. Ugh man you got me so good. So good.

I would have believed you if you hadn't done it last year! 😂

i almost forgot the date. you guys!!!!

Definitely one of the better April fools jokes I seen today made me laugh good job Garage 54

Have to love April 1 and Garage 54's sense of humor!

I'm amazed by the fact that you didnt even make a simple cover for the "camshaft" and had so much faith in your weldind while passing by the cars parked 🤣🤣🤣

Every year your april fools videos get better and better lol

That was an absolutely well played prank. Very good lads. Very good. I seem to recall another thing done with magnets a couple of years back. If I recall it was a large magnet being held in front of the vehicle, which would make it move forward. The moment I started this video it reminded me of the older one. They go out of their way for a good April fools day gag for sure.

Very well done ! ☺ Your tone and acting was perfect and really convincing. Nice contraption too.

biggest trick is that all this is real and is powered by Leprechauns

April fools day damn🤣🤣🤣🤣

Those people that think it's April's fool joke...I guess you don't have the knowledge of the maglev train

Now this is good stuff so much fun out of the effort put into this project kudos to you guys.

You're calling for electricoboom territory lol

I'm NOT falling for THAT again!!

It was still really cool to watch you guys build it👍

You had me imagining all different improvements that could be done like trying it with a Commer Knocker engine layout, well done

The hardest part of making a prepetual motion machine is hiding the batteries.

For a non-april fools version, have electromagnets on top and permanent magnets on the pistons

Keep these videos on this motor going! MADE MY DAY

The thing is, a machine somewhat like this can actually work. There are certain criteria that need to be met to make it work, and even more specification to make it work well. Perpetual energy machines do indeed work. You just have to be careful.... Never put it out to the public. Certain enemies are always watching.

If a magnet motor was able to be made in this fashion, Garage 54 would be able to do it im pretty sure. ❤ Happy April 1st

I wonder if it would be possible with electro magnets? You wouldn't needs to have the magnets spinning when you're alternating the polarity electronically, and there would be a way to accelerate and decelerate the engine speed by adding/subtracting current.

I kind of think it would work but it really works as I continue watching.You have a very smart clever mind.Good work and I'm waiting for for the completion of your fun but mind blowing project.

Love these guys and the stuff they come up with. It’s like mythbusters but for cars and a fraction of the budget but still very entertaining to watch

Checks the date... Oh no.

I'd use this engine to power a generator. A few upgrades and you could probably run a entire house off it.

Wrap the cylinders in coils, wire them 12v parallel and set up a switch to reverse the polarity to stop it.

I saw your previous April Fools vid about this -.- I know what's up. I am glad you upgraded this beast! It aint hard to hide the battery when you are the folks making the Vid! I'm glad you made the same 'upgraded' engine as the last vid I saw from a Year or Two ago- I'd have been fooled if I hadn't seen that within the last few Days! I love this channel, you guys do some epic work. You've been silencing so many intrusive thoughts :P Did you guys use another starter motor to drive the thing? that alone was pretty dang impressive in the last one.

Add copper around the cylinders to make electricity at the same time.

Allready knew what this was gunna be even before clicking on video lol

CONGRATULATIONS !!! Great Work

I love your channel but free energy is just a dream 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤

Waiiiiit a minute. Haven't watched all the way through yet. It's april fools day. Damnit. I feel like I'm gonna get fooled.

Oh my god I fucking love this. They say electric has the most torque, but it seems magnetic is the true way to go

I had a similar thought for small generation of electrical generators.cool you guys are having fun thanks .

Good one you made me watch it and think about it before a second 😂😂😂

Hello I would like to know can this magnetic engine work as a generator 🤔🤔🤔🤔 to provide electric ????

Never a dull moment 😅

after couple of years, you guyz earn a sub for real. been watching ur videos since the old garage u had XD epic engineering - thank you so much for bringing this knowledge to us:):) keep it going garage 54 u guys are awesome.

This is the fist f ing time in God knows 20 years that I was foold. Good job like the work 😂🎉

Make electromagnet system works and powerful.With ignition coil.

Nice to know the Russians have April Fools as well as us in the west.

Absolutely brilliant!!!😂😂😂

That's a commendable effort for an April fools joke! 😉😂

I wonder how many people fell for this... Sadly, i'm sure there's a lot....

These guys are incredible. The video I was searching is this

Very well-done and I'm hoping to watch in full, later in a WARM kitchen - great work!---🤩😀

I was waiting for the end of the video, and for you to come clean :)))

This channel never ceases to crack me up.

I love this channel I’m always amazed with what you guys build

Yup, nice one. I'm watchin this thinkin' no f'ing way......ya got me.😂❤

Well done guys, I fell for it.

Thanks guys for making an awesome content

Love these guys and their antics

This is awesome!! I like the way how people inventing new stuff and work like the things we allready know. Make it bigger, stronger and proof that your invention works. Keep on inventing guys... love it!! Use Teflon for the body and Carbon fibers for rods and that sort of things.

You had me going for a minute there 😂

I totally fell for the whole gag!🤣🤣🤣

Almost fell for that. Best April fool ever 👍👍🤣

Hilarious! Thank you!

This crazy dude puts alot of effort into this .

love to watch this group because of their out of this world idea,

I designed a magnet motor that used shielding that moved across the top magnets instead of spinning the tops, actually worked but on an extremely small scale with only one cylinder, never got around to making a full size 4 cylinder,

These guys are my new favorite to watch

Ok ok now I want to see it on a DYNO how much toques it’s gots Happy new year 🥳

That’s awesome I dreamed about a motor running on magnets since I was a kid but I never did anything about it and wow there it is!!! Great job guys you have made a perpetual motion machine that science has worked at for 100yrs or so but couldn’t do it but there it is you’re geniuses!!!!!

Yes, the yearly Garage 54 free energy video!

I thought this was gonna be one of those real electric cylinder motors but then I realized it was an April fools prank

Well damn me! I actually believed this.. you got me good! 😂

Wow!!!!! I like this video and i hope there will be more of this. Episode 3-4-5 etc? 💪👍😃

Always wanted to try this

This is unbelievable !

Watching this I'm thinking HOLY COW! Have these guys done the impossible? I kept watching to see what else they will do and... APRIL FOOL! Good one, guys. You got me!

That's a good one,,you did an excellent job hiding the electric motor,,and it looks neat !

Awesome April fools video guys. That was still pretty cool to see as I've always loved magnetism, electromagnetism, and especially magnetic levitation. You guys always do something cool, even if it's a prank.

I fell for it because i've seen them actually made crazy stuff work.

I thought that flimsy crankshaft had no chance to pull the car. You got me! 🐟... and the 1243 firing order hahaha!

I wasnt expecting the torque, nice one!!

Well done guys 🍻

Simply awesome 😂👍

A lot of effort went into that prank, well done!

Very good job. On the bench test the battery pack under the motor is quite evident, but on the car test it's very well conceiled. And cannot tell were the electric motor is hidden. I suppose threre is and adittional belt attached to the cranckshaft on the gears side.

Great job guys this is genius. Might need a little work on the brakes lol Nice for a prototype

nice work and making good use of physics nice

Nice... Happy April 1st!!!

Great job on the April Fools joke! Interesting design choice too. What’s next for next year? Space shuttle?🤪

magnetic engine can work continiously and charge a battery unit. Then Car can go with battery powered electric engines.

Now, how can you make this even funnier and better like a bigger engine or something or a magnetic drive system?

I really got fooled. I thought it was for real 😂
