Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hello good day, I am grade 12 student and currently struggling with my research which is air ventilation/fan using a magnet. If you are familliar with perpetual motion that is the concept of how it moves or the process. But my problem is I don't have enough knowledge to magnets which I can't see on textbooks and internet for the accurate answers, I also asked my physics teacher but I wasn't satisfied there's something missing and my project don't work.

I badly need help, the submission of my academic research will be the end of January.

If you please contact me from my gmail account, [] I am appreciate it too if you comment down here. Thank you so much.

Thank you.

_reachingstars - We always have difficulty with experiments that are based on 'perpetual motion'. Can you give us a better description on what you are doing. Clearly magnets and electrical coils are used to generate motion from electricity or electricity from motion. Hopefully a better explanation will let us be of assistance.

Hi Mr. Rick, I actually wanted to send some pictures for you to order to visualize what's going on my project however it's not available. So I explain it here, incase find my Instagram account rajiemedina or I'll find yours. But it looks like this one https://youtu.be/RkLfpXpO5sQ I'm using bicycle rim then I'm planing to buy Neodymium magnet because ferrite magnets don't work. My problem is I'm not 100 percent sure if it works, do you think I have to consider the weight of the rim? Or it is not possible at all?
