I think most light bulbs are powered by magnets and copper wire.

They are called generators, and work in everything from hydroelectric plants to windmills...

Windmills.
Taxpayers are paying for every revolution.
K Street lobbyist are buying every vote by Congress.
Sit back and feel good about the green.

And they need lots of energy to move those parts relative to each other. All that generators do is transform kinetic energy into electrical energy. Without the externally supplied kinetic energy they don’t do squat.

But a generator is in constant motion - the copper wires must cut magnetic field lines in order to generate electricity. If there’s no motion, there’s no cutting of field lines, and no electricity.

In that guy’s video nothing is moving, and there is no obvious external power source, yet there is electricity. It’s just a clever trick of some sort.
