@MixedSnowFoxPlays If power is needed at night or on those winter days, energy can be conserved by utilizing a utility grid or a battery bank. The utility grid can be used simultaneously with solar power and the battery bank can convert solar energy into electricity throughout the day to be stored for later use.
Or it just using the Magic of the Universe. Don't forget, the Wildlife equestrias is really fucked up like the tinderwolves wich are a products of Wild Magic jumping over to Wood and Sticks and make em to a creature impossible to kill physicaly. Or the parasprites wich are pure magic materia wich duplicates itself After collecting enough Energy. There must be something in the air to make stuff like this happen and this energy can be also Used for mashines
However, as seen in Just For Sidekicks, the glow seems to remain even if the propeller isn't spinning, and it doesn't seem to spin when it isn't connected to Tank, therefore it might be that Tank himself forms an essential part of the circuit needed for the mechanism to work.
Maybe it's like, unicorns employ their raw magic and can adjust its properties, it's either a movement of air, telekinesis, electrical-like load or other type, giving it more and more properties to aquire more complex spells... [I made another comment and it should be somewhere around...]
Ik this shit is 3 years old but here's the thing Twilight is NOT "the" magic pony All ponies have magic, they just express it differently Twilight is the Element of Magic. I think it's what u meant
This is what I think. I think it is weird but here it is. Tank's propeller might be controlled by the sun, because when the sun is gone, tank doesn't fly so high, the propeller might need energy to be flying, so it is controlled by light, but I have no idea what the magic is, but since the sun is controlled by Celestial, it might explain why the magic is yellow. I know this explanation might be weird, but it does relate something to Tank's propeller
I was expecting an answer for how it defies newton's 3rd law of motion and doesn't require a tail rotor to oppose the force of the main prop to stay airborne
I think it's less about normal magic and more about being enchanted. It you think about it, there are objects that can store magic, and objects that can resist magic cough*Smooze*cough. Take for example, the Alicorn Amulet. Not only does it give it's wearer heightened magical power, but it also increases in power itself. But where is that magic coming from? I have a theory that the AA (seriously, was it made by a drunk pony or something?) was was enchanted in a way that it takes in magic from around it, which his how it continues to grow more powerful. So perhaps Tank's propeller has a similar enchantment. Perhaps it takes in just enough magical energy from the world around it to power the propeller as needed. However, there's something else that has to be accounted for. And it's again similar to the AA. The AA's power would corrupt the mind of it's user (either that or they are just drunk). So there must be some kind of psychic link. I'm mentioning this because you have to wonder, how is Tank able to control the propeller at will? And that is the second enchantment is that the propeller is controlled by Tank's will.
I know this is kinda an old video but as I was watching mlp (episode titled just for sidekicks) s3 e8 I noticed that tanks propeller only works when it's on him. When it is off it doesn't work...
I always assumed it was a 'make-it-move' spell, permanently embedded in to the axle and running off either ambient magic or recharges. That gives us the hover capability. To convert that into side motion, Tank just has to shift his body weight to angle the propellor in the direction he wants to go.
I'd assume there's also some sort of speed controller to allow for vertical motion, though how that's controlled I don't know. Possibly it can detect his head looking up or down, or maybe the feedback is mental.
Neither do I know how it avoids counter-rotation. Maybe that's a function of the stator component.
I have noticed Tank's propeller and I believe it was Celestia who cast the spell on a MAGICAL CRYSTAL that powers Tank's propeller.(I mean just look at the bit with the unicorn/alicorn glow) The infinite spell by Celestia also explains why Rainbow Dash can just switch it on and off(In Tank's for the memories is where I saw him do that)which makes sense because Rainbow is one of the main six so she gets to go see the princesses whenever she wants to.So I think and thought that it is celestia
0:22 Okay, since you brought it up I'm going to mention this right now: a come to life spell. True, when Twilight used that spell in Winter Wrap Up it seemed to require the use of her horn even after the spell was cast, but it also didn't seem to be under her direct control anymore. Perhaps if such a spell was fed magic from another source... hmm, idk.
2:06 My guess is that the magic comes from Tank himself. Sure, turtles tortoises can't usually use magic on their own, but perhaps with the use of a specially crafted device for drawing magical energy out of them, it would work. Tank seems to be in control of the device, so it would make sense that the magic to power it is also coming from him.
3:06 Oh, come on! We had enough of this during April Fools day! =P
I always figured it was a magic generator, like an electric one mirroring the real world. We see dash spin or wind it and a lot of the generators have a pull string to start them up. Maybe it's something in the design (and possibly materials) that makes it generate magic.
Since we know that most or all beings in equestria have atleast a small form of magic, what if animals like tank had a neutral source of magic that is able to slowly feed into the machine, possibly a spell was enchanted into that black-ish piece in order to match the will of the wearer so the disc spins faster or slower, this would allow tank to adjust his height accordingly rather than a repeated spin spell which would possibly cause constant speeds or slightly controlled flight
So I agree on it might be Celestia controlling the propeller, but I think there might be another reason of why that is. Celestia is the princess of the sun right? And we only see tank propeller spinning in the daylight, so is it possible that the sun is doing this magic? I'm not sure if that's true or not but please correct me! :3
Okay, here's my theory. Since the main six and Celestia are pretty close, maybe Celestia cast a spell on the rod, giving it the ability to store her magic. Just like how you were saying she could've looped the spell, she could've put quite a bit of magic into it, and every once in a while re-done the spell so that the rod could store more magic. Make sense?
If I were to make a guess, I wouldn't say it's a 'spell' that keeps Tank up in the air. I think it's very possible that Rainbowdash had the harness specially made for him, so he could fly along her side. It wouldn't be the first time we'd seen magic and technology being used together in the show. I'm more interested in the inner workings of the device. It could have a spell/enchantment on it or whatever to power it, but I like the idea that there could be a gem in it somewhere acting like a battery. It's likely that all gems, even the common ones in the earth have some magical quality to them, so I wonder if they could be used in that way?
I personally think it's Celestia. A replaying spell must be very difficult to perform, and therefore, must take a lot of strength, something an average unicorn probably wouldn't be able to do. Idk. My theory.
I'm about to get sciency here... In Tanks for the Memories, Dash actually starts the propeller as we would the propeller on a propeller plane. I think it's a magic powered motor that keeps it going, but it has to be physically stopped or started. We've seen at least one instance where somepony (or some-dragon) put their hoof/claw on top of the mechanism and it stopped running.
My guess is that the magic in that hat of his is what keeps him from falling through the floor in RD's house. A non-magical prop-hat would allow him to just plummet through the floor and into the ground when it stopped spinning. As for how it works... I'm a little lost on that. Maybe Pinkie made it? She seems to enjoy breaking the laws of physics, magic, logic and walls.
@The Brony Notion the theory with Celestia isnt wrong, but it doenst seem right the way u said it, too. Celestia raises and lowers the sun, which is also yellow. what if the triangle thing is holding a gem, which is powering the entire mechanism and is charged by the sun.
anyway, could u please take these few questions about Discords abbility to open portal for your next video? 1. could he open a portal to the human world? 2. would TWilight transform if she uses this isntead of the mirror portal? 3. what would happen if she uses Discords portal to the human world, but the mirror portal back to Equestria?
I have a suggestion for your next video. You should make a video on how the elements came to be. You sort of talked about it in a past video, and I talked about it in that same one. Long story short, I think the Fire of Friendship and the Element of Friendship influenced the tree to become the Tree of Harmony, and create the Elements of Harmony.
I have an idea going off of "maybe Celestia cast the spell." So the glow does match with celestia's magic, and Celestia controls the sun. Perhaps the sun charges the magic in the propeller because its accepting Celestia's magic back into its apparatus. This would explain why the propeller is not constantly used, because it would need to charge.
Interesting ideas. However, if Tank's propeller were driven electromechanically, he wouldn't be able to control it psychically, which we see him doing in Tanks for the Memories (in the opening he begins to fall as he gets sleepy, implying that he is controlling the propeller with his mind). I think the axle acts as a sort of magical capacitor which stores pegasus magic, rather than unicorn magic (which could explain the color), and allows Tank to release it at will, with a fail-safe to allow him to float softly to the ground if he falls asleep.
The metal of the propeller could have a powerful gemstone wtth magic powering it... Relating back on an earlier video on why Celestia never uses her magic, or that it's getting weaker, perhaps she's trying to make the most of it by helping out Tank and RD.
It's probably an enchantment of some kind, similar to the ones in Harry Potter. Once it's cast, it'll last until it eventually runs itself out or someone counters the spell.
It's like a charm. Similar the to one shinning armour used when he was protecting catterlot. His horn wasn't glowing the whole time,but the spell didn't stop in till much later.
What if it's actually powered by a gem? I could totally see Twilight filling a gem with magic and RD swapping them out like batteries. No, it doesn't match Twi's horn color, but who really thinks it's Celestia doing it? Maybe the gems are yellow, and it takes color from them. IDK, it could work.
I theorize that Equestrian technology runs off magic instead of electricity, using enchantments to provide the power. The thing about enchantments is that they are still magic. If you notice, most tech in Equestria in encased in some kind of casing. This casing would hind the enchantments and thus the magic aura they would give off. Tank's propeller has no casing, so the magic is visible. As for the color, Celestia isn't the only one with yellow magic. A pony's magic matches their eye color, so it could be that Lyra made it.
it isnt that difficult to enchant objects. you can see this in stuff like the power ponies with the enchanted comic book, or the doll with the want it need it spell, or the many instances of bringing an inanimate object to life. there have been many instances in which spells can be in some way permanent, continuing to do a magical action until the spell is dissipated, or being able to hold a spell until it is activated. probably the only big difference between tanks propeller and say the super speedy cider squeezy is the addition of a visible on off switch with which to deactivate the magic that requires magic to reactivate. whereas with tanks propeller, you just have to spin it to get it going or stop it manually to turn it off
Great video! I was wondering if ponies can have slit personality disorder. In the episode Daring Don't, we see that A.K. Yearling becomes Daring Do, and doesn't mention meeting them before when she becomes Daring Do. Also, we know that Equestria is a magical place. What if, in split personality disorder in Equestria, the pony's whole form changes, like from a unicorn to a pegasus? Anyway, just a though.
What if the magic that causes the thing to work is from Tank himself? Couldn't all creatures have magic besides ponies? Maybe the machine takes the magic inside Tank and cause the thing to spin.
I always just figured Twilight enchanted it. True it doesn't match the colour of her magic, but maybe enchanted objects form their colour from the type of spell rather than the caster's magic colour? (it's also possible that it is powered by a small gem housed in the centre of the mechanism)
A possibility is combo of tech and magic, specifically the sun. It could be solar powered. Absorb the energy of the sun, or the magic, and it then runs.
I guess i can help the magic theory, when shining armour cast the magical barrier to protect canterlot his horn wasnt constantly glowing so as a guess tanks propeller doesnt need to habe constant power from the horn it could be kinetic energy that makes it work as tank moves the kinetic energy is converted into some other form that then turns back into kinetic thus making an cycle
I just started watching you today and I watched your shadow pony video where you said that star swirl might be the shadow pony, but what about tirek? He has been seen a lot to have yellow eyes,a hood,and a weird appearance as a shadow. And if your timeline was correct, tirek would perfectly fit in because he was banished by his brother which means that no evil would come yet because tirek's brother saw happy ponies and not worried ponies at all! Please help the brony notion to see this it means a lot to me!
Maybe Rainbow's element is helping it. RD was always loyal to Tank and the spirit of Rainbow ( spirit of loyalty) magical helps him with what he needs because how much loyalty is given to Tank. Then again, the object itself isn't the one RD is being loyal to.
Maybe gems are used like batteries? You said before that gems are all magic in some way. Could it be that any unicorn could store magic, or maybe a spell, in a gemstone that's later used in machinery to make a piece behave a specific way? Perhaps the cone-shaped bit on the propeller has a tiny gemstone in which Twilight stored a rotation spell? The difference in glow could be explained by each gem (and the part affected by it) would glow in the color of that specific gem, regardless of the unicorn who charged it.
Of course, after a while, the magic in the gem would fade to the basic magic-level it can hold. This would mean Twilight would have to re-charge the gem to make the propeller function again.
I may not have anything for the magic part. But I do feel they use the tweeter mites for the electricity they give off to power things. Even if it was a dream, the idea of them had to have some from somewhere. So maybe they are real. Anyway, them as a power source makes more since then them just being locked up somewhere or being let loss.
I think that the force of Tank's propeller is so strong that it makes a magical field to stop the pole that it is standing on to break or drop off so that the propeller will still work
I would think that celestia might have cast the spell, considering the fact that she's not sitting near a window all the time holding the sun in place, after all Twilight had to put the moon down so the sun could rise, but during that episode she wasn't always controlling it either....
I think tanks propeller operates on a single spark of magic similar to electricity in our world. when the propeller starts spinning , it creates a loop of magic being provided from the magic generated by the propellers spinning motion.
Maybe there's a small crystal that has extra magic stored in it hidden somewhere in the propeller. The crystal would explain where the magic is coming from.
my thought is that unicorns or Alicorns can enchant objects so that they can be used to cast a spell permanently, and the the magic color of that object has more to do with it's properties than who cast it. that being said i think that tanks flying rig was made by Twilight and sunsets book was made by Celestia. I also believe that tanks flying rig might have the ability to be turned on and off by him.
I think it just makes more sense if it's a spell that allows Tank to control to propeller with his own will power(basically, through thoughts). Twilight probably cast the spell, and since it's meant to be controlled by someone other than the original caster, it took up a flexible yellow color. It could match Tank's color scheme, but it could also just be there to represent magic in general, not belonging to one specific being.
Certainly a permanently enchanted magic item. As it not only needs to spin the propellers but propel take in any given direction as well as turn off when needed, thereby requiring psychic link with tank. Something I'm not sure equestrian non-magical technology is up to par with.
personally I think there is some kind of gem inside the cone shaped part of the axis that starts up and keeps the propeller going until it is stopped again. I say this because we saw that it didn't take a unicorn to start it up in "tanks for the memories" Rainbow just started the propeller up by spinning it and the glow appeared as well.
I was thinking that Tank's propeller was just a spell that was cast. Even though we haven't seen magic cast and left alone, we also haven't seen anything that proves it can't happen. I figured some unicorn cast a spell to continue spinning the propeller, and might've even made it so that when coming in contact with Tank, it activates and gives him the ability to control it. I know it sounds complicated, but it's kind of like... Magical circutry, or magical C++ somehow. Certain commands given. Even better (and more likely), it was more tha one spell cast on the propeller. A control spell, and a turning spell.
I always assumed that everything in Equestria ran off of magic regardless of whether or not the aura is visible. (It may be visible INSIDE the contraption for example, but not on the outside) and if I remember right, even Lauren Faust herself said that if there ever had to be any kind of computer thing in the show or whatever, she liked to think that in the end, it was all run off of magic.
I like the theory that other races didn't have magic and advanced more quickly technology-wise, though. That's a very interesting theory. I like it a lot. It makes you wonder if in the end, while unicorns are seen as the smart race, it would probably be the other two who have needed to live without magic that would be the ones who were smarter or at least more advanced as far as inventions go and everything.
What if.... I think you have said before in one of your videos, that creatures have magic. If I take this theory, and conclude, it would be... That magic is from Tank's own inner magic and the device he uses feeds on that magic (like in the anime Fairytail)and repeated using of magic (he keeps flying) without much rest can cause him to be tired, maybe that's why he is so weak, thus having to hibernate in that episode. You can say what fluttershy said and just tell me that he needs to hibernate like normal turtles. But from my point of view, Equestria and Our world are different, so maybe animals there are different too?
I think it is the new type of magic a spell was cast to make it so he could fly but the magic only go when it detects motion and it also keeps the motion going now if you don't mind I just gave myself a giant headache enjoy your days off
In the "Power Ponies" episode we see an example of a magical device (comic book that warps them into the story). There was nothing powering the book, it simply had magic on it's own. I think the propeller might have the same type of magic.
I've noticed in the background of most of the episodes that there are random objects with magic auroras that have no magic wat so ever and so I believe that the fence axil has no magic but instead has magic residue around it from an earlier spell maybe casted some where around it but this magic residue kind of acts like wind that spins the propellers and then it keeps up the popetual motion and so it has no magic but is controlled by popetual motion
I always thought the yellow aura was electricity. Maybe the propeller is mind-operated. Maybe whoever made it is a unicorn and they enchanted it to make it mind-controlled so it works whenever Tank is wearing it.
Perhaps its an enchantment? Similar to the 'want it, need it' spell Twilight casted in Lesson Zero. Celestia was the one who had to stop it, which could mean it takes some powerful magic to break the enchantment - could be like a lifelong battery?
"My names Snails I like whales and when I got to the beach I always bring my pail"...also the magic is probably an enchantment placed by Twilight. The staff of sameness was said to be a relic of the wizard meddowbrook which means that items can have magical properties that were not inately there...boom...illuminati confirmed...mic drop
@Arygua The staff was just a piece of driftwood. There are other examples of truly enchanted items. Including Great Mage Meadowbrook's Eight Artifacts.
@Daaim Khan The Artifacts of the Great Mage Meadowbrook? All we know about them is that there are eight of them. None of them is a staff, but other than that we don't know their natures. We also don't know their abilities.
Artifacts we know about are the Elements of Harmony (and perhaps the Tree), the Alicorn Amulet, and the Crystal Heart.
Tank is simply a powerful magician. due to his lazy and relaxed nature(despite being Rainbow Dash's pet) he doesn't use his power to it's full potential.
Maybe the machine just gets its magic from the air. When ponies or other characters use magic, the magic vanishes into the air. So, the machine must be gathering the magic from the air.
Shining Armor didn't always need to power the force field in a canterlot wedding, so I think the propeller is from a factory that can make the magic work without ponies. I don't think celestia would power a little propeller. To small deal
I think it's solar powered. As you said, the color is the same as Celestia's and Celestia is the princess of the sun. This would actually make sense, and the aura is just a natural thing, as of because of Celestia's power with the sun.
I think that your gem theory has to be right in order for this to work, but maybe the part that has the glow, also is made of gems and adding on to your theory, not only can gems hold magic, they can withdraw and deposit magic. As in the part is that glows is outputting magic to propel it, and every once in a while, twilight has to add more magic. I know the color of the twilights magic and the yellow "stick" are different but maybe no matter what color interferes, the "stick" can always stay yellow because it may be a yellow gem, and it can be painted! I know this was a while a go, but hay! Hay is for Ponies!
If I had to theorize then I would say that both Sunset Shimmer's book and Tank's propeller are enchanted items. We know that item s can store and make use of magical energies. In a lot of fantasy enchanting or imbuing an item with magic is common. I think the world of Equestria would be no different, a unicorn (or alicorn) would simply need the proper time and materials to work on the item in question. and to prove enchanted items exist here is a quote directly from MLP: The Cutie Map "And here is the Staff of Sameness. It was one of the great mage Meadowbrook's nine enchanted items." (True there were only eight but it confirms enchanting exists.)
I think that the part that is glory is already magical, or infused with magic, quite like the gems in MLP. Therefore, all Twilight needed to do was activate it or something to make the propellers go off. This is my theory, (crazy I know) but I hope it at least is still plausible.
all of them have magic its just different types. earth ponies have strong muscles and can grow things really well, and pegasi can fly and walk on clouds.
Mabey it's an item that draws magic from the user.even though tank isn't a unicorn or pony in that way,it's safe to say that all creatures or animals in equestia contains a little bit of magic.like the earth pony s,in season 4 episode 25-26 tirek can absorb the magic out of anyone even earth ponys,meaning they have a little bit of magic in them,so it's safe to say everthing in equestrian is magic,witch basically what equestia is,a land of magic in the show,or I can be completely wrong and what gives every pony magic is there cutie Mark,and only pony s have magic in them.
I think that the sun gives off energy which with the correct material becomes magic. So When Celestia raises the sun she transfers some of her magic into it so that it will move on its own for the rest of the day. So when Tank flies his propeller absorbs some of the magic. Oh and the same for Luna and the night if he were to fly at night.
i think that rainbow dash bought it from a store which was passed on through generations.the pony at the end of the line could be a powerful unicorn.that unicorn could be star swirl the bearded because he also has yellow magic and he is very powerful.
Well, it actually makes sense. But it doesn't matter that Star Swirl could be the one controlling it, because he's either dead, or he's on a long way journey to find something.
I have a theory you know how starlight put the cutie marks in jars considering that cutie marks contain magic magic can be held in a jar or some sort of container so maybe the magical energy is just in there like normal things or its like solar energy and reflects the magic off of other ponys
I'm surprised that you didn't mention the tickets from episode three. They even had the same yellow glow and were already known to have come from Celestia herself.
Maybe it's the elements of harmony. Since Tank is always around Rainbow Dash, the element of loyalty and the other elements, their power may be the thing that is causing his propeller to propel.
@Asma abdulah Asmoo So tank's propeller is a changeling? Feeds off of love?
(This is just a joke. Don't take it seriously. I have to put this message because I have met a lot of people who just let the jokes fly over their heads.)
I think that all technology in Equestria has magic. How much? Well that depends on the amount of energy it needs. And that yellow glow was probably the color of magic that belongs to a unicorn we haven’t seen yet
here's my theory. I think that when twilight sparkle said that Tank cant fly, rainbow dash got an idea to to put a propeller on him, of course. but when she found out that it couldn't run on it's own, she asked twilight to put a kind of loop spell on it for her. but when she tried it, she'd have to stand there everytime rainbow dash wanted Tank to fly. she got tired of doing that.but it was only possible with alicorn magic to put magic in a loop with out somepony standing there. so rainbow dash got the idea to take it to Princess Celestia to put that kind of spell on Tank's propeller for rainbow dash so that she could fly around and have fun with Tank. btw my VERY first theory.
I read a theory which basically said that cloudsdale was creating their own personal magic and exhausted rainbows as an after-effect. probably the reason it can produce weather and power Tanks' propeller?
Its been established that all ponies have latent magic. Unicorns can conduct their magic through their horn, Pegasi can conduct theirs through their wings and have the preternatural ability to walk on clouds, and Earth ponies emanate theirs intuitively throughout their bodies with wild and varied results depending on their talents.
Perhaps Tank also has magic, and the mechanism works as a conduit to channel that magic into a simple looping spell. It is fastened onto his back and there is no real indication there is any kind of battery on it, so it could happen.
That, or it runs on triple A batteries, we've already seen cables either containing magic or energy. I also have a theory that only we, the viewers, can see the magic sparkles and aura, because nopony seems to notice it.
As you said in your last video, gems store magic, even though it is not visible maybe there is a gem in it and a unicorn/ alicorn made it generate the magic for the propeller!
I think it's solar powered, that's why it resembles celey's magic and it won't run out in the sun. Although rd did spin it to start it up in tanks for the memories, possibly it can be stopped to reserve the magic it runs on.
Maybe it's a magical lightening rod that attracts all magical energy from the world around him or is a spell cast by twilight that converts Sun rays into magic.
It might be running off of solar power/magic. That would explain why the aura is the same color as Celestia's, and why it seems to be self-perpetuating.
I figure that most of the technology in Equestria works on magic, like our own technology works with electricity. Magic seems to be an ever-present field in Equestria (Unicorns manipulate it with their horns, and Pegasai fly on it), so I figure that it would be kind of like what would have happened if Nikola Tesla had managed to succeed in filling the world with harmless, though easily harnessable, electricity. No need for batteries, the power is just there. One simply needs the push on the propeller of Tank's rig to start it spinning, taking the magic and using it to fly.
Nikola Tesla is my role model. I wish he had finished all of his projects. His intelligence rivaled if not surpassed that of Einstein, yet it's a little incomparable since they worked in different fields.
@Skye Silverwing I would agree but there is one exception to that. In the episode The Mysterious Mare Do Well, we see that the ponies have a hydroelectric dam. Simple flow of water generating electricity. Why the ponies of Ponyville would need such massive amounts of electricity is beyond me(maybe its shipped to Canterlot?) but it remains a fact that Ponies do in fact generate electricity without the apparent need of magic involved in the process. If I had to guess, standard electricity is used primarily for earth ponies as magic is much more prevalent and common, easier to obtain. Its possible that even pegysus ponies use some kind of electric generator in their weather/rainbow generator factory up in cloudsdale.
It is possible that the dam produces a small amount of electricity, or it could have some other purpose entirely. The thing is, the dam has proven to be very weak and poorly maintained. It also seems to entirely lack the spillways that most dams have to help prevent catastrophic failure. This suggests that it is not really that important to ponies over all. Perhaps an artifact of a bygone age, now only maintained at all because of the reservoir, rather than whatever that plant at the bottom does.
Maybe it's a concentrated form of Pegasus magic. After all, Pegasi magic enable them to fly. So maybe somepony poured a concentrated form of that magic in Tank's propeller.
My opinion is biased due to my experience with Dungeons and Dragons. Tank's propeller device was magically imbued by a powerful magic user in Equestria (unicorn, alicorn, potion-master, etc.), much in the same way that all magic items are created.
Maybe the magic aurora simbolizes the electrical flow of the propeller. When you think about it equesteria does have more magic then electricity so maybe tanks propeller was the first sign of technology in equesteria. So it might be that the "magic aurora" was symbolizes as electricity powering the propeller helping him fly with rainbow dash. If you think my theory needs a little work let me know with a reply!
Another possible explanation is that it is Tank's magic. Before you dismiss this idea, read my explanation.
What if all living creatures have magic, but only unicorns have a horn to channel this inner magic? This would explain why Tirek was a ble to take magic from earth ponies and pegasi. This would also explain how the Apple family grows apples year-round, and in, "It Ain't Easy Being Breezies," the pegasi were able to remain aloft despite not flapping any where near hard enough to support their own weight. If this is Tank's inner magic, that means that the propeller could be designed to channel his magic, allowing him to control when he wants to go higher or lower. But hey, that's just a theory. A pony theory!
I think that Celestia casted a spell that works for ever. Or it could be Snails. But who ever casted it, it must work for ever. Tell me what u think :)
If you look at it carefully we hardly know what magic IS in equestria. What IS that magic glow around the horn made of and why does it have different colours? Maybe that magic glow was made of magic essence and their sole. For example, Twilight said in pinkie keen "Magic is a representation of a ponies sole, something they practice and are born with" (Patronus charm!) see that that must mean when ether a unicorn or alicorn creates magic with there horn that must be sole or magic essence. Maybe you could talk about this in your next video. C U
Maybe they enchanted the propeller with magic or it doesn't look like it but maybe carved from a magical gem. Or like any powerful alicorn or unicorn cast a long term spell on the propeller that has a sense of sky and ground cause it also stops when he's not using it. Honestly i haven't thought this theory all the way through.
In my opinion, it runs on magical batteries. Basically, it has certain amount of magic stored on it. There exist a Yellow Glow Techie Unicorn [ Yellow Glow isn't uncommon or rreserved just to Celestia, as Snails has it, so we can assume existence of fair number of Yellow Glow Unicorns ] that can cast spells that will constantly work until magic runs out, just like battery powered equipment we use.
The question arises: this long? we didn't see it repowered! How powerful was that spell? Well, I would go as far to say it lasts for week or a few days and RD brings Tank to said YGTU for recharging every now and then ^_^
Technomancy is theoretically the art of manipulating and/or creating magic-powered artifacts through any kind of form of arcanic art that can interact with reality without being catalyzed into another form. Without stretching too far, I can list the following as arts both corresponding these criteria and widely enough spread in the various forms of RPGs I've played: Runomancy, Thaumaturgy, Telekinesis, Alchemy to some extent, few karma related arts, and technomancy itself (as the art of creating devices that reproduce or posess magical abilities).
Considering the different kinds of spells seen as canon to the series, at least three of the arcanic arts of my list are possible in Equestria, according to "The Cutie Map", "Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000" or Zecora's episode (forgot the name).
Therefore, I would't be surprised if technomancy was actually possible in Equestria ...
Oh and for the magic's color, one can probably think of dozens of ways to link the sun's light and Sunbutt's magic amirite?
Source: Playing heckloads of roleplay, both tabletop and on computer (mostly Heroes of Might and Magic). Most of what I say here is therefore purely hypothetical, probably bits of it were just squawk, but we're here to theorize.
I bet it's like a battery, but one that can charge on its own. Whenever you use it, it has the magical glow, but whenever it's resting, it's powering up. It would probably have to be a really long lasting battery though.
I think The first idea is right. I think Twilight asked Celestia to make a magic to the propeller, and it came from Celestia and it's an other kind of spell. A kind of spell that is working like if you make a muffin it will will last forever (if you don't eat is or anything like that) and will not go back into eggs sugar flour ect.
as we know all ponies have some sort of magic. its yellow. well... if not celestia it had to be......... FLUTTER SHY. as i said alll ponies have magic. flutter shy a pegasie however its spelled. and they control wind and stuff. its used on a propeller. flutter shy used her little magic to make this work.
Uhm... No... She's good with animals, and doing stuff with them was her passion, but she could've never used the magic inside of her to make this work...

It's obviously not Fluttershy. she's good with animals and since there are a million pegasi in Aquestria, you for some reason pick Fluttershy.
It can't be fluttershy. You barley see her flying in some episodes. Even in the episode in which tank went on hibernation tank's propeller was still working where it was shown that fluttershy is not using her wings.
I think that the actual propeller is magic. If I remember correctly, there are magical items in the world of my little pony like maybe the allicorn amulet and stuff. if things like gems are magical, why cant a propeller be magical, or at least have it's own magic.
I think the propeller is just a magic spinny spell or something and the spell can tell when tank wants to go for a fly and it's just a simple enchantment that a shopkeeper was selling
@The Brony Notion I'd say that the propellor itself has crystals imbedded in it, or on the inside powering it. This would also work with your theory (and mine) that all crystals have at least a bit of magic in them.
My personal theory is that it's either rainbows or fluttershys magic. I know that they are Pegasi but they still have magic. That's why they can control clouds and weather. And I also am a firm believer in the theory that the magic glow is simply a representation of magic, Not actually visible. And while there may be ways to disprove that theory I'm talking about the magic used by the pegasi. We've seen tanks copter be stoped numerous times in the show. But no spell is needed to be cast to restart it. RD just spins the top and it restarts. So honestly I think that the way it works is using the magic of RD.
You know how you said that maybe the magic might of been celestia's? Well celestia is the princess of the sun and her magic is yellow and so is the sun. Maybe the magic on tank's propeller is coming from the sun. By the way I LOVE the ending in your video.😆
Because the color of the magic is yellow this could show that the propeller is powered by the sun. This would also show why in tanks for the memorise, tank is not a very good flyer. Thanks for reading and maybe take this in mind
How does Tank's propeller works? I think that twilight used a special kind of spell that uses a different type of magic. She might've had help with another unicorn to make a different colored magic aurora. Either that or she read a book that tells you how to make a lasting kind of spell like that, after all when she used magic to have rarity to get wings her magic color was different.
In the new episode when Tank must Hibernate I noticed Dash turn the top of the spiny thing and the magic started to glow and it kept spinning so I guess the magic is stored in and until it's acted on by an outside force it doesn't work.
Wait, in a previous video, you said that you think diamonds are good containers for magic, right? What if his propeller is made of diamonds? Just a theory.
Look I think that the person that made the propeller made it to where it would store all the energy and keep it working for a long period of time. Like how solar panels work or maybe it's powered by sunlight and like I said earlier, stores the energy and powers it.
In the finale for Season 4 we see Tirek sucking all the flight power out of the pegasii. After this none of them could fly, even though nothing about their anatomy had changed. This highly suggests that pegasii flight power is a form of magic that they use primarily for flight. It wouldn't be a stretch for a unicorn/alicorn to take some of that magic from Rainbow Dash herself (who as a very strong flyer would have plenty for herself) and tie it into the propeller. And since she loves Tank, it just makes the bond stronger.
I know you're busy but perhaps you could make a video on why Celestia and Luna have flowy manes. It's quite interesting to think about, but here are my thoughts about why they have flowy manes.
Luna and Celestia raise the celestial bodies (the Sun and the Moon) whereas the other Princesses don't. The Sun and the Moon help them retain their power and give them their flowy manes. Their cutie marks are images of the celestial bodies they raise, and they have the ability to raise them. In Twilight's Kingdom, their flowy manes didn't exist no more because their power from the Sun and the Moon have been taken away from them. Alicorns who raise the celestial bodies have flowy manes. Twilight had a flowy mane when raising the Sun and the Moon in Twilight's Kingdom. Cadence and Twilight do not have flowy manes as their cutie marks are not images of the Sun and Moon, they do not usually raise the celestial bodies, and they don't have a connection with the celestial bodies too.
Also, I believe only alicorns can have flowy manes. In the Journal of the Two Sisters, the unicorns couldn't raise the Sun and Moon anymore, and so Luna and Celestia, being the only alicorns, raised the Sun and Moon, earning their cutie marks. If unicorns attempted to raise the Sun or Moon, they would be harmed, so only alicorns can do it since they are powerful. They could have obtained flowy manes later on during their lives, since it would obviously take a while to get connected to the celestial bodies.
Celestia and Luna are not immortal just because they were born alicorns. They just age at a slower rate than regular ponies thus the age of Princess Celestia and Luna. Twilight and Cadence are different, but they aren't immortal either.
Let me know what you think of my theory. I believe the Sun and the Moon in Equestria are special, like they possess a powerful magic. -Jenna
Everyone always seem to think triangles are that symbol. For the answer on Tanks flying mechine. I just think it has a small simple enchantment on it by Twilight. Anyone agree?
maybe every living organism in equestria has magic, and the propeller is harvesting magic from tank himself, This could also explain why even though ponyville is near the "equator" of equestria world, he still immediately gets ready for hibernation in the winter.
Roxy the pug Puppy rainbow dash got tank on the first season and the manic showed, flurry heart came on the fifth season, and noticing that the wedding happens after along with twilight changing into an alicorn, the season follows a chronological order, therefore flurry heart cannot exist without twilight also being an alicorn, and twilight is clearly not an alicorn during that time, so flurry heart does not fit in the choices, (wedding doesn't count unless twilight was not an alicorn at the time flurry heart was born)
Maybe celestial put that levitation spell in a gem and that was imbedded into the axis. As you said in a different episode , gems seem to be a good magic carrier . ?? Tell me what you think.
Well Mr. Notion and the rest of the commenters. You have forgotten one very critical aspect and glaring flaw that the propeller pack should be doing to poor old Tank:
Ever wonder why helicopters have tail rotors? This is to counteract the torque caused by the main rotor in flight due to friction on the axis forcing an uncontrolled rotation of the main airframe. What Tank lacks IS that tail rotor to act as an antitorque rotor.
The design of the prop pack exclude technologies such as tandem rotors, NOTAR, and coaxial rotors in the design. As such Tank would be spinning in place with almost no flight control. He'd have to be flying like an autogyro fast enough to make wind resistance counter the torque.
Maybe the propeller is electric charged by the sun. The sun's power (glow) is by Celestia, so it glows yellow. IF the sun is NOT risen by Celestia, maybe the propeller won't glow yellow afterall.
I'm betting it's a spare part for the wind generator in the weather factory, after all Dashie has access to the facility and probably had an engineers help. So what powers the weather generator is the question...Double A's maybe?
@The Brony Notion i think that tanks propeler is magic in fact that was the first thing i noticed about him, his propellers magic. but i believe this has a very simple explanation. the propeller is....ENCHANTED. we know enchanted and magical items exist in the show so is it really that hard to believe that a axle can be enchanted to spin a propeller when the tortise wearing it wants to fly upward? please reply to me with what you think about this if you see this.
yeah me neither but dont think that you need to reply to all of us we know you have school and i know how it feels trust me imgoing throuugh thea same thing right now with ya.
i dont think so but a good thought though. if it where a gem i think we could tell. im not trying to put you down but i just dont really think that thats how
yes that makes sense most of the info this little group has gathered has made it sense to believe that there is a enchantment on it but it was either done by celestia or snails it could also have a tiny gem
I have an idea.in the wedding episode shining armor used magic to form the force filed with out his horn glowing (well apart from the bit were he tells twilight about the thing)but as u say I think celestia is responsible but her horn not glowing cuz it can happen like I the wedding episode
Yeah but that glow is somepony's. Hmmmm... a few weeks ago I saw a fan art with Deroy rarity and Twillight Derpy had a machine with a metal like horn and she was levitating muffins with a yellow magical glow.....
In season five Episode Tanks for memories Tanks propellor doesn't work on magic somewhere in the episode rainbow dash spins it and it just makes the energy. So that yellow bit of 'magic' as you call is not magic it's just showing the energy that was put to spin it and make it go for a long time. You can clearly see it in that episode!!
I recon magic can be put into objects to enchant them. Because magic can be manipulated by the mind, something as simple as Tank's helicopter machine only needs to be told to be on or off, to change the velocity of the rotor and change direction and since the animals of Equestria are sentient, I don't think Tank is incapable of learning how to control such a device. I do think that the propeller won't work unless connected to a living creature. No form of magic is channelled without physical contact from the wielder: Unicorns and Alicorns need horns to channel magic, the elements of harmony need to be worn to work, Trixie's Alicorn amulet needed to be worn to work and even Discord needs the snap of his griffon claw to command his magic. From this, I believe machines run by magic need ponies controlling them to keep in operation, becoming more complex to work without pony supervision.
I think it could be like in minecraft enchanted objects but this time celestia could have solved the problem of tank not flying by enchanting the spell because when the blades aren't spinning well its not glowing
@***** there is allways some kind of explanation for everything, even in cartoons, and you are wrong bud, he is a bright thinker and very interesting points at that. so yea.
Same here, and lol beg to differ... been a long time seeing that in a text. Any who, thinking hard in something can be fun if you know what you are talking about.
Ok, well I am done I just... don't care anymore I have no more feeling of caring about anything even myself. So thank you for texting me..... I don't deserve to have friends anyways. sorry I have to put that down just... need to let something out other than crying in my sleep everyday.
While it's not often shown, "Residual Magic" is pretty common throughout fiction, and easy to cast. Especially a residual spell for "Keep this object spinning.". While a magical catalyst is also viable, such as Lacrima, Gems (as you've hypothesized.) or even magical capacitors, there does not appear to be a location for such a capacitor on Tank's heli...belt....thingie. Residual magic is the most likely, but for some reason, the usually common residual spells (Enchants fall under this) are strangely unseen in MLP, while the few times they are, seem to harken to Celestia and Starswirl the bearded. It's possible that this perticular form of magic just didn't gain popularity in Equestria, and other regions it did. It would explain why Celestia and Starswirl (Avid adventurers if the comics are canon) would have the knowledge of it. But you showed in your video yourself, magic in MLP seems to be colored not by the caster, but the creator of the magic. While simple movement spells are second nature to a Unicorn and therefore can be cast on sight, more complex spells, the kind in spellbooks, and Alicorn magic change color to the original creator of that form of magic. Twilight when she's trying to transform the stones into clothes for Spike, her horn glows not purple, her color, but white. Meanwhile in the crystal empire when twilight uses her Alicorn magic to open Sombre's castle her horn glows black, akin to Sombre's magic.
Did you notice that in the wedding episode, during Twillights flash back, the husband that was arguing with his wife looked just like Discord ( except for the different cutie mark )when he was disguised as a pony?I think it was just a mistake but maybe you can figure something out.
Easy. Any creature in equestria has ambient magic field. All this thing does, it helps to channel it, maybe even amplify a bit. Copter doesn't work when Tank is not wearing it, and there is no off switch, but it CAN be off even when Tank wears it. You can't turn off your ambient field, but if copter binds with it so closely, it effectivly becomes part of you. This thingy gotta be very expensive, because it would be perfect for prosthetics.
I have never seen any indication that objects can't be imbued with their own magic, such as the Sunset Shimmer's book, grand galloping gala tickets from S01 E03 (this is why they float with the earth ponies, they were magically imbued to tag along with the ponies they belonged to), and of course Tank's helicopter. However, I can't seem to think of many other examples where this happens, and the things where it does are often connected with Celestia. It may be that to do such things either need a lot of energy (alicorn magic) or are incredibly complicated, and so very few ponies know how to do it (and Celesta is one of the few who can).
It's what equestrian electricity looks like. Even the EG universe has differences from equestria, such as many of the problems depicted in the show could not possibly have happened. Perhaps this is just one among many differences.
Also, electricity can be compared to magic in the ways it works.
maybe celestia put a spell on the thing and the spell lets it work when tank feels like flying...and the spell probably gets its magic not from celestia but from the sun.
Has anypony read Eragon? The book with the dragons and the evil wizard? I think that tank's propeller either runs of energy stored in a jewel or is stolen from Tank himself, seeing as he himself really doesn't have to move.
It's not a spell. It's an enchantment. There are plenty of objects in the FiM world that are enchanted. Sunset Shimmer's book, the Alicorn Amulet, Spike's comicbook, the Rings of Scorchero, Meadowbrook's eight items, etc. Twilight studied magic intensly for years, so it's NOT hard to surmise that she could have easily have made an enchanted object with a self-targeting spell as simple as spinning one end being the result. The harness probably needs occasional recharges, but Rainbow Dash has 2 magic wielders as BFF's that could do it for her whenever the magical charges run low.
Well...1) Solar Power. Which IS Celestia's thing sorta. Probably also collects some to a battery when not in use.2) Sometimes it seems like TANK is controlling it. Especially Tanks for the memories, and Tank being too tired to concentrate.
Ok. I have 3 very good video ideas. 1. How come Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon ONLY pick on the crusaders? I mean, there are other ponies like Dinkie Doo that don't have their cutie marks. 2. Is chrysalis even a PONY? It doesn't look lime she has a cutie mark, and I remember you did a video that said why do only PONIES have cutie marks, and not griffons and mules, but the only acception is Discord. Well, what about Chrysalis???? 3. Why are there so many animation errors in this show?? Of all the shows I've seen, this one has the most animation errors.
If I think of anything else I'll let you know. But if you could do a video on at least ONE of these things, it would mean a lot to me. I'm a BIG fan.
The tickets from season one, the Ticket Master, glowed like this at the end of the episode as they were being dealt out to all the ponies by no one in particular. The same color too.
I'm surprised they didn't make those George-the-steamroler snowplows run on steam. if we grew out of steam in 1985 they can surely make it in ponyville!
My headcanon on this matter is that objects can be permanently enchanted. My reason is the "house of enchanted comics" from power ponies. The comic was enchanted with magic that pulled the mane six and spike into the story!
I think the propeller spinning powers the axel like a wind turbine the axel then powers the propeller like your idea of a repeat spell it started with the axel and then created a cycle
This is still broken anyways... In a normal helicopter, the rotor would spin, and then so would the blades attached to it. But that rotor isn't moving...
You can say that the rotor mast is only there to keep the blades and the other part together, and that the blades are loose and can rotate around it's tip. But then the blades should glow, not the rotor, so...
I believe it is a stored magic device for the propeller, in tanks for the memories, Rainbow dash had to spin the propellers to make it work. when it spins it keeps going until it stops with some kind of force like stopping a toy top. A magic generator probably
Its obvious that tank is the source of the magic, how else would he control where he is going. maybe a unicorn cast a spell on him that allows him to use magic, but only on the propeller
Ok I just starte the video and don't know the answer yet. But I suppose it could just be an eternal state of Celestia's magic. I mean, Nighmare Moon has the same power as her, but couldn't come back from the moon alone, which means Celestia would have had to hold the spell up for all the time Luna was banished. But we never saw anything of that on her horn, which means, that she maybe cast a spell which stays like it is by itself. To do a favour to Dashie, she'd do the same because it's doesn't require any strength. Let's see if I'm right ;)
It's probably not just a spinny spell. In order to go where Tank wants to go, or to not be blown back by random breezes, it has to actively change the blade pitch on different blades, very rapidly. And there must be something there to counteract the torque or, when the propeller spun in one direction, Tank would spin in the other direction. It's technical and sophisticated and probably far more complex and danger-prone than it needs to be. So I'll assume Twilight made it.
I have a theory about diamond tiara's mom.do you remember that mare that looks like diamond tiara but older in ''read it and weep'' if you look her you can see A LOT of simular looks they share. Same coat color, blue eyes, and same hair color. It would also explain why we don't see her mom often but with her dad instead because she's busy in the hospital. (I think Hasbro's keeping a secret again ;-) !!)
actually, pegasi and earth ponies have magic, they just dont use it in the same way. so i think it rainbow dash's pegasus magic that causes the propeller to spin.
well you know how only selesteas and lunas hair does that speashal wavy thing? i think its something like that. you can espeshaly see it with lunas hair that it almost looks like its constantly surround by her magic, it could have started out as practice by constantly having to have the spell up, that could explane why they are both so good at magic, and if so, it wouldn't be so hard for selestea to have this going the same time as her hair beacas shes doing it all the time anywase without even thinking about it, and if she can comand the sun from so far away range wont be a problem and she never realy looks at her hair ether to keep the spell up if she is, so she wouldn't have to be able to see it. sorry bou't my spelling
It could be that tank has magic and some how is propelling it himself. Or rainbow dash is controlling it by her own magical abilities since all ponies have their own amount of magic, as shown by Tirek's episode. (Don't remember the name. Twilights kingdom? Maybe)
how about, since friendship is magic, maybe rd's magic of love and friendship is powering it. I mean in 2 episodes, RD is shown to L-O-V-E, love Tank so since (i'll say it again,) (in the literal sense,) friendship(or love) is magic that could power it.
I think its the gems that store magic was made into the piece that turns the propeller and it can use the magic again and again and the magic turns on when it starts to spin like in the episode tank for the memories
Hi Brony Notion, I just watched your changeling video and thought about what you said like one of the mane six being a changeling...aaaaand the pony that came up on my mind was Applejack! Why her? Because in one episode Applejack sang a lullaby to Applebloom and the line "Cutiemark won't change you, no matter what ya get..." Wich is what caused Applebloom's infinite nightmare thingy, because she kept thinking about it. And Applejack is probably a changling who's doing this on purpose so she could drive her crazy and start chaos in Ponyvulle but maybe,just maybe Princess Luna knew this and went into Applebloom's dream and saved her.Even in if Troubleshoes was innocent,she went all angry on him!
usually i would say "it's just a pony Show on TV and the animators can do whatever they want" (even if that's propably right) but i was wondering about that too. why did they do this. it's really strange. i think it's a Kind of magic wenn don't know. i mean we know the magic of friendship, unicorn magic, alicorn magic and "natural magic" weich zecora uses (sorry, i'm sure i forgot one or more). but there are propably kinds of magic wenn don't know (yet).
since they're technology is growing. Maybe they're tech will become so advanced, that they will forget about magic altogether and start relying on they're tech more then they did with they're magic.
Write back if you agree with my version of Equestrias future.
Now, hear me out ok? This is my first theory. It may be solar powered! Now Tank's propeller glows yellow, the color of the Sun. Also, you never see Tank flying at night.
Tanks propeller is probably powered by a gem. somepony might've loaded the gem full of magic and put in in the bottom of tanks propeller. when it runs out, Rainbow has to take it back to the somepony and get it loaded again. ^-^
Maybe Rainbow Dash can, in a weird sort of way, use magic. We've all most likely seen her give Tank's propeller a slight push so it will rotate, and the one time I did, immediately after, the magical aura appeared. Maybe I'm right, maybe Brony Notion's right. Who knows?
You know how on the smooze video you said that crystals can contain magic well what if they had a crystal inside of the propeller or underneath that cap to start the magic and make it fly
when i saw in winter wrap up how aj didn't know twilight used magic, i thought maybe the reason why they show the bubles there is so no one would get confused. Cause we can see them but yet ni the show the ponies dont also i was thinkin couldn't Twilight make a spell where the propelers went the direction tank wanted it to go? Think about it or them
Just a thing, but maybe the magic is coming from Tank himself? I don't know, but maybe some types of animals like Tank can use magic. But he doesn't have a Cutiemark because only ponies do. Or maybe he has one, but... I dunno. Possibly a special type of turtle? So the magic is powering the propeller, and the magic is coming from tank. But he doesn't have a horn. Well, someponies think that Earth ponies have magic. But, they don't have horns. Maybe that's the same with Tank? Just a thought, anyways.
I just had a crazy idea... "How it's made" in Equestria. no plot. no conflict. just that lady from "How it's Made" narrating to us how an ordinary obiect is made in Equestria.
I think I know why when a unicorn does magic or a alicorn does magic it goes out into the air maybe then probably the propeller catches the magic in the air and maybe it just turns yellow? Idk what do you think?
did you see the clip of episode 100, well can you express upon the point that triple diamond used to be the planner and her job was "taken" when twilight sparkle came. and she was delighted to plan for the "bride", do you think she has some dirt on twilight sparkle and maybe they'll have some conflict in the future.
Celestia's Magic from rising the sun flows threw the air into the propeller there for he can fly OR its Twilight's magic from when she built the propeller and it changed color in the contraption
What if the axis between the metal part that tank wears is enchanted like an artifact if earth ponies and other sentient species like changlings can use artifacts why can't tank
the reason that tanks pepeller works like that is bc hes awesome id love to have a pet like that lol not just bc ov his personality but he can make my cat go wimp instead ov hiss xd
has anyone noticed twigligt´s cutie mark represents the elements of harmony. there i five small stars around the big, so six stars six elements. i mean there is a connection!
Prepare yourself, for I shall explain magic with science!!!! as @emotionless TwilightS said, all living things have magic inside them. Well, tank's helicopter rotor can pull the "magic" from his brain when he thinks something. Because the brain is just a bunch of electrical conduits in our universe, what if it was magic conduits along with electrical conduits in the MLP universe.
That way tank could control his helicopter thing with just thought while powering it with the thought as well, the magic part of his brain could be fueling it while the electric part of his brain controls it.
You may be asking "how is he in control over it when it's not on his head?" And to that, I say "YOUR BODY IS THE CONDUIT!!"
As for why he can do it, rainbow dash probably just asked someone to enchant a propeller so that it will spin when the controller wants it to. Not to sure on that bit.
OVER ANALYSIS POWERS ACTIVATE!!!!

Snails magic is yellow in boast buster but then when snails is playing for team ponyvill it’s purple what’s up there?
Why does the book has got magic?- its enchanted. THe elements of harmony gems?-they are enchanted Things moving?-enchanted for a short timeline. I say they are encahnted to move. but just for a little time, because the Unicorns need their magic back, thats why most of the uniicorns aren't able to perform more than one spell, they haven't got enough magic energy Tanks propeller? enchanted by Celestia, gave a small part of her magic energy in it, making it moving forever.
Could you do a video based on luna's mane. In twilight's Kingdom we see Luna turning into nightmare moon with her flowing hair, but when she is reformed she has plain hair. Why?
Maybe is a auto generating spell which grab magic from the world itself to sustain it, anyway only is to move to Tank orders. That be started by Celestia and held it for the world´s natural magic
ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED! Also, my theory is that he gets solar energy from the sun and when he takes the propeller off the energy powers down. Maybe that's how Celestia's magic works without using her horn?
A Changeling also has magic although it is not a real pony. Beetles and so on. Timberwolfs, Tirek, Breeze and some other things also, can do the same. Can the dragon Spike actually pure? Fire mile and so? Could it be Tank has magic too? But only with the help of other things for something to use? Just as dog Spike in which an Equestria girls film as the men Twilight has stolen the magic of the other?
Did you notice celestia s magic is the same color as the sun representing her duty but when twilight told the cms about her cutie mark story celestia s magic is clear white not yellow but a thousand years before that her magic was yellow , what ? can you please make a video about this
I really don't know but I think we're all getting into this tank propeller thing to much. Who knows the show is confusing it could be anything a spell that lasts forever a jem that stores magic or who knows it could be pinky pie for all we know because well it's pinky but who really knows am I right.
In three's a crowd Cadances health bubble thingy lasted without Cadance using magic the whole time so maybe hard spells like giant force fields you actually have to do it all the time but in a canterlot wedding shinning armor only did the spell every few hours and that cutie mark crusaders newspaper video twilight's force field and 1000 other examples so this doesn't make sense
I think with the theory that gems can save Magic from a Pony its posible that in the Thing is a smal magical gem and becase a Rotation isnt complicadet the gem is can be realy smal becase Not a lot of Magic is in need
repeating enchantment, cast spell (rotate, tap into magic stored in object, repeat) then attach the enchantment to a physical object, or the axel, ta da
it could be possible that rainbowdash did it i noticed when rainbowdash spins it the magic starts to glow which brings me to my next question can ponies without horns have the same magic as unicorns
I have a theory that Aria from rainbow rocks is Starlight Glimmer from season 5! Its because I think hasbro either didn't have another design, thought of naming Starlight Glimmer Aria, OR its jut all in my mind :p
your theory is quite wrong,you see you know the alicorn amulet? when trixey wore it her aura was red.so i belive the propeller is glowing yellow cause the spell is meant to be everlasting.
can u do a theory about: 1.what of the mirror connecting equestria and the human world broke? I know that twilight sparkle found a way to connect the world through the book, but what if the mirror broke? would the statue in front of canterlot high be affected? how? and 2. where do the people in the human world live? like what city? and where is it? is it on earth? or somewhere else? and 3. how the ponies came to be? like a creation story? and 4. how did the human world connect to equestria? did susnset shimmer do it to get to the world? and if so, how did she know about it? I know that this is a lot of suggestions, but I would really appreciate it if u would do a theory of these theories!
Maybe Tank's propeller is like a windmill it powers it self in tanks for memories rainbow had to stars tank's propeller when she stared it he took off and the magic around it stared
In a world where Pinkie writes the book of physics, Perpetual motion might just exist allowing the tankcopter to run.but hay that's just a theory, A PONY THEORY.
I knew you would do this video! I have been wondering the same thing ever since I saw that episode. But all I came up with is that it has magical spell on it that the queen casted to make it fly because Rainbow dash is one of her student's best friend's. P.S I did this only 33 sec in on the video. Also THE QUEEN stand's for princess Luna's older sister because I didn't know how spell her name
Ok as we know all pony have some sort of magic (ink roses video) so maybe animals have some sort of magic and that machine amplified he's magic but as we know if twilight uses too much magic she gets tired so that's why we see rainbow carrying tank so much
Do is Celestia and Luna artificial allicorn? If all alicorms have to earn their wings, or horn, that means celestia and Luna did too. Earn their allicorn powers. That means they were either unicorn or Pegasus then turned into alicorns. That means not born an allicorn!
The magic might be that dome no no wrong picture not that shell but that dome it has space for the source right? So it might be the source in the dome its collecting magic and storing it in a chest its like storing items in a invisble chest
clearly it;s a magical conductor and the magic drawn into it makes the propeller spin,however it only works when it;s connected to tank since he controls it. but it's just a theory...a Magic theory...sorry had to do it ^_^;;;
I thought it ran on pegasus magic. Now before anyone jumps down myyhroat i do wanna point oit the pegasus do jave and use a type of natural magic, however they themselves cannot harness it normally. (on a second theory i believe rainbow dash's sonic rainboom is actaully sparked by her tapping into her nayural unicorm magic, like when Toph first bent metal, you have to want it to tap inyo that kind of power) while i do agree some unicorn or alicorn magic was probably putinto the top to keep spinning, i belive thefact that it can turn and change direction is do to Rainbow Dash herself leaking Pegasus magic (because she is the only unicorn who has ever tapped into it and her natural need for speed meantshe never learned to fully contain it.
Maybe the axel is made out of gems. Or maybe it is a 'pinkie problem. That's what I call things that don't have explanation. Also, maybe it has to do with star swirl the bearded. We don't really know much about him so maybe.
im thinkning, its like the glowing thing is full of magic, maybe if tirek came back he could eat the magic (not saying he will but if he did than my theory is correct) maybe the same with the book. im bad a theories so yeah
Who else thinks that in the series finale all of the mane 6 will become princesses? Applejack: Princess of Honesty Rainbow: Princess of loyalty Fluttershy: Princess of kindness Rarity: Princess of generosity Pinkie pie: Princess of laughter
@thebronynation Can you please explain why there are 5 stars on Twilights CM I believe its because of her destiny with her friends but im not to sure thank you if you do /) ~Flora
@The Brony Notion What do you use to animate your videos? My friend in I are trying to make an OC for ourselves, but, All I can use is MS Paint, and that takes FOREVER
Oh oh! Do a video where you analyze what would happen if discord could control the Everfree forest in other words it is his home and he can only control the Everfree forest to feel more at home for his natural chaos!!!!!!!
Just wondering, can two ponies have the same cutie mark? But, not like the last episode of season 3. But have the same cutie mark as their permanent cutie mark...
1 no electricrty in equstria and 2 it could be a light so if it glows it mightbe easyer to see because you know it cloud be hard to see up their so that must be it and twilight might have casted it and yellow would be easier to see than pink since it is magic and we saw clours change before like trixie with the amulent and rairty and the book and sweetie bell with the black things from the forset so it could be mabye on porpse for that magic too
I don't think that the magic is from the book. Because the first time we saw tank rainbow roks wasn't out yet and twilight wouldn't of none about it yet.
Btw the book has a spell the princess celestia casted so sunset shimer can send her message for a book thats y she can go to the pony world to the human world
Btw i dont kjow if this correct but this is my theory like if u agree or dislike if u dont I dont care if u all disagree u can come up with ur own theorys
i was so looking forward for your videos i just found out about this channel and just subed and watched alot of vids but u have made so many so u do need a break and plus good luck on those test u said about
I thank it's Rambo dash. Because I disagree that only unicorns can use magic. This is because well, all types are magical or can use magic somehow. No one said that only unicorns can use magic that way. So Rambo dash is always around this little turtle it can only be her magic. 🐉
Do some ponies change their name to match their cutie mark? Not all parents name their children by going to the future right? How do the parents know if they don't know the talent.
Theory: Friendship is Magic. Tank' s friendship with Rainbow Dash. Celestia' s Sun coloured magic, the sun in the sky, Celestia raises the sun, probably Sun magic. Snails doesn't know Tank. Unicorns/ alicorns can use they're magic for a long time like cadence, but the horn can regenerate. Meh, Idk.
They have every kind of technology, even magic.Why don't they have any phones?I mean twilight's machine (that you putted in your video)is much more difficult to make than JUST A PHONE!?WTF?!
What about stars for the bearded his magic is yellow and it looks like he's able to do that kind of spell because he's a powerful wizard you know what I mean size what is your real name
Remember in the episode when ponyvill was up next for winter? Well, remember when Rainbow dash spun tank's pepellor ?Well, so when Rainbow dash spun it the magic came on.Watch the episode.
This yellow orange magic is also used in the episode were they all get there tickets from the grand galloping gala and its used on apple jacks ticket?!?!?!?😱😁😐
+Viki roblox maybe on the inside is a small gem that stores magic. the motion of the propellor automaticly replenses that magic. like the batterij for a car.
Ok I have to say that we'll it's a magical world, yes unicorns have the most magic appearance, but it's been said "we are all magic" including other ponies. So probably turtles too, like if you put a device on it the magic would flow. But I've got one other idea
Rambo dash uses her magic too control it!!!!!!!!!
Like I said They are all magical and Rambo dash is all ways around him!!!!!!! 😱
Look at the tree of harmany right below the magical simble of twilight thar is a sun but it is not the princess of the suns simble it could be sunset shimmers new element
I want to make this one comment,ok.... if you look at the pie family and Octavia, Pinkie's sister (not Maud) looks like Octavia. Same color of coat, same color of main and tail. I wonder if Pinkie's sister is Octavia, I mean she looks a lot like her. Could of Pinkie's sister left the "Rock Farm" and been Octavia? What do you think 'The Brony Notion'?
that's one huge mystery no one knows what is causing that magic this mystery will never be solved because people don't know what is the magic coming from its not even coming a pony I'm sure of it. This case is mysterious, if a pony was causeing that magic there should be one walking and using it to move tank's propeller, but there is't one so that means that the problem is that the magic never was coming from a pony not even a book like what u said was coming from.
Perhaps the propeller was enchanted just like Spike's comic or Sunset's book. Also tortoise doesn't have 6 letters and Tank is a tortoise, not a turtle, he has legs,not flippers.
hi the brony notion I think it may have something ti do with the episode the ticket master watch 22:02 they were able to get their tickets even the non unicorns because all of them has friendship and friendship = magic
What about in the comic MLP adventures in friendship volume one chapter one Rainbow Dash were there were several pages of a hydro attachment on both sides of Tank's propeller.
I was about to protest about notion not posting videos until I remembered he was having a break for finals but what I did not know about is that last part the Illuminati part lol
Wait.. How did Sunsets book ever get to the pony world? Shouldn't a letter have woodshed into Celestias face, like Twilights messages (sent by spike). It makes sense, (ish) because Twilight made a new portal to Canterlot High. But that was after she received the book. Speaking about how the book got there, wasn't it supposed to go to Celestia? Instead of on Twilights book cart sort thing? Oh, and how did the librarian working for Twilight not get spooked or something by the book just teleporting there? But we don't know if he did, because he was off screen. If he did get spooked by the book, he would have said something like 'Uh.. Your Highness.. Your order of books includes one glowin' n' buzzin'. Are you expecting this? It spooked me..'. But again, we don't know that! Share your thoughts in the comment below this comment.. (?) Thanks for reading!
It might be from the book but also whatever the of the cutie mark the color the magic light twilights cutie mark is pink so is the glow but snails is pink and teal but the glow is yellow so how does that work
I saw an episode.. tank was sitting on the floor.. with rainbow dash and fluttershy.. tank propeller was not running.. when rainbow dash left with tank she turnd on the propeller by turning it.. then the magic came.. and tank and rainbow dash went away
A Unicorn's Horn does not "Create" magic, but simple is a 'channel' for magic, used to collect focus and channel said powers from within and the world without.
Objects when given enchantments and other such devices could well be said to be able to be give such a property, to 'Gather Focus and Channel' such powers that be given use of 'magic' even to usual non-magicusers, like an Earthy or a Turtle. (lol) - Such are my 2 bits. /)'
Also wouldn't so much say "Clash" as much as "Mesh" with Magic and Tech, and I dare to say that copter I bet ya was in some degree "fueled" or run by magic basic mechanics, like a Combustion or Electric one would be for us. *(or would using magic would be for us if 'Magic' were real for us the same)
And as for the source being gathered off of, I would go to say something akin to the 'Gem Battery' and 'the air/world' at large is not a bad idea. Their world is saturated by and with "Magic" at large, so simply gathering enough of the ether to run a small propeller system would be simple enough, imo
1. TWLIGHT said there were two portals but there are actully 3 portals! Cause Luna and celestia have a sister who is the mother of cadence (not prince blue blood)
2. Can there really be humans in equestria? The last video horses were saddles so there might be humans not only in canter lot but equestria!
Think back to ticket master when Tia gives the mane 6 the tickets there is The it's glow around it the same glow as tanks perpeler could that mean something BN?
WOAH! TWIST ENDING! didn't see that coming! but seriously you didn't have to say that. every single time someone sees a triangle, they go: OMG! YA GUYS SEE THAT! OMG OMG OMG! ILLUMINATI!
Let's look at someone more likely. Princess celestia. Me:CALLED IT! I honestly think that tank is just from some other dimension and is maaaaaaagiiiiiicccccccc
Um .....ok thin .....well maybe that yellow looking magic Glo is just electricity working because lightning is kind of yellowish maybe it's just thim going into the technology stage?
i have a reqest for an episode i ask if nightmare moon had to be turned back to luna by the elements then why in luna eclips she turned to nightmare and the back to luna with out the elements?
I know off topic, but how does scootaloo pull two ponies and her self if she can't fly? I mean one scooter, herself, and two ponies on skies. I would understand if they were on skate board, but they weren't. Im confused 😐!
I wondering if things that happens in equestria happen to the human ones like maybe that episode when rainbow dash did them try outs for them flying things so it will be that for like football or something sports like
just thought about pinkie’s propellor- yk that one where rainbow dash spent more time with gilda? It was a bicycle with a propeller which made her float like what- ;-;
(its more of a tanish color and if you mix green and pink it would make a tan color)so I think twilight might have put a spell on tank giving him powers. and what I mean by pink witch is twilight's magic and tank is green and so tank produced his own magic because of twilight's spell she probuly did of screen with rainbow and tank.
Someone did a fan comic where it turns out that Tank's propeller is actually the beanie that 'Screwball' had in The Return of Harmony part 2. http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/File:%22Screwball%22_floats_by_grey_Twilight_on_the_street_S2E02.pngWhile it doesn't look exactly like it what if it was, and was a lingering after effect of chaos magic? After all what else goes against nature and causes shocked stares like a flying tortoise?
I can't believe he didn't do one on "Legons of Griffenstone". Ps this was a little random And this wasn't his greatest work ahem So yeah And next time do one on griffenstone
Remember the video were you made the idea with one of the mane six being a changing imposter and using a star trek comparison what about the end of the episode bats from season 4 where fluttershy still has a fang what creature from a two parter has fangs changlings dun dun DUN!
Could you find a therie for the this day aria when she says shining armor will be and then chrisallis says mine but what will she say if we heard her? please do a vid on it
I think it is caused by magic it was given by pricess celestia and pricess twightlight cause it won't last forever without to spells never ending magic and spinning cuause there are only to alcorn's that might know the spell I don't know if cadence or and Luna who know maybe it's onther thing to ask Luna
3:00 rly? u forgot important info. 1st theres no #IlluminatiSimbolism in the scene but not only has snazzy (snails) been part of the movie, but in one of the episodes he and snips said this about the ursa minor "It took us a long time to get that thing back here" he could be responsible for this but snails barely uses his magic. and how did tank get to rainbow dashs location under 3 mins? its impossible! so maybe snails CHEATED so maybe snails is behind this. (although ur candy corn theory on the CMC's was accurate lol)
Brony notion, you are my favorite brony. I try to be like you at my last video but that wasn't so good. I thought of another theory that will be posted on my channel later. Check my channel out. Thx
hey brony notion I just found out something every pony has a cutie that is like there name twilightsparkle has a sparke as a cutie mark and applejack rarity u get the point so what does that mean
omg in sesone 3 rainbow made the thing spin just by touching it and so humm i think electricity so you know how the things that record your hart beat those are run off of electricity so now you know that electricity is possible so ya P.S. i love the ending
it's magic of RD look, when TR take magic from ponies he take magic from unicorns, but alsow from pegazus and erth ponies. end look when at the moment when this "mashine" RD turn on... she juts turn it and it's start to work so i thing that it's magic form RD :D P.S. sorry for my Eanglish...
Excuse me. Not to upset you, but Tank is a tortoise not a turtle (pointed out by Fluttershy). So illuminati not confirmed. Plus the light can be like that annoying light in your air conditioning. It's a way to know its on.
or MAYBE THE PEOPLE WHO MADE TANKS PROPELLER AKA THE MLP CREATORS JUST PUT THAT THERE SO THEY WOULD NOT GET FANS COMPLAINING THAT TANKS PROPELLER IS WELL.. ILLUMINATY CONFIRMED?!?!!??!??!?
@Megan W Okay, this is the only way I can comment for some reason, but when I first saw the episode I swear there was a part about Lyra gearing up Tank. I looked back and was astounded to find no such scene. The color of Lyra's magic matches the aura in Tank's propeller. Wouldn't it make sense that the propeller is powered by the pony who's special talent is inventing? Just something I'd like to share. If you could re-coment this somehow it would be greatly appreciated. =)
Ok shut up with the triangle jokes we get it you are scared and also can you make a video on the top 5 most hate full ponies in season5 so far . For me the most hate full pony is tree hugger
Is it NOT easy to teleport Fink about it In twilights kingdom whos it NOT easy to teleport but she cut easy fit terek and twilight hav NOT teleport that mutch ind the show ples Cink about it and look at my noder toppic under your snuset summer video for 2 weeks ago
+RAINBRO DASH Hey this is what he enjoys let the guy do what he wants also some of this stuff is correct. If you think making cartoon theories is bad the internet disagrees with you
If i persently tink abaut it,i wode say its magic,if you tink abaut it rainbow dash got her cutie mark when se first did the sonic rainboom,maiby it hase a conection maiking her cutie mark reprisent magic,only the magic of flaying.If so it wode explain a lot,the rainboom is made by not any magic but pegasus magic or the magic of flaying,it toke a pony to "flay" rely fast making it tooo fast by creiting magic,and the rainboom wode be the simbul of it.Alsow,have you notest in trainbow roocks dat pinkie pie reprisents the coler pink,twilight reprisented the coler purple,rainbow dash blue,green going to reraty for the still caunted eliment of inspiraisen,fluttershy yelow but they cudent defide the dezlingz widaut red,reprisented by sunset shimmer.And in the season 4 finaly the mane 6 were "rainbow"fide.knaw with season 5 talking abaut cutie marks it maith explain the conscioun with dash's cutie mark.The rainbow beang the simbel of magic so much cude iven bekame its on magic,the rainbow magic(and rainbow dash wode be it's princess!!!)its my explaining by the way,i wode like you tink abaut this
Look at the hypothesis that discord in pony from is ether starswald or a gyi with a tornado cute mark but look at akestrea girls in the move their was a tornado warning gye thar a lot so cold this bee the discord in the human world 📝📚📉📊📊📊📊📊📮it all ads up with other hypothesis 📮📉
Ugh...illuminati jokes? Seriously? Not cool dude..not cool. The illuminati is a serious problem in the real world, not something to joke about. I like ur vids and everything, but no jokes like that anymore. I say that the people making these illuminati jokes are ridiculous (to some degree) and shouldn't joke about that kinda stuff...😒 it's sad that we laugh at something so serious
I've come to recognize magic as a sort of electricity, meaning that while it's very possible for a creature (ie unicorns or alicorns) to generate it, it also can work like electricity and be conducted through wires. This is my personal headcanon on the matter:
There's a gemstone in the heart of the device, concealed from view. There's an magitrician (magic electrician) in Ponyville that has a shop that builds and sells machines like that. They're calibrated so they can recognize their owners' wishes, so Tank can control it. The magitrician's Magic aura is yellow, like celestia's and the aura of the helicopter axle.
I have heard theorists say that gems and jewels contain magic within, maybe this powers it. Another possibility is that all creatures possess magic and though they can't use it on there own the machine can still help use it. The final possibility I have considered is that it feeds off its environment, powering it.
I would like to draw your attention to something else, in the ticket master towards the end, non-unicorns were shown levitating the tickets using a gold aura. I think that the tickets were enchanted in such a way to enable non unicorns natural magic to be transform into telekinsis for the purpose of levitating the tickets. Tanks propeller was enchanted in such a way for him to be able to magically manipulate the propeller to spin, and perhaps lean. Gold might be the default color for non-unicorn magic.
Regarding Tank's propeller, the headcanon I adapted for it has always been similar to your idea about looping spells. Since magic and technology BOTH exist, it seems possible that they clash and work together in some ways. I always believed that the propeller was a buyable object for wingless pegasi pets, wherein the item is imbued with the spell already and is activated/looped through special circumstances (i.e. when Tank stops moving, the spell stops and if the propeller is started by hand/hoof, the spell activates.)
I was going to say: maybe it harvests magic from the sun and thus is solar-powered? Remember that, at least according to me, magic pervades everything in Equestria, so Celestia, being the princess of the sun, could probably cast some sort of spell to soak up the sun's rays.
Maybe it IS the case of just enchanting an item? Twilight's "want it, need it" spell is also proof that items themselves can be enchanted, then they become magic on their own to serve a single purpose without the unicorn/alicorn, etc. needing to actively use magic anymore.
in the episode, i saw RD spin the propeller, and then the axle glowed yellow. my theory is that someone (most likely Celestia, thank you) cast a spell on the propeller that, whenever the blades are spun, it activates the spell
as for deactivating the spell, maybe it's set up with a weight sensor. since Tank's whole weight is hanging from it, it wouldn't be impossible for it to shut off once it recognizes that the weight it reads is no longer Tank's limp body weight
I think there's probably a small gem inside the spindle/axle. It either harvests energy from the general magic of Tank's surroundings or is strong enough to just provide it. It might even be rechargeable.
So gems and minerals gems seem to have a lot of magic in them as seen through the show and in plenty of the notions other videos. But minerals... They're similar to gems in many ways so do they have some properties of magic as well? So maybe tanks propeller axle is made out of a mineral that can conserve magic once it's cast (like a charge) and loop it.
My theory is that it could have been simply enchanted, like other objects such as comics, toys, and even brooms. I do think that Twilight drew the magical energy from the book to power the machine. That book was enchanted by Celestia, I presume, but the aura it had was magenta, as of Twilight's. This means they could have gotten another unicorn to enchant it, but who-ever draws away power, will have the drawer's aura. What do ya think, Notion? Also, you should do a face reveal at the next milestone!
In all seriousness, it should be possible to store magic, or more specifically units of magic, or mana, in certain objects, such as gems. We have seen objects being imbued with magic (Flim and Flam with the Cider Squeezy), and also magic transference between objects (the book you mentioned). It should thus be possible to store mana inside objects. After all, how else would you get powerful Artifacts like the Elements of Harmony or lesser enchanted items like the Alicorn Amulet?
Now I'm going to go into fanfic territory, specifically my own: Thirdson Gearhead of Herd Verdant has an unusual ability for an Earth Pony, which makes him a skilled gadgeteer and inventor. He has tinkered with quite a bit of technology purely in the interest of making life easier for the ponies around him, especially his family. He has made a plethora of farming equipment with improved mechanisms for them. In Ponyville, Gearhead continues to make gadgets for different ponies, and he sells them to him. One of his gadgets you have all seen by now? Tank's propeller and its harness. That's why the blades can bend when they impact someone or somepony, but they do not break or injure anypony: Gearhead designed them that way.
As to the magic, despite Gearhead's ability to manipulate mana, which he learned near the end of First Gear, that golden aura does not belong to him: his is turquoise. Instead, Gearhead asks other Unicorns to recharge the selection of the gadgets he has made that run on magic as part of their payment for the things he sells them. Different Unicorns are available to do the favour at different times, so the aura is not always yellow, but whenever we see Tank using the propeller it's usually somepony with a golden aura. And often enough, it's Princess Celestia herself who is available to do the deed -- although most often that's because Gearhead has gone to Canterlot or training, and not because Tia came to Ponyville.
As a side-note, I do not believe all ponies can see magic auras, otherwise somepony could have easily identified Cadenza as not-Cadence. Some ponies do have abilities or techniques which allow them to do this, though. For example, the Third Conclave of Flowing Shadows has a magic technique called Shift Focus that directly affects vision through the eyes. It is a well-guarded secret, so not all Unicorns have it, however Dusk and Dawn Shadow did teach it to Gearhead because they were friends. At the time Gearhead still couldn't use magic at all, but they still taught him. And now he can use the technique, which helps him suss out which Unicorn has done what spell.
Tank could be acting as a battery for the device or perhaps it has an ability to store a magical charge. Storing a charge would mean that a creature able to exert magic would have to fill it or perhaps, like someone else mentioned, the potential for solar power.
Here is my theories the magic comes from Tank himself Everything has magic in Equestria. Ponies are just blessed with ways to use it. Earth ponies do their magic through contact (grow plant break granite with bare hooves). Pegasi manipulate air current and fly with those small wings thanks to magic (case and point Bulk Bicep). Plus everypony can grap thing with their hooves. I will go as far as say that there is a tiny bit of magic in the human world as well. but in Equestria the magic is so abundant that every creature has some mesure of it.
Maybe you can keep the magic going because how does celestia hold up the sun to stop it from dropping without always using her horn, for example when its midday she isn't using her horn for that purpose
I'm sure you've noticed this as well but..... The weather factory. Just think about it, it has lots of advanced tech (as we've seen in Tanks For the Memories) its responsible for generating clouds lightning and possibly (this is all my opinion) a backup power for the sun since I've and I'm sure lots of you have Celestia is getting less powerful, she didn't even try to get Luna to consider taking control of half the Elements of Harmony to defeat Discord she simply said "I am no longer connected to them." as if she couldn't take them back, she unintentionally lost against Chrysalis, and sent Twilight to the Crystal Empire instead of sending Luna or someone else more powerful or maybe even going herself and leaving Luna in charge (I'm sure a few 24 hour nights can't be that bad) instead she used it as a learning experience, this seems to be Celestia's alibi and being to weak to even take a trip that makes me think the she might be relying partially on the pegasai to power the sun. Thank you for reading what I had to say.
I think of it as the equestrian earth is full of magic. Unicorns can actively control it, Pegasus can use it to reach incredible speeds, and earth ponies use it for strength. Tirek steals it from every type, stealing flying, strength and unicorn magic so that's why I think this. Maybe this propeller is being controlled by Tank harnessing the magic of the earth and air. He is in full control of were and how fast he is flying so it could be possible. If this is, why can't other animals control this magic?
Or maybe it's able to extract magic from living organisms, because as someone said below, every organism has unique magic inside, probably not only ponies, but turtles too. They said about that in one of the episodes, that there is magic in everypony or something
(That's a fulfillment to my comment below :D) (I couldn't respond to my own comment)
Maybe it is powered by gems because like you have said, gems could hold or store magic. Besides, how is it confirmed that it goes on forever? Maybe it stops at one time and has to be 'refilled with something like magic.
I think that the magic for the propeller is actually created, kinda like generating electricity for us. In Tanks for the Memories, Rainbow Dash started up his propeller by spinning it. If spinning it was the way to generate enough magic for it to start, it would be generating the energy it needed to actually work. That's why no pony needs to put a spell on it.
Tanks propeller is shown when not in motion in Tanks for the Memories. While not in motion there is no yellow aura but when Rainbow Dash hits the propeller and puts it in motion again the aura returns. Perhaps the propeller is like a car battery and once it is switched on it both supplies energy and charges itself, thus preventing the need of a spell. It's just a theory though
The magic powering the propeller may come from tank himself. If ponies could figure out how harness the magical energies of living things then just drawing enough magic to power the spell without completely draining the user would be a simple task. However note that the aura didn't start until rainbow starts the propeller. So it may contain like a magic generator and that powers the propellers. Thus it would form an infinite loop.
when flim and flam showed up and during the part where they demonstrated how it worked, they put some magic in the thingy and after that, it was running to make cider. The machine kept making cider after their magic was put in and they can turn the cider machine on for as long as they wanted during the contest to see which pony can make more cider. But I also think that it was worn out of magic the last time it was used (or maybe first). Then later on the show in Rainbow Rocks, Twilight used the big confusing mathematical machine to get to Canterlot High. When she was about to leave, she said "I can come when ever I want to," and I theorize that tank was propelled by the same magical spell in these two events. But since Twilight used the magic from the book, that magic maybe responded to the machine and had this spell that was ever lasting. In the other side, Sunset Shimmer had the same personal book she used to send messages to Princess Celestia. And the book still worked. That, I theorize as a spell, was an ever lasting magic and Sunset Shimmer said "maybe it still works," it means she used it a long time ago, we know already. Yet she was right, it still works. Maybe Tank was given an ever lasting levitation spell by some-pony. But what I am leaving out is who gave that spell to Tank. My theory is either Princess Celestia or a professional Magician because we have all seen ponies with the same color aurora glow. Like Flim and Flam were green, but to prove it was not because they were siblings, take Rarity and Sweetie Bell. The best guess I can make is Princess Celestia casting an Ever Lasting Levitation Spell on Tank to make his propellor fly. And I also have something else to say. when we watched the episode "Tanks for the Memories," after the theme song to when Fluttershy was checking up Tank, his propellor was not activated and then Rainbowdash had to spin the wings to make it activate. The same thing happened when they came to Spike for advice. They exited and Tank was flying. But I came across how that even though Spike was a flightless dragon, Tank was a flying turtle xDDD. Anyways, what if every pony, even pegasai, had magic because Rainbowdash knew how to activate the spell on Tank's propellor. What if she was given access to this thing where she can magically levitate things only she wants to levitate. Well to go against this theory, take a look at the episode "Just for Sidekicks" and when Rainbowdash was saying goodbye to Tank, he wasn't flying :O. After Rainbowdash left, he was in the air. Rainbowdash didn't make Tank fly. But maybe it was Tank who controls the magic. I don't really know. Anyways, I hope to see an explanation :)
Well, Flim and Flam said that they could give some magic with their machine. Maybe it's possible to enchant an item, so that it doesn't require anyone to cast a spell, or whatever, instead it has it's own independent magic captured in it. I think that's what Tank's propeller does
I am not sure, but pest pony has had his machine, and as far as I am concerned, he wasn't an unicorn neither alicorn, and his machine was glowing with magic aurora wasn't it? Tell me what you think :)
Hmm..... I think that Tank's propeller is simply enchanted by somepony's magic, nothing complicated. Since it's not constantly being supported by an actual visual magic aura like most spells do, I think Twilight or someone just put a spell on it so it'd work..... Forever. I do find a lot of interest in something deeper, although personally I just believe it's enchanted. (Yes. Snails is behind it all. Illuminati confirmed.)
BN, I have something you really need to put into an episode. Remember in the first season, first episode of MLP Twilight was reading books. She was reading them from like hyroglihpics....... but later on in the show they started just making scribbles and puncuation like real life!
i think is a incantation, used for celestia like in the third episode of first season "The Ticket Master" on the end, applejack pick a ticket with the same magic, i think is a type off spel premeditated used by celestia to do easy things without your presence
Just a note on tech... It is kinda mixed, but most of the tech seems to come from the early 1900's/late 1800's. It's probably just animator's inconsistency.
Is it possible the axle in tank's propeller has some sort of generator? We do see Rainbow Dash jumpstart it in that season 5 episode (the name escapes me)
I've just started watching your work and I've noticed 2 things. You've had decent animation even from the beginning and the intro always seems to be interrupting you and I always hear it as more of "Fuck youuuuuu" instead of "friendship is magic". Not that you should change it. It's been so long it's like tradition now.
Well, I think that since ponies, unicorns, pegusi and alicorns have a type of magic (whether shown or not) and that friendship IS magic, maybe the friendship between Tank and Rainbow Dash is creating a magic, therefore sustaining the flight of the propeller.
Maybe the propeller is just something like an enchanted item?
But then again, if that's the case, why aren't these kinds of enchantments more commenplace in a society in which (probably) two thirds of its' population aren't even capable of performing spells and especially earth ponies depending on their mouthes & hooves alone to cope with their everyday lifes?
Perhaps it's something like a rare drop... ahem artifact? Or a unique contraption invented/build/enchanted and fitted for Dash's/Tank's special requirements by one of their friends (Twilight/Cestia etc)?
There at least seem to be several occations in which objects in Equestria have been enchanted by certain knowledgeable individuals (the Inspiration Manifastion Tome or perhaps even the Alicorn-Amulett depending on the question wether or not you consider the gem to be a source of natural or enchanted power?) or inherit an own natural (?) magical power (your gem-theory)... Perhaps we'll see a glimpse in future episodes. You know since Twilight kind of foreshadowed something like that in reference to the Staff of Longi... "Sameness" and all. ^_°!
But most probably it's just a simple case of "convenient magic" by the writers! ;P
Okay Notion, here's my theory: The magic comes from Rainbowdash. We've learned that Pegasi have magic inside them, based on the fact that Princess Cadence's magic was strong enough to get her made into an alicorn. So what if yellow is the glow of RD's magic aura? It feels like a simple intent spell wouldn't be too hard for Twilight to conjure. Simply whenever Rainbowdash wanted Tank to fly, the spell enabled her own magic to automatically make Tank fly. Twilight could have linked Rainbow with Tank's propeller perhaps. It doesn't seem like it'd be that hard to do, if we are going on the fact that all Pegasi have magic, not just Cadence. But I'd also like to factor in the Sonic Rainboom that only Rainbowdash has been able to do. That has to be magical, right? I don't know, its just a theory. :-)
Ok so what if when rainbow or anyone else spins the blade it collects in tye magic from the air and area.We know all of equestria is magic so this would make sense. It might work like the sun is magic as well.The yellow color might be the color of magic im the air or the color of the suns magic. We see the rod has the magic so maybe its like a lighting rod and solar panel.The blade collects magic and the rod stores it and makes the blade keep spinning to collect more magic.
What if the propeller is enchanted. I mean we have Seen other enchanted items such as the elements and the Alicon element. We have seen something similar to the magic around tanks propeller. In the two parter, the Crystal Empire, we see multiple MAGIC traps Sombra set up. When he was not there, a dark magic aura is still seen. Whether this is helpful or not, I just though I should share my idea with the world. Stay pony my friends.
I like the idea of Celestia more then snails hers why. Tank is mostly in the sky. You know what else is in the sky. The SUN the magic from tanks propeller must be from Celestia because she is practically the sun.Tank must be getting his magic from there.
Okay.... the reason why only the axel spins is because some unicorn could have casted a spell on it that when it is put on, he can fly or 10 hours or moons... just like how rarity got wings for a period of time or... Maybe when princess celestia is raising the sun, some sort of magic can reflect, allowing the spell to work . Either way could make sense if you think about it.
Every pony has magic. Unicorns has some of the most blatant and the most versatile magic. The stuff we normally think of when we think of magic. But it has been shown and said that both Earth ponies and Pegasus ponies have magic. After all how can magic be stolen from them if they don't have it?
Earth ponies we know have it in strength, there's some evidence that it could come in other ways. Like how the apples always fall into buckets when Applejack does nothing but kick the tree. Pinkie Pie seems to have some empathy to her. Ponies light up just a little too quickly when she's trying AND all of Ponyville can sing with her when she bursts into song.
Pegasus is easier to see than Earth ponies, they just don't have a glow like Unicorns. They manipulate the weather. Walking on clouds, pushing them around, making wind, causing rain, all this good stuff is magic. They fly when those wings shouldn't be capable of holding them up, and this is the important part.
I think Tank is flying via Rainbow Dash magic. Her flight power is connected to that doodad. Could easily be that Twilight made the connection for them, but it is still Rainbow's own power that keeps it spinning so Tank can fly.
Did everyone forgot The Ticket Master? At the end of the episode the golden tickets were levitating by themselves, wrapped in a yellow glow. Coincidence? I think not.
My theory, is that it is either a solar-panel less solar power thing, or it has something to to with what Tank wants it to do, cause its not always spinning is it?
I have a theory: In the second season of mlp episode Sonicrainboom, or whatever We saw that Twilight cast a spell that didn't need all the magic at one time, same with the breezies episode in season 4
We also saw in the Canterlot wedding Queen of the Changelings magical aura was never changed to a light blue, Cadences color it remained green Like that gooey stuff they had. What if Celestia has been there but changed into a different pony
This is a stretch of what is probably not true but I wanted to put it out
Even if the magical aura is still there on Tanks propeller
I have a little more to this if you would like to here more just tell me
In any case, Princess Celestia proves that a unicorn's magic does not necessarily match the color of their eyes. That's something I have been wondering about before.
It could be enchanted so it is still a magical loop but runs of kinetic energy. In one of the lastes episodes tanks for the memories rainbow dash prepells the contraption to work
Princess celestia could have cast the spell on it and it repeats because she used a forever spinning spell well…she is eternal so she will have crazy spells that even princess Candace&princess twilight can't do…but Luna can😝
Uhm... I have about 7 things to say 1. Y the end 2. 6 is the number for lightning dust I could explain but in private 3.its bot a turtle it's a tortoise which isn't 6 letters 4.(this is the biggest one) all creatures in map has magic because pegisi walk on clouds earth well that's something else I need to explain in private 5. The machine gets magic from the turtles shell 6. Illuminati isn't particularly made from a zipper it's just made that way because cartoon zippers look like that 7. Snails isn't smart enough to produce magic he can't even make a light spell without extreme effort programming a machine with magic would be to hard
LOL Illuminati anyway i think princess Celestia just gave a little magic on tank's propeller like you said in the video but she just put a spell that will maintain the magic that she gave.After all she is the strongest alicorn and we saw how easy it was to ask Celestia for her to do that.
What if celestia does make it work but here magic is put on a time loop so it's refreshing in a time loop so it never stops this probably a dumb theory but I just wanted to point it out anyway
Good video, but from a season 5 video, I'm confused, what is discord? He's not a dragon not a pony so what could he be? We all know he's a creature of some sort but what exactly?
theory is quite wrong the magic is used to hold the thing in place but like propleller hats u see in movies, the propeller spins but since the turtle is heavy ,you need magic to hold the proppeller in place.then twilight cast a spell on it which is everlasting so probably the aura turned yellow from the spell cause probably the long lasting spells are yellow
I feel that because rainbow dash fly's and wants tank to fly why wouldn't it not be weird for the magic to be from the air surrounding it would only make sense it could have had a spell put on it to conduct power from the air to move the propeller
Couldn't it be conducting magic from Rainbow Dash? We know all ponies have a trace of magic from the Tirek's attack on trying to get all the allycore magic in Equestria?
@The Brony Notion I believe that Tank's propeller works on magic, but not the magic you think it is. Normal pony magic has to have the magic contently going until the pony's magic gets weak or the pony gets hurt. Judging from when Cadence was getting weak because she had a force field up that (since The Crystal Empire was just found again) not even alicorns can use their magic for a long period of time. Now you might be like "well Princess Celestia is the most powerful pony and will always be," well that's not the case. Celestia is the most powerful at the moment, Twilight does have the potential to become more powerful than Celestia and even take her place in "Pony God." What I was saying is that Celestia can't hold her magic that long if her horn was activated or not, the axis of the propeller is enchanted. The reason why I'm saying this is because enchanted items are like that forever or until the item breaks. I hope this gives you a clue for your theory. If you find that both of our theories have information in it that could be true, feel free to use it in a video where you redue the theory.
I have a video idea, or more of a theory: This explains why Celestia and Luna have lived for thousands of years, and also why Twilight is not gonna outlive her friends. Celestia and Luna was born alicorns, and is then original alicorns. But Twilight and Cadence was born as normal ponies and then transformed to alicons. I belive that alicorns is innmortal, but that those who arent born alicorns and then turned into that still have the normal livespand of an average pony.
This means that Celestia and Luna are innmortal, but Twilight and Cadence will still die of old age like a normal pony.
@Jenna Hart That makes more sense. Sorry, but i have never read the book so this was just based on what ive seen. And also im alloved to belive what i want.
#illuminati I have my statistics math exam on 18th, so it will be a treat to come home to the episode released. Also good luck to everyone in their finals and tests!
I don't wanna diss anyone but does anyone here think that we're over-analysing these situations. Mlp is a kids show on magic and friendship. Granted, it's an awesome kids show, but still. How does magic work? It doesn't, magic is magic. How does Tank's propellar work? Magic. Why am I watching this? Because people refuse to dub episode 9 of SAO.
Man what is up with all these illuminati references? I always knew tanks propeller was powered by electricity,but I thought it was just enchanted with magic powers so it have its own source of magic.
To my theory is magic nothin Else than energy. So What i Mean is, in our world is energy with energy you can movie your hand and take the book. In the mlp World is magic. You can use the magic stright your horn or Else and Lift the book. I Mean Let's See it exists energy and Dank energy in Physiks. Who says that this dark energy can't be magic. So if it Would be a kind of energy, and energy can be electricity than it's easy to explain. It's friction energy. Just a thought. Sorry for the Mistakes in the writting. I'm German and can't speak or Write englisch perfekt :)
Oh mah gosh! What tha hay is all this "Illuminati" junk?! I just keep bumping in to it with out knowing what tha hay it is. Can someone please explain?
Your end gags are fantastic. XD Finally! My brother and I were wondering when somebody would ask about how Tank flies. I think the theory of Celestia just casting some looping spell works. Also something I've been wanting to talk about but have kept forgetting to, in your video about gems it all seemed pretty convincing, but the thing about Dragons is that if they had magic why wouldn't Tirek steal that too? If he hadn't of stolen from we could've said he can only steal from ponies but since he does we can assume he can steal magic from all things that have magic, or at least enough to matter. Though you'd think with his "fire mail' Spike would have magic, or is that just because of Celestia? So many questions! Lastly, why does Tirek have the power to steal magic? I mean for Queen Chrysalis her magic makes sense, a Changeling having the power to gain power from love, but a Centaur who takes magic and makes it his own and grows stronger because of it? Interesting.
My guess is that 1) the unicorn that made it had yellow eyes (as their horn aura seems to match their eye color) 2) it has some type of mana condenser so it doesn't need to be recharged (as you never see it getting recharged) 3) it has a type of levitation spell on it controlled by the goggles (which Tank is always wearing when he has the flight cap on) 4) propeller is there to help the magic under the principle that form follows function 5) this is a prototype, possibly originally intended for a pegasus that lost use of their wings
As I recall Faust onc said that everything that appears to run on electricity actually runs on magic. Her word isn't absolutely canonical anymore but that does make a great deal of sense. The Flim Flam Brothers mentioned that they were using their magic to power their machine, meaning that magic can be used like electricity in that sense. If magic is like electricity then it must have ways to transfer and store it as you can electricity. Going on the "gems are magic" theory gems would act as magical batteries, that can hold a charge when a unicorn imbues it with magic. In effect this would be similar to in LoK where Firebenders provide most of the worlds elecrtricity. This also gives unicorns specialized jobs which only they can do, like the Earth Ponies as farmers, and the pegasi as weather managers.
Thus we can assume that Celestia came up with that jetpack's design, then put her magic into a gem small enough to either fit in the shell cover, or in the bulge in the mid section of the propeller.
As a side note now I have an idea what kind of minimum wage dead end job my ponysona would end up doing.
I don't think it would be too difficult for any unicorn to charge certain devices with unicorn magic. Tank's propeller is a fairly minor and easy machine to manipulate magic, but there's other, far more complex machines that do the same, and one that stands out as we actually saw the magic start the machine were Flim and Flam's Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000
I think that just as ponies talents might be to do one thing, i think there are enchanters, who can be hired to make things that just do stuff. Also this may actually be an example of pegasus magic. they make an entire city float around, making something for a flying animal or pet seems really easy. All those gadgets and gizmos in Cloudsdale factory and in Dash's home. The Pegasus community would need ways to set things down or move them around so they don't fall off the cloud.
I personally thought that the propellor was just enchanted. By either Twilight or from an enchanted store. (Similar to the enchanted comic books one.) The spell could activate when Rainbow spins the propellor and the color could be from Tank himself as he is the one steering the device. Basically making Tank's "magic" yellow.
I have a thought that it works like it creates magic/energy while it's spinning which keeps it going, so rainbow dash has to start it and the machine does the rest
What I think is that all of the electrical machines are powered by magic, like a magic battery or something like that. That's how all of the flashlights and other objects not plugged in work. Also, we see in rainbow rocks for just about a frame that magic travels through two terminals. This could mean anything. It could mean that they plug stuff into a magical outlet or they really use electricity. What if there was a large magical stone that they used to send power to all of the magic outlets the exist to use video game machines which we see for a tiny bit in Hearts And Hooves Day and TVs, what ever needs to be powered up. We know there is magic other than unicorn and alicorn magic, so maybe there is a sort of electrical magic? Interesting concept.
I think that items like certain books in rainbow rocks and tank's propeller can be enchanted by unicorns or other magic users and when the magic is activated it shows the magical aura of whoever enchanted the item
i think it is basically a engine & generator build into one, upon initial activation, the spinning motion generates the power, then the power is used to spin the propeller. and so the cycle continues. since it is magic,and the engine and generator are one and the same, there should be no lost of energy, and so the amount of power generated by the propeller spinning should be equal to the amount needed to spin the propeller. and so the great mystery of tank's propeller is solved. ;3
When dash spun tanks propeller in one of the season five episodes then it started to glow so in my a opinion the glow would be electricity that causes it to to spin. Spinning and stopping the propeller would be like an on and off button.
I'm sure Rainbow Dash (Or Twilight, herself) just called in a favor from Celestia. :P
In Canterlot Wedding, Shiny Armor was maintaining the forcefield the whole time, until it was broken. And yet, for a large majority of the episodes, His horn wasn't glowing.
I guess Celestia is using so little power to spin the propeller she can do it subconsciously, or even when she's asleep.
But Hey, that's just a theory. A Pony.. Theory? idk, whatever.
My theory is that the object has a spell cast apon it by twilight to alway work when the propellor is spinning. As proving in "Tanks for the memories". Now the reason why it's a yellow ora instead of a purple ora is because the spell is ever lasting. So the ora is a different color. But hey, it's just a theory. A PONY theory! Thanks for reading! Bro hoof! ..../)
What if it's not only ponies who contain magic. Unicorns and alicorns are the only ponies able to harness it in such a variety of ways but it's obvious that the other two species and discord have their own magic (show in twilight's kingdom part 1 & 2). What's stopping us to say that the animals of equestria are not like ours and are instead, also capable of small magical acts (ie food storage over hibernation and/or locating said food afterwards) the propeller seems to be controlled with Tank's mind (it's only active when he wants) so perhaps it's created as a conductor of his own kind of magic like a horn. Just a thought.
Okay, this is probably the third time I posted this on a Brony Notion video, but I theorized something about human sunset shimmer. So, if she became an alicorn, would that mean she raises and sets the sun the the human world? I mean, look at her cutie mark. Sure, it represents the Yin Yang symbol, but red is the color of the sunset, and yellow is the color of the sunRISE in my opinion. What do you think, notion?
Tank clearly has access to one of the Infinity Gems of the ponyverse. I'd say it's the reality gem. The color doesn't match the actual gem, but hey, this is the ponyverse; it could be any color.
Hmm, I don't think they've shown Tank flying without Rainbow Dash around. Perhaps Twilight cast the spell and anchored it to Rainbow Dash. In effect, she might be using her own flying skills to pilot tank by "remote control". RD's pegasus magic, which she does have since Tirek stole it, has become the source of the propeller's power even if RD wasn't the pony who originally cast that spell. Just because it's yellow doesn't automatically make it Celestia's magic. After all, look what happened when Celestia and Twilight used "dark magic" like Sombra was known for.
i would like to think that the gem having magic theory is what making it move but for what keeps it going i like to thing it recharges itself OR it is replace with another or both
Two weeks with no new videos?! I'm not gonna make it...
As for Tank's propeller, I always noticed the glow but never really thought about it much. Maybe it's not magic at all; maybe it's energy. Where the energy comes from, what it does and how it doesn't run out/disappear, I have no idea.
i honestly never noticed the magic glow on tanks propeller. i thought it was just battery operated and was going to say you need to stop over analyzing, but youre right as usual..
Hey, notion, I love your videos. I don't know if you take suggestions from viewers, but I have an idea that you might have not thought of, and my brain is not capable of finding the answer.
I think you should talk about pony names next. I mean, not only do we see that the names are crazy, and seem to be very similar to there cutie marks, but we know that the two parts aren't first and last. Theres Apple Bloom, Granny Smith, Applejack (one word, even though in eg the initials on the bass were Aj then J.) and then we have Filthy Rich, who is Mr. Filthy AND Mr. Rich. So, yeah....
This is an interesting topic. Maybe the propeller is powered by magic that has been stored. A magic capacitor or battery. This would explain the magic glow and how nopony is around to constantly casting a spell. Another alternative is the yellow glow does represent Celestia and the devise is solar powered gathering magic from the sun. Good luck with your finals.
Don't forget in "Tanks For Memories" when tank stopped his propeller from going the magic stop, but when Rainbow dash spun it back up the magic reappears
Turtle magic. Everybody knows that turtles have magic.xD jk Maybe there is a gem ( or some kind of magical engery going on) underneath the axis and there is spark that started the device up and makes the device stay on until it is "turned off' or runs out of juices( kind of like a battery). What gives e this idea in "Tanks for the memories," that RD used her hoof to spin the propeller, and then it kept spinning and you could see the magic glow. And it reminds me of hose old fashioned plans is the good old days is when one have to spin the propeller to get the propeller going.
maybe tanks magic does come from an object? and in rainbow rocks the book's magic came from celectia, maybe she turned the propeller into a magical object like she did with the book...
I think that twilight put that magic on the thing that make tank fly, have you noticed that the trying is mettle maybe when her magic tuch mettle it turn that color
It could be a store bought enchanted propeller and the spell is channeled through the axis....maybe. Perhaps the spell in question is a flight spell? Idk, I think I'm just talking out of my ass.
I have an idiaaaa😂. The Magic is from ponies, they just putting a spell objects. That spell transports a little bit of the Magic into the object. It's like in ,,Twighlights Kingdom. Episode 4 s4 , The princesses, had transport the magic into twighlights body. Its not a perfect example, but it is Thema only I now know.
First of all tank is a tortoise but secondly what if tanks magi is just an energy field cause when it starts spinning like when when rd started it it instantly had the energy field
Though without a fuel source as fossil fuel how would scootaloo scooter run besides electrical or magical energy the most you see in the show in the means of pollution is smoke from fires so either all technology runs on gems because seems like everything is natural based on travel true the train burns coal though everything else no pollution.
I think it is tank itself or a more possibility rainbow dash since season 4 finale it shows that rainbow dash has magic so that might charge tanks propeller so this is my theroy
Maybe rainbow dash accidently found a spell book which include levitating spell that could work on any type of pony and she found it the two sister castle.. Just like spike.. Maybe..

Great job. But did you see in season 5 when tank was going to hibernate and rainbow dash spin't the thing and magic And I hate the fact you not coming back till the 18th 😢

44 likesTank's propeller might be controlled by the sun, because when the sun is gone, tank doesn't fly so high, the propeller might need energy to be flying, so it is controlled by light, but I have no idea what the magic is, but since the sun is controlled by Celestial, it might explain why the magic is yellow. I know this explanation might be weird, but it does relate something to Tank's propeller

I think it's less about normal magic and more about being enchanted. It you think about it, there are objects that can store magic, and objects that can resist magic cough*Smooze*cough. Take for example, the Alicorn Amulet. Not only does it give it's wearer heightened magical power, but it also increases in power itself. But where is that magic coming from? I have a theory that the AA (seriously, was it made by a drunk pony or something?) was was enchanted in a way that it takes in magic from around it, which his how it continues to grow more powerful. So perhaps Tank's propeller has a similar enchantment. Perhaps it takes in just enough magical energy from the world around it to power the propeller as needed. However, there's something else that has to be accounted for. And it's again similar to the AA. The AA's power would corrupt the mind of it's user (either that or they are just drunk). So there must be some kind of psychic link. I'm mentioning this because you have to wonder, how is Tank able to control the propeller at will? And that is the second enchantment is that the propeller is controlled by Tank's will.

1 likeI didn’t think anyone would talk about that, but now, when I after six years found this comment, I’m happy.
1 likeI always assumed it was a 'make-it-move' spell, permanently embedded in to the axle and running off either ambient magic or recharges. That gives us the hover capability. To convert that into side motion, Tank just has to shift his body weight to angle the propellor in the direction he wants to go.
0 likesI'd assume there's also some sort of speed controller to allow for vertical motion, though how that's controlled I don't know. Possibly it can detect his head looking up or down, or maybe the feedback is mental.
Neither do I know how it avoids counter-rotation. Maybe that's a function of the stator component.
I have noticed Tank's propeller and I believe it was Celestia who cast the spell on a MAGICAL CRYSTAL that powers Tank's propeller.(I mean just look at the bit with the unicorn/alicorn glow) The infinite spell by Celestia also explains why Rainbow Dash can just switch it on and off(In Tank's for the memories is where I saw him do that)which makes sense because Rainbow is one of the main six so she gets to go see the princesses whenever she wants to.So I think and thought that it is celestia

0:22 Okay, since you brought it up I'm going to mention this right now: a come to life spell. True, when Twilight used that spell in Winter Wrap Up it seemed to require the use of her horn even after the spell was cast, but it also didn't seem to be under her direct control anymore. Perhaps if such a spell was fed magic from another source... hmm, idk.
0 likes2:06 My guess is that the magic comes from Tank himself. Sure,
turtlestortoises can't usually use magic on their own, but perhaps with the use of a specially crafted device for drawing magical energy out of them, it would work. Tank seems to be in control of the device, so it would make sense that the magic to power it is also coming from him.3:06 Oh, come on! We had enough of this during April Fools day! =P
I always figured it was a magic generator, like an electric one mirroring the real world. We see dash spin or wind it and a lot of the generators have a pull string to start them up. Maybe it's something in the design (and possibly materials) that makes it generate magic.

0 likesSince we know that most or all beings in equestria have atleast a small form of magic, what if animals like tank had a neutral source of magic that is able to slowly feed into the machine, possibly a spell was enchanted into that black-ish piece in order to match the will of the wearer so the disc spins faster or slower, this would allow tank to adjust his height accordingly rather than a repeated spin spell which would possibly cause constant speeds or slightly controlled flight
0 likesSo I agree on it might be Celestia controlling the propeller, but I think there might be another reason of why that is. Celestia is the princess of the sun right? And we only see tank propeller spinning in the daylight, so is it possible that the sun is doing this magic? I'm not sure if that's true or not but please correct me! :3
2 likesOkay, here's my theory. Since the main six and Celestia are pretty close, maybe Celestia cast a spell on the rod, giving it the ability to store her magic. Just like how you were saying she could've looped the spell, she could've put quite a bit of magic into it, and every once in a while re-done the spell so that the rod could store more magic. Make sense?
0 likesIf I were to make a guess, I wouldn't say it's a 'spell' that keeps Tank up in the air. I think it's very possible that Rainbowdash had the harness specially made for him, so he could fly along her side. It wouldn't be the first time we'd seen magic and technology being used together in the show. I'm more interested in the inner workings of the device. It could have a spell/enchantment on it or whatever to power it, but I like the idea that there could be a gem in it somewhere acting like a battery. It's likely that all gems, even the common ones in the earth have some magical quality to them, so I wonder if they could be used in that way?
0 likesI personally think it's Celestia. A replaying spell must be very difficult to perform, and therefore, must take a lot of strength, something an average unicorn probably wouldn't be able to do. Idk. My theory.
1 likeI'm about to get sciency here...
0 likesIn Tanks for the Memories, Dash actually starts the propeller as we would the propeller on a propeller plane. I think it's a magic powered motor that keeps it going, but it has to be physically stopped or started. We've seen at least one instance where somepony (or some-dragon) put their hoof/claw on top of the mechanism and it stopped running.
My guess is that the magic in that hat of his is what keeps him from falling through the floor in RD's house. A non-magical prop-hat would allow him to just plummet through the floor and into the ground when it stopped spinning. As for how it works... I'm a little lost on that. Maybe Pinkie made it? She seems to enjoy breaking the laws of physics, magic, logic and walls.

Ellie Grafham makes sense
0 likesWhich could be called battery
0 likesI have an idea going off of "maybe Celestia cast the spell." So the glow does match with celestia's magic, and Celestia controls the sun. Perhaps the sun charges the magic in the propeller because its accepting Celestia's magic back into its apparatus. This would explain why the propeller is not constantly used, because it would need to charge.
0 likesInteresting ideas. However, if Tank's propeller were driven electromechanically, he wouldn't be able to control it psychically, which we see him doing in Tanks for the Memories (in the opening he begins to fall as he gets sleepy, implying that he is controlling the propeller with his mind). I think the axle acts as a sort of magical capacitor which stores pegasus magic, rather than unicorn magic (which could explain the color), and allows Tank to release it at will, with a fail-safe to allow him to float softly to the ground if he falls asleep.
1 likeThe metal of the propeller could have a powerful gemstone wtth magic powering it... Relating back on an earlier video on why Celestia never uses her magic, or that it's getting weaker, perhaps she's trying to make the most of it by helping out Tank and RD.
3 likesIt's probably an enchantment of some kind, similar to the ones in Harry Potter. Once it's cast, it'll last until it eventually runs itself out or someone counters the spell.
0 likesIt's like a charm. Similar the to one shinning armour used when he was protecting catterlot. His horn wasn't glowing the whole time,but the spell didn't stop in till much later.
0 likesWhat if it's actually powered by a gem? I could totally see Twilight filling a gem with magic and RD swapping them out like batteries. No, it doesn't match Twi's horn color, but who really thinks it's Celestia doing it? Maybe the gems are yellow, and it takes color from them. IDK, it could work.
0 likesI theorize that Equestrian technology runs off magic instead of electricity, using enchantments to provide the power. The thing about enchantments is that they are still magic. If you notice, most tech in Equestria in encased in some kind of casing. This casing would hind the enchantments and thus the magic aura they would give off. Tank's propeller has no casing, so the magic is visible. As for the color, Celestia isn't the only one with yellow magic. A pony's magic matches their eye color, so it could be that Lyra made it.
0 likesit isnt that difficult to enchant objects. you can see this in stuff like the power ponies with the enchanted comic book, or the doll with the want it need it spell, or the many instances of bringing an inanimate object to life.
0 likesthere have been many instances in which spells can be in some way permanent, continuing to do a magical action until the spell is dissipated, or being able to hold a spell until it is activated. probably the only big difference between tanks propeller and say the super speedy cider squeezy is the addition of a visible on off switch with which to deactivate the magic that requires magic to reactivate. whereas with tanks propeller, you just have to spin it to get it going or stop it manually to turn it off
Great video! I was wondering if ponies can have slit personality disorder. In the episode Daring Don't, we see that A.K. Yearling becomes Daring Do, and doesn't mention meeting them before when she becomes Daring Do. Also, we know that Equestria is a magical place. What if, in split personality disorder in Equestria, the pony's whole form changes, like from a unicorn to a pegasus? Anyway, just a though.
0 likesWhat if the magic that causes the thing to work is from Tank himself? Couldn't all creatures have magic besides ponies? Maybe the machine takes the magic inside Tank and cause the thing to spin.
1 likeI always just figured Twilight enchanted it. True it doesn't match the colour of her magic, but maybe enchanted objects form their colour from the type of spell rather than the caster's magic colour? (it's also possible that it is powered by a small gem housed in the centre of the mechanism)
0 likesA possibility is combo of tech and magic, specifically the sun. It could be solar powered. Absorb the energy of the sun, or the magic, and it then runs.
0 likesI guess i can help the magic theory, when shining armour cast the magical barrier to protect canterlot his horn wasnt constantly glowing so as a guess tanks propeller doesnt need to habe constant power from the horn it could be kinetic energy that makes it work as tank moves the kinetic energy is converted into some other form that then turns back into kinetic thus making an cycle

0 likesMaybe Rainbow's element is helping it. RD was always loyal to Tank and the spirit of Rainbow ( spirit of loyalty) magical helps him with what he needs because how much loyalty is given to Tank. Then again, the object itself isn't the one RD is being loyal to.
0 likesMaybe gems are used like batteries? You said before that gems are all magic in some way. Could it be that any unicorn could store magic, or maybe a spell, in a gemstone that's later used in machinery to make a piece behave a specific way? Perhaps the cone-shaped bit on the propeller has a tiny gemstone in which Twilight stored a rotation spell? The difference in glow could be explained by each gem (and the part affected by it) would glow in the color of that specific gem, regardless of the unicorn who charged it.
5 likesOf course, after a while, the magic in the gem would fade to the basic magic-level it can hold. This would mean Twilight would have to re-charge the gem to make the propeller function again.

0 likesI think tanks propeller operates on a single spark of magic similar to electricity in our world. when the propeller starts spinning , it creates a loop of magic being provided from the magic generated by the propellers spinning motion.
0 likesMaybe there's a small crystal that has extra magic stored in it hidden somewhere in the propeller. The crystal would explain where the magic is coming from.
0 likesI do think they have some sort of magical batteries.
0 likesThe energy would have to be recharged sometimes because of the drag.
my thought is that unicorns or Alicorns can enchant objects so that they can be used to cast a spell permanently, and the the magic color of that object has more to do with it's properties than who cast it. that being said i think that tanks flying rig was made by Twilight and sunsets book was made by Celestia. I also believe that tanks flying rig might have the ability to be turned on and off by him.
0 likesI think it just makes more sense if it's a spell that allows Tank to control to propeller with his own will power(basically, through thoughts). Twilight probably cast the spell, and since it's meant to be controlled by someone other than the original caster, it took up a flexible yellow color. It could match Tank's color scheme, but it could also just be there to represent magic in general, not belonging to one specific being.
0 likesCertainly a permanently enchanted magic item. As it not only needs to spin the propellers but propel take in any given direction as well as turn off when needed, thereby requiring psychic link with tank. Something I'm not sure equestrian non-magical technology is up to par with.
0 likespersonally I think there is some kind of gem inside the cone shaped part of the axis that starts up and keeps the propeller going until it is stopped again. I say this because we saw that it didn't take a unicorn to start it up in "tanks for the memories" Rainbow just started the propeller up by spinning it and the glow appeared as well.
0 likesI was thinking that Tank's propeller was just a spell that was cast. Even though we haven't seen magic cast and left alone, we also haven't seen anything that proves it can't happen. I figured some unicorn cast a spell to continue spinning the propeller, and might've even made it so that when coming in contact with Tank, it activates and gives him the ability to control it.
0 likesI know it sounds complicated, but it's kind of like... Magical circutry, or magical C++ somehow. Certain commands given. Even better (and more likely), it was more tha one spell cast on the propeller. A control spell, and a turning spell.
I always assumed that everything in Equestria ran off of magic regardless of whether or not the aura is visible. (It may be visible INSIDE the contraption for example, but not on the outside) and if I remember right, even Lauren Faust herself said that if there ever had to be any kind of computer thing in the show or whatever, she liked to think that in the end, it was all run off of magic.
I like the theory that other races didn't have magic and advanced more quickly technology-wise, though. That's a very interesting theory. I like it a lot. It makes you wonder if in the end, while unicorns are seen as the smart race, it would probably be the other two who have needed to live without magic that would be the ones who were smarter or at least more advanced as far as inventions go and everything.
What if....
0 likesI think you have said before in one of your videos, that creatures have magic.
If I take this theory, and conclude, it would be...
That magic is from Tank's own inner magic and the device he uses feeds on that magic (like in the anime Fairytail)and repeated using of magic (he keeps flying) without much rest can cause him to be tired, maybe that's why he is so weak, thus having to hibernate in that episode.
You can say what fluttershy said and just tell me that he needs to hibernate like normal turtles. But from my point of view, Equestria and Our world are different, so maybe animals there are different too?
I think it is the new type of magic a spell was cast to make it so he could fly but the magic only go when it detects motion and it also keeps the motion going now if you don't mind I just gave myself a giant headache enjoy your days off
3 likesIn the "Power Ponies" episode we see an example of a magical device (comic book that warps them into the story). There was nothing powering the book, it simply had magic on it's own. I think the propeller might have the same type of magic.
0 likesI've noticed in the background of most of the episodes that there are random objects with magic auroras that have no magic wat so ever and so I believe that the fence axil has no magic but instead has magic residue around it from an earlier spell maybe casted some where around it but this magic residue kind of acts like wind that spins the propellers and then it keeps up the popetual motion and so it has no magic but is controlled by popetual motion
0 likesI always thought the yellow aura was electricity. Maybe the propeller is mind-operated. Maybe whoever made it is a unicorn and they enchanted it to make it mind-controlled so it works whenever Tank is wearing it.
0 likesPerhaps its an enchantment? Similar to the 'want it, need it' spell Twilight casted in Lesson Zero. Celestia was the one who had to stop it, which could mean it takes some powerful magic to break the enchantment - could be like a lifelong battery?

As in the part is that glows is outputting magic to propel it, and every once in a while, twilight has to add more magic. I know the color of the twilights magic and the yellow "stick" are different but maybe no matter what color interferes, the "stick" can always stay yellow because it may be a yellow gem, and it can be painted! I know this was a while a go, but hay! Hay is for Ponies!
0 likesIf I had to theorize then I would say that both Sunset Shimmer's book and Tank's propeller are enchanted items. We know that item s can store and make use of magical energies. In a lot of fantasy enchanting or imbuing an item with magic is common. I think the world of Equestria would be no different, a unicorn (or alicorn) would simply need the proper time and materials to work on the item in question. and to prove enchanted items exist here is a quote directly from MLP: The Cutie Map "And here is the Staff of Sameness. It was one of the great mage Meadowbrook's nine enchanted items." (True there were only eight but it confirms enchanting exists.)
0 likesI think that the part that is glory is already magical, or infused with magic, quite like the gems in MLP. Therefore, all Twilight needed to do was activate it or something to make the propellers go off. This is my theory, (crazy I know) but I hope it at least is still plausible.

Mabey it's an item that draws magic from the user.even though tank isn't a unicorn or pony in that way,it's safe to say that all creatures or animals in equestia contains a little bit of magic.like the earth pony s,in season 4 episode 25-26 tirek can absorb the magic out of anyone even earth ponys,meaning they have a little bit of magic in them,so it's safe to say everthing in equestrian is magic,witch basically what equestia is,a land of magic in the show,or I can be completely wrong and what gives every pony magic is there cutie Mark,and only pony s have magic in them.
1 likeI think that the sun gives off energy which with the correct material becomes magic. So When Celestia raises the sun she transfers some of her magic into it so that it will move on its own for the rest of the day. So when Tank flies his propeller absorbs some of the magic. Oh and the same for Luna and the night if he were to fly at night.

here's my theory.

0 likesI think it's solar powered, that's why it resembles celey's magic and it won't run out in the sun. Although rd did spin it to start it up in tanks for the memories, possibly it can be stopped to reserve the magic it runs on.
0 likesMaybe it's a magical lightening rod that attracts all magical energy from the world around him or is a spell cast by twilight that converts Sun rays into magic.
0 likesIt might be running off of solar power/magic. That would explain why the aura is the same color as Celestia's, and why it seems to be self-perpetuating.
0 likescertain gems do have magic. Maybe the propeller uses a small gem like a battery to power the propeller.
0 likesI figure that most of the technology in Equestria works on magic, like our own technology works with electricity. Magic seems to be an ever-present field in Equestria (Unicorns manipulate it with their horns, and Pegasai fly on it), so I figure that it would be kind of like what would have happened if Nikola Tesla had managed to succeed in filling the world with harmless, though easily harnessable, electricity. No need for batteries, the power is just there. One simply needs the push on the propeller of Tank's rig to start it spinning, taking the magic and using it to fly.

Nikola Tesla is my role model. I wish he had finished all of his projects. His intelligence rivaled if not surpassed that of Einstein, yet it's a little incomparable since they worked in different fields.
2 likes@Skye Silverwing I would agree but there is one exception to that. In the episode The Mysterious Mare Do Well, we see that the ponies have a hydroelectric dam. Simple flow of water generating electricity. Why the ponies of Ponyville would need such massive amounts of electricity is beyond me(maybe its shipped to Canterlot?) but it remains a fact that Ponies do in fact generate electricity without the apparent need of magic involved in the process. If I had to guess, standard electricity is used primarily for earth ponies as magic is much more prevalent and common, easier to obtain. Its possible that even pegysus ponies use some kind of electric generator in their weather/rainbow generator factory up in cloudsdale.
0 likesIt could be producing magic somehow and not electricity?
0 likesIt is possible that the dam produces a small amount of electricity, or it could have some other purpose entirely. The thing is, the dam has proven to be very weak and poorly maintained. It also seems to entirely lack the spillways that most dams have to help prevent catastrophic failure. This suggests that it is not really that important to ponies over all. Perhaps an artifact of a bygone age, now only maintained at all because of the reservoir, rather than whatever that plant at the bottom does.

0 likesMaybe it's a concentrated form of Pegasus magic. After all, Pegasi magic enable them to fly. So maybe somepony poured a concentrated form of that magic in Tank's propeller.
0 likesMy opinion is biased due to my experience with Dungeons and Dragons. Tank's propeller device was magically imbued by a powerful magic user in Equestria (unicorn, alicorn, potion-master, etc.), much in the same way that all magic items are created.
0 likesMaybe the magic aurora simbolizes the electrical flow of the propeller. When you think about it equesteria does have more magic then electricity so maybe tanks propeller was the first sign of technology in equesteria. So it might be that the "magic aurora" was symbolizes as electricity powering the propeller helping him fly with rainbow dash. If you think my theory needs a little work let me know with a reply!

Power of theories maybe? 0^0
0 likesAnother possible explanation is that it is Tank's magic. Before you dismiss this idea, read my explanation.
0 likesWhat if all living creatures have magic, but only unicorns have a horn to channel this inner magic? This would explain why Tirek was a ble to take magic from earth ponies and pegasi. This would also explain how the Apple family grows apples year-round, and in, "It Ain't Easy Being Breezies," the pegasi were able to remain aloft despite not flapping any where near hard enough to support their own weight. If this is Tank's inner magic, that means that the propeller could be designed to channel his magic, allowing him to control when he wants to go higher or lower. But hey, that's just a theory. A pony theory!
I think that Celestia casted a spell that works for ever. Or it could be Snails. But who ever casted it, it must work for ever. Tell me what u think :)
0 likesHi!
1 likeI have a hunch.
If you look at it carefully we hardly know what magic IS in equestria. What IS that magic glow around the horn made of and why does it have different colours? Maybe that magic glow was made of magic essence and their sole. For example, Twilight said in pinkie keen "Magic is a representation of a ponies sole, something they practice and are born with" (Patronus charm!) see that that must mean when ether a unicorn or alicorn creates magic with there horn that must be sole or magic essence. Maybe you could talk about this in your next video.
C U
Maybe they enchanted the propeller with magic or it doesn't look like it but maybe carved from a magical gem. Or like any powerful alicorn or unicorn cast a long term spell on the propeller that has a sense of sky and ground cause it also stops when he's not using it. Honestly i haven't thought this theory all the way through.
0 likesmaby the axle is infused w/ an enchanted gem
9 likesIn my opinion, it runs on magical batteries. Basically, it has certain amount of magic stored on it. There exist a Yellow Glow Techie Unicorn [ Yellow Glow isn't uncommon or rreserved just to Celestia, as Snails has it, so we can assume existence of fair number of Yellow Glow Unicorns ] that can cast spells that will constantly work until magic runs out, just like battery powered equipment we use.
0 likesThe question arises: this long? we didn't see it repowered! How powerful was that spell? Well, I would go as far to say it lasts for week or a few days and RD brings Tank to said YGTU for recharging every now and then ^_^
One word : Technomancy
0 likesTechnomancy is theoretically the art of manipulating and/or creating magic-powered artifacts through any kind of form of arcanic art that can interact with reality without being catalyzed into another form. Without stretching too far, I can list the following as arts both corresponding these criteria and widely enough spread in the various forms of RPGs I've played: Runomancy, Thaumaturgy, Telekinesis, Alchemy to some extent, few karma related arts, and technomancy itself (as the art of creating devices that reproduce or posess magical abilities).
Considering the different kinds of spells seen as canon to the series, at least three of the arcanic arts of my list are possible in Equestria, according to "The Cutie Map", "Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000" or Zecora's episode (forgot the name).
Therefore, I would't be surprised if technomancy was actually possible in Equestria ...
Oh and for the magic's color, one can probably think of dozens of ways to link the sun's light and Sunbutt's magic amirite?
Source: Playing heckloads of roleplay, both tabletop and on computer (mostly Heroes of Might and Magic). Most of what I say here is therefore purely hypothetical, probably bits of it were just squawk, but we're here to theorize.
I bet it's like a battery, but one that can charge on its own. Whenever you use it, it has the magical glow, but whenever it's resting, it's powering up. It would probably have to be a really long lasting battery though.
0 likesI think The first idea is right. I think Twilight asked Celestia to make a magic to the propeller, and it came from Celestia and it's an other kind of spell. A kind of spell that is working like if you make a muffin it will will last forever (if you don't eat is or anything like that) and will not go back into eggs sugar flour ect.

0 likesI think that the actual propeller is magic. If I remember correctly, there are magical items in the world of my little pony like maybe the allicorn amulet and stuff. if things like gems are magical, why cant a propeller be magical, or at least have it's own magic.
0 likesI think the propeller is just a magic spinny spell or something and the spell can tell when tank wants to go for a fly and it's just a simple enchantment that a shopkeeper was selling
0 likes@The Brony Notion I'd say that the propellor itself has crystals imbedded in it, or on the inside powering it. This would also work with your theory (and mine) that all crystals have at least a bit of magic in them.
0 likesMy personal theory is that it's either rainbows or fluttershys magic. I know that they are Pegasi but they still have magic. That's why they can control clouds and weather. And I also am a firm believer in the theory that the magic glow is simply a representation of magic, Not actually visible. And while there may be ways to disprove that theory I'm talking about the magic used by the pegasi. We've seen tanks copter be stoped numerous times in the show. But no spell is needed to be cast to restart it. RD just spins the top and it restarts. So honestly I think that the way it works is using the magic of RD.

How does Tank's propeller works?
0 likesI think that twilight used a special kind of spell that uses a different type of magic. She might've had help with another unicorn to make a different colored magic aurora. Either that or she read a book that tells you how to make a lasting kind of spell like that, after all when she used magic to have rarity to get wings her magic color was different.
In the new episode when Tank must Hibernate I noticed Dash turn the top of the spiny thing and the magic started to glow and it kept spinning so I guess the magic is stored in and until it's acted on by an outside force it doesn't work.
0 likesWait, in a previous video, you said that you think diamonds are good containers for magic, right? What if his propeller is made of diamonds? Just a theory.
0 likesLook I think that the person that made the propeller made it to where it would store all the energy and keep it working for a long period of time. Like how solar panels work or maybe it's powered by sunlight and like I said earlier, stores the energy and powers it.

0 likesIn the finale for Season 4 we see Tirek sucking all the flight power out of the pegasii. After this none of them could fly, even though nothing about their anatomy had changed. This highly suggests that pegasii flight power is a form of magic that they use primarily for flight. It wouldn't be a stretch for a unicorn/alicorn to take some of that magic from Rainbow Dash herself (who as a very strong flyer would have plenty for herself) and tie it into the propeller. And since she loves Tank, it just makes the bond stronger.
0 likes...I'm thinking about this too seriously.
I know you're busy but perhaps you could make a video on why Celestia and Luna have flowy manes. It's quite interesting to think about, but here are my thoughts about why they have flowy manes.
0 likesLuna and Celestia raise the celestial bodies (the Sun and the Moon) whereas the other Princesses don't. The Sun and the Moon help them retain their power and give them their flowy manes. Their cutie marks are images of the celestial bodies they raise, and they have the ability to raise them. In Twilight's Kingdom, their flowy manes didn't exist no more because their power from the Sun and the Moon have been taken away from them. Alicorns who raise the celestial bodies have flowy manes. Twilight had a flowy mane when raising the Sun and the Moon in Twilight's Kingdom. Cadence and Twilight do not have flowy manes as their cutie marks are not images of the Sun and Moon, they do not usually raise the celestial bodies, and they don't have a connection with the celestial bodies too.
Also, I believe only alicorns can have flowy manes. In the Journal of the Two Sisters, the unicorns couldn't raise the Sun and Moon anymore, and so Luna and Celestia, being the only alicorns, raised the Sun and Moon, earning their cutie marks. If unicorns attempted to raise the Sun or Moon, they would be harmed, so only alicorns can do it since they are powerful. They could have obtained flowy manes later on during their lives, since it would obviously take a while to get connected to the celestial bodies.
Celestia and Luna are not immortal just because they were born alicorns. They just age at a slower rate than regular ponies thus the age of Princess Celestia and Luna. Twilight and Cadence are different, but they aren't immortal either.
Let me know what you think of my theory. I believe the Sun and the Moon in Equestria are special, like they possess a powerful magic. -Jenna
Everyone always seem to think triangles are that symbol.
0 likesFor the answer on Tanks flying mechine. I just think it has a small simple enchantment on it by Twilight.

maybe every living organism in equestria has magic, and the propeller is harvesting magic from tank himself, This could also explain why even though ponyville is near the "equator" of equestria world, he still immediately gets ready for hibernation in the winter.

0 likesWell Mr. Notion and the rest of the commenters. You have forgotten one very critical aspect and glaring flaw that the propeller pack should be doing to poor old Tank:
Ever wonder why helicopters have tail rotors? This is to counteract the torque caused by the main rotor in flight due to friction on the axis forcing an uncontrolled rotation of the main airframe. What Tank lacks IS that tail rotor to act as an antitorque rotor.
The design of the prop pack exclude technologies such as tandem rotors, NOTAR, and coaxial rotors in the design. As such Tank would be spinning in place with almost no flight control. He'd have to be flying like an autogyro fast enough to make wind resistance counter the torque.
Your move Brony Notion
Maybe the propeller is electric charged by the sun. The sun's power (glow) is by Celestia, so it glows yellow. IF the sun is NOT risen by Celestia, maybe the propeller won't glow yellow afterall.

0 likesYou can clearly see it in that episode!!
I think it has a battery that never runs outs and the glow shows that it is working.
0 likesI recon magic can be put into objects to enchant them. Because magic can be manipulated by the mind, something as simple as Tank's helicopter machine only needs to be told to be on or off, to change the velocity of the rotor and change direction and since the animals of Equestria are sentient, I don't think Tank is incapable of learning how to control such a device. I do think that the propeller won't work unless connected to a living creature. No form of magic is channelled without physical contact from the wielder: Unicorns and Alicorns need horns to channel magic, the elements of harmony need to be worn to work, Trixie's Alicorn amulet needed to be worn to work and even Discord needs the snap of his griffon claw to command his magic. From this, I believe machines run by magic need ponies controlling them to keep in operation, becoming more complex to work without pony supervision.

0 likesIf Celestia enchanted the book from Sunset Shimmer, she could have enchanted Tank's propeller as a gift to Rainbow.
0 likesJust a theory.
While it's not often shown, "Residual Magic" is pretty common throughout fiction, and easy to cast. Especially a residual spell for "Keep this object spinning.". While a magical catalyst is also viable, such as Lacrima, Gems (as you've hypothesized.) or even magical capacitors, there does not appear to be a location for such a capacitor on Tank's heli...belt....thingie.
0 likesResidual magic is the most likely, but for some reason, the usually common residual spells (Enchants fall under this) are strangely unseen in MLP, while the few times they are, seem to harken to Celestia and Starswirl the bearded. It's possible that this perticular form of magic just didn't gain popularity in Equestria, and other regions it did.
It would explain why Celestia and Starswirl (Avid adventurers if the comics are canon) would have the knowledge of it. But you showed in your video yourself, magic in MLP seems to be colored not by the caster, but the creator of the magic. While simple movement spells are second nature to a Unicorn and therefore can be cast on sight, more complex spells, the kind in spellbooks, and Alicorn magic change color to the original creator of that form of magic. Twilight when she's trying to transform the stones into clothes for Spike, her horn glows not purple, her color, but white. Meanwhile in the crystal empire when twilight uses her Alicorn magic to open Sombre's castle her horn glows black, akin to Sombre's magic.

0 likesActually, I don't remember where, but I did see Rainbow actually switch off Tank's harness. I like to think this means it's electric, and not magic.
0 likesEasy. Any creature in equestria has ambient magic field. All this thing does, it helps to channel it, maybe even amplify a bit. Copter doesn't work when Tank is not wearing it, and there is no off switch, but it CAN be off even when Tank wears it. You can't turn off your ambient field, but if copter binds with it so closely, it effectivly becomes part of you. This thingy gotta be very expensive, because it would be perfect for prosthetics.
0 likesHow about the spinning thing spins to keep the magic going. And since the magic keeps the propeller going, that's how it's
0 likesAll connected?!
I have never seen any indication that objects can't be imbued with their own magic, such as the Sunset Shimmer's book, grand galloping gala tickets from S01 E03 (this is why they float with the earth ponies, they were magically imbued to tag along with the ponies they belonged to), and of course Tank's helicopter. However, I can't seem to think of many other examples where this happens, and the things where it does are often connected with Celestia. It may be that to do such things either need a lot of energy (alicorn magic) or are incredibly complicated, and so very few ponies know how to do it (and Celesta is one of the few who can).
0 likesIt's what equestrian electricity looks like. Even the EG universe has differences from equestria, such as many of the problems depicted in the show could not possibly have happened. Perhaps this is just one among many differences.

Twilight studied magic intensly for years, so it's NOT hard to surmise that she could have easily have made an enchanted object with a self-targeting spell as simple as spinning one end being the result. The harness probably needs occasional recharges, but Rainbow Dash has 2 magic wielders as BFF's that could do it for her whenever the magical charges run low.

0 likesIn a normal helicopter, the rotor would spin, and then so would the blades attached to it.
But that rotor isn't moving...
You can say that the rotor mast is only there to keep the blades and the other part together, and that the blades are loose and can rotate around it's tip.
But then the blades should glow, not the rotor, so...
Tank 1 - Pony Science 0 :(
xD
I believe it is a stored magic device for the propeller, in tanks for the memories, Rainbow dash had to spin the propellers to make it work. when it spins it keeps going until it stops with some kind of force like stopping a toy top. A magic generator probably
0 likesIts obvious that tank is the source of the magic, how else would he control where he is going. maybe a unicorn cast a spell on him that allows him to use magic, but only on the propeller
0 likesI think the propeller acts like a solar panel and turns the sun into flying magic :'D
0 likesPerhaps gems have magic, and the propeller is made of crushed gems. And maybe unicorns can program it with magic.
0 likesOk I just starte the video and don't know the answer yet. But I suppose it could just be an eternal state of Celestia's magic. I mean, Nighmare Moon has the same power as her, but couldn't come back from the moon alone, which means Celestia would have had to hold the spell up for all the time Luna was banished. But we never saw anything of that on her horn, which means, that she maybe cast a spell which stays like it is by itself. To do a favour to Dashie, she'd do the same because it's doesn't require any strength. Let's see if I'm right ;)
0 likesMaybe the thing that is glowing under the propeller is made out of gems and that’s how it’s being powered
1 likeI think the magic from Sunset's book originally came from either her or Celestia.
0 likesIt's magic. Don't question the simplicity.
0 likesIt's probably not just a spinny spell. In order to go where Tank wants to go, or to not be blown back by random breezes, it has to actively change the blade pitch on different blades, very rapidly. And there must be something there to counteract the torque or, when the propeller spun in one direction, Tank would spin in the other direction.
0 likesIt's technical and sophisticated and probably far more complex and danger-prone than it needs to be. So I'll assume Twilight made it.
I have a theory about diamond tiara's mom.do you remember that mare that looks like diamond tiara but older in ''read it and weep'' if you look her you can see A LOT of simular looks they share. Same coat color, blue eyes, and same hair color. It would also explain why we don't see her mom often but with her dad instead because she's busy in the hospital. (I think Hasbro's keeping a secret again ;-) !!)
0 likesMaybe celestia had much more magic then what we see in the show and some Of celestias magic is on it and thats why rainbow had to chose that propeller
0 likesMaybe all creatures in Equestria have magic in them, and the propeller is drawing the magic from Tank.
0 likesI think the axel is magical, with some sort of looping or never-ending spell, either from Celestia, or Twilight. Make sense?
0 likespegasi have some magic in them, but it's not like unicorn/alicorn magic, maybe dash is using her little bit of magic to give power to tank's propeller
0 likesactually, pegasi and earth ponies have magic, they just dont use it in the same way. so i think it rainbow dash's pegasus magic that causes the propeller to spin.
0 likeswell you know how only selesteas and lunas hair does that speashal wavy thing? i think its something like that. you can espeshaly see it with lunas hair that it almost looks like its constantly surround by her magic, it could have started out as practice by constantly having to have the spell up, that could explane why they are both so good at magic, and if so, it wouldn't be so hard for selestea to have this going the same time as her hair beacas shes doing it all the time anywase without even thinking about it, and if she can comand the sun from so far away range wont be a problem and she never realy looks at her hair ether to keep the spell up if she is, so she wouldn't have to be able to see it. sorry bou't my spelling
0 likescould he be casting the magical energy
2 likesI have an answer myself. In Tanks for the Memories, you can see Rainbow dash spin the propeller, and it starts up. Hydroelectricity?
0 likesJust like remote controls the propeller has a battery which is a gem seeming that it aspens or contains magic
0 likesI think that Selestia put a spell on it so she doesn't have to
0 likesmake it work everyday
Tank is the pet of the element of loyalty, maybe he is magical, or twilight casted a spell on tank. Or on the propeller
0 likesIt could be that tank has magic and some how is propelling it himself. Or rainbow dash is controlling it by her own magical abilities since all ponies have their own amount of magic, as shown by Tirek's episode. (Don't remember the name. Twilights kingdom? Maybe)
0 likesI still love the looping spell idea better. It's more likely.
0 likeshe controls it in "tanks full of memorys" when takn was on the ground he seemed t stop it
0 likeshow about, since friendship is magic, maybe rd's magic of love and friendship is powering it. I mean in 2 episodes, RD is shown to L-O-V-E, love Tank so since (i'll say it again,) (in the literal sense,) friendship(or love) is magic that could power it.
0 likesI think its the gems that store magic was made into the piece that turns the propeller and it can use the magic again and again and the magic turns on when it starts to spin like in the episode tank for the memories
0 likesHi Brony Notion,
0 likesI just watched your changeling video and thought about what you said like one of the mane six being a changeling...aaaaand the pony that came up on my mind was Applejack! Why her? Because in one episode Applejack sang a lullaby to Applebloom and the line "Cutiemark won't change you, no matter what ya get..." Wich is what caused Applebloom's infinite nightmare thingy, because she kept thinking about it.
And Applejack is probably a changling who's doing this on purpose so she could drive her crazy and start chaos in Ponyvulle but maybe,just maybe Princess Luna knew this and went into Applebloom's dream and saved her.Even in if Troubleshoes was innocent,she went all angry on him!
usually i would say "it's just a pony Show on TV and the animators can do whatever they want" (even if that's propably right) but i was wondering about that too. why did they do this. it's really strange. i think it's a Kind of magic wenn don't know. i mean we know the magic of friendship, unicorn magic, alicorn magic and "natural magic" weich zecora uses (sorry, i'm sure i forgot one or more). but there are propably kinds of magic wenn don't know (yet).

Now, hear me out ok? This is my first theory. It may be solar powered! Now Tank's propeller glows yellow, the color of the Sun. Also, you never see Tank flying at night.
0 likesit is like the book it contains magic and the propeller makes energy that turns to magic simple
0 likesTanks propeller is probably powered by a gem. somepony might've loaded the gem full of magic and put in in the bottom of tanks propeller. when it runs out, Rainbow has to take it back to the somepony and get it loaded again. ^-^
0 likesTank's propeller doesn't work when it's not on him....
2 likesTURTLE MAGIC?!?!?
Maybe Rainbow Dash can, in a weird sort of way, use magic. We've all most likely seen her give Tank's propeller a slight push so it will rotate, and the one time I did, immediately after, the magical aura appeared. Maybe I'm right, maybe Brony Notion's right. Who knows?
0 likesReplies (1)
Don't quote me on this at all. Ever.
0 likesYou know how on the smooze video you said that crystals can contain magic well what if they had a crystal inside of the propeller or underneath that cap to start the magic and make it fly
0 likeswhen i saw in winter wrap up how aj didn't know twilight used magic, i thought maybe the reason why they show the bubles there is so no one would get confused. Cause we can see them but yet ni the show the ponies dont also i was thinkin couldn't Twilight make a spell where the propelers went the direction tank wanted it to go? Think about it or them
0 likesMaybe the spell was cast to draw the power from tank.
0 likesJust a thing, but maybe the magic is coming from Tank himself? I don't know, but maybe some types of animals like Tank can use magic. But he doesn't have a Cutiemark because only ponies do. Or maybe he has one, but... I dunno. Possibly a special type of turtle? So the magic is powering the propeller, and the magic is coming from tank. But he doesn't have a horn. Well, someponies think that Earth ponies have magic. But, they don't have horns. Maybe that's the same with Tank? Just a thought, anyways.
0 likesperhaps it was enchanted, like various objects around equestria. that way the pony who cast the enchatment dident need to continualy cast the spell.
0 likesI just had a crazy idea... "How it's made" in Equestria. no plot. no conflict. just that lady from "How it's Made" narrating to us how an ordinary obiect is made in Equestria.
0 likesObviously it's a complex magical storage device, probably designed by Twilight.
0 likesI think I know why when a unicorn does magic or a alicorn does magic it goes out into the air maybe then probably the propeller catches the magic in the air and maybe it just turns yellow? Idk what do you think?
0 likesI think tanks propeller is spinning from the energy of the sun and the sun is raise by celestia like solar propeller
0 likesIt could be like an operator, when ever Tank's propeller is turned on a unicorn use's it's magic to make it spin.

0 likesidk just thinking no hate
Celestia's Magic from rising the sun flows threw the air into the propeller there for he can fly OR its Twilight's magic from when she built the propeller and it changed color in the contraption
0 likesWhat if the axis between the metal part that tank wears is enchanted like an artifact if earth ponies and other sentient species like changlings can use artifacts why can't tank
0 likesthe reason that tanks pepeller works like that is bc hes awesome id love to have a pet like that lol not just bc ov his personality but he can make my cat go wimp instead ov hiss xd
0 likesOr mabey twilight used a spell that connects to tanks brain so when he wants to fly the magic activates and does what he wants
0 likesLet’s finish this theory. Tank is magical, the end.
1 likehas anyone noticed twigligt´s cutie mark represents the elements of harmony.
0 likesthere i five small stars around the big, so six stars six elements. i mean there is a connection!
maybe its solar powered because tank loves the sun (or because he's cold blooded)
0 likesIt could be enchanted, because enchantments being done by ponies is cannon in mlp.
0 likesActually, turtles are fast swimmers.. And tortoises are the one's that are slow. And Tank is a tortoise, not a turtle.
0 likesUh, ever considered it could just be an enchantment? A rune on the underside of the strap?
0 likesI don't think it is magic I think it is technology
0 likesI think that it is a spell casted by princess Celestia. Judging by the glow of the propeller
0 likesPrepare yourself, for I shall explain magic with science!!!!
0 likesas @emotionless TwilightS said, all living things have magic inside them.
Well, tank's helicopter rotor can pull the "magic" from his brain when he thinks something. Because the brain is just a bunch of electrical conduits in our universe, what if it was magic conduits along with electrical conduits in the MLP universe.
That way tank could control his helicopter thing with just thought while powering it with the thought as well, the magic part of his brain could be fueling it while the electric part of his brain controls it.
You may be asking "how is he in control over it when it's not on his head?"
And to that, I say "YOUR BODY IS THE CONDUIT!!"
As for why he can do it, rainbow dash probably just asked someone to enchant a propeller so that it will spin when the controller wants it to. Not to sure on that bit.
OVER ANALYSIS POWERS ACTIVATE!!!!

Things moving?-enchanted for a short timeline. I say they are encahnted to move. but just for a little time, because the Unicorns need their magic back, thats why most of the uniicorns aren't able to perform more than one spell, they haven't got enough magic energy
Tanks propeller? enchanted by Celestia, gave a small part of her magic energy in it, making it moving forever.

In hearts. Warming eve it said the unicorns raised the sun and the moon so is cellestia and lunna not the only one
0 likesthat's one huge mystery no one knows what is causing that magic this mystery will never be solved because people don't know what is the magic coming from its not even coming a pony I'm sure of it. This case is mysterious, if a pony was causeing that magic there should be one walking and using it to move tank's propeller, but there is't one so that means that the problem is that the magic never was coming from a pony not even a book like what u said was coming from.

0 likesIt's MAGI- oh wait
Wait.. How did Sunsets book ever get to the pony world? Shouldn't a letter have woodshed into Celestias face, like Twilights messages (sent by spike). It makes sense, (ish) because Twilight made a new portal to Canterlot High. But that was after she received the book. Speaking about how the book got there, wasn't it supposed to go to Celestia? Instead of on Twilights book cart sort thing? Oh, and how did the librarian working for Twilight not get spooked or something by the book just teleporting there? But we don't know if he did, because he was off screen. If he did get spooked by the book, he would have said something like 'Uh.. Your Highness.. Your order of books includes one glowin' n' buzzin'. Are you expecting this? It spooked me..'. But again, we don't know that! Share your thoughts in the comment below this comment.. (?) Thanks for reading!

Also wouldn't so much say "Clash" as much as "Mesh" with Magic and Tech,
0 likesand I dare to say that copter I bet ya was in some degree "fueled" or run by magic basic mechanics, like a Combustion or Electric one would be for us.

And as for the source being gathered off of, I would go to say something akin to the 'Gem Battery' and 'the air/world' at large is not a bad idea.
Their world is saturated by and with "Magic" at large, so simply gathering enough of the ether to run a small propeller system would be simple enough, imo

@Megan W Okay, this is the only way I can comment for some reason, but when I first saw the episode I swear there was a part about Lyra gearing up Tank. I looked back and was astounded to find no such scene. The color of Lyra's magic matches the aura in Tank's propeller. Wouldn't it make sense that the propeller is powered by the pony who's special talent is inventing? Just something I'd like to share. If you could re-coment this somehow it would be greatly appreciated. =)

0 likeslol last bi hirlaus
0 likesNotion, I've actually thought about this.
0 likesI've come to recognize magic as a sort of electricity, meaning that while it's very possible for a creature (ie unicorns or alicorns) to generate it, it also can work like electricity and be conducted through wires.
This is my personal headcanon on the matter:
There's a gemstone in the heart of the device, concealed from view. There's an magitrician (magic electrician) in Ponyville that has a shop that builds and sells machines like that. They're calibrated so they can recognize their owners' wishes, so Tank can control it. The magitrician's Magic aura is yellow, like celestia's and the aura of the helicopter axle.
Thoughts?
I have heard theorists say that gems and jewels contain magic within, maybe this powers it. Another possibility is that all creatures possess magic and though they can't use it on there own the machine can still help use it. The final possibility I have considered is that it feeds off its environment, powering it.
0 likesI would like to draw your attention to something else, in the ticket master towards the end, non-unicorns were shown levitating the tickets using a gold aura. I think that the tickets were enchanted in such a way to enable non unicorns natural magic to be transform into telekinsis for the purpose of levitating the tickets. Tanks propeller was enchanted in such a way for him to be able to magically manipulate the propeller to spin, and perhaps lean. Gold might be the default color for non-unicorn magic.
0 likesRegarding Tank's propeller, the headcanon I adapted for it has always been similar to your idea about looping spells. Since magic and technology BOTH exist, it seems possible that they clash and work together in some ways. I always believed that the propeller was a buyable object for wingless pegasi pets, wherein the item is imbued with the spell already and is activated/looped through special circumstances (i.e. when Tank stops moving, the spell stops and if the propeller is started by hand/hoof, the spell activates.)
0 likesI was going to say: maybe it harvests magic from the sun and thus is solar-powered? Remember that, at least according to me, magic pervades everything in Equestria, so Celestia, being the princess of the sun, could probably cast some sort of spell to soak up the sun's rays.
0 likesMaybe it IS the case of just enchanting an item? Twilight's "want it, need it" spell is also proof that items themselves can be enchanted, then they become magic on their own to serve a single purpose without the unicorn/alicorn, etc. needing to actively use magic anymore.
0 likesin the episode, i saw RD spin the propeller, and then the axle glowed yellow. my theory is that someone (most likely Celestia, thank you) cast a spell on the propeller that, whenever the blades are spun, it activates the spell
0 likesas for deactivating the spell, maybe it's set up with a weight sensor. since Tank's whole weight is hanging from it, it wouldn't be impossible for it to shut off once it recognizes that the weight it reads is no longer Tank's limp body weight
I think there's probably a small gem inside the spindle/axle. It either harvests energy from the general magic of Tank's surroundings or is strong enough to just provide it. It might even be rechargeable.
0 likesSo gems and minerals gems seem to have a lot of magic in them as seen through the show and in plenty of the notions other videos. But minerals... They're similar to gems in many ways so do they have some properties of magic as well? So maybe tanks propeller axle is made out of a mineral that can conserve magic once it's cast (like a charge) and loop it.
0 likesIt's possible that maybe some gems (that store magic) act as batteries and putting in more gems every day or even more time has the magic work.
0 likesMy theory is that it could have been simply enchanted, like other objects such as comics, toys, and even brooms. I do think that Twilight drew the magical energy from the book to power the machine. That book was enchanted by Celestia, I presume, but the aura it had was magenta, as of Twilight's. This means they could have gotten another unicorn to enchant it, but who-ever draws away power, will have the drawer's aura. What do ya think, Notion? Also, you should do a face reveal at the next milestone!
0 likesTORTOISE!
1 likeIn all seriousness, it should be possible to store magic, or more specifically units of magic, or mana, in certain objects, such as gems. We have seen objects being imbued with magic (Flim and Flam with the Cider Squeezy), and also magic transference between objects (the book you mentioned). It should thus be possible to store mana inside objects. After all, how else would you get powerful Artifacts like the Elements of Harmony or lesser enchanted items like the Alicorn Amulet?
Now I'm going to go into fanfic territory, specifically my own: Thirdson Gearhead of Herd Verdant has an unusual ability for an Earth Pony, which makes him a skilled gadgeteer and inventor. He has tinkered with quite a bit of technology purely in the interest of making life easier for the ponies around him, especially his family. He has made a plethora of farming equipment with improved mechanisms for them. In Ponyville, Gearhead continues to make gadgets for different ponies, and he sells them to him. One of his gadgets you have all seen by now? Tank's propeller and its harness. That's why the blades can bend when they impact someone or somepony, but they do not break or injure anypony: Gearhead designed them that way.
As to the magic, despite Gearhead's ability to manipulate mana, which he learned near the end of First Gear, that golden aura does not belong to him: his is turquoise. Instead, Gearhead asks other Unicorns to recharge the selection of the gadgets he has made that run on magic as part of their payment for the things he sells them. Different Unicorns are available to do the favour at different times, so the aura is not always yellow, but whenever we see Tank using the propeller it's usually somepony with a golden aura. And often enough, it's Princess Celestia herself who is available to do the deed -- although most often that's because Gearhead has gone to Canterlot or training, and not because Tia came to Ponyville.
As a side-note, I do not believe all ponies can see magic auras, otherwise somepony could have easily identified Cadenza as not-Cadence. Some ponies do have abilities or techniques which allow them to do this, though. For example, the Third Conclave of Flowing Shadows has a magic technique called Shift Focus that directly affects vision through the eyes. It is a well-guarded secret, so not all Unicorns have it, however Dusk and Dawn Shadow did teach it to Gearhead because they were friends. At the time Gearhead still couldn't use magic at all, but they still taught him. And now he can use the technique, which helps him suss out which Unicorn has done what spell.
Tank could be acting as a battery for the device or perhaps it has an ability to store a magical charge. Storing a charge would mean that a creature able to exert magic would have to fill it or perhaps, like someone else mentioned, the potential for solar power.
0 likesHere is my theories the magic comes from Tank himself
0 likesEverything has magic in Equestria. Ponies are just blessed with ways to use it. Earth ponies do their magic through contact (grow plant break granite with bare hooves). Pegasi manipulate air current and fly with those small wings thanks to magic (case and point Bulk Bicep). Plus everypony can grap thing with their hooves. I will go as far as say that there is a tiny bit of magic in the human world as well. but in Equestria the magic is so abundant that every creature has some mesure of it.
Maybe you can keep the magic going because how does celestia hold up the sun to stop it from dropping without always using her horn, for example when its midday she isn't using her horn for that purpose

Just think about it, it has lots of advanced tech (as we've seen in Tanks For the Memories) its responsible for generating clouds lightning and possibly (this is all my opinion) a backup power for the sun since I've and I'm sure lots of you have Celestia is getting less powerful, she didn't even try to get Luna to consider taking control of half the Elements of Harmony to defeat Discord she simply said "I am no longer connected to them." as if she couldn't take them back, she unintentionally lost against Chrysalis, and sent Twilight to the Crystal Empire instead of sending Luna or someone else more powerful or maybe even going herself and leaving Luna in charge (I'm sure a few 24 hour nights can't be that bad) instead she used it as a learning experience, this seems to be Celestia's alibi and being to weak to even take a trip that makes me think the she might be relying partially on the pegasai to power the sun. Thank you for reading what I had to say.
0 likesI think of it as the equestrian earth is full of magic. Unicorns can actively control it, Pegasus can use it to reach incredible speeds, and earth ponies use it for strength. Tirek steals it from every type, stealing flying, strength and unicorn magic so that's why I think this. Maybe this propeller is being controlled by Tank harnessing the magic of the earth and air. He is in full control of were and how fast he is flying so it could be possible. If this is, why can't other animals control this magic?
0 likeshave you ever heard of enchanted items. the axel's enchantment probably activates as soon as the propellers are spun.
0 likesOr maybe it's able to extract magic from living organisms, because as someone said below, every organism has unique magic inside, probably not only ponies, but turtles too.
0 likesThey said about that in one of the episodes, that there is magic in everypony or something
(That's a fulfillment to my comment below :D) (I couldn't respond to my own comment)
Maybe it is powered by gems because like you have said, gems could hold or store magic. Besides, how is it confirmed that it goes on forever? Maybe it stops at one time and has to be 'refilled with something like magic.
0 likesI think that the magic for the propeller is actually created, kinda like generating electricity for us. In Tanks for the Memories, Rainbow Dash started up his propeller by spinning it. If spinning it was the way to generate enough magic for it to start, it would be generating the energy it needed to actually work. That's why no pony needs to put a spell on it.
0 likesTanks propeller is shown when not in motion in Tanks for the Memories. While not in motion there is no yellow aura but when Rainbow Dash hits the propeller and puts it in motion again the aura returns. Perhaps the propeller is like a car battery and once it is switched on it both supplies energy and charges itself, thus preventing the need of a spell. It's just a theory though
0 likesThe magic powering the propeller may come from tank himself. If ponies could figure out how harness the magical energies of living things then just drawing enough magic to power the spell without completely draining the user would be a simple task. However note that the aura didn't start until rainbow starts the propeller. So it may contain like a magic generator and that powers the propellers. Thus it would form an infinite loop.
0 likesmy theory:
0 likeswhen flim and flam showed up and during the part where they demonstrated how it worked, they put some magic in the thingy and after that, it was running to make cider. The machine kept making cider after their magic was put in and they can turn the cider machine on for as long as they wanted during the contest to see which pony can make more cider. But I also think that it was worn out of magic the last time it was used (or maybe first). Then later on the show in Rainbow Rocks, Twilight used the big confusing mathematical machine to get to Canterlot High. When she was about to leave, she said "I can come when ever I want to," and I theorize that tank was propelled by the same magical spell in these two events. But since Twilight used the magic from the book, that magic maybe responded to the machine and had this spell that was ever lasting. In the other side, Sunset Shimmer had the same personal book she used to send messages to Princess Celestia. And the book still worked. That, I theorize as a spell, was an ever lasting magic and Sunset Shimmer said "maybe it still works," it means she used it a long time ago, we know already. Yet she was right, it still works. Maybe Tank was given an ever lasting levitation spell by some-pony. But what I am leaving out is who gave that spell to Tank. My theory is either Princess Celestia or a professional Magician because we have all seen ponies with the same color aurora glow. Like Flim and Flam were green, but to prove it was not because they were siblings, take Rarity and Sweetie Bell. The best guess I can make is Princess Celestia casting an Ever Lasting Levitation Spell on Tank to make his propellor fly. And I also have something else to say. when we watched the episode "Tanks for the Memories," after the theme song to when Fluttershy was checking up Tank, his propellor was not activated and then Rainbowdash had to spin the wings to make it activate. The same thing happened when they came to Spike for advice. They exited and Tank was flying. But I came across how that even though Spike was a flightless dragon, Tank was a flying turtle xDDD. Anyways, what if every pony, even pegasai, had magic because Rainbowdash knew how to activate the spell on Tank's propellor. What if she was given access to this thing where she can magically levitate things only she wants to levitate. Well to go against this theory, take a look at the episode "Just for Sidekicks" and when Rainbowdash was saying goodbye to Tank, he wasn't flying :O. After Rainbowdash left, he was in the air. Rainbowdash didn't make Tank fly. But maybe it was Tank who controls the magic. I don't really know. Anyways, I hope to see an explanation :)
Well, Flim and Flam said that they could give some magic with their machine. Maybe it's possible to enchant an item, so that it doesn't require anyone to cast a spell, or whatever, instead it has it's own independent magic captured in it. I think that's what Tank's propeller does
0 likesI am not sure, but pest pony has had his machine, and as far as I am concerned, he wasn't an unicorn neither alicorn, and his machine was glowing with magic aurora wasn't it?
Tell me what you think :)
(I'm not a native)
Hmm..... I think that Tank's propeller is simply enchanted by somepony's magic, nothing complicated. Since it's not constantly being supported by an actual visual magic aura like most spells do, I think Twilight or someone just put a spell on it so it'd work..... Forever. I do find a lot of interest in something deeper, although personally I just believe it's enchanted.
0 likes(Yes. Snails is behind it all. Illuminati confirmed.)
Solar powered, gets it's magic from the sun. It ties into the color of magic being the same a Celestia's
0 likesBN, I have something you really need to put into an episode. Remember in the first season, first episode of MLP Twilight was reading books. She was reading them from like hyroglihpics....... but later on in the show they started just making scribbles and puncuation like real life!
0 likesi think is a incantation, used for celestia like in the third episode of first season "The Ticket Master" on the end, applejack pick a ticket with the same magic, i think is a type off spel premeditated used by celestia to do easy things without your presence
0 likesJust a note on tech... It is kinda mixed, but most of the tech seems to come from the early 1900's/late 1800's. It's probably just animator's inconsistency.
0 likesIs it possible the axle in tank's propeller has some sort of generator? We do see Rainbow Dash jumpstart it in that season 5 episode (the name escapes me)
I've just started watching your work and I've noticed 2 things. You've had decent animation even from the beginning and the intro always seems to be interrupting you and I always hear it as more of "Fuck youuuuuu" instead of "friendship is magic". Not that you should change it. It's been so long it's like tradition now.
0 likesWell, I think that since ponies, unicorns, pegusi and alicorns have a type of magic (whether shown or not) and that friendship IS magic, maybe the friendship between Tank and Rainbow Dash is creating a magic, therefore sustaining the flight of the propeller.
0 likesReplies (1)
Oh, and about your thingy after the outro, Tank isn't a turtle, he's a tortoise.
0 likesMaybe the propeller is just something like an enchanted item?
0 likesBut then again, if that's the case, why aren't these kinds of enchantments more commenplace in a society in which (probably) two thirds of its' population aren't even capable of performing spells and especially earth ponies depending on their mouthes & hooves alone to cope with their everyday lifes?
Perhaps it's something like a rare drop... ahem artifact?
Or a unique contraption invented/build/enchanted and fitted for Dash's/Tank's special requirements by one of their friends (Twilight/Cestia etc)?
There at least seem to be several occations in which objects in Equestria have been enchanted by certain knowledgeable individuals (the Inspiration Manifastion Tome or perhaps even the Alicorn-Amulett depending on the question wether or not you consider the gem to be a source of natural or enchanted power?) or inherit an own natural (?) magical power (your gem-theory)... Perhaps we'll see a glimpse in future episodes. You know since Twilight kind of foreshadowed something like that in reference to the Staff of Longi... "Sameness" and all. ^_°!
But most probably it's just a simple case of "convenient magic" by the writers! ;P
Okay Notion, here's my theory: The magic comes from Rainbowdash. We've learned that Pegasi have magic inside them, based on the fact that Princess Cadence's magic was strong enough to get her made into an alicorn. So what if yellow is the glow of RD's magic aura? It feels like a simple intent spell wouldn't be too hard for Twilight to conjure. Simply whenever Rainbowdash wanted Tank to fly, the spell enabled her own magic to automatically make Tank fly. Twilight could have linked Rainbow with Tank's propeller perhaps. It doesn't seem like it'd be that hard to do, if we are going on the fact that all Pegasi have magic, not just Cadence. But I'd also like to factor in the Sonic Rainboom that only Rainbowdash has been able to do. That has to be magical, right? I don't know, its just a theory. :-)
0 likesOk so what if when rainbow or anyone else spins the blade it collects in tye magic from the air and area.We know all of equestria is magic so this would make sense. It might work like the sun is magic as well.The yellow color might be the color of magic im the air or the color of the suns magic. We see the rod has the magic so maybe its like a lighting rod and solar panel.The blade collects magic and the rod stores it and makes the blade keep spinning to collect more magic.
0 likesI thought this video was going to be about the physical impossibility of it being stable without a tail rotor. =D
0 likesThe ending surprised me.
What if the propeller is enchanted. I mean we have Seen other enchanted items such as the elements and the Alicon element. We have seen something similar to the magic around tanks propeller. In the two parter, the Crystal Empire, we see multiple MAGIC traps Sombra set up. When he was not there, a dark magic aura is still seen. Whether this is helpful or not, I just though I should share my idea with the world. Stay pony my friends.
0 likesIt could be a special kind of metal that stores magic
0 likesI like the idea of Celestia more then snails hers why. Tank is mostly in the sky. You know what else is in the sky. The SUN the magic from tanks propeller must be from Celestia because she is practically the sun.Tank must be getting his magic from there.
0 likesOkay.... the reason why only the axel spins is because some unicorn could have casted a spell on it that when it is put on, he can fly or 10 hours or moons... just like how rarity got wings for a period of time or...
0 likesMaybe when princess celestia is raising the sun, some sort of magic can reflect, allowing the spell to work .
Either way could make sense if you think about it.
Every pony has magic. Unicorns has some of the most blatant and the most versatile magic. The stuff we normally think of when we think of magic. But it has been shown and said that both Earth ponies and Pegasus ponies have magic. After all how can magic be stolen from them if they don't have it?
0 likesEarth ponies we know have it in strength, there's some evidence that it could come in other ways. Like how the apples always fall into buckets when Applejack does nothing but kick the tree. Pinkie Pie seems to have some empathy to her. Ponies light up just a little too quickly when she's trying AND all of Ponyville can sing with her when she bursts into song.
Pegasus is easier to see than Earth ponies, they just don't have a glow like Unicorns. They manipulate the weather. Walking on clouds, pushing them around, making wind, causing rain, all this good stuff is magic. They fly when those wings shouldn't be capable of holding them up, and this is the important part.
I think Tank is flying via Rainbow Dash magic. Her flight power is connected to that doodad. Could easily be that Twilight made the connection for them, but it is still Rainbow's own power that keeps it spinning so Tank can fly.
Did everyone forgot The Ticket Master? At the end of the episode the golden tickets were levitating by themselves, wrapped in a yellow glow. Coincidence? I think not.
0 likesMy theory, is that it is either a solar-panel less solar power thing, or it has something to to with what Tank wants it to do, cause its not always spinning is it?
0 likesOh well just a thought.
Good luck with your exams.

I always thought it involved some kind of magically charged battery.
0 likesMaybe there is a gem inside of the part of the propellar that glows, or maybe its made out of gems!
1 likeI have a theory:
0 likesIn the second season of mlp episode Sonicrainboom, or whatever
We saw that Twilight cast a spell that didn't need all the magic at one time, same with the breezies episode in season 4
We also saw in the Canterlot wedding Queen of the Changelings magical aura was never changed to a light blue, Cadences color it remained green
Like that gooey stuff they had.
What if Celestia has been there but changed into a different pony
This is a stretch of what is probably not true but I wanted to put it out
Even if the magical aura is still there on Tanks propeller
I have a little more to this if you would like to here more just tell me

I mean like Princess Celestia cast the spell as a different pony, wasn't to clear about that.
0 likesIn any case, Princess Celestia proves that a unicorn's magic does not necessarily match the color of their eyes. That's something I have been wondering about before.
0 likesMaybe the triangle bit is a dark crystal, and it keeps/stores the magic
0 likesI don't actually no, just an idea :3
Well it could be that it is enchanted by one pony and the propeller works from the enchantment.
0 likesbefore watching I think that Celestia maybe grants her magic to the propellor, since its got a yellow aura like Celly, but idk
1 likeI think tank's propellor was built by a pony. The he used a spell to make it continuously turn when needed.

5. The machine gets magic from the turtles shell
6. Illuminati isn't particularly made from a zipper it's just made that way because cartoon zippers look like that
7. Snails isn't smart enough to produce magic he can't even make a light spell without extreme effort programming a machine with magic would be to hard
ELECTRICITY!!! if the colour matches with Celestia.... It works really well as being powered by solar power?
0 likesFINALY SOMEONE HAS TAKEN ON THIS TOPIC,I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT
0 likesTHIS FOREVER!
LOL Illuminati anyway i think princess Celestia just gave a little magic on tank's propeller like you said in the video but she just put a spell that will maintain the magic that she gave.After all she is the strongest alicorn and we saw how easy it was to ask Celestia for her to do that.

I think the glow is magic signals going though the air cause when rainbow spun his propeller it started the glow
0 likesWhat if celestia does make it work but here magic is put on a time loop so it's refreshing in a time loop so it never stops this probably a dumb theory but I just wanted to point it out anyway

We all know he's a creature of some sort but what exactly?
theory is quite wrong the magic is used to hold the thing in place but like propleller hats u see in movies, the propeller spins but since the turtle is heavy ,you need magic to hold the proppeller in place.then twilight cast a spell on it which is everlasting so probably the aura turned yellow from the spell cause probably the long lasting spells are yellow
0 likeslike who agrees!!
I feel that because rainbow dash fly's and wants tank to fly why wouldn't it not be weird for the magic to be from the air surrounding it would only make sense it could have had a spell put on it to conduct power from the air to move the propeller
0 likesCouldn't it be conducting magic from Rainbow Dash? We know all ponies have a trace of magic from the Tirek's attack on trying to get all the allycore magic in Equestria?
0 likesMaybe, seeing as sunset shimmer's book is magic, so is tank's propeller
0 likes@The Brony Notion I believe that Tank's propeller works on magic, but not the magic you think it is. Normal pony magic has to have the magic contently going until the pony's magic gets weak or the pony gets hurt. Judging from when Cadence was getting weak because she had a force field up that (since The Crystal Empire was just found again) not even alicorns can use their magic for a long period of time. Now you might be like "well Princess Celestia is the most powerful pony and will always be," well that's not the case. Celestia is the most powerful at the moment, Twilight does have the potential to become more powerful than Celestia and even take her place in "Pony God." What I was saying is that Celestia can't hold her magic that long if her horn was activated or not, the axis of the propeller is enchanted. The reason why I'm saying this is because enchanted items are like that forever or until the item breaks. I hope this gives you a clue for your theory. If you find that both of our theories have information in it that could be true, feel free to use it in a video where you redue the theory.

0 likesI have a video idea, or more of a theory:
0 likesThis explains why Celestia and Luna have lived for thousands of years, and also why Twilight is not gonna outlive her friends. Celestia and Luna was born alicorns, and is then original alicorns. But Twilight and Cadence was born as normal ponies and then transformed to alicons. I belive that alicorns is innmortal, but that those who arent born alicorns and then turned into that still have the normal livespand of an average pony.
This means that Celestia and Luna are innmortal, but Twilight and Cadence will still die of old age like a normal pony.

0 likesYour end gags are fantastic. XD
0 likesFinally! My brother and I were wondering when somebody would ask about how Tank flies. I think the theory of Celestia just casting some looping spell works.
Also something I've been wanting to talk about but have kept forgetting to, in your video about gems it all seemed pretty convincing, but the thing about Dragons is that if they had magic why wouldn't Tirek steal that too? If he hadn't of stolen from we could've said he can only steal from ponies but since he does we can assume he can steal magic from all things that have magic, or at least enough to matter. Though you'd think with his "fire mail' Spike would have magic, or is that just because of Celestia? So many questions!
Lastly, why does Tirek have the power to steal magic? I mean for Queen Chrysalis her magic makes sense, a Changeling having the power to gain power from love, but a Centaur who takes magic and makes it his own and grows stronger because of it? Interesting.
My guess is that 1) the unicorn that made it had yellow eyes (as their horn aura seems to match their eye color) 2) it has some type of mana condenser so it doesn't need to be recharged (as you never see it getting recharged) 3) it has a type of levitation spell on it controlled by the goggles (which Tank is always wearing when he has the flight cap on) 4) propeller is there to help the magic under the principle that form follows function 5) this is a prototype, possibly originally intended for a pegasus that lost use of their wings
0 likesMy theory is that magic can be imbued into items like the book and the propeller. That would explain all other magic artifacts
1 likeI believe it is what is called an enchantment, a kind of spell that alters the nature of an object for an extended period.
0 likesAs I recall Faust onc said that everything that appears to run on electricity actually runs on magic. Her word isn't absolutely canonical anymore but that does make a great deal of sense. The Flim Flam Brothers mentioned that they were using their magic to power their machine, meaning that magic can be used like electricity in that sense. If magic is like electricity then it must have ways to transfer and store it as you can electricity. Going on the "gems are magic" theory gems would act as magical batteries, that can hold a charge when a unicorn imbues it with magic. In effect this would be similar to in LoK where Firebenders provide most of the worlds elecrtricity. This also gives unicorns specialized jobs which only they can do, like the Earth Ponies as farmers, and the pegasi as weather managers.
0 likesThus we can assume that Celestia came up with that jetpack's design, then put her magic into a gem small enough to either fit in the shell cover, or in the bulge in the mid section of the propeller.
As a side note now I have an idea what kind of minimum wage dead end job my ponysona would end up doing.
I don't think it would be too difficult for any unicorn to charge certain devices with unicorn magic. Tank's propeller is a fairly minor and easy machine to manipulate magic, but there's other, far more complex machines that do the same, and one that stands out as we actually saw the magic start the machine were Flim and Flam's Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000
0 likesI think that just as ponies talents might be to do one thing, i think there are enchanters, who can be hired to make things that just do stuff. Also this may actually be an example of pegasus magic. they make an entire city float around, making something for a flying animal or pet seems really easy. All those gadgets and gizmos in Cloudsdale factory and in Dash's home. The Pegasus community would need ways to set things down or move them around so they don't fall off the cloud.
0 likesI always assumed the propeller ran on a infused magic source almost like how you theorize gems can store magic.
0 likesI personally thought that the propellor was just enchanted. By either Twilight or from an enchanted store. (Similar to the enchanted comic books one.)
0 likesThe spell could activate when Rainbow spins the propellor and the color could be from Tank himself as he is the one steering the device. Basically making Tank's "magic" yellow.
I have a thought that it works like it creates magic/energy while it's spinning which keeps it going, so rainbow dash has to start it and the machine does the rest
0 likesWhat I think is that all of the electrical machines are powered by magic, like a magic battery or something like that. That's how all of the flashlights and other objects not plugged in work. Also, we see in rainbow rocks for just about a frame that magic travels through two terminals. This could mean anything. It could mean that they plug stuff into a magical outlet or they really use electricity. What if there was a large magical stone that they used to send power to all of the magic outlets the exist to use video game machines which we see for a tiny bit in Hearts And Hooves Day and TVs, what ever needs to be powered up. We know there is magic other than unicorn and alicorn magic, so maybe there is a sort of electrical magic? Interesting concept.
0 likesI always thought the pyramid in the center is a mana battery of sorts. It would explain the magic coloring.
0 likesI think that items like certain books in rainbow rocks and tank's propeller can be enchanted by unicorns or other magic users and when the magic is activated it shows the magical aura of whoever enchanted the item
0 likesi think it is basically a engine & generator build into one, upon initial activation, the spinning motion generates the power, then the power is used to spin the propeller. and so the cycle continues. since it is magic,and the engine and generator are one and the same, there should be no lost of energy, and so the amount of power generated by the propeller spinning should be equal to the amount needed to spin the propeller. and so the great mystery of tank's propeller is solved. ;3
0 likesWhen dash spun tanks propeller in one of the season five episodes then it started to glow so in my a opinion the glow would be electricity that causes it to to spin. Spinning and stopping the propeller would be like an on and off button.
0 likesI'm sure Rainbow Dash (Or Twilight, herself) just called in a favor from Celestia. :P
1 likeIn Canterlot Wedding, Shiny Armor was maintaining the forcefield the whole time, until it was broken. And yet, for a large majority of the episodes, His horn wasn't glowing.
I guess Celestia is using so little power to spin the propeller she can do it subconsciously, or even when she's asleep.
But Hey, that's just a theory. A Pony.. Theory? idk, whatever.
Since most machinery runs on magic, it is a possibility a small magical battery runs inside of the propeller.
0 likesThe magic is probably using a gem with the spell bound to the gem to make the propeller work continuously
0 likesMy theory is that the object has a spell cast apon it by twilight to alway work when the propellor is spinning. As proving in "Tanks for the memories". Now the reason why it's a yellow ora instead of a purple ora is because the spell is ever lasting. So the ora is a different color. But hey, it's just a theory. A PONY theory! Thanks for reading! Bro hoof! ..../)
0 likesWhat if it's not only ponies who contain magic. Unicorns and alicorns are the only ponies able to harness it in such a variety of ways but it's obvious that the other two species and discord have their own magic (show in twilight's kingdom part 1 & 2). What's stopping us to say that the animals of equestria are not like ours and are instead, also capable of small magical acts (ie food storage over hibernation and/or locating said food afterwards) the propeller seems to be controlled with Tank's mind (it's only active when he wants) so perhaps it's created as a conductor of his own kind of magic like a horn. Just a thought.
0 likesPerhaps there is a gem inside the mechanism somewhere that the metal part draws magic from like a battery.
0 likesLots put into this and came out great good job!
0 likesI had this little silly theory, that since the pegasus magic gives them the ability to fly, maybe Rainbow Dash is powering the machine with her magic?
0 likesOkay, this is probably the third time I posted this on a Brony Notion video, but I theorized something about human sunset shimmer. So, if she became an alicorn, would that mean she raises and sets the sun the the human world? I mean, look at her cutie mark. Sure, it represents the Yin Yang symbol, but red is the color of the sunset, and yellow is the color of the sunRISE in my opinion. What do you think, notion?
0 likesTank clearly has access to one of the Infinity Gems of the ponyverse. I'd say it's the reality gem. The color doesn't match the actual gem, but hey, this is the ponyverse; it could be any color.
0 likesHmm, I don't think they've shown Tank flying without Rainbow Dash around. Perhaps Twilight cast the spell and anchored it to Rainbow Dash. In effect, she might be using her own flying skills to pilot tank by "remote control". RD's pegasus magic, which she does have since Tirek stole it, has become the source of the propeller's power even if RD wasn't the pony who originally cast that spell. Just because it's yellow doesn't automatically make it Celestia's magic. After all, look what happened when Celestia and Twilight used "dark magic" like Sombra was known for.
0 likesits simple all creatures have a certain amount of magic so the propeller could just be Somme special metal that conducts magic
1 likeI always thought that it was solar powered in some way. Maybe it runs off of Celestia's sun magic? :/
0 likesi would like to think that the gem having magic theory is what making it move but for what keeps it going i like to thing it recharges itself OR it is replace with another or both
0 likestwilight had cast a living magic spell on the snowplows in winter wrap up. it didn't require her focus after she had cast it
0 likesTwo weeks with no new videos?! I'm not gonna make it...
0 likesAs for Tank's propeller, I always noticed the glow but never really thought about it much. Maybe it's not magic at all; maybe it's energy. Where the energy comes from, what it does and how it doesn't run out/disappear, I have no idea.
These are Amazing theories that you made up! :D and I keep on telling my friends(which are mlp fans too) about your videos
0 likesi honestly never noticed the magic glow on tanks propeller. i thought it was just battery operated and was going to say you need to stop over analyzing, but youre right as usual..
0 likesIt could be some sort of electric current made from Celestia's magic that lasted for as long as it needed. Oh and it's tortoise not turtle😂.
0 likesIt does stop spinning when it hits something and needs a pony to spin it to get it moving
0 likesHey, notion, I love your videos. I don't know if you take suggestions from viewers, but I have an idea that you might have not thought of, and my brain is not capable of finding the answer.

I think you should talk about pony names next. I mean, not only do we see that the names are crazy, and seem to be very similar to there cutie marks, but we know that the two parts aren't first and last. Theres Apple Bloom, Granny Smith, Applejack (one word, even though in eg the initials on the bass were Aj then J.) and then we have Filthy Rich, who is Mr. Filthy AND Mr. Rich. So, yeah....
0 likesI feel like many other objects the propeller is enchanted and works to either rainbow or tanks will.
0 likesThis is an interesting topic. Maybe the propeller is powered by magic that has been stored. A magic capacitor or battery. This would explain the magic glow and how nopony is around to constantly casting a spell. Another alternative is the yellow glow does represent Celestia and the devise is solar powered gathering magic from the sun. Good luck with your finals.
0 likesI've been asking myself this question ever since "Tanks for the memories"
0 likesI loved the ending! Lol
0 likesI think the magic is in the... circle on top, because in tanks for the memories, when Rainbow Dash spined the circle and it flew again.
0 likesWhat if they stored the magic in some sort of battery like object and then place it in the propeller or some sort of magic wiring
0 likesDon't forget in "Tanks For Memories" when tank stopped his propeller from going the magic stop, but when Rainbow dash spun it back up the magic reappears
0 likesTurtle magic. Everybody knows that turtles have magic.xD jk
0 likesMaybe there is a gem ( or some kind of magical engery going on) underneath the axis and there is spark that started the device up and makes the device stay on until it is "turned off' or runs out of juices( kind of like a battery). What gives e this idea in "Tanks for the memories," that RD used her hoof to spin the propeller, and then it kept spinning and you could see the magic glow. And it reminds me of hose old fashioned plans is the good old days is when one have to spin the propeller to get the propeller going.
BTW GOOD LUCK WITH FINALS :D
maybe tanks magic does come from an object? and in rainbow rocks the book's magic came from celectia, maybe she turned the propeller into a magical object like she did with the book...
0 likesI think that twilight put that magic on the thing that make tank fly, have you noticed that the trying is mettle maybe when her magic tuch mettle it turn that color
2 likesMaybe It's RD's pegasus magic? Because of Cadence, we know that's a thing. Maybe she's doing it involuntarily.

0 likesIt could be a store bought enchanted propeller and the spell is channeled through the axis....maybe. Perhaps the spell in question is a flight spell? Idk, I think I'm just talking out of my ass.
0 likesDoes the propeller store magic? In "Tanks For The Memories" Rainbow Dash spins Tank's propeller and it glows.
0 likesI have an idiaaaa😂.
0 likesThe Magic is from ponies, they just putting a spell objects. That spell transports a little bit of the Magic into the object. It's like in ,,Twighlights Kingdom. Episode 4 s4 ,
The princesses, had transport the magic into twighlights body. Its not a perfect example, but it is Thema only I now know.
I just realized the little gang sign snails does in EG is actually a snail lol
0 likesIn tanks for the memories, rainbow spins tank's propeller and the glow comes up
