DON'T TELL THE  GOVERNMENT HOW TO MAKE MAGIC

@MixedSnowFox Celestia might have kept a small bit of the sun which is powerful!

yay agree! ☺☺☺☺☺😀😀😀😃😃😃😃😃😁😁😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😆😆😎😎😎😎😎😎

Maby they Used a spell so Rainbows magic can the Propeller making Spin . I mean pegasises have magic....

Ya solved it! All my headcanons are gone! I'm done!

Yeah, but buildings have windows right???   You answer!

Whoa you good.... P.s. OMG ITS PIKACHU   EVERYONE BOW DOWN TO THE AMAZING PIKACHU!!!!!!

+DrPikachu ROTMG <b>my brain exploded</b>

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

YAY U SOLVED THE PUZZLE!! LETS PARTY!!!!!!

Duude, Yellow Magic=Snails
Snails=Snazzy Snails
Snazzy Snails=illuminati.
Tank is powered by the illuminati.

Lol, a solar powered propeller! Haha not a bad theory! XD

@DrPikachu ROTMG So, does that mean:
Blue magic = Luna
Luna = Moon
Moon = Luna Powered?

@DrPikachu ROTMG well that can be a nice way to make this thing work well :D

@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.

@DrPikachu ROTMG WOOOOOoOOOOOOOWOOWOoOooOOoOooOSSSSSSHShHhHHHSHhhHHHHSHSSSshShHshhh

Total mind blown ._. (if it's really that real... how this thing can work even where didn't have Sun? '-')


It's a battery.  A battery that stores magic.

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.

@Iris Confusion It's certainly a charge type of magic

Then is a question if it's really telekinesis, maybe it's a Weight spell so the little Propeller can get a turtle in the sky

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...]

Or electricity is also a Type of Magic only that it doesn't need to get influenced by the creator so everyone can use it.

@BioniclesaurKing4t2 For example: A button inside the belt. If the belt is tighten properly, the circuit works. If not,  it's off :)


I always thought he just had a battery in his propeller

♥ 𝕃𝕚𝕫𝕫𝕪_𝕡𝕝𝕒𝕪𝕫 𝕣𝕠𝕓𝕝𝕠𝕩 ♥

They haven’t invented batteries in  Equestria yet

But why not maybe there is battery inside


Speaking of the clash between science/tech and magic, I find it ironic that Twilight (the magic pony) couldn't believe in the pinkie sense. Lol

@Elias  lol yeah I just meant that she's the pony in the group who is the most magically talented.

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. <br>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

Solar energy mixed with magic! Doesn't seem that farfetched. It's actually quite clever


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

But this is fine too


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 <b>cough*Smooze*cough</b>. 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...

+clarissa dubbs (dubbstep) so maybe it uses tank's "life force" or something?


I didn’t think anyone would talk about that, but now, when I after six years found this comment, I’m happy.

There is a time in in thanks appela I think that weathermatic comes from store form a visit startswith


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.


I bet it was enchanted with a never ending spinning spell

@melenacholy maybe not controlling maybe somepony CASTED a spell

is it a spell or is it natural arrrrrrrrrrrrttrt this is so angused 😆get it angering😠 and confusing😮 ........<br>i get it im not funny😔

is it a spell or is it natural arrrrrrrrrrrrttrt this is so angused 😆get it angering😠 and confusing😮 ........
i get it im not funny😔

But who's controlling the spell? That's Notion's point. Who's controlling the spell??? Please tell us. ;-;

But when Tank is standing the propeller is off


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...<br>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.


Doing great notion <3 I really admire your work

@pigstar 101 yeah that makes more scence

@Phoenixgirlgamer Gaming  He might be a teen

@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?

@The Brony Notion so u go to school wow I thought u were older like other YouTubers

@Brian K Roy Look at it this way, he'll be able to come up with a video after, and about, the 100th episode.

@The Brony Notion doing well<br>But you are not going to resume in two weeks😧

@The Brony Notion doing well
But you are not going to resume in two weeks😧


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.


as you said all gems might be magical so there might be some sort of gem in tanks doohickey propeller thingy


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.<br>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.


I do think they have some sort of magical batteries.<br>The energy would have to be recharged sometimes because of the drag.

I do think they have some sort of magical batteries.
The 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.


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...<b>mic drop</b>

Omg the grammar Nazi's coming for you, quick edit you writing so it makes sense!

@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.

i know that

and also as in magical artifacts the ones like in thr group the so called staff of sameness were in secretly those ones

@Ben N His artifacts are referenced and I never said that the staff of sameness was an actual relic.

@Daaim Khan Which one? There were no magical artifacts in this episode.

How did they find it and why did they not mention it it is a very magic object

@Arygua The staff was just a piece of driftwood. There are other examples of truly enchanted items. Including Great Mage Meadowbrook's Eight Artifacts.


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 feel a lot of your video questions can be answered with one or two words.

How does his propeller work? Magic.

@Rainb0w Dashie That's what he addresses in the video then goes to greater detail.

it might be a magical item kinda like a wand but in a different form

I thought of that too, but I was wiggling my hand while lowering it down while saying Magic!


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.


Red Shadow, he is a tortoise. also, maybe it fuels off his Life Force!

+PixelatedRacerTV acctaly pegasai are magical!!

+Kawaii Rapidash

No, Tirek stole flight.

+Kawaii Rapidash

No, Tirek stole *flight.*

I think it's that somehow it uses rainbow dashes magic ( tirek stole magic from Pegasai


Maybe it draws energy from solar power, and stores it until activated.


I've wondered this so many times too!<br>Thanks for doing this video.

I've wondered this so many times too!
Thanks for doing this video.


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.


Maybe it’s a magical artifact that works like a battery that powers the propellers to fly


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.


Since friendship is magic love is too. Tank propeller takes the love that rainbow dash gives tank and turns it in to magic to fuel it.

That was.....really sappy. But honestly that's a pretty good one!

@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. <br>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.

Youtube, All I want to do is watch a video, stop making me update.


@emotionless TwilightS Ha, thanks for the correction.

@emotionless TwilightS You there, I like the the words you project.


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!


But that's ridiculous, Tank is not a turtle, he's a Tortoise!... Unless...<br>WHAT IF that's what they want us to believe?!

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.


certain gems do have magic. Maybe the propeller uses a small gem like a battery to power the propeller.


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.

@Skye Silverwing  The remnants of our civilization!!
I TOLD YOU!!
PONIES WILL TAKE OVER OUR WORLD AND MAKE US EXTINT!!

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.

It could be producing magic somehow and not electricity?

@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.

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.


it could be powered by his mind because in the newer episodes the propeller stopped when he wanted it to, and it also stops when he lands.


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 :)


Hi!
I 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.


maby the axle is infused w/ an enchanted gem


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 ^_^


One word : Technomancy

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.

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.

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.

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...


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.


@Yaresidentfireclaw- <br>Oh, then good thing I looked in the comments before I got to the ending ;)

@Yaresidentfireclaw-
Oh, then good thing I looked in the comments before I got to the ending ;)


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.😆


Magical items have a permanent magical force that never runs out.


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


I kind of figured that the propellor is some kind of artifact and the magic is stored somewhere in a gemstone or crystal.


NO VIDEOS FOR 2 WEEKS! puts on Spike costume drops on ground NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

NO VIDEOS FOR 2 WEEKS! *puts on Spike costume* *drops on ground* NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

@Lisa Faulkner Or, as in a fairly well-known YTP:

"FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!"


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.


BUT TANK ISN'T A TURTLE HE'S A TORTOISE!!!!!!!!! <b>facepalms 10 times</b>

BUT TANK ISN'T A TURTLE HE'S A TORTOISE!!!!!!!!! *facepalms 10 times*

no turtles live in the ocean/sea and tortoises live on land.

ProSonicAlena A tortoise is bigger than a turtle So there not the same and tank is a turtle if he was a tortoise he would be 3× the size 😒


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'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.

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)


I think the thing is a gem itself.... and a very strong gem to hold the power...


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.


<IS KNOWN FOR HIS MLP FLIGHT THEORY VIDEOS

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.

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.


Brony Notion video on my birthday, YAY!!

@Charpony VA well same, except my bday is on the 19th , and june 18 is my graduation

@Charpony VA aww ur weeeeeeeelcome....:P

@Jenny O. loves Fairy Tail!!!!! Thanks a bunch! :)


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?


Maybe its like a switch,when Rapidash spins it,it goes on an endless spin,until when Tank lands the magic senses that its on the ground and stops.^_^


Its just a cute little continuous spell that activates when tank needs to fly.


Tank IS the source of the magic. It runs on his energy and when he dies <b>sniff</b> it will stop immediately.

lol I was watching a league of legends video when I got alert on new video

i started a mass conversation when I just posted that comment O_O

@Apple Klutz holy shit its being powered by MUFFINS (the treat not derpy despite hasbro calling her that)

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.....

it IS MAGIC!!!!!!!!!! (on the glowing piece they would leave it while not flying, afternoon naps perhaps.(rhyme))

@thecherrybakewellkid True i completly forgot that

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

My theory is solar power see my comment on this.

well i would say its a type of magic that runs on thoughts see tanks for nothin it will make more sense

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 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

@Vinyl Wubdrops you know what if the metal in the middle is like a  gemstone

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.

iv never been commented by you in my previous comments The Brony Notion but im guessing you must get a ton of alerts on comments

@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.


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.<br>You 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.


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


@Kendyl Kinsey yeah, it's still really fun to make sense of cartoons and games though.

@Juana Perez oh really? Strawberry, chocolate, maybe apple juice.. I would love a nice carton of apple juice.

@***** 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.

If Celestia enchanted the book from Sunset Shimmer, she could have enchanted Tank's propeller as a gift to Rainbow.<br>Just a theory.

If Celestia enchanted the book from Sunset Shimmer, she could have enchanted Tank's propeller as a gift to Rainbow.
Just 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.
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.


Sometimes the "magical glow" looks like a rubber band so maybe it's just a rubber band


It can be Celestia's magic,thus it might use sunpower to fly.


"Tanks for the memories" shows Rainbowdash spinning the blade around which sets it spinning indpendently, so..

is perpetual motion canon?

Theory 2: As stated in season 4's finale, all ponies have some form of magic, so what if Rainbow's flying somehow transmits her magic to Tank

I'm over thinking  this...


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.


Actually, 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.


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.


How about the spinning thing spins to keep the magic going. And since the magic keeps the propeller going, that's how it's<br>All 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).


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.

Not really.

Meh....


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.


I think Celestia casted a flight spell on the axal to cause it to turn on and off as rainbow wishes.


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.

Sorry for spelling errors!


I say that it is mind magic. They cast a spell so that were Tank wants to go that is where it takes him.


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.


Maybe it uses a gem on the inside of the thing that connects to Tank, or maybe a lining of gems, or mabe it's enchanted like that one dude said.


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


"What type of Magic is this?" It's.....THE MAGIC OF FRIENDSHIP!!!


Nice. I've been wondering about this too. I thought it was some magic from Celestia but like you said, it doesn't make sense.


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...

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


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


I think the propeller acts like a solar panel and turns the sun into flying magic :'D


Perhaps gems have magic, and the propeller is made of crushed gems. And maybe unicorns can program it with magic.


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 ;)


Maybe the thing that is glowing under the propeller is made out of gems and that’s how it’s being powered


I think the magic from Sunset's book originally came from either her or Celestia.


It's magic. Don't question the simplicity.


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.<br>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 ;-) !!)


Maybe 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


Maybe all creatures in Equestria have magic in them, and the propeller is drawing the magic from Tank.


I think the axel is magical, with some sort of looping or never-ending spell, either from Celestia, or Twilight. Make sense?


pegasi 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


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


I have an answer myself. In <b>Tanks for the Memories</b>, you can see Rainbow dash spin the propeller, and it starts up. Hydroelectricity?

Just like remote controls the propeller has a battery which is a gem seeming that it aspens or contains magic


I think that Selestia put a spell on it so she doesn't have to <br>make it work everyday

I think that Selestia put a spell on it so she doesn't have to
make 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 <br>


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)


I still love the looping spell idea better.  It's more likely.


he controls it in "tanks full of memorys" when takn was on the ground he seemed t stop it


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).


I think its powered by tanks movement or he controlls it in his own mind


The source of tank's magic may come from his will to fly and or Rainbow dashes desire for him to fly


Maybe Tanks axel is a part of the machine twilight used and still holds that Magic from the book?


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.


it is like the book it contains magic and the propeller makes energy that turns to magic simple


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.  ^-^


Tank's propeller doesn't work when it's not on him....

TURTLE MAGIC?!?!?

Tank's propeller doesn't work when it's not on him....

*_TURTLE 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?


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


Maybe the spell was cast to draw the power from tank.


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.


perhaps it was enchanted, like various objects around equestria. that way the pony who cast the enchatment dident need to continualy cast the spell.


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.


Obviously it's a complex magical storage device, probably designed by Twilight.


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?


I think tanks propeller is spinning from the energy of the sun and the sun is raise by celestia like solar propeller


It could be like an operator, when ever Tank's propeller is turned on a unicorn use's it's magic to make it spin.


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.

idk 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 <br>


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


Or mabey twilight used a spell that connects to tanks brain so when he wants to fly the magic activates and does what he wants


Let’s finish this theory. Tank is magical, the end.


has anyone noticed twigligt´s cutie mark represents the elements of harmony.<br>there i five small stars around the big, so six stars six elements. i mean there is a connection!

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!


maybe its solar powered because tank loves the sun (or because he's cold blooded)


It could be enchanted, because enchantments being done by ponies is cannon in mlp.


Actually, turtles are fast swimmers.. And tortoises are the one's that are slow. And Tank is a tortoise, not a turtle.


Uh, ever considered it could just be an enchantment? A rune on the underside of the strap?


I don't think it is magic I think it is technology


I think that it is a spell  casted by princess Celestia.  Judging by the glow of the propeller


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?


perpetual motion? maybe all their tech has magic in it?


If it stores magic like magical gems
More like...
If it stores magic like cactus's store water


Maybe there's a gem hidden in the axis that powers it.


Its tank!!! TANK IS MAGICAL!!!! TANK IS CASTING THE SPELL


i think it gets put in some sort of magic device and then it gets stored with magic even know it does not go snd charge in the show


I recently started thinking about this and I'm curious.

How old are the cutie mark crusaders?


Hey Brony Notion, Im a little confused about the Rainbow Power that was in the Season 4 Finale, do you think you can make a video based on that?


Maybe is a auto generating spell which grab magic from the world itself to sustain it, anyway only is to move to Tank orders. <br>That be started by Celestia and held it for the world´s natural magic

i have my own theory were pegasi have power like unicorns, but with their WINGS.<br>rainbow dash is always near tank, and uses her powers with her wings.

It probably stores magic and needs to be refilled at some point


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?


My explanation for how his propeller works is the same as how we explain pinkie pie. It's tank, don't question it.


I'd think that tanks propeller is solar powered :)


That was good keep up the good work and more theories


Does anypony know that unicorns can enchant stuff so the magic stays on that enchanted thing.


its enchanted magic when it spins the magic gets charged


It’s because TANK is the one casting the magic! 😅


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?


I assumed magic batteries somewhere in the bottom piece between the helicopter and tank's shell.


Maybe ponies use magic like we use electricity.


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


<b>THE ENDING CRACKED ME UP!!!! XDDD</b>


They got the helmet from celestia  and she put magic in the helmet so everything can be fine


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 tanks propeller has magic that is safe worked it can spin it by itself


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

Hmm.. maybe rainbow dashes wings make wind to propel it? Idk


A question raised by this video; IS the population on Equestria equally distributed between Earth Ponies,Unicorns,and Pegasi?


Maybe the thing is made out of magical gems!


It would be hilarious if there was a background unicorn pony whose cutie mark was a helicopter and was constantly casting that spell


I thought it was run by electricity. That's what I thought when I first saw it.


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 think it runs on batteries but instead of using batteries its uses gems


I just thought they used unicorn magic to make electricity.


The magic on Tank's thingy is the magic of Rainbow Dash's friendship XD


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


Maybe it is how technology works in equestria... Maybe their electricity is magic


It might work for the sun of twlight cast a spell to make it work


It may be solar powered so in this case it's probably celestia


I feel like it was enchanted, to fly when it spins and when it stops spinning.. Stop flying of course.


BTW what about that door thing on the Starlight overview? You kinda forgot to show where it lead and stuff…


So maybe there is a hidden gem inside that a unicorn stored magic inside of


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 it's the magic of tank and rainbows friendship for example if they got split up somehow his propeller won't work


It's Most likely enchanted to keep moving.


I had a feeling it kind of worked like a battery


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


it could  be a little piece of a Magic Crystal


thank you for doing this i was waiting for someone about mlp to do it


I think that tank is magical himself!!! :)


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


I think the popeller stores magic like a magic device


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!


Well this can sound crazy but i got an idea. How about if Celestia did spell that makes tanks propeller work by his emotion's. No it couldn't.


It's a self bineding spell a spell that goes on and on without end. Also it has nothing to do with triangles!


The propeller  is ran of of battery's which is a gem seeming it contains a magical power


you said 2 thirds of ponies don't have magic,well,actually half,there are still alicorns


My guess is that the spell was cast by a unicorn at a pet shop or whereever she bought the device from.


The magic might be that dome no no wrong picture not that shell but that dome it has space for the source right?<br>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

About the ending, HE'S A TORTOISE NOT A TURTLE. 😂


I think that Princess Celestia did Rainbow Dash a favor by puting a repeating spell on tank<br>


Yup, now I know for sure. Solar power is cannon.


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.<br>but it's just a theory...a Magic theory...sorry had to do it ^_^;;;

I think Twi tried to make it for him but call Celestia for help


Did you know that some ponies cutie mark may go with their name like applejack her cutie mark is 3 apples and her name starts with apple.


YES! I was waiting for a video about this!


Could a peace of the thing holding the propeller have magic in the triangle have stored and keeps restoring the magic


Just saying... I think that the aura of a unicorn should change if they become an alicorn. :P


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.

Or it might be earth pony and Pegasuses Magic put together 😜


Maybe they built a gem infused with magic in tanks propeller


Maybe the wind is so strong for the perpelor it creates the magic!(probably not true)


I always thought that the propeller was magical


Can you do more vids more than 1 time a week but great vid


Tank must obviously be an alicorn turtle...therefore...
ALL HAIL PRINCESS TANK!
WITNESS HIM!


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.


You could have just rested with the conclusion that it's enchanted


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.<br>im bad a theories so yeah

I know! I know! The answer is.......! It's magicnoligy! Magic technoligy!


I think it's electric The yellow is a paper and it's 💎


maybe tank is absorbing the magic from other unicorns


I think that twilight put a spell in Tanks flying machine so it could fly


Snails might be the one 2 do it.....but celestia could be the one to cast this "never ending power" spell too.......and good luck on ur finals


ending was rediculus
and hilarious
but too far


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

Who agrees?
