Miller Colson Magnetic Motor coming to market ?

[Lidmotor]

One thing I would like to see is a thermal image of this device running.  Does it get hot or cold and what parts.  I had a recurring dream years ago that I had indeed built a self-running machine and left it running over night.  The next morning it was still running but covered in frost and the run battery had been over (back) charged and burst.
  If a thermal image of this magnet motor shows heating---that energy has to come from somewhere.  If it is shown to run stone cold or gets colder then perhaps my dream came true.  Dreams are fun.  Even wild ones. They sometimes lead to a different reality through a twisted path. I can't wait until November to see what happens on this venture.  Who will get the cheeseburger?

Looks to me like mechanically there is a sweet spot between linear pulling force and rotational torque required to switch the magnetic direction.

Makes one wonder if there is an electrical equivalent to this technique...

This is what I was hoping for---someone to build a model of the how it is supposed to operate.  One can easily see that if you motorized the action with "timing" motors it would look like it was running on magnetic power.  I don't think it would ever work without that but what a cool looking device.  A good flywheel and low friction bearings would really help. 
  If Dusty gets this better developed I might try a scaled down 'kitchen table' version.  Thanks for posting this Chet.

I see Dusty has added more thoughts and ideas here
