Quite impressive. Seems this guy has really unlocked PEREGRINUS'S WHEEL...

Why do you suppose the video consists of spliced frames?  Could it be that it is entirely faked?  Or are we to believe that the machine operates in that herky-jerky manner and this is real-time video?  The thing is apparently hung from a wire or string which appears to have been pre-twisted or have an off-screen source of rotary motion.  You can see many similar videos there, none of which would be at all difficult to fake.  You asked for opinions, omnibus.  My opinion is this could be easily faked magnetic motion and is therefore unremarkable.

Your post outlines perfectly, one half of the thought processes of those in the OU field...

There are basically two types of thought processes...

One if of optimism and believing in innocence until proven guilty...

The other is of pessimism and believing in guiltiness until proven innocent...

No offense...
Both are viable, and we live in duality, so it is totally OK...
But, it will more than likely be those of the first thought-process-group that eventually and totally bring forward the OU...

It is usually through the use of scientific experiments that advances in understanding are achieved in any meaningful way.  Antibiotics were not discovered by people who believed in "bad aether" or "bleeding the evil spirits". 

Your supposition that wonderful new technologies will more likely come from those who prefer "blind belief systems" of thinking and who persevere endlessly hoping that ideas which have been tried for centuries and found not to work every time will, on some new dawn, suddenly work just fine, as opposed to "critical scientific method" is quite a stretch of optimism in itself and is not at all born out by history. 

Sure, it takes some belief in yourself and some optimism to succeed at anything; without it you wouldn't give even the first attempt.  But to use that idea to justify staring endlessy down empty wells in hopes that water will eventually appear...or drilling new wells right next to ones known to be dried up and dead...it's a bad idea.
