Roll on the 20th June

I guess if you believe in what you have, then you won't mind shooting some video of the second part (the machine returning to a starting state).

Again, you will convice few by explaining it, but if you can show it, start to fall, to reset and start again, you will have proven yourself and your idea.  I know if I had it figured out and working, I wouldn't be able to contain myself from showing it!!!!!

ALSO:
13 to lift 1 (13 meters) okay
15 to lift 15 (just 1 meter - will that reset it?  )

Still working with you here, just need more to go on.

oh and just when you thought i had kicked them enough, got a half day to do some more vids today, now they have given you all the costs and figures, let's show then some real humping

I agree the only way to prove overuntiy is to balance the beam then apply a weight differential.
It is fine if the beam cannot be balanced easily because of sliding tubes or tensioner's or what have you this will just make it more difficult to model/build your claim.
I have no problem with that but I can say when all of the forces are accounted for it will follow a 1st order lever as my pencil does on my desk.

That is not to say that a clever shifting of weights will not cause some interesting results but a 5:1 lever in length is only balanced when the weights are 1:5.
If the weight of the lever is 4:1 as adjusted the true balance is 20:1 as claimed but does not really break any physical laws but may still be an interesting machine.

Again I hope that doesn't sound like an attack if the beam can be proven to operate overunity I say good on ya!
Why not start with an empty coke bottle and the 20Kg on the other end (use a dumbell or a weight from the wifes exercise kit if possible so people can see a measurement)
Now add water to the coke bottle until you get lift.

ROFL

just realised the video show the return cost, rofl laughing, the drum weighs 20 kilos

and already has it returned with no leverage at all

By 'returned with no leverage' do you mean after you dropped the weight, the lever almost bounced back to the original position? Do you mean the lever bounced off the ground due to the spring in the long flexible beam? And do you mean it 'almost' bounced back to the starting position? That would mean energy was conserved with losses due to friction. Do you see the fucking irony in this Archer? You just proved Newtons laws once again. ROFL. You are Newtons's best friend. hahahaha
