Pendulum with Magnets (All opposing)

[wopwops]

YouTube desciption:

All of the magnets oppose one another. The machine has been operating for two years. Some people say that since it uses magnets, it is not perpetual motion. Magnets do eventually wear out.

Perpetual motion is a red herring. The question should be: Can it deliver power? The design needs generating coils
or a shaft which may supply output power.

if it works, it must produce power...

Paul-R,

basically you are right, it would prove much better in the video if some pick up coils were feeding some LEDs but in fact the shown setup (if it is not a fake) already does work by keeping the mass of the central pendulum in a continuos motion, does not it?
