New magnet powered perpetual motion machine

Some of you will be interested in seeing what PMs do here.
I have always said PMs can do work but then is the "stiky spot" and here I have a full escape of the "sticky spot" It took me abut 20 years with hundreds of assertions "It can't be done"
Finsrud did it....and me too.

The next step is to complete the circle...maybe next month if God wills.

I'm obviously less knowledgeable with PM systems than you are.
Very short video with less than totally clear setup. It could be interpreted the PM is already within the attraction zone from its extreme starting position on the right.
Or is that a gravity assisted entry? Then we'd need to see a gain of height and true ability to extract itself from the array and move on to the next go-around?

The magnet is not in the range of attraction and has to be slowly pushed into that range. The intent is to create motion and escape. It travels about 150 degrees and is free to attract into the next sequence. At the same time there is free attraction and lifting of the plates but that work is very difficult to collect and requires "Clockmaker skills " which I do not have. The intent is to show the basic principle and encourage others to go to the bench and see what they can do also. In the past most people do not fully grasp the importance of the magnet escape.

I rechecked the level aspect with a water level (water in a clear tube) and it appears to be level but when I add some rise it gets stuck so there is just enough momentum to let it escape and no extra but along the way it does lift plates doing work.

Very nice work Norman! Congrats. This is substantial if accurate.

Keep us posted!
