Hello everyone,
I saw this video while looking around for different magnetic perpetual motion and overunity generators. Although the inventor claims perpetual motion, I doubt it. However I believe that the design could be modified to create perpetual motion if not overunity. Comments and insight are welcome!

PS: I appoligize in advance if this video has already been discussed in another post.
It's been discussed. I'm not sure what's on here about it but at another forum - energeticforum I think Skywatcher was trying to replicate it a while back. I remember thinking it seemed possible he had something as it appeared he was getting away from the usual stiction problem with his rotating diametrically magnetised cylinders.
This has been discussed here too:

This looks interesting. I didn't thought that the rotor magnets was forced to rotate due to load of the coils, but if it is so that these magnets will rotate due to lenz law (or what you call it), they will be able to enter and escape the loaded coil without loss...Or will they?
This is something I will try with my big ferrite ring magnets, just to see what happens.

I made a drawing of a possible solution.
There is a magnet/rotor assambly which rotates around a center axle. The gears on the magnets are connected to the outer gear, so they can rotate as well as the rotor rotates. This will to a certain extent do the same thing as what described by the inventor on youtube, but it is mechanicly aligned and fixed so the rotation speed of the magnets follows the speed variations in the magnet/rotor assambly.

Hi Vidar. The basic concept is wrong - we've already tested it in one of the mentioned threads. The magnets will unfortunately not rotate. However the idea with additional gears is good - I've also thought about it. The problem is, I couldn't find anywhere this big gear wheel with inner teeth. Anyway, as I've said, this concept will not work - gears will not help.

OK. I should have read the other threads about this design first. Fun to make illustarions in Google ScetchUp anyways ;D
Thanks for sharing this information. Now we do not longer have to focus on this design, but move on :)

Actually I'm still focused on this one, as I'm trying to make it different - still no success though ;/
