Is anyone familiar with this concept?

I saw this already several years ago.
For several years, the author has not looped this device yet?
Because it can't be looped. He finally understood it. Energy is only what you push the magnet in.
If you want to take energy from the coils, LENZ law won't allow that. The magnet will stop.
Everything works fine without a load.
Yes, but in any case there are friction losses and air resistance in the pipe.
Why do they not interfere with the looped rotation, and the removal of a small current stops the rotation?

He states he doesn't believe it's worth pursuing so that may be why he hasn't looped it yet. To minimize the friction loses you mention, the loop would be rather large, making the device kind of impractical. There is a lot of wasted space in the loop as far as making a compact device.
Practicality aside, just because the magnets go through one way easier than the other doesn't mean there is an overunity effect. Looks like it would be simple enough to test without having to make a complete loop. I've found that a lot of the magnetic tracks that show magnets passing through with relative ease is due to the initial pressure that's built up forcing it past the initial gate. With a high speed camera you could find out if the magnets are loosing speed between each bowl array. If it works, then he should sell it to Elon for his Hyperloop project.
