"This is a true perpetual motion machine. A weighted bolt connected to shafts contained magnets spins down a screw. The weight is a heavy whistle, and when it spirals downward, it generates sound. The sound vibrations are picked up by an array of acoustic vibrators, which convert the vibrations into electricity to feed into a rechargable battery. THe gongs at the end of the tracks are also used to generate sound, which would be picked up by the acoustic vibrators, as well. The gongs also serve as contact points, which trigger a switch to flip the device, vertically, with a small motor, so the bolt can once again be at the top. Electricity output is generated by the spinning magnet shafts, which excite electrons in the stator, which is basically coiled wire. This machine would be one cell in an array. All the machines would feed off each other."
I don't think the acoustic vibrators will generate as much electrivity as you aspect... Any calculations on that?

as the whistle (with magnet attached) spirals downward (across coils) generates more energy along with the acoustic vibrators?
Potential energy is E= m x g x (h2-h1)
Height h2 - height h1 is the difference height.
As you draw power(current) from the induction of the magnets
into the coils you will drag down the speedof the falling of the arm-ball.
So why do you think you can generate more electrical power to be able
to rotate the wholething at the end of the cycle ?
