Is this proof of overunity??? See video and drawing

Could it be this simple?

Hmmm - interesting. Though I think the lack of cogging are due to the friction you have, which will make the sense of cogging much less - or zero. Also, it doesn't take much energy to separate or close the bars while under the magnet. Try to decrease the gap between the magnets and the bars, and then make another try on a smoother surface.

I do think the bars separates for a reason. They also separates even if you have another set of bars behind it. The very same reason will hold back the magnets from escaping the magnets, even though it doesn't seems so in your experiment.

I whish you good luck anyways

Not only are we getting no cogging, the flat end of bar surface between the two open bars that faces the on coming magnet is acually pulling the closed bar set toward the magnet.

Interesting, but until you do something with it, why are asking if this is proof of overunity? Not being sarcastic here but i can put two north facing magnets together and they push apart. Would that be considered overunity?

I though I would let you Einstein's do something with it, you don't seem to have anything else to do.
