Permanent magnet OU machine working today

Norman, rather than talking about POWER, measure ENERGY input and output.POWER does not do work, ENERGY does.

Hi Norman, I couldn't see any animation, just the still shots.
IMO, It will come to rest.
Momentum can carry a magnet past the sticky point.
Add that with gravity.

If you download the .gif file it is an annimated gif and when you view it it moves
back and forth. What you see on the web is only 1 frame.

Study it and it will wake you up to OU.

There is a bug in the overyniuty forum that breaks the annimated gif files. So I have zipped that file and uploaded it to try to get a good one for you.

If that does not work please inform me.
Thank you Guyla for informing me about it.

So to view the annimation download the following zip file and unzip it and then
view it and it should run the annimation frame sequence.

I added some simple text explaining as the magnet moves and lifts the metal
plate and any attached weight.

Looking at your video,i would say you are providing the extra energy required to allow the pendulum to reach the 12oclock position from the 2 oclock starting point.

If I recall properly, it is  essential to study one COMPLETE cycle, or preferably several cycles.
