Gadolinium Magnet Generator.

[synchro1]

Passing the the Gadolinium rotor blocks through a permanent magnet field alone is enough to alter the Currie temperature. Precisely temperature gauged with properly sized rotor blocks, correct spacing, rotor speed and permanent magnet field intensity, perpetual rotor motion might be attainable. The Gadolinium block would enter the field inert and emerge magnetic in the schematic below:

"Gadolinium alloy heats up inside the magnetic field and loses thermal energy to the environment, so it exits the field cooler than when it entered".

The Gadolinium rotor block would be drawn into the permanent magnet field at precisely 68º Fahrenheit by the magnetic attraction. This force would power the rotor. Initially, the block would heat up, and traveling at just the right speed, the preliminary rise in temperature might be sufficient enough to briefly push it just above the Currie point to turn the block non-magnetic and allow it to pass through and escape from the field before the cooling effect set in to return the block to the magnetic state. The rotor block would need to warm up a little before it came back around, because the process would have an overall cooling effect. Ambient room temperature might be enough to warm the blocks sufficiently at just the right temperature. A temperature controlled environment, like a glass box would need to be heated a little to sustain rotor motion. The sun would ultimately sustain the power to continuously run the generator.

That sounds pretty complicated.
Why not just have a wheel with the bottom half in a cold running stream, and the top half travel through a solar collector?

@shylo,

These 10cm Gadolinium cubes run $31.00 apiece off ebay. They advise you to keep them away from water because they tarnish fast and shed a flakey scale.

Placing the rotor in a sealed plexiglass box placed over a heating pad would protect the cubes and allow for precise temperature control. The magnet generator would only require the addition of two permanent magnets to complete the unit.

Can you seal it inside aluminum?
Put it in an airtight membrane.
Shouldn't be to hard to make it waterproof.
