MAYBE IT IS AFFECTING THE ROTOR FREQUENCY?

That's basically what I'm saying, Thane. Building on your theory that it's magnetic flux feeding back down the driveshaft, the question is, how does that affect the motor? I'm saying that it's something to do with changing the effective frequency of the driving field. The way to check that would be to look at the magnetic field at different points inside the motor. Aether thinks that the effect would be too small to make a difference but I really think it would be worthwhile to check that by measuring it.

Also, it would be worthwhile measuring the magnetic flux in the shaft, since that's apparently where the feedback is happening. I hadn't heard that figure Aether mentioned before (25 gauss) and indeed that's quite small, though not negligible. It would be interesting to know how that measurement was made - because this is an alternating magnetic field and the peak values could be very much higher than that, depending on how it was measured.

2) OH AND ALSO HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO ACCELERATE A 1/4 HP MOTOR WITH A 10 LB ROTOR FROM 300 RPM UP TO OVER 1100 RPM - WITHOUT ADDING ADDITIONAL ELECTRIC POWER -BUT JUST A 3" STEEL BAR? REMEMBER ALL OTHER PARAMETERS ARE EQUAL.

The drive-frequency theory explains that too. Higher frequency means higher slip, which means higher torque, which delivers the acceleration you observed. It does not require additional electric power input because some of the power that was formerly being dissipated as heat is instead accelerating the motor.

This thing is obviously baloney. A typical mistake or con job, where the inventor never seems to get around to feeding the 'extra' output back to the input to make it self-sustaining.

Well, there ya go, Thane - you did ask for other theories!

OK PB NOW TELL US HOW TO MEASURE FLUX INSIDE A STEEL SHAFT?
I SAY IT CANNOT BE DONE.
WHAT DO OTHERS SAY?
