magnetic gravity wheel

I believe this idea you have outlined has been discussed here and has merit of course we all need to actually build some working examples.........

Have made enquiries as to cost of a prototype and this is @$5000 nz$.This  is the the cost including the best magnetsT for the purpose and built with all the proper bearings etc...This is too much for me at the moment.

Nice approach. Is there more details somewhere showing your principles of motion a bit more clear? I do not mean for this to sound like a negative post at all, but I'm not seeing where the extra energy is "hoped" to come from? I too am thinking the loss of torque from the magnet attraction, it countering the unbalance.  Maybe I am missing something though?

A simple experiment will demonstrate what i mean.Take a round piece of cardboard and sellotape some coins around its edge (24).From 12oclock to 6 oclock the coins are up to the edge of the card.From 6 up to 12 on the rising side the coins are positioned one coin diameter back from the edge.IF the card is mounted to rotate on a rod through its centre you will find it will need @3 extra coins to balance and stop rotation at 9 oclock position.These extra coins represent the rotative energy available.

further to the above post.....the same experiment with twelve coins requires @1 coin at the 9 oclock position to balance the assembly.The same energy would be reqiured in both cases to actually turn the two smaller wheels on an actual working model but as these experiments show there is an increase in energy available as the number of coins increases.
The repelling magnets used to cause the imbalance state of the assembly do not cause any locking up of rotation but of course have an effect which is @1 coin (small wheel) at 3 oclock.
