someone please build it

You say it will run itself.

I say it won't. It will "stick to itself", that's about it.

Build it yourself, please, and show it running itself.

Then you can ask us to please build it and confirm your claim.

well thanks for the advice, but if I had the money and the mechanical skill, I would not be asking for help.
just to be clear, I'm not asking anyone to build it for me. build it for yourself or for the earth, whatever, if you think it has a chance to work
thank you for the constructive criticism

im sorry to say your idea is not a new one

most people ditch out on this idea and aim for a SMOT type design by making the magnets spiral in some way, but they always still run into a sticky spot

it might look something like this

angling the magnets might make it slightly more efficient but it will stick in the same spots with the "driving" magnet

notice how in the video it wont go unless he manually lifts the driving magnet

i believe your trying to overcome this with magnetic shielding, but once again it might make it slightly more efficient but still most likely not enough to have it power itself

hope this helps, you could build this yourself with only 5 magnets, 4 on a "turn table" one for the driver

use an old cd or something for the turntable so you would already have a balanced wheel and a hole perfectly in the center

@grog,
build it, claim it has a cop of greater than 1 and tinselkoala will then debunk it. you must claim a cop of greater than 1 and/or overunity, then and only then, will tk 'debunk' it (unless it's stifflers circuit, he won't  touch that).
