New magnet powered perpetual motion machine

I've placed a new page, where you can follow my replication about this pendulum. for the moment i do only describe it in German language. English translation follows up, as soon someone will give me a little help

To AllCanadian,

I respect your intuition as to the veracity of the presenters of these videos.
What is your opinion of this one:

Hi, Mike. Please examine the following translation I made of your web page and tell me if it is accurate:

Forward

in own Thing (not sure about this line)

For a very long time now, I have been fascinated with the power of magnetic fields. In the late 1970s, I began to concentrate more on this subject, but as with the lives of so many of us; I had neither the time nor money (or little of either). By the mid ‘80s, my interest in this had to be pushed completely to the end of the list, for professional as well as family reasons. And there it sat, until I finally hit a turning point in the middle of 2006, after I saw a magnetic system with a well-planned, working mechanism.

After extensive searching with Google and YouTube, I found this video.

Thus, I decided to actually build a magnet engine, also. But I will report more on that at another time.

If I May Indulge You...

If there are any expert mechanics or engineers among my valued readers, then I would like to apologize up front for any potentially incorrect terminology, and in particular the amateur presentation of the subject. Additionally, the last time I filed, polished, sawed, bored and cut threads, was more than a quarter century ago. My currently available tools, with which I intend to make experimental setups, are all shown here.

My reproduction of the pendulum

Freely after PI times Thumbs (not sure about this line, either)

In order to keep the reproduction of the pendulum in the video as clear and as simple as possible, I did without any unnecessary frills. The mounting frame consists of sectional shelving brackets, which one can find in any good hardware store.

Sectional shelving brackets and matching connectors

The pendulum arm is a simple M8 threaded rod, which extends as one piece from the pendulum axle to the weight. I manufactured the weight from a Plexiglas block.

The pendulum axle is high-grade steel and is mounted in brass bushings. To show that the axle is free from any extra energy input, the brass bushings are mounted in Plexiglas plates.

I hope I do not sound too skeptical but I have issues with this video as well, I think the rotor accelerated to fast on startup. The motion and orientation of the magnet in his hand, the distance to the rotor, had very little effect on the speed of the rotor. Of course I have no proof of anything and I could very well be wrong but I get a bad feeling about this video based on experiments I have done in the past, I would have liked to have seen under the table. Unfortunately many times when something looks to good to be true it usually is , If this effect shown was that easy it would have been found many years ago.

[I agree with AC, I have seen many devices in person and through that experience this one (subject to further info) is has too many red flags
