Okay, I have seen three. All involve magnetic gradients which most
certainly perform work. I will try, one more time, to explain the
most simple one:

In this image a ball is dropped from 31 mm and from 35 mm into a
curved glass tube which constitutes an inclined plane.

That is the Greg Watson SMOT device. It never worked as far as I
know. Perhaps Naudin thought he had it working for a while -- I do
not recall. It would be interesting to hear what he has to say now.
Tinsley briefly thought it was working but more careful evaluation
proved otherwise.
If the SMOT is ever replicated by two or three people, I will start
to take it seriously. If 10 or 20 demonstrate it works to a
significant (high-sigma) extent, then I will believe it. Not before.
This device demonstrates a COP of 1.133. I have personally tested
another magnetic gradient field device which presently operates
with a COP of 2.33 and will soon operate with a much higher one. I
will be happy to arrange for you to view the device. It is here in
the metropolitan area.
Why not start by publishing a paper, photos, and one of these short
silent movies electronic cameras take? (My daughter is crazy about
them.) After we have all had a chance to think about it, then perhaps
I would like to see it. I do not want to look at an experiment I have
not carefully studied beforehand. I would probably fail to see the
point. That wastes everyone's time and it is not fair to the experimenter.
