Thanks for posting the jpg, I was shocked at the apparent simplicity yet
precision mechanical requirements unless the device has a very high reserve
of energy from the gradient provided.
My first impression was how could this have been missed after all these
decades of effort and research by so many, although often it is the simplest
of devices that work. I was happy to see the statement that it self started,
although if it indeed does, why would it not keep increasing in speed until
it destroyed itself? I wonder and have yet to see how they would stop it
once started, this breaking would be a direct measure of its capacity.
I also found a strange similarity in principle to a number of older devices
with magnets that shifted their center of gravity as the wheel rotated, to
my knowledge they all failed. Also similar to

tor in principle that we have not the two oscillators yet the addition of
gravity to the overall operation.
Interesting, sorry for bothering you direct, but was away from my home base
and unable to get into vortex to reply direct to you posting.
I'm sure the mechanical limitations of inertia, friction and windage
will limit the speed. The high gradients in the next Sprain Magmo
*do* have us worried about the unloaded RPM.
BTW, I added this to the thread on Vortex since they might be
interested in your reference.
