It looks like the Perendev Motor with magnets in repulsion. In repulsion, the magnetic domains are eventually misaligned and the magic stops. Magmos will only work with maggies in attraction where domain alignment is enforced.

And that of course means... Brace for another fine installment from the honorable Dr. Park. The trials and tribulations of STEORN's recent ORBO demo no-show at the Kinetica Museum is sure to be discussed in painful detail, with a concluding nod of assurance that this incident is just another confirmation that the sacred LoT have once again been upheld. Park's comments may soon be followed by (once assured that it really is safe to come out of hiding) a "me too" installment from the Amazing RANDI. After all if the APA has given RANDI one of its most prestigious awards for critical thinking, he had better live up to his reputation and pontificate some additional critical comments. Perhaps the APA is also hoping the Amazing RANDI will make the damned critter disappear down a rabbit hole as well - permanently. Ah, well, perhaps it's STEORN's LoT ...in life - pun intended. Of course I still hope STEORN may soon be able to pull their misplaced rabbit out of the hat, though perhaps a tad more awkwardly than planned. Just not on cue. The creature is probably off somewhere doing what it is that critters of that kind are inclined to do, making more orbos. All humor set aside for the moment: In the recently posted article STORN appears to claim it's a bearing problem - due to the unexpected intense heat from the lamps. I hope they are right, that it's not just a smokescreen. It would mean the magnets themselves were not affected by the heat. That was my worst fear. Fingers still crossed.
