From Terry:
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. Terry
Wish I could get a decent view of the critter. If, as you claim, it appears to be operating in repulsion mode that suggests to me that the so-called ORBO effect would work even better in attractive mode. IMO, there is every reason to speculate that the effect would work in either mode. It's just more structurally challenging to construct in attractive mode, which may be the reason why the prototype isn't. Apparently it was only meant to run for about a week.
