Perhaps the energy is coming from the rotational energy of
the earth, i.e.
Coriolis effect
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_effect> Hoyt, Do we know the alignment of the structure which is housing the device? Your explanation only works as a longitudinal effect, correct? I like the explanation, because it does seem to require the large mass - and the device undoubtedly is asymmetrical in one vector. The crankshaft would need to be on the West facing wall. It would be amusing if this were true and builders did not realize it - so that the one in Brazil works, but the one in Illinois was not aligned correctly :-) According to Wiki the Eötvös effect would be the change in perceived gravitational force caused by the change in centrifugal acceleration resulting from eastbound or westbound velocity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E%C3%B6tv%C3%B6s_effect
