I thought the justifications for these mechanical over-unity machines came from some kind of non-conservation during JERK (the derivative of acceleration) and the machines were designed to produce jerk. Does anyone else remember the justification based on non-conservation during jerk?
Perhaps during jerk, angular momentum can be exchanged with linear momentum or something. I don't remember the argument.
