Well, um, I can offer nothing new to this thread, so since "I BELIEVE" it is a taboo subject, I'll leave this thread and un-watch it.

Over Unity (Perpetual Motion) devices are often ENTERTAINING to those of us who understand that they are somehow faked. The fun challenge is in finding the mechanism for supplying the energy that the device is supposedly producing. Sort of like solving a puzzle. We had one several months ago, some person was hoping to spin a magnetic ball in a magnetic field and recover more energy that was input. When we mentioned the hysteresis losses and the resistive losses in the coils, and the heating losses in the driver transistors the ball stopped spinning. It was a fun thing to do. Reality is so very challenging to some wishful imaginations.
