Just a little visualization help.

Suppose this device actually works. What does anyone even know about replicating it? Everyone already knows that a normal "V" gate device increases in attraction as it approaches the end of the track, and for the same reason takes more energy to overcome the attraction, so it will not work.

So now if it does work, then how? Is it a "v" gate working in repel? (also does not work)
Are the rotor magnets even magnets or are they steel?
If they are magnets, what are the polarities?
Which direction are the poles on the stator magnet?
On the ends like a normal "V" gate?
It looks to be a flat thin magnet which usually have the poles on the large faces.
Or is it a flat magnet with the poles on the edges?
Is it even a magnet or a steel stator bar?

I'm thinking replication is not so straight forward, especially in view of the fact that everyone already knows the normal "V" gate configuration does not work.

Well
Stephan should call this man!
I just hung up the phone with "Rob"[not roberto]
From the above posted #
And he is a swell guy!!,a gentlemen!!

Some brief info on Robs config[the green Mr. hand one]

One side of the V is all "N"
One side is all"S"
He told me the Mag at the top of Roberto's is attraction
And also at the bottom[attraction]

He has NO PLANS to sell, has no intentions of selling any!
He's building one with the drum STATIONARY and four
bar mags on the INSIDE of the drum that spin inside the stationary  drum,
He said his is different than the guys in Germany [didn't push that ,I'll let Stephan ask].
He said I could call back when I have more questions regaurding replication [that is Stephans call too]

He says it Works as shown!!

@All,

Just spoke with Rob too. Basically he told me the same things as he told @ramset. One leg of the V is N, the other leg is S. The magnet on top is magnetized through the length. Same is the mag at the bottom but shorter. The drum of the rotor need not be made of metal, can be plastic but has to be light. Positioning of the elements (mags) of the V can have some discrepancies as seen in the video. The arrangement need not be perfect. All in all there are no special requirements and can be made with less effort than initially thought, save for the form of the cam, especially crucial for the timing. The principle resembles very much that of Walter Torbay's motor we discussed at length here in this forum couple of years ago. Also, turns out, Rob is the guy who proposed the design in question some months ago that was discussed here in this forum, as I already mentioned. Now, the guy who posted the video just took the design and made a real working device. Rob said he doesn't know who that guy is and where he's from and that he (Rob) also used to have an actual working model but didn't feel the need to go public with it. He says this contraption does work. That's in a few words the conversation. If there's anything more I'll drop another line. Let me add also that I too find Rob to be a very fine man, open and forthcoming.

Sorry if a bit lost on this one guys.

So this Rob you have been talking to on the phone, is Roobert33 who posted the video?

Cheers

Sean.

i'm a bit lost on this one too sean, but for a different reason. i was under the impression that markdansie was roobert33 because of this post:

Hi Bill,
I sent the video out to many of my friends around the world including Sterling. It was part of 101 sceptics. Everyone passed with flying colours
Except Sterling...you got to love the guy.
mark

but i'm pretty sure the guy chet and omni talked to is not roobert33.

@CLaNZeR,

The guy I spoke to was not @Robert33. He was the person who answered the phone when I called the number @ramset gave. No connection with @Robert33 whatsoever.

@nievesoliveras,

You certainly noticed the person from the link (some Jason George) says that perpetual motion is "clearly not possible" and the pictured device will not work "when analyzed". Where's the analysis, though? Rob, the person I spoke to yesterday, for one, insists it works when actually built. He said he had one working and that wasn't with much effort or precision.
