Cool

The problem is when you equate scientifically impossible to the truly impossible. My first gut instinct is that it's either truthfully expensive, unreliable, or low output. And then does it even perform. But if your first instinct is, "THAT IS SCIENTIFICALLY IMPOSSIBLE!" then you've got problems. Many people swear your MPG is directly proportional to the BTU of your fuel. To them, anything else is "SCIENTIFICALLY IMPOSSIBLE!" If it generates more power than is put into it from say a battery than it is hyperefficient, by definition it doesn't add in another source of energy because all input is accounted for, therefore there is something about the design that either produces more net power than the input energy or it "unlocks" more useful energy. Most energy is "locked" in chemical bonds and for the most part is unobtainable using conventional methods. Most "unlocking" technology is the domain of modern Sci-Fi and is usually quite simply, expensive to attempt. The "cheap" or "accidental" event of someone getting hyperefficiency is usually just a myth or hoax, not that it's impossible just unheard of. Even if someone actually succeeded they would most likely be laughed out of existence as a fraud and/or never heard from again before they were given any credit. The world is full of harsh people.

MY problem is I can't watch Youtube videos due to bandwidth restrictions. If you can share anything please do.

Magnets don't really generate work, they exert a limited force right? But unless we're talking high power magnets they're not likely to be anywhere powerful enough to sneeze at. EG. A flywheel works for toy cars but it's not practical for a big vehicle. This is the first time someone's claimed "magic" magnets. I'm almost to the point of believing that there's something magical about magnets that can be further enhanced but no one has figured it out. It could just be false Alchemy again.
