The video posted shows the subject moving a magnet closer/farther away from the wheel generating the rotation. I would imagine to make this bigger to generate more power would require bigger magnets. Bigger magnets would require more force pushing it in and out(more power). Obviously you aren't going to stand there all day pushing the magnet in and out. So you would need some sort of engine or motor to power it. Taking gas/electricity to move the one magnet just to make it spin. And as we all know you can't put in 1KW and get out 2KW. Is this what your claiming?
