... "Brad, if you are reading here, you can do the "asymmetric magnet + razor blade" trick using nice strong hard drive magnets, and sticking one pole of them to the chunks of mu-metal that you will also find in the hard drive. So you have one pole bare, and the other pole stuck to the mu-metal piece. In my own tests here I'm using N56 NdBFe magnets and a double layer of the mu-metal keepers -- and the field on the outside of the mu-metal can't even pick up a sewing needle from less than one cm away. If I move the field so that the needle is at the edge, it will do exactly what the razor blade does in this video: it will seem to be repelled from the mu-metal side and it will fly up and over and stick to the unshielded pole side. So you can make and experiment with apparently the same "asymmetric not true monopole" magnets at home and make your own not-perpetual-motion machine yourself, if that's all it takes. Cheers mate, and keep an open mind... but not so open that your brains run out your earholes." ...
I confirm what TK said. I have a lot of these kind of magnets, I played them too, and that's exactly how it works. The principle is simple, on the one side the field lines close in the MU-metal, and on the other side in the air. So necessarily, the magnetic field is only accessible on the open side, it is the only place where the magnetic flux can manifest its presence and attract ferromagnetic matter due to the field gradient (but the flux is always looped). The idea that a magnet should be symmetrical is absurd, symmetrical magnets are only a special case, and the MU-metal removes this symmetry. Who would be surprised that a horseshoe magnet would not be symmetrical?! Thanks for the quote, Gyula. So he suspects a scam...
So do I, but because of the explanation they give that the operation of their motor would not be a perpetual movement. They say that over time magnets become demagnetized, suggesting that this is where the energy would come from. This is completely false, the energy they tell us that their motor produced over the years is millions of times higher than the magnetization energy of magnets. So even if the magnets were to lose their magnetism, the energy to remagnetize them could be taken from the energy produced and would be negligible, and therefore we would have perpetual movement. As in addition IEC shows us a video where we have all the clichés of a wonderful world with clean energy, to condition us, and they are looking for investors, I think TK is right.
