The above Figure A, represents a comprehension drawing of a base physics function of the machine, the drawing shows the machine that had the broken axel so it varies slightly from the version of the repair, so do not relate parts shape or configuration to the machine being constructed. The physics is simple for this component.
The rods each had a weight on the end, this weight in general is usually only the weight of the magnet, but for the purpose of explanation we will say 1 kilo. As each rod is pushed and pulled on the left side toward the centre simply by the standard repulsion of attracting and opposing magnets in the centre and outside the wheel, the weights on the ends are also moved inward. The opposite effect occurs on the rights hand side with the magnetic array reversed, thus pulling the rods outward.
The resulting effect is that the weights on each end travel in different sized circles. The energy from fall of the three centre arms on the right is now far grater than the three centre arms on the left. The top arm is centre of gravity and has no weight to lift but needs to be propelled, the arm at low centre is the same, but has momentum, the upper and lower arms are simply a zero equation.
If you consider that each weight is 1 kilo, then you understand that if the red circle was complete that would equate to balance, with the shift of three one kilo weights to the right at any given time during rotation you can understand all the friction in the world will not stop it falling or turning the wheel.
The error of previous machine designs is that they had to be spun to start or they had to have some form of preloading via springs or weights or position. Now look again at the above wheel, the magnets are permanent, so if the wheel is held still, those rods are in that position even stationary, so what happens when you let it go? This is why the machine works, you simply can't make it sit without moving. The trick for want of a better description, is that magnets have a field that creates a wall before the rods pass over it, normally they would hit the wall and bounce back. You cannot increase the weight of the rod to gain momentum, without increasing the strength of the magnet to move the rod, as such the wall also increases. So normally this is a catch 22 situation. This machine simply uses other forms of physics to defeat the wall, so we have a wheel that spins by itself. If you noted the comments about the new supplier I have found for the high powered 100 kilo lift magnets x 16 per wheel, then you well understand the power of 1.6 ton moving as a standard generator.
The phyics that enables the wheel is similar to what many refer to as a trigate or train effect. Of which many links are available. The trigate or simply triangle array and fields, it is simply a shunt device. The shunt or acceleration effect is shown in the training videos
This is a trigate shunt: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=pnMSSz7W8YU&feature=related

This is the wall: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSriV08sfG0
This is removing walls manually: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-tmCwZQCMo
Unfortunatley the power of the magnetic fields in shunts is very slight, however when you use the principle of a train shunt as an arc and simply ensure the walls in and out are cleared of fields, you have both an accelerator and a self drive wheel that uses gravity for the power of the generator, due to the vast weights that can be moved accross the wheel.
Below is a graphic roughly depicting the rods for this machine being built now, remember this first machine is simply to show the physics aspects and function of the machine up to and including fully operational.
Figure B
The lengths of the rod sections vary on the size of the wheel and central hub, naturally this would be 1 piece in a commercial model except removable ends for the magnets. The weight represented by the disk determines your basic power level over and above the weight of the magnet.
For those of you who have not previously noted why the weight is extended, this is leverage, this is separation of mechanics using one form of physics to defeat another. This happens every day in many devices, a plane is the easiest example, standing vertical, no plane could lift itself off the ground, yet a simple change to the shape of the wing creates separation of mechanics, one being the thrust of the motors, and tow being the air travelling faster under the wing than over it simply because one side is longer than the other when pushed through the same air space. So too when you increase the weight of the rods to try an break the magnetic wall the magnets required to lift the rods need to be stronger so the wall increases, yet when you have leverage outside where the wall exists and the weights outside that wall are part of the lift capacity of the magnets you have leverage to break the wall. This is combined with clever design in the magnetic arc tracks that surround the wheel and inside the wheel with hub designed machines.
