Yayo, I would calculate how much wattage the pendulum would make on the down swing and how much wattage is needed to get an electomagnet to extend its flux that far out, so it grabs the pendulum and pulls it up. Electormagnets are stronger then permanent magnets of the same weight but the flux does not reach as far and will need a permalloy cone to direct the flux. It may be alot more simple to get a couple of brushless motors and reduce the magnetic cogging in both, then gear them 1.2:1 and spin them and hope
You could get funding for finding thinner dielectrics with a much higher "K" to use in super capacitors and maybe a way to grow carbon nano tubes inside other carbon nano tubes. Then let the dielectric fill the gaps between the two tubes. You could get rid of alot of toxic batteries that way.
Or find some alloy of bismuth and other elements that can "switch" magnetic flux at room temp and switch at a 1 degree change of temp..
Chem, I knew about those two facts about ozone, ( I read the MSDS). When I said it could be directly injected, I mean't it wouldn't escape. Maybe a less flamable/costly gas could be used with O3 if the end products are not as harmfull.

When the pendulum is falling and powering the generator, gravity then momentum lose just after it reaches the bottom and starts comming back up. If it doesn't because the pendulum is far too heavy and just suppose it did work, you would need 500LBs for 100 watts, then why not just get big freznel lenses and closed loop steam engines.

When the pendulum reaches the bottom and starts coming back up and loses energy, this is where the magnets come into play. When the pendulum is at the highest point in its swing, the electromagnets would be there to keep the pendulum at that same height everytime it swings up.
A 500 pound swinging pendulum would produce 100 watts? Just wondering where you are getting that from. I would say that isnt accurate. 100 watts isnt much.

Any magnet used to keep the pendulum going is also not going to allow the pendulum back down again.
You could use a DC motor with a pendulum on it and just use an H bridge of mosfets to kick the pendulum in either direction.

And it shows.
