Actually future thinker up there posted a vid that proves this type of concept is sound.
"Proof" is a very strong word. You need a hell of a lot more than a YouTube video to "prove" something, ........ so I'm out of here!

btw i like this video here, it's the same concept, you'll find hundreds upon hundreds of magnet motors on youtube, but god forbid anyone should trust the info contained in a video so long as it is or isnt on youtube,
If a machine is built that forces us to revise our understanding of the laws of physics, then we will do so.

if the machine works, it works. F**k your physics.
Trial and error is all that matters,

But why do you think the machine in the OP videos is a model and not a working machine? It's kind of funny how so many say they have concepts that will work but no working models that work.
Here's some advice: If you think something will work how about building it and showing us a working model instead of claims, diagrams, plans, hopes, and dreams (failed)?
I didn't.

Some people seem to think the laws of physics are formulas that come out of a book and that doesn't mean as much as building an experimental model and testing it. While I don't want to discourage anyone from doing your own experiments (go ahead, you may learn something), the laws of physics are more than just formulas in a book, they were actually derived from experimental trial and error which proved them, over and over and over again.
However I would discourage you from spending your entire life on a failed concept, like this guy who has trying to build a working model of his idea since 1946:

I mean seriously, how long does it take?

By the way, they're your laws of physics too, swearing at them doesn't make them go away.
There are the true laws of physics (which have nothing to do with man's understanding), and then there are the laws of physics written by man based on man's understanding of the true laws. While I would be the first person to agree there are gaps in our understanding of the true laws of physics, I would NOT agree that the area of electromagnetism is an area with such gaps. Lots of people have tried to build electromagnetic contraptions like this and they have all only proven further that electromagnetism is one area of the natural world we have a fairly good understanding of, with respect to the operation of motors and generators such as this.

agreed, if it works, why not just show that it works?

If a design concept breaks the known laws of physics I don't think it's unreasonable to expect irrefutable proof. Considering it hasn't been implemented I'm even less inclined to buy into the idea. If that makes me an stooge of "The Man" or whatever paranoid conspiracy I get pigeon-holed into then... well, what can you do, eh?
