You sir, know nothing.
The LEVEL of technology the world has is gargantuan. The amount that is mass produced and available to the public is miniscule.
We as a race have the technology to create our deep space defenses such as rail gun systems. That at the proper length can fire objects at the speed of light. However most likely would incinerate well before that. The speed of light is about 900 machs give or take. A far cry from the mach 20 speed made publically available back in august 2011, meaning the supersonic craft that the government crashed. On the down low and rarely believed is that we could pretty much blow up the moon with just a hunk of metal given acceleration from a magnetic rail system whose capabilities are only limited by "the length" and "size of the barrel.
As he says in the video, the weight can be returned to the top of the frame by using some of the power that has been generated and stored by the downward motion of the weigh

OP, Don't listen to half these people, I think you're to be commended for seeing a problem and at least trying to find a solution. I have a background in electricity and very recently started with electronics as I too would like to tinker around with some of these ideas and some of my own.
One idea I've had, very rudimentary though (for 20+ years). The earth is a giant magnet. Problem is the magnetic field is extremely weak. Is there a way to magnify it somehow, or find something that will react with the extremely weak field? Personally, I think this is the secret to anti-gravity, however I have a rudimentary understanding of physics, so I could be wrong.
I have other ideas but still thinking about how to get past some of the issues I see with them.

The power extracted from the lowering of the weight will not be greater than the power required to lift it back up.
Creating Perpetual Motion Machine is impossible, and even more impossible is to make device that makes energy from "nothingness".
There is limited amount of energy in Universe, all that energy came from annihilation when matter and antimatter particle hit each other. There was slightly more matter than antimatter, thus Universe formed.

If it works, like he says, it would generate massive amounts of heat. Likely enough to burn up the wires, at least on the output side. Heat also makes things less efficient.
I can't speak too much for the electronics (solid-state), as I'm still re-learning the little bit I did know about them.
I would say it does not work as the heat generated would eventually stop the system either though fault or running out of power. Also, of the 97,000 views in the last year and a half, noone has built this (looks pretty simple to build, few parts) and verified it.
