He modifies the device, so that it does the work of raising the bar itself, and still has enough power to spin.
That means he is a lying fraud. Raising the bar requires "work" the system can not provide any work. If it is then he's lying. 2+2 will never equal 7.

I saw the video, I believe it's a hoax. Why do 3 magnets not make it move at all and a 4th sends it into overdrive? Each magnet would supply the same amount of "energy", thus you should see it moving with probably 1 magnet. The speed it moves at with 4 magnets means 3 is certainly sufficient.
From a logic/mathematic standpoint it has to be a hoax as it would require initial energy to start the spin in his setup. Allow me to explain.
The force the magnet exerts repelling the fan to one side is identical to the force exerted being repelled by the other side. It is pushing the fan to the left and to the right with equal force. This means the fan can never start spinning on its own.
ETA: This is why the bar has to be started at a specific spot and then raised and lowered in the video in the OP. If the magnet is in a fixed location the system stops. The CPU fan has 4 fixed magnets. By necessity the system will not move, and if started manually will stop due to friction. Learn how magnets work, the force repelling one side equals the force repelling the other. Only way to cancel this effect is to move the magnet at set intervals which is not being done on the CPU fan. Obvious hoax.
The only reason you think it works is because you do not understand magnetism.edit on 6-9-2012 by OccamsRazor04 because: (no reason given)

No experiment can run"forever" so it could never be proved.

No, you aren't. Which is why you won't generate energy ex nihilo.
