One detail not mentioned, or not emphasized adequately is this:
The Manelas and Sweet devices, if they have real energy gain at all,
only show that gain with a large capacity battery array in the circuit.
The Manelas device does not work with capacitors only and cannot close
the loop without battery chemistry. He tried and failed.
Thus the putative gain could be at best not "magnetic" so much as it is
the "interaction of an oscillating electromagnetic circuit with a large
capacity battery." This means gain is based on battery chemistry not a
transformer circuit.
Again, let's be clear - Manelas was not able to replace the large
battery array with a supercap array and maintain the charge, as with
batteries. That is problematic for a number of conclusions being made
here. The value of the Manelas device is the magnetic cooling effect.
The implication of this is that the circuit does something positive
(regenerative) to battery chemistry which allows extraction of more
chemical energy from the electrolyte than normal. Thus it is entirely
possible that there in no "overunity" per se, but instead a battery
array which is ordinarily capable of let us say: x-watt-hrs becomes
capable of 4x-watt-hrs, but it still will deplete eventually.
Again, the great value of the Manelas device could be the magnetic
cooling. However, Elon Musk would love to extend the battery-life of his
cars by a multiple, even if small but based on a simple additional
circuit ... and getting free air conditioning is a bonus.
As for Sweet, neither Bearden nor Bedini could replicate after Sweet's
death, despite having fist hand knowledge and firm belief in its reality
- and in fact there is no scientifically valid evidence that real gain
was ever proved by Sweet, Bearden nor Bedini in any device which was
available for independent verification. There is enticing anecdote, but
that is it - anecdotal only.

The one datum that speaks against this skepticism about magnetic based
overunity is the testimony of Brian Ahern who has tested this type of
system for years and found it to be true. Brian Ahern is a serious man
and is very sensitive to scamming.
The superparamagnetism mechanism fits too well with the dots that come
from the cookbook. Those dots all connect so neatly. As to where the
excess energy fundamentally comes from is a open question. The energy
does not come from any nuclear process (which is wonderful), so it
must come from quantum mechanical effects (entanglement?) and most
probably from vacuum energy.

The MEG (Bearden) attempts this switching of flux and has not been
demonstrated to be overunity, as far as I know. Probably just
measurement errors from apparent vs real power. I think the way
forward would be to examine the peculiar shape or form of the
engineered permanent magnetic field and think about how that
relates to electron spin/orbits.
Gut feeling is that some sort of gyroscopic precession is involved….
