Ok so far as I can see there is only one magnet clearly visible and all
the motion is the product of fingers and the tweezers poking it. Are we
sure they are legit images of the Steorn thing since there is no self
motion visible in those pictures? The little arm on the right is a
classic escapement that allows the magnet to push the disc its mounted
on a few degrees. A spring then returns it to the start position. in
effect we have a retarded cycle with two springs rocking a disc back and
forth in the plane of the disc, in this case one of the springs is a
magnet. All that's nothing new?! If its legitimate then these images
are intentionally lacking a key component. The bit that moves the
escapement up and down with no external input of energy: i.e. fingers or
tweezers. 1600th century clockwork.
If it is that simple the worlds scientific community will have a
complete and total fit. With wood, brass and twine Leanado Davinchi
could have built the thing.

This is very odd.
I tried accessing MPG video at the relativity.ca web site again, and now
appears to be UserID & Password protected.
What's going on?
