Look, the demonstration device seems pretty simple.
Many things seem simple but are not.
They don't want to bother making a fully self-sustaining one after
you have established they can do that, because by making partially
self-sustaining prototypes they make more rapid progress, and learn
more about the phenomenon.
"Partially self-sustaining." Cool. But not over unity. Not what they
are claiming to know how to do.
That is not what I meant. I meant that perhaps the thing is producing
anomalous energy, even enough to keep it rotating, but they are
augmenting the power slightly with the battery because that happens
to be convenient. This would be like running a cold fusion cell with
laser stimulation, where you know that the laser input adds slightly
to the heat, but you don't bother trying to take it into account
because the calorimeter is not sensitive enough to detect it
accurately during calibration. (Depending on the instrument, it can
be harder to measure heat close to zero; the difference between 0.00
and 0.010 can be harder to measure than 0.450 and 0.460.) That's not
exactly cheating.
Let me repeat, I am playing devil's advocate here. I do not seriously
believe these claims. On the other hand, there have been several
magic magnetic motor claims over the years and I am not quite ready
to dismiss them all.
