Oh yeah, I saw this video...

Instead of insulting you, I’ll give you the science behind it.
Yes, it will work, but only as long as the copper brushings and the magnetism lasts. The magnets in the dynamo will start de-gaussing after a time; faster under heavy loads. In that machine, the kinetic energy being produced comes from the potential energy in the magnets themselves.

There are many types of perpetual motion machines, but they all require something in common - fuel. Hydroelectric power plants are as close as you’re going to get, with the perpetual fuel being gravity itself (so long as the river doesn’t run dry).

But if you want free energy, look into the electrolysis of water (H2O). Separating the oxygen from the hydrogen then using the later as fuel can and should be the future, so long as there is an economical means of separating the 2 elements. As we know, most of the earth is water, and we’re not running out of that any time soon.

Hope that helps.

Separating the covalent bond between hydrogen and O2 requires more energy than can be utilized by the hydrogen. Nobody has demonstrated an economical method yet.

Fantastic....

“The magnets in the dynamo will start de-gaussing after a time; faster under heavy loads”

That is a technical response that most likely is precisely correct.

So to be a practical solution, eventually bearings and magnets will need to be replaced. So that boils down to economics and an analysis of the value of the excess electricity produced over the costs ofbearing/magnet replacement
