The device looks like its USING more energy than actually producing - it takes energy to rotate it and push the tube up and down. Where does the energy come from? The energy "stored" in the magnets cannot be unlimited.
Look at the first test.
Do you know what they are doing?
Reverse polarization...they are shoving one magnet toward another and creating considerable forward motion. Nothing could have less of an energy expenditure, be easier or more free.

Where magnets are concerned, they have 'inbuilt' magnetic energy and thus no external energy source is required to fire them up as shown in the OPs vid, thus making it a perpetual motion device. However, you can never get perpetual energy out of such contraptions.

Exactly how do you know that?
Because I've been around business circles my whole life. The main one in the you-es is the FTC
So again perhaps why people aren't willing to take a chance and start selling any charging devices.
No, the reason no one is selling this is because it does not work as claimed.
Law: A descriptive generalization about how some aspect of the natural world behaves under stated circumstances.
Fact: In science, an observation that has been repeatedly confirmed and for all practical purposes is accepted as “true.” Truth in science, however, is never final and what is accepted as a fact today may be modified or even discarded tomorrow.

How can it be a "perpetual motion device" when it stops within a few minutes?
This is what chaps my hide about many of you. You so fervently claim these things Cannot work, Must not work it is Impossible for them to work because they will Break the Laws of Physics. In your mind the Laws of Physics are immutable, unchangeable, cannot be re-written, cannot be expanded on, discarded or even possibly wrong altogether.
This belief, this dogma, is Not scientific. You have just made your Science into a Religion and you have become a bunch of disciples instead of scientists.

thinking out loud..... Now could you just put this machine inside a coil of copper wire. The changing magnetic fields caused by the moving magnets will generate a current in the coils. no friction, free electricity.

The only way to get energy out of this would be to use the motion of the magnetic fields.
It would have to use some unknown physics, but theres room. Magnetic fields, especially in astrophysics are poorley understood.
