Imagine if you could build a motor designed to generate electrical power, but one that runs forever, and without using any external fuel source! This is what people have been trying to do for generations, to create a perpetual motion machine; that would be the world's first. The most preferred method is one called Overunity, which is supposed to use the attractive and repulsive force of magnets to drive an electric dynamo, of some kind. There are several videos available on Youtube of hard-working inventors seeking to discover the Holy Grail that is Overunity. Unfortunately, as many have pointed out in the comments sections of these videos, their efforts are doomed to failure; as the 1st and 2nd Law of Thermodynamics prohibits any such action.
Despite this, a recent innovation in the field of Overuntiy is leading some to believe that the answer to all our energy needs is just around the corner. The Calloway V Gate is a method of configuring your magnets, either on a flat surface or on a wheel, to produce kinetic energy. While the results can sometimes be impressive, the Calloway V Gate is ultimately a disappointment, because it fails to address the problem that seems to compound all such devices; the famous 'dreaded' sticking-spot. The sticking-spot is located at or around the Gates, and succeeds in producing attractive/repulsive forces which serve to slow down the motion of the wheel as a whole. While critics of Overunity generators point to this failure as confirmation of the incontrovertible Laws of Thermodynamics, they fail to adequately account for the interplay of physical forces, which reciprocate this slowdown. I feel that a full understanding of the interplay of physical forces would help researchers to overcome the stumbling blocks that have plagued overunity since its inception; or, in the very least, convince them to stop wasting their time.

currents to cancel the self-inductance.
The idea for my own overunity generator came about from the peculiar resemblance between the Calloway V Gate and the legendary Ouroboros; the snake that eats its own tail. While the Ouroboros would certainly constitute a self-perpetuating energy system, the difficulties that arise with the Calloway V Gate model suggest otherwise. However, there exists a drawing of the Ouroboros in an 11th Century alchemical work known as the Codex Marcianus, which is also believed to be the first example of Mobius loop ever conceived. The simple fact that this document is alchemical in nature should be highly suggestive to the reader. as the alchemists were primarily concerned with the procurement of elixirs of life and the transmutations of materials from one energy state to another. The motto inside the snake; εν το ϖαν, reads, one the whole, which may be an allusion to the principles of overunity, as perceived by men and women adepts of a different era.
