Perpetual motion machine?

Question

Here's a video of a permanent magnet motor (alsetalokin): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7fh2RP_uEs

Could someone explain how it works? Is it breaking the laws of thermodynamics?

Answer 1

There's so much concealment here it's difficult to tell what's really going on.  You can however be very sure it's not a perpetual motion machine

Answer 2

There seem to be two possibilities here:

1. He has rewritten the laws of physics and will soon be the most famous man on earth.

2. It is a fake being driven by something under the table

Edit:

What?? I give the most balanced and truthful answer possible, and still I get a thumbs down?

Oh well. A thumbs down from an idiot is really a thumbs up.
