Anybody see anything other than an electric motor in this?

I see an electric motor plus snake oil.

I see a "Technology" section that is impressive only for its vacuousness.

Thanks for your replies. An auto analyst/commentator mentioned it on his 2 minute radio program this morning, and said there was this new motor that didn't use fuel, just magnetic power. Sounded like an electric motor to me. Either it has an external power source or it violates the 2nd law. I looked at the web page and saw the cables going to a battery in the "See the engine run" video. You have confirmed my opinion.

I saw the battery and the cables too. I think it's simply a "push" rather than a "pull" motor. Some people get obsessed with the repulsion forces magnets provide. I must admit I find it hard to get my brain around them too - I can play magnet-pushes-magnet games all day.

According to this site, Cycclone is a scam:

A couple of other companies referring to similar products:
"AKOIL" FUEL LESS POWER GENERATORS

Another one:

And a third one:
Perendev Power (these people also seem to be heavily in the ad business...beware of popups)
