These ideas come to me after watching the video posted by Rickoff.
A prototype of a mechanical mimic of a “Swinging Gym” may give us free energy directly from the shaft.
The change of the centre of gravity overcomes friction and increases the potential energy.
Theoretical, it will add the “acceleration gain” at each revolution, and disintegrate unless we tap some energy on it.
Reality is that we have to use a force to switch the weight against gravity and centrifugal force.
Permanent magnets may work.
My questions are?
1- The repulsion force will reduce the velocity of the weight when it reaches the magnetic field or will only push it inwards thru the rod decreasing the amplitude but maintaining velocity enough to reach the top?
2- What will be the ideal size and shape of the saddle magnet?
3- Less magnetic field at entrance and a field just strong enough to avoid period braking will accelerate the weight up? ( When we push two magnets in repulsion they fly away)
4- What are the physics of those movements and directions of escape in the mag field?
5- There will be a geometry that will push the weight up, or at least don´t disturb the RPM?
First I thought on the setup with magnetic shield, more elaborate and that avoids the adversity of repulsion of the period, while shortening the radius.
It is a device that can be miniaturized, and I am inviting everybody to try it out and feel free to develop it if viable.
Thank you

I could never avoid the sticky spot
at the point of change from attraction to repulsion, although my wheel was rotating in a horizontal plane at the time and not taking advantage of any gravitational assist. In looking at your drawings two things come to mind.
I see in a two spoke set up, sliding magnets moving four times in each revolution. Now here is the big IF, if these magnets were sliding inside a coil might a electrical pulse be produced, stored in a capacitor, and dumped to a solenoid to some how assist in getting past the sticky spot?
