If you watch the 1st 5 seconds of the video, you can clearly see the arms have one way bearings.

Yes, even though they are fitted, the device comes to a stop.
Exactly, the device reaches a stable equilibrium point in the video and this is why it stops.
This is my point.
The center of mass is no longer in a position to overcome the friction.
The new design overcomes that issue by keeping the weights horizontal all the way around.
What do you see will happen based on the drawing so far?
You will have to use your imagination, that a frame, hub and main bearings are there.
