Yet Another Perpetual Motion Device

The Star reports on this inventor breaking all the laws of physics as far as free energy goes. It even provoked interest from "esteemed Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Markus Zahn". I would like to know how this seemingly backyard enthusiast's experimental set up has not been tried a million times over the years. It seems so simple and too good to be true. The article has links to a multi-part video demo of the device accelerating an electric motor under load for free!

I just find the idea interesting, how hard it would be to convince people, that you actually have something like this.

I had a similar thought, immediately followed by "How would I prove this tech?" My solution, I would hook it up to a dynamo and start selling power back to the electric company. I would use the profits to build more and more invention+dynamo, until I could sell back enough power to pay my mortgage. Then I would have a talk with my local power company about how I am able to make such a nice profit selling them electricity. Because while careful scientific review certainly adds validity, proven profitability adds a very different kind of validity.
