Hi, I have an issue that I can not answer as I do not understand the subject matter. Would you be so kind and review [crackpot link deleted] and provide me your impressions.

It is just another one of the thousands of crackpot perpetual motion machines designed and failed throughout history. This particular one is a very common design. Rest assured, there is nothing to it.

You can read more about it here: http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/museum/unwork.htm#cheng
 
First, let's look at the field produced by a circular ring of magnet poles of the same polarity lying in a plane. Due to symmetry and the vector nature of force, their combined field at the center of the circle is zero. But what of their combined field elsewhere in the plane? The surprising result is that the combined field is very nearly zero anywhere in the plane, within the circle. [1] In fact, if the ring were a continuous distribution of poles, the field would be exactly zero anywhere within the circle and in the plane of the circle. That continuous distribution is a useful model for further analysis.

Wrong answer from lhup.edu. We live in a three dimensional space, not two.
 
Thank you all for your review. You have made me a better person.

Interesting. I must admit that I was not aware of that.
Could you give a reference?

Only when you draw them
