Could someone explain under which principle does Skinner's machine operate? Is it just a free falling mass that's taken back to it initial position by very little input energy, thus generating a constant gradient or potential difference, and generating energy, or is it just storing kinetic energy?

We do not allow discussions of Free Energy machines or Perpetual Motion Machines (PMMs) -- they are Forbidden Topics listed in the PF Rules (see INFO at the top of the page). This thread is closed. Please use the links in the quote below from the rules to help you understand why they do not work.
