The effect he is observing in his machine is a product of leverage. Once he uses reliable methods of measuring "power in - power out", he will see there is no over-unity here.
Inertia and gravity can be incredibly deceiving. Particularly if you add leverage to the equation.

You need to look at your use of the term over unity. are you talking COP or efficiency? Efficiency can't be over 100 but COP can be very esily even if efficiency is way below 100 percent . So appliying the term over unity here needs to be specified as to uver unit What?
Over unity efficiency or over unity COP. over unity by itsel doesn't mean anything so your statement about overunity needs to be specified or erased.
All over unity means is "over 1", period . so if one uses the over unity term its good to finish it with a subject.
All language has two parts and people often only use one part and think it makses sense.
