Too bad; I've waited two weeks to see if you were full of bull or not. Looks like you are.
As for kephren's cool animation, nice work. Question would be who is doing the spinning? Seems to me either the balls are spinning or the pyramid is, not both, or you won't induce a current flow.

Ouch!
Seems to me that the principle of 3 stationary magnetic spheres of the right size compared to the magnetic pyramid would cause the pyramid to float firstly when placed in between them as outlined then spin due to the opposition of 3 spheres to 4 pyramid sides. Due to the coriolis effect? It does make sense...
'Notching' or shaping the spheres as mentioned and to the shape alluded to in the crop circle, (the animation doesn't show that yet, if I am reading the crop circle picture correctly) if that is what it IS alluding to would suggest to me that the spheres would spin in the other direction to the pyramid, amplifying the effect? Need to look at it as I only saw this thread yesterday so will check out the links and get a closer look at the truth of whether this would work or not as time allows, over xmas hopefully.
I described this thread to a friend yesterday in work. We are an engineering firm, and we are going to try this. Next week we're going to get to finding some magnetite. We have a few ideas if how to shape it by water jet cutting or mounting and grinding then using an abrasive tumbler to round and polish the spheres.
If magnetite is not available or too difficult to machine cast iron would be easier to make the pieces from.
Starting with larger spheres then in the animation (as a start point just guessing at the relative strength of the magnetism of the spheres compared to the pyramid we'll see if it floats first. It seems as if it would. This ties in with the device in coral castle, which appears to have a circle of magnets, an inverted pyramid, and a mechanism for spinning part of the device.
A frame to hold the spheres in place, static at first then free to rotate OR be driven if necessary, to see what happens, would be easy enough to make.
Don't come back and answer that if you drive the device you use power so therfore its not free energy, I mean it can be experimented with to see, and if it was necessary then one would need to measure output against input to check whether free energy is being produced.
A mechanism to push the pyramid down would be easy enough to make too.
Playing with the relative sizes of the spheres and pyramid at first to see if the principal works wouldn't need this last bit I think, if the pyramid was heavy enough to force itself down to the correct (ish) position.
This is definitely worth trying IMO. Spinning magnetic pyramid as someone stated will result in spinning magnetic field, harnessable by placing a stationary coil around it. If there;s a discharge from the pyramid tip surely that could be harnessed too. I'm not an elecrical engineer so I don't know, but there must be some way that can be done relatively easy. If the tip of the pyramid is fine or anyway if the charge available is high it'll arc off it so it surely can be collected? Electrical engineers? This doable?
