It's a bunch of pseudo-scientific woo surrounding a pretty simple motor. It's impossible for it to generate more energy than what's put into it (duh). Friction and inertia still exist.
Note also that the one person praising the device was an obvious shill. It was their only Reddit comment ever. Actual engineers did not agree with the obviously biased assessment.
Wow dude Reddit..? I expect nothing better from the likes of you.. Your depiction of the magnetics is ridiculously oversimplified to the point of being meaningless. The SEG rings are not simple N/S polarities, but are a set of complex "imprinted magnetic waveforms" on the cylinders which move in a set direction around the rings based on a specialized (and undisclosed) polarity on the rings. The inner and outer ring bands would not fight with each other since only one of them (copper layer) is magnetized. The next outer layer to the cylinders is a NON-magnetic neodymium layer. The magnetized cylinders are thus magnetically insulated from the more distant secondary magnetic outer band, and so for the third set of rings. As to your thermodynamics argument: You are presuming that the ONLY reaction in the SEG is the conversion of heat to electricity, which is not exactly Searl's contention. Neither did he describe the device as 100% efficient AFAIK. But he did describe it as an open system, so your argument is moot, since none of its supposed conditions are applicable. And even if the SEG was close to 100% efficient, that would no more violate the laws of thermodynamics than would the seeming perpetuity of the earth's rotation or solar revolutions.
