Permanent Magnet Motor -show

It shows a V-gate magnet motor that supposedly is made functional (rotation maintained) by means of a mechanical method for moving the stator magnets in and out of the way of the gate ("re-gauging") so that the gate doesn't become a lock-up point that otherwise would stop the motion of the magnet motor.
Is this just a diversion to throw people off the scent after having second thoughts about posting the video?
